Journal special collections
We regularly publish special issues, supplements, and themed article collections in both of our journals, Transactions and International Health.
Supplements are themed article collections that are funded by external partners. In addition to the publication of the supplement, the RSTMH offers dedicated communications to coincide with the launch of the supplement, including webinars and promotion in our Newsletter and across our Social Media channels. Our most recent Supplements are listed below:
Multidisciplinary research programme COUNTDOWN published a collection of implementation research studies focused on improving the equity and efficiency of health systems interventions to control and eliminate seven Neglected Tropical Diseases, in a supplement for RSTMH journal International Health.
A Special Issue is a themed collection of papers which focuses on a specific area of research. This typically has broad appeal but falls within the aims of scope of the journal the collection is published in. Our most recent Special Issues are listed below:
In December 2020, we published a special issue of Transactions on podoconiosis, or nonfilarial elephantiasis; a neglected tropical disease (NTD), which causes massive swelling of the lower limbs due to chronic exposure to irritant soils.
A WHO Task Team on Climate Change, NTDs and Malaria launched the findings of a major scoping review on the current state of knowledge on the actual and potential impacts of human-induced changes to climate patterns on diseases including malaria, dengue, lymphatic filariasis and leishmaniasis.
