Endocrinology and Metabolism: Open Access Journal Scope 2021

Endocrinology and Metabolism: Open Access is a peer reviewed journal which focuses on the publication of current research and developments on the endocrine glands and its secretions with their coordination with metabolism and reproduction.

Endocrinology and Metabolism: Open Access Journal is using Editorial Tracking System to maintain quality and transparency to the author in the peer-review process. Review processing will be performed by the editorial board members of the Journal Endocrinology and Metabolism: Open Access or by Reviewers (outside experts in the field). Two independent reviewer’s approval (Minimum reviewer’s approval) followed by editor approval is obligatory for acceptance of any manuscript excluding an editorial.

In 2021, we are expanding the scope of the journal. A major aspect of the stated mission of this journal is to constructively erode silos of clinical and research activity. Specifically, it has been our aim to facilitate knowledge transfer between endocrinology and cardiovascular medicine. A second-level consideration concerns the excellence between the closely related disciplines of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism. These specialties, although often intersecting within the clinic, remain segregated to some extent. This convention is reflected in dedicated scientific and professional care societies, separate major scientific conferences for each specialty, and the number of medical journals that are devoted to either endocrinology or diabetes rather than to both subjects together. Beyond the focus on hyperglycemia, diabetes is intimately associated with other derangements of other aspect of intermediary metabolism; for example, defects in aspects of lipid metabolism are usually encountered in the setting of even minor degrees of glucose intolerance.

We wish to encourage submissions of all aspects of endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism that are relevant to vascular disease. This journal’s international editorial board is being reconstituted to reflect this expanded perspective.

Developments in genetics, metabolomics, and lipidomics are helping to dissect the associations between metabolic and vascular disorders with ever greater precision. Moreover, there is increasing recognition of the importance of combined metabolic-vascular actions of novel pharmacotherapies. The notable reductions in coronary failure in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes treated with sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which weren't predicted, points to effects, possibly hemodynamic, beyond reductions in hyperglycemia. The potential for pharmacological interventions to influence multiple aspects of metabolism in the context of cardiovascular risk reduction is also of interest. It is only recently that statins have been demonstrated to confer a small increase in risk of new-onset diabetes. This realization provided pause for considered a drug class that had hitherto been considered having only positive metabolic effects. The diabetogenic effects of statins emphasize the potential for adverse consequences, that is, hyperglycemia, arising from a pharmacological intervention that targets another aspect of metabolism, i.e. low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors provide even greater reductions in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. To date, however, no signal of elevated diabetes risk has been observed with these potent new agents.

In addition to metabolic disease, this journal’s interest in the relevance of pituitary, adrenal, and reproductive endocrinology to vascular physiology and disease remains undiminished.

Journal is now accepting manuscripts for volume 5 for year 2021. We publish minimum of 5 and maximum of 20 articles per issue every month. Submissions in our journal are given high priority during the process.
