Aim & Scope
The Global Journal of Translational Science and Integrated Technologies aims to promote research that bridges the gap between discovery and practical application in medicine, health, and life sciences. The journal supports work that converts foundational scientific findings into clinical tools, therapeutic strategies, diagnostic systems, or public health technologies. It recognises translational research as an iterative and collaborative process that involves not only laboratory and clinical investigators but also engineers, technology developers, health system planners, and implementation scientists.
This journal seeks to provide a dedicated platform for interdisciplinary work that reflects both scientific depth and application potential. It encourages studies that integrate technologies into healthcare workflows, enhance decision-making at the point of care, or support population-level interventions. The journal prioritises research that is structured, ethically sound, and focused on solving real-world problems across diverse medical and environmental contexts.
By supporting a broad range of contributors and scientific approaches, the journal aims to advance the effectiveness, accessibility, and equity of innovation in health and life sciences.
Scope
The Global Journal of Translational Science and Integrated Technologies accepts submissions across a wide spectrum of translational activity, from basic science integration to field-based implementation studies. The journal welcomes original research, reviews, technical applications, and evaluation studies that demonstrate how discoveries are translated into functional systems, services, or tools for medical or societal use.
1. Translational Biomedical Research
Manuscripts are accepted in areas that explore the early stages of translation from basic science to preclinical models or early human application. Topics include:
- Validation of molecular biomarkers or genetic signatures
- Target discovery and lead optimisation for therapeutic development
- Early-stage pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling
- Translational cancer research involving lab-to-clinic progressions
- Integration of laboratory findings into disease classification or staging
- Biological platform development for therapy screening or pathway analysis
Authors should include clear relevance to eventual application in diagnostics, treatment, or healthcare systems.
2. Diagnostic Innovation and Clinical Integration
The journal supports studies that describe the development, validation, or clinical integration of diagnostic systems. This includes:
- Point-of-care technologies for infectious and non-communicable diseases
- Imaging techniques and computational image analysis with clinical applicability
- Biosensors and wearable health monitoring systems
- Digital diagnostics and algorithm-supported interpretation tools
- Clinical workflow integration of laboratory-developed diagnostics
- Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy, accessibility, or economic feasibility
Submissions should include information on user testing, data handling, and potential for routine clinical use.
3. Therapeutic Translation and Regenerative Technologies
Research focused on therapeutic delivery, bioresponsive systems, or regenerative applications falls within scope. Relevant topics include:
- Drug delivery platforms designed for tissue specificity or timed release
- Biocompatible scaffolds and engineered tissue constructs
- Gene therapy or cell therapy preparation and safety analysis
- Regenerative medicine for wound healing, organ repair, or neurorehabilitation
- Translation of lab-grown materials or organoids into therapeutic settings
- Evaluation of pharmacological agents using integrative technologies
Authors should discuss pathway feasibility, barriers to regulatory approval, and potential for scale.
4. Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence
Work involving digital tools, software systems, and artificial intelligence methods is welcomed, particularly when applied to patient care, health system optimisation, or real-time decision-making. Topics may include:
- AI-enabled diagnostics or prognosis prediction tools
- Electronic health record integration systems
- Mobile applications for chronic disease tracking or behavioural health
- Virtual platforms for telehealth, triage, or counselling
- Data integration platforms that support multi-site care or collaborative research
- Simulation environments for decision training or patient engagement
Papers must clearly describe technical specifications, data handling practices, and implementation potential.
5. Public Health Translation and Systems-Level Interventions
Authors may submit manuscripts that involve the translation of innovations into population or community-level programmes. This includes:
- Community-based diagnostic access models
- Implementation of technologies in rural or underserved settings
- Surveillance systems adapted for regional health monitoring
- Public health informatics and cross-sector coordination
- Translational evaluation of disease prevention campaigns
- Evaluation of acceptability, feasibility, and local adaptation of technology-driven programmes
Papers should explain their relevance to policy, access, or capacity-building outcomes.
6. Engineering for Health and Human-Centered Design
The journal encourages submissions that demonstrate how systems thinking and engineering methods contribute to healthcare delivery or accessibility. Relevant topics include:
- Workflow design in clinical or laboratory environments
- Human-centered design approaches for device or platform development
- Modular or portable infrastructure for diagnostics and screening
- Integration of environmental sensing with health analytics
- Device development for low-resource settings with user testing data
Authors should describe field-testing, co-design strategies, or implementation feedback where applicable.
7. Technology Transfer and Implementation Science
Manuscripts exploring the downstream phase of translation are also within scope. These may cover:
- Commercialisation case studies of health-related technologies
- Regulatory pathways and licensing considerations for novel tools
- Models for multi-sector collaboration in health innovation
- Sustainability planning and local ownership of interventions
- Evaluation frameworks for outcome measurement after deployment
The journal supports research that connects innovation to delivery, including programme evaluation and policy impact.
8. Education, Training, and Institutional Capacity
Submissions on the design or assessment of training models that support translational research are accepted. These may include:
- Interdisciplinary curricula for translational science students
- Institutional support systems for lab-to-clinic acceleration
- Training in regulatory science or ethics of integrated technologies
- Collaborative mentorship models across academia and practice
- Case-based educational tools and outcome assessments
These articles should provide concrete examples, assessment data, or qualitative reflections on effectiveness.
The journal invites submissions from researchers and practitioners around the world. It encourages contributions that describe innovation in low-resource settings, community-driven translational efforts, or regionally adapted health technologies. Collaborative papers involving academic institutions, startups, public health organisations, and community networks are especially welcome.
All manuscripts must be original, ethically sound, and properly cited. All references cited in the text must be listed at the end of the manuscript. The journal accepts citations in APA style. Authors must ensure accuracy and consistency in referencing.
By publishing work that connects discovery with delivery, the Global Journal of Translational Science and Integrated Technologies seeks to support the full lifecycle of innovation in health and medicine—from concept to application, and from the lab bench to the community.
