Author Guidelines
Aim of the Journal:
The International Diabetology and Nutrition journal aims to provide a global platform for the publication of high-quality research, review articles, and clinical case studies in the fields of diabetology and nutrition. The journal objective is to advance understanding, prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of diabetes and its associated complications through cutting-edge research and evidence-based practice. It seeks to address the growing global burden of diabetes by fostering an interdisciplinary approach that includes insights from clinical medicine, nutrition science, pharmacology, endocrinology, epidemiology, and public health. The journal aims to bridge the gap between basic science, clinical research, and healthcare practice by publishing original research that addresses real-world challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients. This includes exploring innovative strategies for diabetes prevention and care, the role of diet and nutrition in metabolic health, and the impact of novel therapeutic interventions.
Scope of the Journal:
The scope of International Diabetology and Nutrition encompasses a broad range of topics related to diabetes, metabolic disorders, and nutrition. The journal welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, and case reports. It also encourages the submission of thought-provoking commentaries, perspectives, and editorials on the latest advancements in the field. Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Diabetology :
- Diabetes Pathophysiology and Management: The journal welcomes studies exploring the mechanisms underlying the development of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes. Research into innovative diagnostic tools, glucose monitoring techniques, and strategies for managing insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction, and glycemic control is highly encouraged.
- Diabetic Complications: Contributions related to the prevention, identification, and treatment of diabetes-related complications are a core focus. This includes research on nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions linked to diabetes, with emphasis on improving patient outcomes.
- Pharmacological Interventions: The journal seeks research into both established and novel pharmacological treatments for diabetes. This includes studies on the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of action of insulin therapies, oral hypoglycemic agents, GLP-1 agonists, and other therapeutic approaches aimed at improving glycemic control and reducing complications.
- Non-Pharmacological Therapies: In addition to drug therapies, the journal is interested in non-pharmacological approaches for managing diabetes. This includes research on lifestyle modifications such as exercise, behavioral therapies, and technological advancements like continuous glucose monitoring systems, insulin pumps, and artificial pancreas devices.
- Diabetes in Special Populations: The journal welcomes studies focused on the unique challenges of managing diabetes across different age groups and populations, including pediatric, adolescent, and geriatric patients. Research on diabetes care in low-resource settings and efforts to address disparities in access to care are also a priority.
- Global Epidemiology of Diabetes: The journal is interested in studies that address the worldwide burden of diabetes, including research on prevalence, risk factors, and prevention strategies. Public health approaches, community-based interventions, and policies aimed at reducing diabetes incidence and improving care are of particular importance.
Nutrition:
- Nutritional Science and Health: The journal covers a broad range of topics related to nutrition science and its impact on health. This includes research on macro- and micronutrient metabolism, nutritional deficiencies, and their role in preventing or contributing to disease states. Studies on specific diets and their effects on general and metabolic health are welcome.
- Clinical Nutrition: The journal focuses on the role of nutrition in clinical settings, particularly how dietary interventions can support the treatment and management of various health conditions. Research on medical nutrition therapy, nutritional support in critical care, and the role of nutrition in recovery and rehabilitation is encouraged.
- Obesity and Weight Management: The journal invites research on obesity, weight management strategies, and the role of nutrition in preventing and treating metabolic disorders. This includes studies on the effectiveness of different dietary patterns, nutritional interventions, and weight loss strategies for reducing obesity-related health risks.
- Nutritional Epidemiology: Studies on the relationship between dietary habits and population health are a key area of interest. The journal welcomes research that examines how nutrition influences the incidence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and metabolic syndrome, and the impact of nutrition-related public health initiatives.
- Nutritional Interventions for Disease Prevention: The journal encourages research on how specific nutritional interventions can prevent the onset of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and cancer. Studies investigating the role of specific nutrients, supplements, and dietary patterns in maintaining long-term health are particularly relevant.
- Nutritional Genomics: Research exploring the intersection of nutrition and genetics is a growing area of interest. The journal seeks studies that investigate how genetic factors influence individual responses to diet and nutrition, with an emphasis on personalized nutrition approaches that tailor dietary recommendations based on genetic profiles.
- Global Nutrition and Public Health: The journal aims to address global nutrition challenges, including malnutrition, food security, and the impact of dietary transitions on health outcomes. Research on nutritional disparities, access to healthy foods, and strategies for improving nutrition at the population level is essential for addressing worldwide health inequities.
