Call For Papers
Share high impact research that advances tropical medicine, global health equity, and evidence based disease control.
Scope and Priorities
Journal of Tropical Diseases and Medicine (JTMH) is a peer reviewed open access journal focused on tropical medicine, infectious diseases, parasitology, vector borne illnesses, and health systems in endemic regions. We publish clinically relevant, methodologically rigorous research that supports prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for populations most affected by tropical diseases. The journal prioritizes work with measurable impact on patient outcomes, public health practice, and policy in endemic regions.
We welcome studies on malaria, dengue, arboviruses, helminth and protozoal infections, tuberculosis in tropical settings, zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, vaccine development, and implementation science. Our scope includes laboratory investigations, clinical trials, public health programs, and One Health studies. We also welcome research on diagnostics, clinical trials, outbreak response, and community health strategies.
Priority Topics
Vector Borne Diseases
Malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and vector control innovations.
Neglected Tropical Diseases
Research on helminths, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, and filarial infections.
Diagnostics and Surveillance
Field ready diagnostics, epidemiology, and data driven surveillance models.
Health Systems
Implementation science, access to care, and community intervention outcomes.
Why Publish in JTMH
Our editorial team supports rapid, fair peer review and strong visibility for accepted manuscripts. We work closely with authors to elevate scientific clarity while preserving the integrity of the research.
Open access publication ensures your findings are immediately available to clinicians, public health leaders, and researchers in the regions where they are needed most.

Special Collections
JTMH periodically organizes thematic collections focused on emerging outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance, and regional disease control programs. Submissions aligned with these themes receive focused editorial attention.
What Makes a Strong Submission
We look for manuscripts with clear study objectives, robust methodology, and transparent reporting. Strong submissions explain how the work advances tropical disease prevention, diagnosis, or treatment, and they place findings in a broader public health context.
Use reporting guidelines that match your study design and provide complete data availability statements. These practices improve review efficiency and support reproducibility for readers and future research teams.
Audience and Impact
JTMH reaches clinicians, epidemiologists, policy makers, and researchers who rely on evidence to guide practice in endemic regions. Open access publication enables immediate use of your results in clinical protocols, training programs, and health system planning.
Manuscripts that emphasize implementation insights, regional relevance, or translational impact are especially valuable to our readership and often attract broader engagement and citations.
Editorial Support
Our editorial team works with authors to ensure manuscripts are complete and compliant before review. This includes checks for ethics statements, conflict disclosures, and data transparency to prevent avoidable delays.
If revisions are requested, we encourage clear point by point responses and updated files that reflect all changes. This collaborative approach helps authors move efficiently toward publication.
Publication Timeline
JTMH prioritizes efficient review without sacrificing quality. Most submissions move through initial screening quickly, followed by expert review and an editorial decision supported by clear guidance.
Authors can improve timelines by submitting complete files and responding promptly to reviewer comments. Our team supports resubmission and revision to keep the process clear and predictable. Suggested reviewer names are welcome to improve matching.
Open Access Advantage
Open access ensures that your results are immediately available to clinicians and public health teams in the regions most affected by tropical diseases. This access supports evidence based decision making and broader collaboration.
Publishing with JTMH connects your research to global discovery systems and promotes visibility across academic, clinical, and policy networks. This visibility supports collaboration across regions and accelerates translation into practice across disciplines and impact.
Collaborative and Regional Research
We encourage submissions that include partnerships with local health systems, field researchers, or community based organizations. Such collaborations strengthen relevance and improve translation of findings into practice.
Regional studies that document program outcomes, implementation barriers, or system innovations are valuable to readers working in similar settings and help build a shared evidence base.
Multidisciplinary studies that integrate epidemiology, clinical care, and social determinants are also welcome. These perspectives help reveal the full context of disease burden and guide sustainable interventions.
