About Journal of Tropical Diseases and Medicine

The Journal of Tropical Diseases and Medicine (JTMH) is a distinguished peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing knowledge in infectious diseases, parasitology, vector-borne illnesses, and tropical medicine. Our journal addresses critical health challenges affecting billions of people in tropical and subtropical regions, covering research from malaria and dengue fever to emerging infectious diseases and neglected tropical diseases that disproportionately impact underserved communities across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania.

JTMH brings together an international community of researchers, physicians, epidemiologists, and public health professionals committed to improving health outcomes in resource-limited settings. Our rigorous peer review process ensures published work meets the highest standards of scientific integrity and clinical relevance, covering vector biology, antimicrobial resistance, vaccine development, zoonotic disease transmission, travel medicine, and community intervention programs.

Research Scope

We publish comprehensive research on malaria epidemiology, dengue and arboviral diseases, tuberculosis in tropical settings, helminth infections, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, schistosomiasis, filariasis, trypanosomiasis, and emerging tropical pathogens. Our coverage extends to environmental and climatic factors affecting disease distribution, health system strengthening, and innovative diagnostic technologies for field deployment. We also welcome studies on drug discovery for neglected diseases, resistance mechanisms in tropical pathogens, and implementation science for disease control programs in endemic areas.

Why Join JTMH Membership

JTMH membership delivers exceptional value for researchers and institutions dedicated to tropical medicine advancement. Our comprehensive membership programs are specifically designed to support your entire publishing journey while providing significant cost savings and enhanced services that accelerate the global dissemination of your critical research findings. Members join an exclusive network of tropical disease specialists committed to reducing the burden of infectious diseases in endemic regions.

Individual Membership Plans

Individual membership is ideal for researchers, physicians, and public health professionals who require a cost-effective publishing solution that maximizes the impact of their tropical medicine research. Members can publish multiple articles with substantially waived or reduced processing charges during their membership period, enabling more frequent publication of important findings. Our individual plans are particularly valuable for early-career researchers developing their scientific profile and scientists working on endemic disease challenges in resource-limited settings. The savings on article processing charges can be redirected toward essential research activities, fieldwork expenses, and laboratory equipment needs.

Institutional Membership

Universities, research institutes, hospitals, and public health organizations can provide streamlined publishing access to all affiliated researchers while managing costs centrally. This option benefits institutions with strong tropical medicine programs and multiple active researchers conducting work in endemic disease regions worldwide.

Institutional membership eliminates individual researcher responsibility for article processing charges, simplifying administrative procedures and publication budgeting. Research teams can focus entirely on their scientific work knowing publication costs are covered under the institutional agreement, particularly beneficial for large collaborative projects.

Institutional members must designate an authorized representative to confirm manuscript affiliations and coordinate effectively with our membership team regarding benefit utilization. We provide comprehensive, detailed usage reports to help you track publication activity and budget allocation throughout your entire membership period.

Corporate and Industry Membership

Our corporate program serves pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, healthcare organizations, and medical device manufacturers engaged in tropical disease research and development. Members gain collaborative publishing opportunities, enhanced visibility within the tropical medicine community, and access to targeted research relevant to product development and clinical applications.

Corporate members receive an official Corporate Membership Certificate recognizing commitment to advancing tropical disease research. This tier also provides opportunities for sponsored research collaborations and priority access to published findings relevant to your development pipeline.
