The Clinical and Experimental Vaccine Research has been selected for coverage in Emerging Sources Citation Index of Web of Science

The ESCI was recently launched to include high-quality, peer-reviewed publications of regional importance and in emerging scientific fields, thereby extending the universe of publications in Web of Science [1]. ESCI provides the highly selective indexes for sources under evaluation as part of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). Greater discoverability would lead to measurable citations. Using the items in ESCI, readers can measure the contribution of each article and identify potential collaborators in their research fields. Inclusion in the ESCI basically means that CEVR is qualified in the aspect of contents and edition. Standing at the point of ESCI inclusion, CEVR may have more chance to expose informative articles to global researchers and be cited by them, eventually advancing for SCIE. CEVR, the official English journal of the Korean Vaccine Society, was born in July 2012. It is an international, peer reviewed, and open-access journal, aiming to support for communication among the experts in research and development of vaccines, leading to a higher standard in comprehension of the molecular and biological traits of vaccines. Since the beginning in 2012, CEVR published more than 90 valuable articles including 35 original and 37 review articles. On average, about five original and review articles have been published in each issue, respectively. Owing to the contribution of authors, reviewers and editorial board members, CEVR was registered in PubMed Central and PubMed by the date of April 19, 2013, and KoreaMed, and KoreaMed Syn-apse by date of July 30, 2013 [2]. It has been registered to many other databases including NLM catalog, CAS, ICMJE, EBSCO, and DOAJ also. At this moment, we expect ES-CI inclusion to serve as a stepping-stone for CEVR to upgrade its quality and influence. CEVR will continue striving to accomplish its goal of serving as one of the leading international journals focusing on vaccine and vaccination. With respect to epidemiology , vaccine development, clinical trials and basic researches, CEVR will try to publish valuable editorials, novel original articles, practice guidelines, meta-analyses, and invited review articles by renowned scholars. Finally, we appreciate the editorial board members and the Korean Vaccine Society for the contribution and ongoing efforts to improve CEVR.
