About the journal
Transplant International
The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the form of original and high quality papers in the field of transplantation. Clinical and experimental studies, as well as editorials, letters to the editors, and, occasionally, reviews on the biology, physiology, and immunology of transplantation of tissues and organs, are published. Both full-length articles and short papers are included in the journal. Publishing time for the latter is approximately six months, provided major revisions are not needed. The journal is published in yearly volumes, each volume containing twelve issues. Papers submitted to the journal are subject to peer review.
"Transplant International" is the official journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) and the European Liver Transplant Association (ELTA).

Editorial policies and procedures
Transplant International is the official journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), the European Liver and Intestine Transplant Association (ELITA) and the German Transplantation Society (Deutsche Transplantationsgesellschaft, DTG). It provides a forum for the publication of clinical and experimental research on the biology, physiology, and immunology of tissue and organ transplantation. The journal is published in print and online in yearly volumes, twelve times a year.
Transplant International will not consider manuscripts that have been published previously or that are under consideration for publication eleswhere.
Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. At the discretion of the Editors, the submitted manuscript may be rejected immediately, without full review, for instance if it falls outside of the field of transplantation or if it does not comply with international ethical standards (see below).
Authorship
All persons listed as authors must have contributed substantially to the design, performance, analysis, or reporting of the work and are required to indicate their specific contribution. The specific requirements for authorship have been defined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE; http://www.icmje.org). Examples of authors contributions are: "designed research/study"', "performed research/study", "contributed important reagents", "collected data", "analyzed data", "wrote paper" etc. This information must be included in the title page of the manuscript and will be printed if the paper is accepted for publication. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining permission from all co-authors for the submission of any version of the manuscript and for any changes in authorship.
Ethics
Manuscripts must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reveiwed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 2000 Declaration of Helsinki (http://www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm). It should also be state clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under the study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of Laboratory animal care" NIH publication Vol 25, No. 28 revised 1996; http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/noticefiles/not96-208.html) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
Clincal Trials
Transplant International will only consider publishing trials that have been registered in a public trials registry. The name of the registry and the registration number should be stated at the end of the abstract of the manuscript. Trials must register at or before patients are enrolled. This policy applies to any clinical trial starting enrolment of subjects after January 1, 2006. Trials that began enrolment before January 1, 2006 are required to register by April 1, 2006. We define clinical trials according to ICMJE, as any research project that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention or comparison groups to study the cause and effect relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome. Studies designed for other purposes, such as to study pharmacokinetics or major toxicity (e.g., phase I trials), would be exempt.
Click here to view 2005 editorial, "Transplant International adopts the policy of a uniform clinical trial registration".
Registration must be done at a registry that meets the following minimum criteria:
- Accessible to the public at no charge.
- Searchable by standard electronic (internet-based) methods.
- Open to all prospective registants free of charge or at minimal cost.
- Validates registered information.
- Identifies trials with a unique number.
- Included information on: the investigator(s), research question or hypothesis, methodology, intervention and comparisons, eligibility criteria, primary and secondary outcomes measured, date of registration, anticipated or actual start date, anticipated or actual date of last follow-up, target number of subjects, status (anticipated, ongoing or closed), and funding source(s).
Registries that currently meet these criteria include:
- The registry sponsored by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (www.clinicaltrials.gov).
- The International Standard Randomised Controlled Trail Number Registry (www.controlled-trials.com).
- The Cochrane Renal Group registry (www.cochrane-renal.org/trialsubmissionform.php).
- The National (U.K.) Research Register (www.update-software.com/national)
- Euporean Clinical Trials Database (http://eudract.emea.eu.int/)
The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above mentioned requirements.

Accepted papers
Proofs
Proofs will be sent via e-mail as an Acrobat PDF (portable document format) file. Please return proofs to the Production Editor within 72 hours, or you will risk delaying the publication of your article.
Offprints
Corresponding authors will automatically receive a free PDF offprint by e-mail. Additional offprints can be ordered on the offprint order form, which accompanies the proofs.
Early View
Transplant International is covered by the Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles mean that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continued to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at http://www.doi.org/faq.html
Author Services
Online production tracking is available for your article through Author Services
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more detials on online production tracking and a for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Author material archive policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, the Publisher will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.
