About Nephrology Advances
Advancing kidney medicine through open access research publication.
Leading the Future of Kidney Research
Nephrology Advances is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to publishing exceptional research that transforms our understanding of kidney health and disease. We connect nephrologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals worldwide through innovative scholarship in kidney medicine.
Nephrology Advances exists to accelerate discoveries in kidney science and translate research findings into clinical practice that improves patient outcomes. We believe that groundbreaking nephrology research should be freely accessible to clinicians, researchers, and patients worldwide, without barriers that limit the reach and impact of important kidney medicine findings.
Our editorial team comprises internationally recognized nephrologists and kidney researchers committed to maintaining the highest standards of scientific rigor while providing constructive, developmental peer review that strengthens every published manuscript. We prioritize research that addresses the most pressing challenges in kidney disease, from prevention and early detection to innovative therapies and transplantation advances.
Expert Peer Review
Every manuscript receives rigorous evaluation by active nephrology clinicians and researchers who understand both the science and clinical implications of kidney research. Our reviewers provide detailed, constructive feedback that improves manuscript quality regardless of final publication decision.
Rapid Publication
We understand that timely research dissemination advances patient care. Our efficient editorial workflows deliver initial decisions within 2-3 weeks, with accepted manuscripts published within 4-6 weeks of final acceptance, ensuring your kidney research reaches the global nephrology community quickly.
Global Accessibility
Open access publication ensures your research is immediately available to nephrologists, dialysis centers, transplant programs, and researchers worldwide. No subscription barriers limit who can read, cite, and build upon your important kidney medicine findings.
Author Support
Our dedicated editorial team provides personalized support throughout the submission and publication process. From initial inquiry through final proofing, we work closely with authors to ensure their nephrology research achieves maximum impact and visibility.
Nephrology Advances embraces a philosophy of constructive scholarship that recognizes the value of rigorous peer review in strengthening research quality. We reject the notion that peer review should be adversarial; instead, our reviewers serve as collaborative partners helping authors present their kidney research most effectively.
Commitment to Excellence: We maintain unwavering commitment to scientific integrity, requiring adherence to established research ethics guidelines, transparent reporting of methods and results, and appropriate statistical analysis. Our editorial policies align with ICMJE recommendations and COPE guidelines for ethical publishing in medical research.
We particularly welcome research addressing health disparities in kidney disease, innovative approaches to chronic kidney disease management, advances in dialysis technology and transplantation, and translational studies bridging laboratory discoveries with clinical applications. Our global perspective ensures representation of diverse populations and healthcare contexts in published nephrology research.
Nephrology Advances serves a growing community of kidney medicine professionals committed to advancing renal health through collaborative research and knowledge sharing. Whether you are a clinical nephrologist, basic science researcher, epidemiologist, or healthcare professional caring for patients with kidney disease, our journal provides a platform for sharing discoveries that improve lives.
