Scope and Priority Themes

We publish research that improves diagnosis, treatment, and mechanistic understanding of hormone driven conditions. Submissions may address both basic science and clinical outcomes.

• Diabetes, insulin signaling, and metabolic syndrome
• Thyroid disorders, autoimmunity, and endocrine imaging
• Adrenal, pituitary, and neuroendocrine regulation
• Reproductive endocrinology, fertility, and hormone therapy
• Bone and mineral metabolism, osteoporosis, and calcium balance
• Pediatric endocrinology and growth disorders
• Endocrine oncology and hormone related cancers
• Obesity, appetite regulation, and energy balance

Article Types

We consider original research, systematic reviews, meta analyses, clinical trials, translational studies, and evidence based guidelines. Case series and technical notes are welcome when they provide clear clinical insight or methodological value.

• Original research and clinical investigations
• Systematic reviews and evidence syntheses
• Clinical trials and intervention studies
• Diagnostic and imaging studies
• Guidelines, consensus statements, and best practice briefs

Special Issue Opportunities

We welcome proposals for themed issues that highlight emerging topics such as endocrine disruptors, digital endocrinology, precision medicine, or novel therapeutics. Proposals should outline scope, timelines, and guest editor expertise.

Interdisciplinary Research

We encourage collaboration across endocrinology, genetics, nutrition, and data science. Studies linking biomarkers, imaging, and outcomes are particularly valuable.

Ethical and Transparent Reporting

Ensure reporting is aligned with clinical guidelines and includes clear limitations, reproducibility details, and data access statements.

Clinical Trials and Real World Evidence

JEH encourages clinical trial reports and real world evidence that evaluate endocrine therapies, diagnostic pathways, and health system interventions. Clearly report enrollment criteria, endpoints, and follow up timelines to support clinical translation.

Metabolic and Hormone Mechanisms

Mechanistic studies that explain hormone signaling, receptor pathways, or metabolic regulation are valued when linked to clinical relevance. We welcome translational work connecting bench findings to patient outcomes.

Emerging Methods

Submissions that apply imaging, omics, or digital health tools to endocrinology are welcome. Studies should describe data provenance, validation, and bias mitigation.

Public Health and Equity

We welcome research that addresses endocrine disparities, access to care, and population level metabolic risk. Manuscripts should describe demographic context and equity considerations.

Submission Tips

Include a clear cover letter describing scope fit and key findings. Ensure your abstract highlights clinical significance and aligns with endocrine terminology for discoverability.

Precision Endocrinology

We encourage studies that stratify patients by biomarkers, genetics, or hormone profiles to improve treatment personalization. Clear subgroup reporting strengthens clinical value.

Therapeutic Innovations

Submissions on new therapies, devices, or monitoring approaches should include safety data, comparative effectiveness, and potential impact on endocrine care pathways.

Study Design Clarity

Well described cohort selection, outcome definitions, and statistical methods help reviewers assess validity. Include limitations and discuss generalizability to patient populations.

Patient Centered Outcomes

We value work that captures quality of life, adherence, and real world outcomes for people living with endocrine conditions. These outcomes support practical clinical decision making.

Digital Endocrinology

We welcome studies using digital tools, remote monitoring, or decision support systems in endocrine care. Clearly describe validation, usability, and clinical integration.

Bench to Bedside

Translational studies that connect molecular findings with therapeutic strategies are encouraged. Highlight how findings inform clinical pathways or treatment selection.

Global Endocrine Health

Research that addresses endocrine care in diverse regions, including resource limited settings, supports equitable access to diagnosis and treatment. Provide context and population details.

Rapid Clinical Communication

If your findings influence near term clinical practice, emphasize practical implications and patient impact. Clearly describe how results could inform guidelines, screening, or treatment adjustments in endocrine care pathways.

Pre Submission Questions

If you are unsure about fit, send a brief summary to the editorial office. We provide fast guidance on scope, article type, and submission readiness. Early clarification reduces delays

and improves reviewer alignment for faster decisions. This also confirms data requirements and reporting expectations for clinical and laboratory studies in endocrinology and metabolism.
