The American Journal of Interventional Radiology (AJIR) is an open-access peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing high-quality articles in the field of Interventional Radiology. The journal aims to present the most current information in Interventional radiology that is relevant to the current practice of Interventional Radiology. The journal is owned and published by the Scientific Scholar.

Audience

Our audience includes Interventional Radiologists, Radiologists, Nurse Practitioners, Researchers, Clinicians, other medical professionals, and medical students. We also have a Technical Innovation section to highlight the latest technology developments in Interventional Radiology.

Review Process

AJIR has a highly rigorous double-blinded peer-review process that makes sure that manuscripts are scientifically accurate, relevant, novel and important. Authors disclose all conflicts of interest, affiliations and financial disclosures such that the published content is not biased.

In-house submissions that contain the work of any editorial board member, are not allowed to be reviewed by that editorial board member and all decisions regarding this manuscript are made by an independent editor. In addition, these manuscripts are reviewed by the two external reviewers. This is also disclosed in the published manuscript under the section of Conflict of Interest.

Editorial Team

The editorial board comprises of a panel of international experts in Interventional Radiology from various countries to provide their expertise and guidance to the Editor-In-Chief in maintaining the clarity of content and focus of the journal’s purpose.

Facts About the Journal

Scope of American Journal of Interventional Radiology
The AJIR will cover technical and clinical studies related to health, ethical and social issues in the field of Interventional Radiology. Manuscripts with high clinical interest and implications will be given preference.

The mission of this journal subsidiary s to publish, promote, educate, and spread the knowledge of Interventional Radiology in a manner that enables Interventional radiologists to clearly comprehend concepts and practices and encourage further research and technical innovations.

American Journal of Interventional Radiology is a platform for practicing Interventional radiologists, researchers, and students to share, learn, and gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts and practices of Interventional Radiology understand the physics governing the equipment used in Interventional radiology procedures. The journal aims to make available cutting edge technical and relevant knowledge to Interventional radiologists worldwide leading to optimal healthcare for all. It intends to maintain the highest standard of professionalism to ensure advancement Interventional Radiology to the next level.

American Journal of Interventional Radiology will have Seven categories covering: Neurologic Interventions, Vascular Interventions, GI/GU/Thoracic non-vascular Interventions, Interventional Oncology, Musculoskeletal Interventions, Pediatric Interventional Radiology and Patient Care, Practice Management and Education. The journal publishes original research papers, papers on technical innovations, review articles, Radiologic/Interventional/Surgical correlation, pictorial essays, case reports, Case series and letters to editors. The journal allows free access to its articles.

Many journals consider case reports to have a low impact factor. We feel case reports are the basic building blocks of medical knowledge in Interventional Radiology. We strongly encourage authors to send case reports for publication in our journal. We believe case reports stimulate the reader’s thought processes and encourage them to think of novel and varied paths. This, in turn, results in the generation of new research ideas and is very important in promoting scientific investigation and exploration.

It is a peer-reviewed international journal with a double-blind review process. Its frequency of publication is continuous, what that means is, it publishes the article once it’s accepted after peer review. Currently, we only have E-Journal and do not publish in print.
