Publish your research in Diabetologia and Metabologia
EASD has two journals, Diabetologia, which publishes articles on all aspects of diabetes, from basic science through translational work to clinical research, and the newly launched Metabologia, an open access journal for research across the fields of diabetes, obesity, metabolism and related disorders. Both offer a platform for original studies, clinical trials, reviews, and interdisciplinary work that inform scientific understanding and clinical practice.
