About Journal of Nephrology Advances
Advancing mechanistic understanding of kidney disease through rigorous open access publishing.
Welcome to JNA
The Journal of Nephrology Advances is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in kidney pathophysiology, molecular mechanisms, and translational nephrology science.
We serve basic scientists, translational researchers, and clinicians investigating the fundamental mechanisms underlying kidney diseases.
JNA provides a specialized forum for researchers investigating disease mechanisms, ensuring work reaches an audience that values pathophysiological insight. We emphasize molecular mechanisms, cellular pathways, disease models, and biomarker discovery that advance understanding of kidney disease processes.
Our editorial board comprises leading researchers in renal pathophysiology, molecular nephrology, and translational kidney science committed to maintaining rigorous standards while supporting authors in communicating mechanistic discoveries effectively.
Mechanistic Focus
Specialized forum for researchers investigating disease mechanisms, ensuring your work reaches an audience that values pathophysiological insight over clinical applications.
Rigorous Peer Review
Expert reviewers with deep expertise in renal pathophysiology evaluate manuscripts for mechanistic rigor, experimental validity, and translational relevance.
Open Access Impact
All articles are freely accessible worldwide, maximizing visibility and accelerating the dissemination of mechanistic discoveries to the global nephrology research community.
Rapid Publication
Efficient editorial processes with first decision in 21 days and publication within 40 days of submission. One of the fastest turnaround times in nephrology publishing.
Scientific Rigor: JNA maintains the highest standards for experimental design, data presentation, and mechanistic interpretation. All submissions undergo rigorous double-blind peer review by active researchers in nephrology and related fields.
We adhere to COPE guidelines for publication ethics and require compliance with relevant reporting standards (ARRIVE for animal studies, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews). Data sharing and transparency are encouraged to support reproducibility.
JNA covers all aspects of kidney pathophysiology and mechanistic research, including:
- Acute kidney injury mechanisms and biomarkers
- Chronic kidney disease progression pathways
- Glomerular and tubulointerstitial disease mechanisms
- Renal fibrosis and regeneration
- Immune mechanisms in kidney disease
- Renal pharmacology and nephrotoxicity
- Novel disease models and methodologies
- Kidney-systemic disease interactions
