IJV Membership Program
Advancing the understanding and treatment of vascular inflammatory disorders through collaborative scholarly publishing.
Empowering Vasculitis Research Worldwide
The International Journal of Vasculitis serves as an authoritative platform for disseminating research across all facets of vasculitis and related vascular inflammatory disorders. Our membership program provides rheumatologists, immunologists, vascular medicine specialists, and clinical researchers with comprehensive publishing benefits designed to accelerate the dissemination of vasculitis research findings to the global medical community.
IJV publishes high-quality original research, systematic reviews, and clinical case reports spanning the diagnosis, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and therapeutic management of systemic vasculitides. Whether your research addresses giant cell arteritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, Takayasu arteritis, or rare small-vessel vasculitides, IJV membership ensures your contributions reach specialists and clinicians worldwide through our open-access model with no subscription barriers.
Our distinguished editorial board comprises internationally recognized vasculitis experts from leading academic medical centers who evaluate manuscripts for scientific rigor, methodological soundness, clinical relevance, and contribution to advancing patient care. Members benefit from expedited manuscript handling, expert subspecialty peer review, and significant publication cost savings that support sustained research productivity throughout their careers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of vasculitis research does IJV prioritize?
IJV welcomes research across all vasculitis classifications—large, medium, and small vessel—including diagnostic studies, epidemiological investigations, pathophysiology research, treatment outcomes, and translational studies.
Are case reports on rare vasculitides accepted?
Yes. Given the rarity of many vasculitic syndromes, well-documented case reports contribute significantly. We welcome cases demonstrating unusual presentations or novel therapeutic approaches.
How does institutional membership benefit departments?
Institutional partnerships cover all department members under a single agreement, simplifying grant budgeting and encouraging collaborative publications across investigator teams.
Can pharmaceutical companies publish clinical trial results?
Industry-sponsored research undergoes the same rigorous peer review. Partnership provides discounted fees while maintaining editorial independence and scientific integrity.
What renewal benefits are available?
Members who renew before expiration receive a 10% loyalty discount and may transfer unused publication credits to the new term to accommodate research timelines.
Does IJV publish imaging and biomarker studies?
Yes. We welcome research on PET-CT, MR angiography, ultrasound techniques, ANCA subtype research, cytokine profiling, and novel diagnostic biomarkers for vasculitis.
Are systematic reviews and meta-analyses within scope?
IJV actively encourages systematic reviews and meta-analyses addressing vasculitis diagnosis, treatment efficacy, and patient outcomes. High-quality evidence synthesis plays a critical role in developing treatment guidelines for rare vasculitic conditions.
What support is available for international authors?
IJV serves a global readership and welcomes submissions from researchers worldwide. Our editorial team provides guidance on manuscript preparation, and English language editing support is available to ensure clarity and publication readiness for non-native speakers.
