As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
COVID-19 and impact on peer review
Call for Papers: Special issue on “COVID-19: its pathogenetic mechanisms and potential therapeutics”
The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in crisis on human health across the world. Considering its urgency and scale of impact, Inflammation and Regeneration (I&R) opens a call for submissions reporting on-going medical research in wide-range of topics related to COVID-19, in the form of Original Articles, Review articles or Opinion papers.

Archival content
Inflammation and Regeneration was founded in 1980 and transferred to BioMed Central in 2016. Articles published in the journal between 2006 and 2015 are fully accessible from the following link.
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.
Article-processing charges
Authors publishing in Inflammation and Regeneration can request a discount on the journal’s article-processing charge (APC) that is payable upon editorial acceptance of articles. The discount must be requested during the article submission process, by entering a code that can be obtained from the Japanese Society of Inflammation and Regeneration. The discounted APC is €500 for non-commissioned articles submitted after 1 January 2018. The APCs of commissioned articles are covered by the Society, so authors do not need to pay the APC.
Indexing
We are pleased to announce that all articles published after 2016 in Inflammation and Regeneration are included in PubMed, PubMed Central and DOAJ.
