Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, the central focus of public health efforts has been shifted towards research into vaccines, immunobiology and molecular vaccines to control the pandemic as well as preserving other regular immunizations concurrently. Vaccine research and development has already saved many lives around the world, but still vaccine-preventable disease continue to cause significant deaths and economic burden globally as well.  

Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to submit an article to this Special Issue of Vaccines, molecular immunology in the era of pandemic and beyond. The objective of this issue is to invite original research articles and reviews to enhance knowledge and better understanding of basic and immune responses after immunization of individuals in health and different ailments. Despite this, we also invite articles submitted on basic and clinical reviews, opinion and commentary pieces, visual pieces, and letters. The manuscripts outside these themes are also welcomed on the cellular, molecular, and behavioral response of vaccines, ethics, safety, and many other related areas. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The current study established a research mapping of the vaccine design using bibliometric indicators and network visualization. For an analysis of the result, the study retrieved a total of 5379 documents from Scopus from 1983 to 2021. The study used the VOS Viewer and the RStudio tools for data visualization. The findings revealed that there has been significant growth in literature on vaccine design in the last two decades; in the last ten years, the year with the most publications were 2020, with 477 publications, and the highest had a total of 14,145 citations. D.R. Burton was ranked as the most prolific author, with 86 publications and 18,449 total citations and was observed as the most frequently published author in the domain. The National Institute of Health (NIH) was the most productive organization in the domain, with 266 publications. The document entitled “Genome analysis of multiple pathogenic isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae” received a total of 1398 citations, and was the most cited document in the field of vaccine design. In network visualization, an analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords showed that “vaccine” and “vaccine design” occurred the most, which was 761 and 335 times, respectively. The study also observed that there were five clusters of author collaboration with a maximum of 18 authors and a minimum of two authors. The findings of the study will aid scholarly coalitions in the domains of medicine and health, information science and bibliometric professionals to carry out further research in the area of vaccine design.
