Journal Guide

Clinical and Translational Medicine (CTM) is a peer-review open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen and aims to play an important and recognized role in reporting knowledge that contributes towards the understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease. CTM also aims to foster a predictive, preventive, personalized and practical approach towards precision medicine, leading to improved patient prognosis. The journal provides a forum for exchange of ideas between basic and clinical scientists on molecular and cellular mechanisms of disease and potential therapies.Clinical and Translational Medicine is a truly international, peer-reviewed, and open access journal devoted to the publication of articles on scientific and clinical investigations which will promote and accelerate the translation of preclinical research to a clinical application and the communication between basic and clinical scientists. CTM emphasizes clinical potential and application of new biotechnologies, biomaterials, bioengineering, disease-specific biomarkers, cellular and molecular medicine, omics science, bioinformatics, applied immunology, molecular imaging, drug discovery and development, and regulation and health policy. CTM will specially focus on the bench to bedside approach, favouring studies and clinical observations which generate hypotheses and questions relevant to the patient and disease and guide the investigations of cellular and molecular medicine. CTM welcomes submissions from companies, clinicians, scientists and policy makers. 

Clinical and Translational Neuroscience (CTN) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. The journal focuses on translating or developing basic neuroscience research into novel clinical neuroscience applications and therapies. We encourage basic and clinical scientists to publish their results in such detail that they can readily be reproduced. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers.

Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis or prediction of treatment response, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, as well as development of new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by both the educational series and research articles. A broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of di
