What matters most
Elsevier's guide for authors describes Kidney International Supplements as a supplements venue centered on sponsored supplements and supplement proposals, not a normal high-volume unsolicited original-research journal.
Why The Usual Acceptance-Rate Framing Breaks Here
For a standard research journal, authors ask whether the paper is good enough and what the acceptance rate looks like. For Kidney International Supplements, the earlier question is whether your manuscript belongs in the journal's supplements model at all.
When It May Fit
- You are working within a supplement or supplement proposal structure.
- The issue is being organized around a common topic.
- The submission aligns with the journal's supplements workflow and sponsor-backed model.
When To Use Another Journal
- You have a normal unsolicited nephrology research paper.
- You are looking for a standard article-by-article acceptance-rate signal.
- You want a conventional journal workflow rather than a supplements workflow.
Bottom Line
Do not treat Kidney International Supplements like a routine fallback journal for renal research. Confirm the supplements workflow first, then decide whether the paper belongs there.
