The Lancet HIV: Information for Authors
The Lancet HIV is an exclusively online journal dedicated to publishing original research that advocates change in, or illuminates, HIV clinical practice. We will publish translational, epidemiological, clinical, operational, and implementation studies. All original research judged eligible for consideration by the journal’s editors will be peer-reviewed within 72 h and, if accepted, published online within 8 weeks from submission. The journal will also publish relevant commentary and correspondence. Wherever possible, figures and good quality photographs (colour or black and white) should be used to supplement and to enhance the text. We also welcome videos. Further details on the different sections of The Lancet HIV, and how to submit to the journal, are provided below. If you require further clarification, the journal's editorial staff will be pleased to help (email TheLancetHIV@lancet.com).
Manuscripts must be solely the work of the author(s) stated, must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration by another journal. The Lancet journals are signatories of the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE Recommendations) and to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct for editors. We follow COPE's guidelines.
