immunopedia: the journal of immunology definitions and systematics • Open Access • e-ISSN XYZX-YZXYEditor-in-chief: Radoslaw SpiewakDOI: 10.14320/immunopedia Welcome to immunopedia! Immunology is a rapidly expanding field that is impossible to follow for a human being. There is no official data as to how many immunology journals exist, but estimates range from the hundreds to the thousands. Textbooks and dictionaries go outdated as soon as they are off the press. It is rather a intimidating and frustrating situation for a novice in the field, however, experts also tend do hide in information bubbles of very specialized and narrow areas. Nevertheless, one cannot leave everything to artificial intelligence. Hence this humble attempt at creating a platform intended to be a grid for immunology definitions and concepts presented as short encyclopedic entries with in-depth, evidence-based comments supported by relevant literature sources that put the defined terms in the right context. A second, perhaps even more important goal was to create a platform for communication and exchange of ideas between all those interested. Inevitably, the founder and editor-in-chief is left to his own resources to feed the content to the journal until other authors hopefully take notice and are convinced to publish. Especially when no global publishing company is involved in this independent, citizen project. It's no surprise, then, that almost all the articles in inaugural issues are written by the editor-in-chief. However, I firmly believe that this will be a temporary situation. I look forward to collaborating with the thriving community of immunologists, allergists, rheumatologists, transplantologists, and all researchers and scientists interested in concise definitions in immunology. Our journal is wide open to all authors interested in submitting:
