International Journal of Translational Medical Research and Public Health
The International Journal of Translational Medical Research and Public Health (IJTMRPH) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original research, review articles, field studies, and commentaries on all aspects of applied or translational medical research, global and public health.
The journal publishes papers that can be applied to global and public health practices, programs, and policies. The journal is passionate about papers that contribute to local and international efforts to improve the health of populations and save lives around the world.
IJTMRPH welcomes manuscripts that discuss application of research results to global and public health programs, policies and practices. IJTMRPH is a development-oriented journal; therefore submissions from authors in, or research on, health issues affecting developing (low and middle-income) countries are particularly welcomed and will receive special consideration.
Submission and Communication
The journal was founded by researchers for researchers. So, we recognize the need for rapid dissemination of high-quality papers. The journal aims, on average, to provide authors with initial acknowledgement and feedback within 6 weeks from the date of submission. Depending on a host of factors including the quality of original submission, currency of the topic, novelty, number of revisions recommended, journal's interest, and how responsive authors are to editorial communication, the journal aspires to publish revised and accepted papers, on average, between 3-4 months from the date of submission. Most importantly, the journal does not and shall not make any guarantees of manuscript acceptance within any timeline.
Scope & Niche
IJTMRPH fills a gap in the slew of existing open-access journals. For several decades, leading scientists, researchers, and institutions across the world have instigated ground-breaking innovations and discoveries to prevent disease, mitigate disability, prolong quality lives, and improve health outcomes. Sadly, very few of these innovations are actually translated into life-saving therapies for individual, public and population health. For example, Dr. Francis Collins, the Director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) once told the U.S. Congress that ..."we have witnessed unprecedented advances in basic and fundamental science; however, the translation of research discoveries into treatments and interventions that improve human health in many instances is a slow and failure-prone process." IJTMRPH provides a platform for the exchange and dissemination of studies with the greatest potential for translation into interventions to improve population and public health. Incremental contributions in the form of diverse article types are welcome. The journal publishes articles in the broad areas of translational and applied medical research and public health.
