As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
COVID-19 and impact on peer review
Featured Research: Better determining the role of TNF-α in chronic spontaneous urticaria
A new study investigates the important but unclear role of TNF-α in chronic spontaneous urticaria, confirming CSU is associated with activation of the TNF-α signalling pathway but crucially not the sFas/FasL system suggesting it is the pro-inflammatory function of TNF-α at play in CSU.

Celebrating 10 years of open access
Highlighting the key milestones and achievements in Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology, this timeline takes a journey of the past 10 open access years.
From the most mentioned research article to the latest practical guides in allergy and immunology in Canada, this infographic celebrates the impact of the journal's content from 2009-2019. With nearly 6,000 online mentions, and a monthly average of 70,000 accesses and downloads, AACI continues to be a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions within the allergy and clinical immunology research community for the next 10 years and beyond.

About the CSACI
AACI is the official journal of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI). The CSACI is the largest national professional medical specialty organization in Canada representing allergists, asthma specialists, clinical immunologists, allied health professionals and others with a special interest in the research and treatment of allergic diseases.
The CSACI was founded in 1945 to fulfill the following goals: improving the standards of teaching and the practice of allergy and clinical immunology; fostering co-operation between those engaged in the study and practice of allergy and clinical immunology; encourage research in the field of allergy and clinical immunology.
The CSACI represents over 475 (Canadian and international) members who are from all parts of the country including rural areas, cities, community hospitals and academic university teaching centres. The CSACI remains committed to supporting allergists and clinical immunologists in maintaining the pre-eminence of both research and education in Canada. Moving forward, the CSACI will support these aims to ensure that high quality health care is available to all our patients throughout our communities.
