º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Expands Partnerships With 2 Global Virology Societies

March 9, 2026

Washington, D.C.—º£½ÇÖ±²¥ ( º£½ÇÖ±²¥) is pleased to announce the expansion of its virology network through partnerships with 2 leading international societies, the (KSoV) and the  (AVS). Under these partnerships, º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s  (JVI) becomes an affiliated journal of both societies, providing KSoV and AVS members with exclusive benefits. This takes the total number of active  º£½ÇÖ±²¥ partnerships with virology societies to 4, building on existing collaborations with the American Society for Virology (ASV) and the Gesellschaft für Virologie (GfV). 

Through these collaborations,  º£½ÇÖ±²¥ and its partners will work to amplify the global reach and impact of virology research. JVI publishes top innovative research on viruses that affect animals, archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants and protozoa. The partnerships will provide discounts on JVI individual subscriptions, page charges, supplemental material hosting and the purchase of reprints and e-prints to partner society members. KSoV and AVS, along with their community of members, will play a vital role in promoting and contributing to JVI’s scientific excellence. 

“By uniting our societies under shared goals, we are expanding the global impact of virology research,” said Melissa Junior, Chief Publishing Officer at º£½ÇÖ±²¥. “JVI will benefit immensely from the diverse expertise and perspectives brought by our partner societies.” 

This shared vision is echoed by º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s new partner societies, whose leaders emphasized how these collaborations will strengthen scientific exchange and expand opportunities for virologists worldwide. 

“Partnering with º£½ÇÖ±²¥ and JVI strengthens our ability to connect Korean virologists with the global research community. We look forward to advancing the field of virology together,” said Jae-Hwan Nam, Ph.D., President of KSoV. 

“On behalf of the Australasian Virology Society, we are thrilled and excited about our recent collaboration with º£½ÇÖ±²¥/JVI. The AVS recognizes  º£½ÇÖ±²¥/JVI as a premier publishing organization and society, and we are very excited to work together and consolidate the international research community. This is a great initiative for all concerned and to support virology research on the global stage in times where awareness and education in infectious diseases are extremely important,” said Jason Mackenzie, Ph.D., President of AVS. 

º£½ÇÖ±²¥ and its partner societies look forward to working more closely to benefit their members and the global scientific community. The collaboration will promote advancements in virology research, encourage scientific collaboration and enhance engagement within the global microbial sciences community.
