Special Issues
Focused scholarly collections for priority questions in HIV clinical research, prevention, treatment, and public health.
Focused scholarly collections
A Special Issue brings related research together around a clearly defined clinical, scientific, or public-health question.
JCRHAP considers focused collections that align with its aim and scope and contribute a well-defined scholarly conversation across HIV research.
Each collection is developed with a clear editorial plan and published information for prospective authors. Collection pages set out the scope and submission guidance relevant to that topic.
