# Immunity (immunity)

## Journal positioning

Immunity is Cell Press's flagship immunology journal, publishing mechanistic studies that define how immune cells develop, are activated, regulated, and mediate host defense or inflammatory disease — grounded in in vivo biology. The readership is the global immunology community: basic immunologists, immunopathologists, and translational researchers studying autoimmunity, infection, cancer immunology, and immune-mediated disease. Papers must reveal a mechanistic principle that reshapes how the field understands an immune process; descriptive immunophenotyping or cataloguing without mechanism does not reach the bar.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Cell Press site or submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names Immunity as the target venue.
- A mechanistic immunology study is choosing between Immunity, Nature Immunology, Science Immunology, or Journal of Experimental Medicine.
- A manuscript in cancer immunology or infection immunology needs to assess whether the immunological mechanism — rather than the cancer or pathogen biology — is the primary advance.
- The author needs Immunity's specific desk-reject triggers and a ranked alternative list.
