Aim & Scope
The aim of the Korean Journal of Transplantation (KJT) is to publish articles of up-to-date and high-quality in organ and tissue transplantation and the related clinical and basic sciences that can contribute to saving lives and curing diseases in patients needing transplantation. The journal pursues its advancement through original/special articles, reviews, case reports, study protocols, editorials, and correspondences. The journal is concerned not only with clinicians and scientists in transplantation but also with those in other fields who are interested in transplantation. The scope covers transplantation internationally as a separate discipline. This includes but does not limit to organ and tissue donation and preservation; tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging; immune recognition, regulation, effector mechanisms, and opportunities for induction of tolerance; histocompatibility; drugs and pharmacology relevant to transplantation; graft survival and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure; clinical trials and population analyses; transplant complications; xenotransplantation; and ethical and societal issues. Also included are the relevant sciences of medicine, surgery, pediatrics, cell biology, and infectious diseases. The journal includes thoracic transplantation (heart, lung), abdominal transplantation (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), transplantation of tissues, and related topics. The KJT serves as a platform for debate and reassessment, a trigger of innovation, and a major pedestal for promoting understanding, improving outcomes, and advancing knowledge and technique in this dynamic area. Published quarterly, the KJT furnishes an indispensable resource for researchers and clinicians around the world.
