Human Heredity

Journal Title：Human Heredity

Gathering original research reports and short communications from all over the world, 'Human Heredity' is devoted to methodological and applied research on the genetics of human populations, association and linkage analysis, genetic mechanisms of disease, and new methods for statistical genetics, for example, analysis of rare variants and results from next generation sequencing. The value of this information to many branches of medicine is shown by the number of citations the journal receives in fields ranging from immunology and hematology to epidemiology and public health planning, and the fact that at least 50% of all 'Human Heredity' papers are still cited more than 8 years after publication (according to ISI Journal Citation Reports). Special issues on methodological topics (such as ‘Consanguinity and Genomics’ in 2014; ‘Analyzing Rare Variants in Complex Diseases’ in 2012) or reviews of advances in particular fields (‘Genetic Diversity in European Populations: Evolutionary Evidence and Medical Implications’ in 2014; ‘Genes and the Environment in Obesity’ in 2013) are published every year. Renowned experts in the field are invited to contribute to these special issues.

《人类遗传》汇集了来自世界各地的原创研究报告和简短通讯，致力于人类群体遗传学、关联和连锁分析、疾病遗传机制以及统计遗传学新方法（例如罕见变异分析和下一代测序结果）的方法和应用研究。该期刊在免疫学和血液学、流行病学和公共卫生规划等领域的引用次数表明了这些信息对许多医学分支的价值，而且至少 50% 的《人类遗传》论文在发表 8 年多后仍被引用（根据 ISI 期刊引文报告）。每年都会出版方法论专题（如 2014 年的“血缘关系与基因组学”；2012 年的“复杂疾病中的罕见变异分析”）或特定领域进展综述（2014 年的“欧洲人群的遗传多样性：进化证据和医学意义”；2013 年的“肥胖症中的基因和环境”），并邀请该领域的知名专家为这些专题撰稿。

Human Heredity创刊于1969年，由S. Karger AG出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 遗传学全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度 12周，或约稿 ，影响因子指数1.1，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
