I am the editorial assistant for the American Journal of Transplantation, so I don't feel quite comfortable posting this article due to COI issues. I've tried to cite secondary sources; however, most of the information was gathered from front matter of the journal itself or the website. I've tried to omit claims that cannot be backed up by a secondary source. I will accept any edits deemed necessary by consensus.
The existing paragraph will remain.
Journal Scope (heading)
The American Journal of Transplantation is directed at scientists and clinicians in the broad field of
transplantation including
organ and tissue donation;
drugs,
pharmacology, and
immunology as they relate to transplantation; graft survival; complications in transplantation;
xenotransplantation; basic science as it relates to transplants; and ethical issues. The journal publishes articles across a wide range of organs and tissues, including thoracic (
heart,
lung), abdominal (
intestine,
kidney,
liver,
pancreas), vascularized composite allografts (
face,
hand),
cells (
hepatocytes,
pancreatic islets), and related topics. The journal’s Aims and Scope say it “serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science in this dynamic field.”Cite error: The <ref>
tag has too many names (see the
help page).
History (heading) The journal was founded in 2001 with Dr. Philip F. Halloran of the University of Alberta, Canada, serving as its first Editor-in-Chief [1]. In 2011, Dr. Allan D. Kirk succeeded Dr. Halloran as Editor-in-Chief, and the journal moved its offices to Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. [2] Dr. Halloran holds the title Editor Emeritus [3].
Four times a year since 2011, AJT has published a shorter, Czech-language version of the journal, which contains five articles originally published in the AJT. The local editor is Dr. Ondrej Viklický of the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague, Czech Republic. [4]
The journal publishes one or two supplements per year on specialized topics within the field of transplantation. Supplements are peer-reviewed. Past special-topic supplements have included "Cytomegalovirus and Human Herpesvirus Infections in Solid Organ Transplant" [5] and "Focus on Small Bowel Transplantation: Selected Works from the XII International Small Bowel Transplant Symposium." [6]
AJT also publishes a Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) supplement, a collection of data about transplant patients [7], each year. Another annual supplement is the collected abstracts submitted to the American Transplant Congress (ATC); the abstracts are peer-reviewed [8]. AJT’s final annual supplement is the ASTS’ State of the Art Winter Symposium supplement, which is published in January and contains the schedule, abstracts, and other information about the Symposium. To date, AJT has published three Infectious Disease Guidelines supplements (2004, 2009, and 2013). Again, articles in the Infectious Disease Guidelines are peer-reviewed, and new articles to the supplement are also reviewed by all the supplement’s editors [9].
Each month, AJT offers continuing medical education in the form of its Images in Transplantation feature. The article is a case-based approach that allows surgeons “the opportunity to explore images illustrating a clinical problem.” [10]
