Aims and Scope
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases publishes research devoted to the pathology, epidemiology, prevention, treatment and control of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), as well as relevant public policy.

The NTDs are defined as a group of poverty-promoting chronic infectious diseases, which primarily occur in rural areas and poor urban areas of low-income and middle-income countries. Their impact on child health and development, pregnancy, and worker productivity, as well as their stigmatizing features limit economic stability.

All aspects of these diseases are considered, including:

Pathogenesis
Clinical features
Pharmacology and treatment
Diagnosis
Epidemiology
Vector biology
Vaccinology and prevention
Demographic, ecological and social determinants
Public health and policy aspects (including cost-effectiveness analyses).

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Four reviewers, all with very positive feedback, suggested only minor revisions. However, the editor unexpectedly rejected the submission, which is the most absurd thing I have ever seen.

The journals in the PLoS series are all very slow, taking a total of more than 6 months from submission to acceptance.
