The Journal primarily focuses on infectious diseases, including TB and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), alongside the role of risk factors and comorbidities. All open access research on chronic respiratory diseases is published in a sister title, IJTLD CRD.

IJTLD OPEN is open access and free to read. Also, authors retain copyright and can freely distribute the PDF or upload it to any website. As a consequence, open access articles are highly downloaded and more highly cited.
