February 10, 2012 – The Society for Endocrinology (SfE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) have today announced the forthcoming launch of Endocrine Connections – a new Open Access journal for the biomedical community. The journal is a joint venture between the two societies, to be published by BioScientifica.Endocrine Connections will be led by Dr Jens Sandahl Christiansen, Professor of Medicine at the University of Aarhus, and consultant in the department of medicine at Aarhus University Hospital. A world-class Editorial board is currently being recruited. The journal will focus on publishing articles that have relevance across the many disciplines that intersect with endocrinology – its broad scope encompassing metabolism, obesity, diabetes, hormones, reproduction and bone disorders – to stimulate cross-discipline collaboration and the cross-fertilization of ideas in biomedicine.

Yesterday the Society for Endocrinology (SfE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) announced the forthcoming launch of Endocrine Connections – a new Open Access journal for the biomedical community. The journal is a joint venture between the two societies, to be published by BioScientifica.
“We believe the time is now right for a new kind of journal that will help stimulate cross-discipline collaboration and give our authors the highest possible visibility for their work,” commented Leon Heward-Mills, Chief Executive at SfE. “We already serve the core endocrinology community well with our established portfolio of journals, but as barriers between disciplines become increasingly blurred, we want to offer authors a new way to reach a much broader readership than traditional subscription-based journals can generally offer. We believe that Endocrine Connections is ideally placed to do this.”
Endocrine Connections will be led by Dr Jens Sandahl Christiansen, Professor of Medicine at the University of Aarhus, and consultant in the department of medicine at Aarhus University Hospital. A world-class Editorial board is currently being recruited. The journal will focus on publishing articles that have relevance across the many disciplines that intersect with endocrinology. Its broad scope encompasses metabolism, obesity, diabetes, hormones, reproduction and bone disorders.
“Our ambition is for Endocrine Connections to become a premier journal in the field with global impact,” said Dr Christiansen. “We are applying the very highest quality standards to our peer review and publishing processes. We are excited to have the opportunity to help our authors connect with researchers in a wide range of fields and increase the speed of the cross-fertilization of ideas in biomedicine. I believe it is at the intersection of disciplines that many of the next breakthrough discoveries will be made.”
Endocrine Connections opens for submissions in March 2012. Please visit our website to register for further news and announcements: http://www.endocrinology.org/.
