JEV considers research articles as well as review articles, short communications, technical notes, hypotheses, position papers, editorials, and letters to the editor.[2] The journal has published the current consensus guidelines for the EV field, the Minimal Information for Studies of EVs (MISEV2023),[3] building on previous guidelines released in 2018 and 2014 ("MISEV2018"[4] and "MISEV2014"[5]).
Notable articles
The journal has published numerous influential articles. These include position papers of ISEV as well as the periodically updated consensus guidelines for the EV field, which are based on expert opinion and crowdsourcing.[6] Several key articles were summarized in an editorial in 2019 by the then-outgoing editors-in-chief.[7]
The current consensus guidelines for the EV field, known as "MISEV2023", were prepared with input from more than 1050 co-authors.[6] The corresponding authors are Joshua Welsh, Deborah Goberdhan, Lorraine O'Driscoll, Clotilde Théry and Kenneth Witwer.[3]
Previous versions of MISEV are MISEV2018, with nearly 400 co-authors,[4] and MISEV2014.[5]
The first position paper of ISEV was published in 2013, following a workshop on RNA and EVs that was held in New York City in October 2012.[8]
A position paper on therapeutic applications of EVs was published in 2015.[9]
Considerations for studies of RNA and EVs were recommended in 2017 following a Workshop in Utrecht, The Netherlands[11]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, ISEV and the International Society for Gene and Cell Therapy released a statement on EV therapies for COVID-19.[12]
The nomenclature of EVs was addressed in "Extracellular vesicles or exosomes? On primacy, precision, and popularity influencing a choice of nomenclature".[13]
History
JEV was established in April 2012, soon after the founding of ISEV. The journal was published by Co-Action Publishing for more than four years.[7]Taylor & Francis acquired Co-Action in 2016 and published the journal until 2020. Wiley is the current publisher.[14]
