About IV Journal

IV Journal is a Diamond Open Access, peer-reviewed publication dedicated entirely to vascular access and infusion therapy. Every article is freely available — no paywalls, no author publication charges.

We publish original research, qualitative and quantitative studies, case reports, systematic reviews, clinical opinion pieces, and product evaluations — all focused on the clinical specialty of IV therapy.

The IVTEAM support system

IV Journal doesn't leave people to work things out alone. It sits inside the wider IVTEAM ecosystem — IVTEAM, IV Journal, IV Conference and IV Podcast — built specifically to guide authors, presenters and participants through the process, whichever route they take.

Help from first idea through to final acceptance: choosing the right article type, structuring an abstract, preparing figures, understanding reviewer feedback, and revising with confidence.

Practical support for IV Conference — building a slide deck, shaping a talk for a mixed clinical audience, and rehearsing delivery with confidence.

L

Participants & listeners

Clear signposting from IV Conference sessions and IV Podcast episodes to related IV Journal articles, so learning continues after the event ends.
