INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF UROLOGY

The International Journal of Urology (ISSN 0919-8172) is a peer-reviewed, monthly academic journal published by Wiley-Blackwell in Japan that serves as a significant platform for disseminating high-quality research in the field of urology. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and consistently ranked within the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal classification for the broad medical category, the journal maintains a moderate impact factor while upholding rigorous editorial standards. Its scope encompasses both fundamental and clinical investigations into the urinary system, with particular emphasis on urological oncology, nephrolithiasis, infectious diseases, male reproductive health, and advanced surgical techniques, while also placing a distinct focus on advancements originating from Asian research communities. Although the journal is not currently open access and is known for its competitive submission process with a relatively high rejection rate, it remains a respected venue for scholars seeking to publish robust clinical and basic science findings, provided they are prepared for a potentially longer review cycle.
