Call for papers for International Journal of Tryptophan Research from Dr Gilles Guillemin

Dear Colleagues,

The field of tryptophan research has been moving and developing rapidly over the last few years rapidly. Therefore, I am writing to invite you to submit a paper to the International Journal of Tryptophan Research (IJTR).

IJTR is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal, which covers all subjects related to Tryptophan research. There is no suitable journal that focuses on Tryptophan, and the IJTR aims to fill this void and provide a forum for those with interests in this area. The journal also covers related precursors and metabolites such as serotonin, melatonin, niacin, tryptamine, kynurenine, and studies related to enzymes such as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and tryptophan hydroxylase. Topics include isolation, functionality, interactions, analysis, synthesis and industrial production, as well as supplementation and role in diet, physiology, neurological disorders and immune response. However all articles related to Tryptophan are welcome.

IJTR provides a rapid forum for manuscripts and allows easy and quick dissemination of clinical, scientific and review manuscripts. I strongly urge you to take advantage of this opportunity and become actively involved in this rapidly developing journal.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in International Journal of Tryptophan Research?
  • Full open access: everyone can read your article and you retain copyright in it
  • Publishing decision within 2 weeks of submission
  • Your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space and will be published immediately on acceptance
  • Prompt and fair peer review from two expert peer reviewers
  • Frequent updates on your paper’s status
  • Friendly responsive staff
What a previous author said:
"LA is different, and hopefully represents a kind of scientific publication machinery that removes the hurdles from free flow of scientific thought."
In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as International Journal of Tryptophan Research are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.

Next steps:

Yours sincerely,
Dr Gilles Guillemin
