Instructions to Authors
OFID publishes original, de novo submissions, as well as submissions cascaded from IDSA’s other journals: Clinical Infectious Diseases and The Journal of Infectious Diseases. We particularly welcome manuscripts redirected with earlier reviews from IDSA’s other journals, which will facilitate a faster publication process.
OFID has a streamlined submission process designed to avoid unnecessary work. Manuscripts can be submitted in any common document format that can be easily opened and read by others. After initial review, you may be asked to supply editable files that match journal formatting requirements, and high-resolution figures. For more details, please consult the Manuscript Preparation Instructions.
