About the Journal

Aims & Scope

APU Journal is a peer-reviewed, open-access medical journal publishing articles in English. It aims to disseminate high-quality scientific work reflecting the most recent advances in the field of urology.

Its scope encompasses the major classical urological subspecialties, including urologic oncology, pediatric urology, andrology, infertility, kidney transplantation, nephrology, neurourology, endourology, and lithiasis. The journal also actively welcomes contributions in technological and innovation-driven areas, such as robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery.

In line with this mission, the journal publishes timely, practical, and state-of-the-art contributions based on clinical research, clinical experience, and translational studies relevant to contemporary urological practice.

The journal's primary audience includes urologists, andrologists, nephrologists, oncologists, surgeons, obstetricians, pediatricians, general practitioners, and medical researchers with an interest in urology and related disciplines.

Supplementary issues on selected themes may also be published at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
