JTMH is committed to providing authors with a streamlined, efficient publication experience while maintaining the highest standards of scientific rigor. Our editorial team works diligently to ensure rapid review and publication without compromising quality.
1. Manuscript Preparation
Authors should carefully review our comprehensive Instructions for Authors, which provide detailed guidance on formatting, citation style, ethical requirements, and manuscript structure. Proper preparation accelerates the review process and increases acceptance likelihood.
2. Manuscript Submission
Submit your work through our convenient Manuscript Zone portal, via the online submission form, or directly by email. All submissions receive immediate acknowledgment and tracking capabilities.
3. Editorial Assessment and Peer Review
Manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening to verify scope alignment and compliance with submission guidelines. Qualifying manuscripts are assigned to expert reviewers who evaluate scientific merit, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field through our thorough peer review process.
4. Revision and Final Decision
Authors receive detailed reviewer feedback with clear revision guidance. The editorial team provides supportive, constructive oversight throughout the revision process, ensuring authors can address concerns effectively while maintaining scientific integrity.
5. Publication and Dissemination
Accepted articles are rapidly processed for online publication. Our open access model ensures immediate global availability, maximizing the impact and reach of your research within the tropical medicine community and beyond.
JTMH operates under a gold open access publishing model, ensuring that all published research is freely available to readers worldwide without subscription barriers. This approach maximizes the global dissemination of tropical medicine knowledge, particularly benefiting researchers and healthcare professionals in resource-limited settings where many tropical diseases are endemic.
To sustain high-quality publication services, peer review operations, and technical infrastructure, JTMH applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon manuscript acceptance. This fee covers editorial management, peer review coordination, copyediting, formatting, DOI assignment, archiving, and promotional activities. We are committed to ensuring financial constraints do not prevent the publication of high-quality research and offer waiver considerations for authors from low-income countries and early-career researchers facing genuine hardship.
JTMH's editorial board comprises internationally recognized experts representing diverse geographical regions and specialized areas within tropical medicine. Our editors bring extensive research expertise, clinical experience, and deep understanding of the challenges facing tropical disease research and control efforts.
