Accelerated Publication
Fast-track your transplant research from submission to publication. Priority processing ensures your clinical findings and immunological discoveries reach transplant physicians and surgeons without delays.
Research Investment
Significant APC savings across all membership tiers allow you to redirect resources toward clinical trials, laboratory investigations, and patient care rather than publication expenses.
Global Network
Connect with transplant surgeons, nephrologists, hepatologists, cardiologists, and immunologists worldwide. Share insights across kidney, liver, heart, lung, and composite tissue transplantation.
Professional Recognition
Demonstrate your commitment to advancing transplant medicine. Fellows contribute expert perspectives on emerging immunosuppressive regimens and surgical innovations.
Joining the JOT community is straightforward. Email [email protected] with your professional credentials, institutional affiliation, research specialty, and preferred membership tier. Our team reviews applications within 5 business days. Transplant centers and institutional partners receive personalized onboarding to maximize benefits across their transplant programs.
Developing Nation Support: Transplant researchers from low and middle-income countries may qualify for reduced membership fees. JOT is committed to ensuring economic barriers do not prevent clinician-scientists from emerging economies from contributing to global transplant advancement.

JOT membership supports research across transplant disciplines including kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, intestinal, and composite tissue transplantation. Additional areas include immunosuppression, rejection, tolerance induction, organ preservation, donor management, allocation, and long-term outcomes.
Transplantation requires multidisciplinary expertise spanning surgery, medicine, immunology, pathology, and coordination. JOT membership connects specialists strengthening collaborative approaches that translate into improved patient outcomes and graft survival.
Membership status never influences editorial decisions. All member submissions undergo identical peer review scrutiny by transplant experts and must meet rigorous standards. Publication decisions rest solely on scientific merit and clinical importance.
Members gain opportunities to engage with emerging clinical trial networks advancing transplant therapeutics. From novel immunosuppressive agents to tolerance protocols, membership connects researchers with the evolving landscape of transplant medicine innovation and experimental treatments.
JOT recognizes the importance of organ preservation advances in expanding donor pools. Members contribute to publishing research on machine perfusion, preservation solutions, and donor management protocols that directly expand access to life-saving transplantation.
Research addressing long-term graft survival, quality of life, medication adherence, and patient-reported outcomes is encouraged. Transplant recipients benefit from studies optimizing post-transplant care and addressing survivorship challenges affecting patients and their families over many years following transplantation.
