Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to get published in scientific journals (with the editors of the Journal of Infection, and Clinical Infection in Practice)
Q: How has open access affected publishing?
Open access broadens visibility and immediate access for readers, which can increase citations and impact, but it also requires funding for authors, often through institutional or association support, creating budget considerations for researchers and libraries.
How to get published in scientific journals (with the editors of the Journal of Infection, and Clinical Infection in Practice)
Q: How do you view negative results?
Negative results are acceptable if the study is well-conceived and important; they should be properly conducted and reported, and should not be dismissed simply because the outcome is negative, though underpowered studies require careful interpretation.
How to get published in scientific journals (with the editors of the Journal of Infection, and Clinical Infection in Practice)
Q: What are you looking for when someone submits an article?
Editors look for high-quality material that is novel, well-executed, and ideally topical; submissions should have a clear research question and be well-designed, with either interventional or observational methods, preferably multi-center and involving diverse stakeholders.
Understanding immune ageing in untreated HIV slow progressors, and a novel treatment in NTM infections
Q: What are the next steps or future directions for this research?
Longer-term data to see if immune aging translates into more comorbidities and aging-related diseases, deeper mechanistic studies using new tools, and development of practical guidelines or trials—ideally with easier heat sources for any therapeutic approaches.
Understanding immune ageing in untreated HIV slow progressors, and a novel treatment in NTM infections
Q: What questions were you hoping to answer with this study and why was it important?
We aimed to understand whether slow progressors inherently protected against HIV-related immune aging and how aging markers relate to HIV status and treatment, with the goal of informing patient decisions and potentially guiding future therapies.
