About the International Journal of Inflammation Research

A multidisciplinary platform advancing research on inflammation mechanisms, clinical manifestations, therapeutic interventions, and translational applications across all domains of human health

Pioneering Inflammation Science Worldwide

The International Journal of Inflammation Research (IJIR) serves as a premier forum for disseminating groundbreaking discoveries in inflammation biology and its clinical implications. As an open access, peer-reviewed journal, IJIR connects cellular and molecular researchers with clinicians, immunologists, pharmacologists, and public health scientists who collectively advance our understanding of inflammatory processes.

From acute inflammatory responses to chronic inflammatory diseases, IJIR publishes rigorous original research, comprehensive reviews, and focused short communications that illuminate mechanisms, identify therapeutic targets, and translate laboratory findings into clinical practice. Our global editorial network ensures that each manuscript receives expert evaluation aligned with the highest standards of scientific integrity.

IJIR is committed to transparency, rapid dissemination, and equitable access to inflammation research. We welcome submissions that span basic science, translational studies, clinical investigations, and therapeutic innovation - all united by the goal of improving health outcomes through inflammation-focused research.

Our Mission

IJIR aims to create an international network of scientists, clinicians, and educators dedicated to advancing inflammation research. By providing a platform for high-quality publications, we accelerate the translation of inflammatory science from bench to bedside.

We prioritize research that deepens mechanistic understanding, identifies novel biomarkers, evaluates therapeutic interventions, and addresses the societal burden of inflammation-related diseases. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that insights from diverse fields converge to solve complex inflammatory challenges.

Open Access Commitment

All IJIR articles are published under Creative Commons licenses, ensuring that research findings reach clinicians, researchers, educators, and policymakers without barriers. Our open access model accelerates knowledge transfer and supports evidence-based decision-making worldwide.

Authors retain copyright while granting broad reuse rights, enabling their work to be cited, taught, and applied in derivative research. This accessibility promotes collaboration across institutions, disciplines, and geographic boundaries.

Comprehensive Research Scope

IJIR publishes research across the full spectrum of inflammation science. Our scope encompasses cellular mechanisms, organ-specific inflammatory conditions, systemic inflammation, and therapeutic strategies. We welcome both fundamental investigations and applied clinical studies that advance the field.

Acute & Chronic Inflammation

Pathophysiology, resolution mechanisms, transition from acute to chronic states, and inflammatory mediator dynamics

Cellular & Molecular Mechanisms

Signaling pathways, transcription factors, cytokine networks, inflammasome activation, and epigenetic regulation

Immunology & Allergology

Immune cell function, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmune inflammation, and immunomodulation

Organ-Specific Inflammation

Hepatitis, dermatological inflammation, mastitis, respiratory inflammation, neuroinflammation, and cardiovascular inflammation

Anti-Inflammatory Therapeutics

Drug development, natural products, biologics, small molecules, and combination therapy strategies

Clinical Studies & Outcomes

Patient stratification, biomarker validation, treatment efficacy, disease progression monitoring, and quality of life

Inflammation & Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancer-related inflammation, metabolic inflammation

Inflammation Mediators & Biomarkers

Cytokines, chemokines, acute phase proteins, lipid mediators, and novel diagnostic/prognostic markers

Cytotoxicity & Cell Death

Necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and their roles in inflammatory pathology

Multidisciplinary Integration: IJIR recognizes that inflammation intersects with multiple scientific disciplines. We encourage submissions that bridge immunology, pharmacology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, clinical medicine, and public health to provide comprehensive insights into inflammatory processes.
