In the interest of facilitating patient care and advancing science, and ensuring that accurate knowledge and experience is available to all during this current time of crisis, AJT has been expediting review of all papers dealing with COVID-19, as well as making them free to access for all.
We are interested in understanding the community’s experience in transplantation with COVID-19. All papers submitted to AJT undergo peer review, and case reports must be sufficiently detailed, thorough and of high quality to be accepted. Case reports must have an abstract and are limited to 2000 words and 20 references. All manuscripts must be submitted online at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ajt.
Read the latest in COVID-19 in the transplant network at Pediatric Transplantation, Xenotransplantation, Transplantation Infectious Disease, and Clinical Transplantation.
