# Science Immunology (science-immunology)
## Journal positioning
Science Immunology is the AAAS specialist immunology journal in the Science family, launched to publish mechanistic immunology research of the highest significance with a particular emphasis on broad relevance and translational potential. Compared to Nature Immunology and Immunity (Cell Press), Science Immunology explicitly values the interface between basic immune mechanisms and human disease — it prizes studies that illuminate fundamental immune biology while having a clear line of sight to human health, including infection, autoimmunity, allergy, cancer immunology, and vaccination. The journal's AAAS editorial culture means a paper must be written for an audience slightly broader than pure immunologists: the advance must be legible and compelling to a scientifically literate non-immunologist. 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 AAAS Science Immunology site.
## When to trigger
- The author names Science Immunology as the target for a mechanistic immunology study with translational or human relevance.
- An immunology paper with strong human data or clinical relevance is being placed among Science Immunology, Nature Immunology, Immunity, and Journal of Experimental Medicine.
- The author wants to understand where Science Immunology sits relative to Nature Immunology (broader relevance / human focus valued) and Immunity (Cell Press, deep mechanism).
- The author needs Science Immunology's desk-reject criteria and a credible alternative-venue list.
