Editor guidelines

The African Journal of Malaria and Tropical Diseases focuses on publishing high-quality research addressing various aspects of tropical diseases, particularly malaria, and their prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, case reports, short communications, and letters to the editor that contribute to advancing the understanding of tropical diseases in Africa and other endemic regions. Manuscripts should be written in clear and concise English, and the research presented must be robust, with a clear methodology and accurate results.

All submissions should adhere to ethical research guidelines, with proper approval from relevant ethics committees for studies involving human or animal subjects. Authors are expected to disclose any conflicts of interest, as well as sources of funding or sponsorship for their research. Manuscripts should follow the journal's specified formatting style, including correct citation formats for references. The use of figures and tables is encouraged to present data clearly, but they must be relevant and well-captioned.

The journal prioritizes work that offers practical implications for the prevention and management of malaria and other tropical diseases, particularly in resource-limited settings. Additionally, studies that explore novel approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine development are highly valued. Submissions will undergo rigorous peer review, ensuring that only scientifically rigorous and impactful studies are published. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s standards of quality and originality will be rejected.
