Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control believes that future solutions require a better understanding of the factors contributing to the development and spread of multi-drug resistance pathogens, interventions to prevent transmission and infection, and insight into the difference between settings with limited, middle or high resources.

Expedited Peer Review
We are pleased to highlight that Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control recognises that scientifically sound, high quality manuscripts are often turned away from broad-scope "high-impact" journals based on the issue of "general interest." The journal will consider rapid publication of such manuscripts - if they are submitted together with the original peer reviewer reports, letter of rejection, and a rebuttal. Please also mention this in your cover letter.
Please note that additional peer review may be necessary and the final decision will be made by the Editor.
Guidance - Peer Review
Here, we compile some handy tips for the community, from early-career researchers to clinicians on peer review. It may seem like a basic part of a reseacher’s role, but many basic and clinical researchers don’t get much training in the cornerstone of this life cycle of modern scientific literature.
Assessment by expert peers improves the quality of manuscripts and provides a level of control in scientific communication.
We've put together a short guide (Read more).
Open Collections
The below Collections are open for submission, please read their scope carefully before submitting your manuscript.

Safe Intravascular Catheters: Finding and Preventing Bloodstream Infections
Guest edited by Claire M Rickard and Jessica Schults
Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control is calling for submissions to our Collection on Safe Intravascular Catheters: Finding and Preventing Bloodstream Infections. Effective healthcare is unthinkable without intravascular catheters of all types (peripheral, central, venous, arterial). In this collection, we aim to focus on various aspects of intravascular catheter safety measures. We invite authors to submit original research, reviews, brief reports, commentaries.
