COPE logo
ISSN: 1179-1373

The following Article Collection/ Thematic Series is currently open for submissions:

We are pleased to announce a new Article Collection in HIV/AIDS - Research and Palliative Care, dedicated to the transformative role of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV prevention. Since its clinical introduction, PrEP has revolutionized HIV care, providing significant benefits in preventing transmission, enhancing prevention confidence, and reducing anxiety for at-risk populations.

Given the global importance of PrEP, HIV/AIDS - Research and Palliative Care invites submissions of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives exploring the clinical efficacy, safety, mechanisms of action, and real-world application of this transformative strategy.

The collection, edited by Editor-In-Chief Professor Olubunmi Akindele Ogunrin, will be included in Taylor & Francis’ Game Changer Series. This series features Article Collections focused on breakthrough therapies, drugs, or technologies that have significantly altered the standard of care, leading to game-changing improvements in patient outcomes.

Papers published within the Game Changer series will benefit from additional promotional activities across Taylor and Francis, increasing the discoverability and visibility of your research.

While the call is open to receive manuscripts across the broad spectrum of PrEP in HIV prevention, the Editors are particularly interested in manuscripts relating to the following areas:

  • Agents in PrEP strategy
  • Delivery models
  • Target populations
  • Barriers and support
  • Education, acceptability, adoption, adherence and retention

All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo a full peer-review. Please review the journal scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submitting manuscripts is 1 April 2026.

Please submit your manuscript on our website. Submitting authors are eligible for a 20% discount on the Article Publishing charge by applying the following code at the point of submission F4375

If you have any queries regarding the Article Collection or would like to discuss a submission, then please email the Commissioning Editor at [email protected].
