Journal Title：Endocrine

Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.

Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.

Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.

作为当今快速发展的实验和临床研究领域的主要期刊，Endocrine 发表的原创文章致力于内分泌学和代谢的所有不同领域的基础（包括分子、细胞和生理学研究）、转化和临床研究.文章将根据同行评审、优先级和编辑决定被接受。发表关于相关病理生理学和临床主题的特邀评论、小型评论和观点，以及发表在期刊上的文章的社论。未经请求的社论将由编辑团队进行评估。可以提交科学会议的结果以及指南和立场声明。该杂志还考虑内分泌遗传学和表观遗传学领域的专题文章，以及致力于内分泌学新方法和技术的文章。

内分泌涵盖有争议的临床内分泌问题。还接受关于内分泌和代谢主题的荟萃分析。除非特别感兴趣，否则不会发表对单个临床病例和/或小患者研究的描述。然而，可以考虑在单个患者中进行新的影像学研究和内分泌副作用的报告。可以提交与最近发表的文章相关或无关的研究信函和致编辑的信函。

内分泌学涵盖内分泌学的主要主题，例如神经内分泌学、垂体和下丘脑肽、甲状腺生理和临床方面、骨骼和矿物质代谢和骨质疏松症、肥胖、脂质和能量代谢以及食物摄入控制、胰岛素、1 型和 2 型糖尿病, 男性和女性生殖激素, 肾上腺疾病儿科和老年内分泌学, 内分泌高血压和内分泌肿瘤学。
