About the International Journal of Translational Research
The International Journal of Translational Research (IJTR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes translational research from mechanism to clinical application, with a biological or mechanistic basis.
From mechanism to clinical application
IJTR serves laboratory scientists, clinical investigators, biomarker and drug-development researchers, and clinicians who apply their findings.
IJTR publishes work that moves a biological or mechanistic finding toward clinical application, from disease mechanisms and experimental models to biomarkers, therapeutics and clinical studies. It considers laboratory, translational and clinical research that rests on a biological or mechanistic basis.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound translational research, to connect laboratory findings with clinical care and public health, and to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them.
The journal welcomes contributions from the biomedical, clinical, pharmacological, laboratory, data and computational sciences that address a translational question. The research areas are listed on the Aims and Scope page.
