Translational Research

Aims & Scope

Translational Research (formerly The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine) delivers original investigations in the broad fields of laboratory, clinical, and public health research.

Published monthly since 1915, it keeps readers up-to-date on significant biomedical research from all subspecialties of medicine.

Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary in scope, it aims to expedite the translation of scientific discovery into new or improved standards of care and promotes a wide-ranging exchange between basic, preclinical, clinical, epidemiologic, and health outcomes research.

It encourages submission of studies describing preclinical research with potential for application to human disease, and studies describing research obtained from preliminary human experimentation with potential to refine the understanding of biological principles underpinning human disease.

Also encouraged are studies describing public health research with potential for application to the clinic, disease prevention, or healthcare policy.
