Mechanism to Outcome
Studies should connect pathway level findings with clear biological or clinical implications.
Call for Papers
Call for High Impact Inflammation and Immune Regulation Research
Submit clinically relevant, methodologically strong studies with translational decision value.
IJIR invites original research, reviews, and methods manuscripts focused on inflammatory mechanisms, biomarker discovery, targeted interventions, and clinical outcome optimization. We prioritize studies that combine mechanistic depth with practical interpretation, helping readers move from findings to decisions in clinical, public health, and therapeutic development contexts.

Research Areas in Focus
Current call priorities center on measurable inflammation outcomes, reproducible methods, and evidence communication suitable for cross discipline evaluation.
Reproducible Methods
Methods must be detailed enough to support independent verification and practical reuse.
Transparent Interpretation
Claims should remain proportional to study design and clearly acknowledge relevant limitations.
How to Strengthen Scope Fit and Review Performance
Well positioned submissions reduce triage delay, support reviewer alignment, and improve acceptance probability under this call cycle.
Question Positioning
State why the research question matters now for inflammation science and which decision pathway it informs. For this requirement, clear documentation reduces ambiguity in methodological interpretation and protects quality without adding unnecessary delay.
Endpoint Clarity
Define primary and secondary outcomes with explicit rationale so reviewer expectations remain aligned from the first read. In this requirement, stronger reporting discipline prevents avoidable back and forth during technical clarification and helps keep reviewer feedback specific and actionable.
Data Transparency
Include repository links or access statements that explain availability limits and request pathways when restrictions apply. When this requirement is specified precisely, communication quality improves across authors, reviewers, and editors, and accepted manuscripts reach publication with fewer corrections.
Statistical Framing
Report effect size and confidence context, not only significance thresholds, to support credible interpretation. Detailed treatment of this requirement gives reviewers a stable basis for evidence checks while preserving scientific transparency in the published record.
Scope Language
Use consistent terminology for immune pathways, biomarkers, and intervention types to reduce ambiguity during review. Operational clarity in this requirement supports fair comparison across competing submissions while reinforcing trust in editorial independence and rigor.
Figure Readability
Ensure legends, units, and abbreviations are complete so evaluators can confirm claims without repeated backtracking. A robust description of this requirement strengthens confidence in claims, limits, and endpoint mapping and supports predictable workflow timing for authors and editors.
Declaration Completeness
Conflict, funding, and ethics statements should be complete on first submission to prevent avoidable screening holds. Well structured handling of this requirement helps editors triage scope and rigor faster while improving revision efficiency and production readiness.
Revision Efficiency
Point by point response structure improves second round speed and helps editors close decisions faster. High quality framing of this requirement improves alignment between reviewer comments and revision priorities and shortens the path to a defensible final decision.
Cross Discipline Appeal
Explain practical relevance for immunology, rheumatology, and translational audiences to increase post publication reach. Consistent language around this requirement improves consistency across first round and re review decisions while maintaining fairness across different manuscript types.
Editorial Readiness
A coherent abstract, clean references, and metadata consistency are major predictors of smooth workflow progression. A transparent approach to this requirement keeps decision rationale traceable at each handling stage and improves the reliability of downstream indexing signals.
Discovery Performance
Keyword precision and summary clarity improve how quickly your article is found after publication. For this requirement, clear documentation reduces ambiguity in methodological interpretation and protects quality without adding unnecessary delay.
Decision Traceability
Consistent scientific reporting, metadata precision, and communication discipline improve editorial efficiency and long term discoverability. In this requirement, stronger reporting discipline prevents avoidable back and forth during technical clarification and helps keep reviewer feedback specific and actionable.
Additional Practical Guidance for Call For Papers
The points below add operational detail for scope fit and call responsiveness, helping authors, reviewers, and editors keep decisions consistent from first screening to final publication.
Revision Strategy
Revision Strategy within scope fit and call responsiveness gives editors a clearer basis for triage and reviewer assignment. This usually reduces clarification loops, improves decision confidence, and protects publication timelines without compromising scientific rigor.
Metadata Accuracy
Strong Metadata Accuracy practices in scope fit and call responsiveness make scientific claims easier to verify during peer review. Early adoption of this control strengthens communication quality between authors, reviewers, and editors and lowers the risk of post-acceptance corrections.
Communication Precision
Consistent Communication Precision standards across scope fit and call responsiveness reduce ambiguity when manuscripts move between handling stages. As a result, authors receive clearer guidance, editors close decisions with less rework, and final records remain stronger for indexing and citation use.
Compliance Traceability
Documented Compliance Traceability controls in scope fit and call responsiveness improve comparability across submissions and revision rounds. When teams apply this early, reviewer comments become more specific, revision requests are easier to action, and production handoff has fewer compliance surprises.
The strongest call submissions link mechanistic insight with actionable clinical or translational interpretation in one coherent narrative.
