Average time to first decision under 21 days. Efficient editorial workflow respects your time while maintaining rigorous standards.
Immediate Impact
Accepted articles published online within days. Open Access ensures your findings reach the global transplant community instantly.
Enhanced Visibility
Indexed in major databases. Social media promotion for selected articles. Article-level metrics track your real-world impact.
Author Support
Dedicated editorial team, language editing services, and responsive support throughout the publication journey.
Prepare your manuscript following our Author Guidelines. Submit through either portal below. Our editorial team will confirm receipt within 48 hours and initiate peer review promptly.
Children present unique transplant challenges distinct from adult medicine. JOT actively solicits manuscripts on pediatric-specific immunosuppression protocols, growth considerations post-transplant, adolescent medication adherence, and transition of care from pediatric to adult transplant services. We encourage reports on surgical adaptations for size-mismatched grafts and strategies minimizing corticosteroid exposure in developing bodies.
Transplant recipients face heightened vulnerability to opportunistic infections. We welcome research addressing CMV, EBV, BK virus management, emerging fungal pathogens, and antimicrobial stewardship in immunocompromised hosts. Vaccination protocols, microbiome influences on graft function, and COVID-19 implications for transplant populations represent priority areas.
Living donation expands the donor pool while offering superior graft quality. JOT encourages submissions addressing donor safety protocols, long-term donor outcomes, paired kidney exchange optimization, ethical considerations, and psychosocial support for living donors and recipients.
Systematic approaches to transplant center performance, wait list management, organ allocation equity, and post-transplant care standardization represent priority areas. We welcome quality improvement studies, registry analyses, and implementation science manuscripts that translate evidence into practice improvements.
Machine learning and AI are transforming transplant care from donor-recipient matching algorithms to predictive models for graft survival and rejection risk. We welcome manuscripts exploring AI applications in transplant pathology, allocation optimization, clinical decision support, and real-time monitoring of immunosuppression adequacy.
Invited editorials provide expert context for published research. We welcome unsolicited commentary proposals addressing current controversies and emerging practice changes in transplantation.
