Journal Guide

The aim of the journal is to serve as a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the form of original and high quality papers in the field of transplantation. Clinical and experimental studies, as well as editorials, letters to the editors, and, occasionally, reviews on the biology, physiology, and immunology of transplantation of tissues and organs, are published. Publishing time for the latter is approximately six months, provided major revisions are not needed. The journal is published in yearly volumes, each volume containing twelve issues. Papers submitted to the journal are subject to peer review.

The most cited and influential journal in the field (with over 26,000 citations a year), Transplantation174; is published twice monthly and provides extensive coverage of the most important advances in transplantation. Using an electronic on-line submission and peer review tracking system, Transplantation174; is committed to rapid review and publication. The average time to first decision is now less than 21 days. Time to publication of accepted manuscripts continues to be shortened, with the Editorial team committed to a goal of 3 months from acceptance to publication.Consistently ranked among the top journals in Transplantation, Surgery and Immunology (2008 Journal Citation Reports), the journal covers areas including:Cell therapy and islet transplantationClinical transplantationExperimental transplantationImmunobiology and genomicsXenotransplantationExpert researchers and clinicians from around the world contribute original Articles, Overviews and Brief Reports in every pertinent specialty. Forums provide in-depth discussion of exciting developments and controversies in the field. Rapid Communications bring attention to cutting edge research.Issues also contain Analyses and Commentaries, Letters to the Editor and Announcements.

Aims and Scope:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.

The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.

Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the http://www.journals.elsevier.com/transplantation-proceedings/editorial-board/Editorial Board.

Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences.

• Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports.
• Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations.
• Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities.

• Fast and fair peer review
• Rapid, article-based publication
• Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research
• Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct
• Immediately citable using the article DOI

As an online only, open access journal, Authors will be required to pay the Article Processing Charge (APC) of $1,800 USD. All articles submitted to Transplantation Reports undergo extensive review by our international team. Articles accepted for publication will appear online within (3) business days on http://www.sciencedirect.com/Science Direct and at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/transplantation-reports/www.journal.elsevier.com/transplantation-reports

Transplantation Research is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that publishes articles on a broad range of topics in the discipline of transplantation. The content of this journal is directed towards both basic scientists and clinicians in this field, with the aim of informing all transplantation researchers and those interested in transplantation. Among the research topics included in Transplantation Research are:   organ preservation ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation histocompatibility pharmacological/experimental immunosuppression immune recognition - regulation, and tolerance induction strategies stem cell research for tissue regeneration/repair and immune regulation early-stage clinical trials and clinical trial protocols innovative method protocols complications of transplantation, including graft dysfunction, tissue repair, infections and posttransplant malignancy biomarker investigation organ donation and other ethical issues xenotransplantation. Types of transplantation primarily included are thoracic (heart and lung), abdominal (kidney, liver and pancreas) and tissue (islets, composite tissue). Transplantation Research emphasizes the publication of experimental research and pilot clinical trials that introduce new ideas and concepts to the field of transplantation.Transplantation Research is a forum for the quick release of cutting-edge experimental and clinical research in transplantation. Introduction of novel experimental concepts and early stage trial results are welcomed for publication and debate. As an open access online journal, Transplantation Research is in an optimal position to publish data and ideas with the least delay and with the greatest, exposure due to lack of restrictions regarding access. This represents a major new platform for transplantation researchers.
