Information for JSIR members

(Information updated on 22 March 2023)

The Japanese Society of Inflammation and Regeneration covers the article-processing charge (APC) for the papers submitted by the member of the society and for the papers invited by the journal. To receive this benefit, the JSIR members and invited authors must claim the APC coverage at the time of editorial acceptance of their manuscript.

As from 22 March 2023, due to system change, authors are no longer requested to submit Membership Account Code to claim coverage of APC for society members/invited authors during the process of making new manuscript submission. Instead, members/invited authors are able to request APC coverage at editorial acceptance. 

See below for further information:

- Changes in manuscript submission *(in Japanese)
- To request APC coverage for JSIR members 

For questions, please contact the Society office.

Aims and scope

Inflammation and Regeneration provides an open access forum which covers a wide range of scientific topics in the research field of basic and clinical regenerative medicine. Inflammation research and regenerative medicine are tightly linked research areas in life sciences and their significance in translational research is rapidly increasing. From this aspect, this journal encourages the submission of manuscripts whose scope bridges these fields of research.
