Call for Papers

Open calls for high impact research in tissue repair, regeneration, and translational medicine.

Submit your latest advances in regenerative science

Journal of Tissue Repair and Regeneration (JTRR) invites submissions that advance tissue healing, biomaterials, and regenerative therapies.

We welcome original research, translational studies, and clinically relevant innovations that improve outcomes for patients and healthcare systems.

Priority themes for upcoming issues

Wound healing biology

Mechanisms and interventions that accelerate healing and reduce scarring.

Biomaterials and scaffolds

Design, characterization, and clinical translation of novel matrices.

Stem cell and cell therapies

Cell based approaches for tissue repair and regeneration.

Immunomodulation

Strategies that control inflammation to enable durable repair.

Organoids and tissue models

In vitro systems that predict repair responses or drug effects.

Biofabrication and 3D printing

Manufacturing platforms for functional tissue constructs.

Vascularization strategies

Approaches that improve perfusion and integration of grafts.

Regenerative rehabilitation

Therapies that combine repair with functional recovery.

Clinical trials and outcomes

Clinical evaluation of tissue repair strategies and devices.

Comparative effectiveness

Head to head comparisons of repair strategies in practice.

Translational focus areas

Device development

Evaluation of surgical or implantable devices for repair.

Drug delivery

Localized delivery systems that improve repair outcomes.

Diagnostics

Imaging or biomarkers that track repair progress.

Rehabilitation protocols

Evidence based protocols linking repair to function.

Health economics

Cost effectiveness analyses for regenerative therapies.

Regulatory science

Pathways that support approval and adoption.

Ethical frameworks

Policy or ethics analyses linked to regenerative interventions.

Implementation science

Real world adoption and barriers to care.

Manuscript types we encourage

Original research

Detailed protocols enabling replication and scale up.

Data reports

Curated datasets with clear reuse value.

Clinical case series

Well documented clinical experiences that inform practice.

Brief communications

Concise updates on early stage innovations.

Perspective pieces

Evidence informed viewpoints on emerging topics.

What makes a strong submission
  • Clear statement of novelty and clinical relevance.
  • Transparent methodology with defined controls and endpoints.
  • Evidence that results are reproducible and well validated.
  • High quality figures with clear legends and scale bars.
  • Data availability statement describing access or restrictions.
  • Ethics approvals and consent documented where required.
  • Balanced discussion of limitations and future work.
  • Comprehensive references to prior tissue repair literature.
  • Structured abstract and keywords aligned with tissue repair terminology.
  • Suggested reviewers with appropriate expertise.
Operational submission flow

Initial screening

Editors evaluate scope fit and technical completeness.

Peer review

Independent reviewers assess rigor and translational impact.

Decision letter

Editors summarize reviewer input with clear next steps.

Revision

Authors respond to comments with a point by point letter.

Acceptance checks

Final ethics and data disclosures are verified.

Production

Copyediting, proofs, and final metadata preparation.

Post publication updates

Corrections and updates maintain integrity.

Visibility support

Metadata distribution improves discoverability.

Operational submission checklist
  • Confirm the manuscript matches the correct article type.
  • Prepare a cover letter that explains scope fit and novelty.
  • Check that all figures are high resolution and labeled.
  • Provide ethics approvals, consent statements, and trial registration numbers.
  • Upload supplementary files and data repository links.
  • Disclose conflicts of interest and funding sources.
  • Ensure all author affiliations are accurate.
  • Include a data availability statement with access conditions.
How to position your manuscript

Explain how your work advances tissue repair practice or knowledge beyond existing literature. Clear statements of translational relevance help editors assign the right reviewers.

If your study is interdisciplinary, highlight the tissue repair outcomes and describe how the cross disciplinary approach improves clinical or biological understanding.

Use keywords that reflect both the biological mechanism and the clinical application to improve discoverability and peer review match.

Special issue participation

Special issues highlight emerging themes and are managed by guest editors in partnership with the JTRR editorial team. If your work aligns with a theme, indicate the special issue name in your cover letter.

If your manuscript spans multiple themes, prioritize the main focus area so editors can assign appropriate reviewers.

Proposals for future special issues are welcomed year round with a clear scope and plan.

Ethics and data readiness

Ensure that ethical approvals, consent documentation, and animal welfare statements are included before submission. Missing approvals can delay peer review.

Data and code should be deposited in appropriate repositories when possible. Provide access links or controlled access instructions in the data availability statement.

Questions about scope fit or submission readiness can be sent to [email protected].

We can confirm whether your topic aligns with current calls.

JTRR values methodological rigor, translational relevance, and clear reporting. We look forward to your submissions.
