The International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research
A doctorate in applied linguistics, John Oller has written a series of articles criticizing vaccines and questioning their potential causes. This controversial view has been defended by anti-vaxxers and other opponents of vaccines. While his views may be extreme, they do not dispute the necessity of promoting public health by preventing disease.
Source types
The International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research is a journal dedicated to vaccine theory. This is an international journal founded by Senior Editor Christopher A. Shaw. It is devoted to research and theory about vaccines and the role of the media. In this article, we explore the sources, frames and journalistic genres that are commonly used in articles about vaccines. We find that the most frequently used sources were government institutions and clinicians.
The IJVTPR publishes scholarly reviews, editorials, book reviews, and original research. Unlike mainstream journals, IJVTPR has no vested interests that may bias the information published. This is important for the unbiased analysis and interpretation of research findings.
The Journal requires that supplementary materials include data files. These data files should have a caption that identifies them as such. They should also be linked to the published article. The Journal also encourages the submission of software, models, algorithms, and protocols.
Article characteristics
An article’s citation style is often determined by the type of source it draws from. For instance, an article that focuses on a vaccine, such as a chickenpox vaccine, may cite an article from a professional association. But an article that reports a new vaccine, such as a flu vaccine, may use a source from an independent organization. The type of source will also influence the tone and length of an article.
While the journal’s name might suggest that the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research (IJVTPR) publishes science-based research, the journal has been accused of being a mouthpiece for anti-vaxxers. It has carried articles from the anti-vax group Childrens Defense Team and by John Oller, the creator of the theory that vaccines cause autism.
Vaccines is a peer-reviewed international journal. The journal is affiliated with the American Society for Virology and offers discounted article processing charges for members. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed within 17.4 days of submission and acceptance to publication occurs in 2.7 days. This rapid publication is characteristic of MDPI journals. Furthermore, Vaccines’ peer-reviewers receive vouchers to use on their next publication.
Conflict of interest policy
A conflict of interest can seriously affect the integrity of a researcher and his or her results. This is a serious issue for both the researcher and the journal, so all authors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest prior to submitting an article. This is done both while submitting the article and on the last page of each published article.
Peer review
The International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research (IJVTPR) is a scientific journal dedicated to vaccine theory and practice. It publishes original research and scholarly reviews, as well as book reviews and editorials. It is peer-reviewed, which ensures that its content is free of undisclosed influence.
Peer review is essential to the publication process, as it helps reduce the chance of publishing flawed research. It should be conducted by a panel of independent reviewers who are free of personal bias. Reviewers should take a conservative approach, assuming that the manuscript does not add new knowledge to the field. However, if the reviewers find robust evidence that disproves this conservative assumption, the manuscript will be published.
The International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research has accepted an article by Children’s Health Defense. Its Senior Editor, Christopher A. Shaw, founded the journal.
