About the Journal
The International Journal of Tropical Medicines is a peer-reviewed open-access journal launched in 2024 that focuses on research and advancements in the field of tropical medicine. The journal aims to publish high-quality, original research papers, review articles, and case reports on all aspects of tropical medicine.
The scope of the journal also includes interdisciplinary research that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical research in tropical medicine, as well as research on the social, economic, and environmental determinants of tropical diseases. The journal welcomes submissions from researchers, academics, clinicians, and public health practitioners from around the world. The International Journal of Tropical Medicines aims to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas in tropical medicine and to contribute to the improvement of health outcomes in tropical regions worldwide.
