Ongoing Special Issues
Current open calls for focused nephrology research collections addressing emerging topics in kidney medicine and renal science.
Contribute to Focused Collections
Special issue collections provide exceptional opportunities for nephrology researchers to contribute focused research advancing specific kidney medicine topics. These curated collections attract significant readership and enhanced citation attention from specialists in the targeted research areas. The Journal of Nephrology Advances currently has several special issues open for focused manuscript submissions. These focused collections address timely topics in kidney medicine, providing opportunities to contribute your research alongside other leading work in the nephrology field and enhance visibility through thematic association with related kidney research.
Diabetic Kidney Disease: Novel Therapeutic Approaches
This special issue explores emerging treatments for diabetic nephropathy including SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, and novel therapeutic targets. We welcome clinical trial results, mechanistic studies, and translational research addressing diabetic kidney disease progression and treatment optimization for improved patient outcomes.
Acute Kidney Injury: Prevention and Recovery
Focused collection addressing AKI biomarkers, preventive strategies, and recovery mechanisms. Topics include early detection approaches, nephrotoxic drug management, contrast-induced nephropathy prevention, and factors influencing renal recovery after acute kidney injury episodes in clinical settings.
Advances in Home Dialysis Therapies
Special issue highlighting innovations in peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis. We seek research on patient training approaches, technology improvements, remote monitoring systems, and outcome comparisons between home and facility-based kidney replacement therapy modalities.
Glomerular Diseases: Pathogenesis and Treatment
Collection examining glomerulonephritis mechanisms and emerging treatments including complement inhibitors, targeted immunotherapies, and precision medicine approaches. Clinical outcomes research and pathology studies addressing primary and secondary glomerular diseases are welcomed.
Pediatric Nephrology: Congenital and Acquired Disorders
Special focus on childhood kidney diseases including congenital anomalies, genetic disorders, childhood glomerular diseases, and pediatric-specific management challenges. Topics include transition care, growth considerations, and long-term outcome studies, quality of life research, and family impact investigations in pediatric kidney disease patients.
Authors interested in contributing to any ongoing special issue should review the specific call for papers and submission requirements. All special issue submissions undergo rigorous peer review meeting journal quality standards. Contact the guest editors or editorial office for questions about scope or suitability before manuscript preparation.
Submission process and timeline: Authors interested in contributing should act promptly as deadlines apply. Submit manuscripts through the standard online submission system, indicating the target special issue during submission. Include a cover letter explaining relevance to the special issue theme. Please review individual special issue descriptions for specific submission requirements and deadlines. Guest editors carefully review all submissions for thematic fit and coordinate peer review with qualified nephrology reviewers.
