Advances in Therapy

Advances in Therapy is an international, open choice, peer-reviewed (single-blind), and rapid publication journal. The scope of the journal is broad, covering the use of therapies, devices, and surgical techniques across all therapy areas. The key features of the journal are:
Rapid publication: The journal aims for a 2-week peer review, 3-4 weeks from acceptance to online. Please note that for any steps outside of our standard publication processes, such as multiple rounds of peer review or article proofs, or non-standard copyright requests, this may delay publication beyond these timelines.
Inclusivity: All scientifically sound research considered be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Research is considered from clinical phase, real-world and health economics outcomes studies. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international or a country-specific audience.
Personal service: The journal’s team will re-format articles and upload submissions on behalf of authors, if necessary.
Digital Features and Plain Language Summaries: These peer-reviewed features are welcomed to help enhance the educational value of a manuscript (for more information see “Author Information – Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries” under “Submission guidelines”). 
Novel article types: We publish a wide range of novel article types beyond the traditional formats, including standalone podcast articles, Patient/Physician Perspective articles, and Summary of Research Articles. Please contact us for more information.
