Abstract
The Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases (SLJID) is an open access, peer-reviewed, biannual journal published by the Sri Lankan Society for Microbiology (SSM). The Journal considers articles from all professional disciplines involved in the field of infectious diseases. The Journal has been in publication since 2011, is included in the DOAJ since 2018 and is a member of COPE since 2021. The SLJID practices a double-blind peer review policy. From 2022, the SLJID publishes accepted manuscripts online immediately after copy-editing, enabling rapid dissemination of scientific knowledge. The published articles are subsequently compiled into two issues in April and October. The SLJID does not charge any article processing or publication fee.
