Diabetes - European Medical Journal

Aims and Scope

EMJ Diabetes is an open-access, peer-reviewed eJournal committed to helping elevate the quality of healthcare in diabetes globally, by informing healthcare professionals on all aspects of the condition and its evolving treatment landscape.

The journal is published annually, 6 weeks after the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Congress and features highlights from this event, alongside interviews with experts in the field, reviews of abstracts presented at the congress, as well as in-depth features on congress sessions. The journal also covers advances within the clinical and pharmaceutical arenas by publishing sponsored content from congress symposia, which is of high educational value for healthcare professionals. This undergoes rigorous quality control checks by independent experts and the in-house editorial team.

EMJ Diabetes also publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and case reports in diabetes. In addition, the journal publishes features and opinion pieces intended to create a discussion around key topics in the field and broaden readers’ professional interests. The journal is managed by a dedicated editorial team that adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, maintains high standards of copy editing, and ensures timely publication.

EMJ Diabetes focuses on topics that are relevant to healthcare professionals in the field. We do not publish veterinary science papers or laboratory studies that are not linked to patient outcomes. We have a particular interest in topical studies that advance knowledge and inform of coming trends affecting clinical practice in diabetes.
