Transplant International‘s Editorial Taskforce is issuing an Open Call for authors to submit reviews addressing hot topics in the field of transplant ethics, donation and policies. Proposals must focus on a new and upcoming field in donation and transplantation, encourage debate and be thought-provoking. All submissions undergo anonymous peer review and are subject to editorial processes.

Manuscripts are to be submitted through the Transplant International submission platform and must adhere to the Review Manuscript criteria:
• Word Limit: 4000 words including abstract but excluding references, tables and figures;
• Abstract: 200 words maximum
• References: No limit

Accepted articles are subjected to Article Processing Charges. Publication fees can be found here, while our existing Institutional Agreements can be found here.

The instructions for authors can be found here.

If appropriate, papers other than reviews can be submitted, such as opinion papers ("Point of View"), Commentaries on recent publications or breaking news ("News and Views").

We hope you will be able to support this call and promulgate it within your group. A contribution will then be encouraged within 90 days.
If you give the editorial team suggestions for topics and authors, they will review these and the proposed authors may receive, within a few days, an e-mail from the editorial office instructing them how to submit a manuscript.

Queries about this Call can be sent to Dr. Frederike Ambagtsheer (j.ambagtsheer@erasmusmc.nl).
