Fast-Track Journal Articles
To ensure that scientific research of immediate concern is shared as rapidly as possible, we fast-track accepted articles from the IJTLD and PHA and publish them as edited preprints prior to publication in a journal – see examples below.
Individuals and institutes can subscribe to the IJTLD online or in print – simply email us at subscription@theunion.org for details.
