World Journal of Diabetes Research and Practice

About Journal

The World Journal of Diabetes Research and Practice (3065-5161) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to advancing the understanding, prevention, management, and treatment of diabetes mellitus. This journal provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of innovative scientific ideas, clinical research, and practical strategies that support patients, clinicians, and researchers in the field of diabetology.

In the modern era, diabetes continues to pose a significant global public health challenge, affecting millions of individuals across various age groups, economic backgrounds, and healthcare systems. As the prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes continues to rise, the need for timely, evidence-based research and applied knowledge has never been more urgent. This journal serves as a scholarly resource and reference point for both established professionals and emerging experts in the domains of endocrinology, metabolism, internal medicine, nutrition science, and chronic disease management.

A Comprehensive Focus on Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders

The World Journal of Diabetes Research and Practice is not limited to a single aspect of diabetes. Rather, it takes an inclusive approach, welcoming research contributions that explore the pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of diabetes. Special attention is given to interdisciplinary approaches that connect basic research with real-world clinical outcomes.

We aim to highlight work related to:

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Including autoimmune mechanisms, genetic risk factors, insulin therapy advancements, beta-cell preservation strategies, and disease progression in pediatric and adult populations.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Covering insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity-related diabetes, lifestyle intervention models, oral hypoglycemic agents, and newer therapeutic classes such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Gestational Diabetes: Studies on maternal health, screening protocols, fetal outcomes, and postpartum risk mitigation.

Pre-diabetes and Early Intervention: Emphasis on early diagnosis, patient education, dietary interventions, and structured physical activity programs.

Diabetes Complications: Comprehensive coverage of microvascular and macrovascular complications including diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetic foot ulcers.

Diabetes Technology: Focused articles on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, mobile health apps, and telemedicine solutions that enhance patient care and treatment adherence.

Translational Research: Bridging basic science with clinical application through studies on biomarkers, immunological pathways, and pharmacogenomics.

Global Relevance with a Local Impact

Our goal is to promote both global and region-specific research. While we prioritize universal scientific standards, we are also committed to highlighting research from low- and middle-income countries, where access to diabetes care remains a pressing concern. Case reports, observational studies, and public health strategies tailored to diverse populations are welcomed and encouraged.

We support publication of data that reflects:

Cultural and dietary considerations in diabetes prevention.

Socioeconomic determinants of health.

Regional treatment barriers and innovations.

Community-based care models and outreach initiatives.

This inclusive approach allows the journal to contribute meaningfully to public health planning, resource allocation, and evidence-based policy formulation across different healthcare settings.

Bridging Research and Clinical Practice

One of the core missions of the journal is to close the gap between academic research and day-to-day clinical practice. By doing so, we help translate experimental findings and theoretical advances into clinical tools that support healthcare providers in offering personalized, timely, and effective care to their patients. We welcome:

Practice-based research.

Protocol development articles.

Clinical guidelines and audit findings.

Quality improvement reports.

This applied focus ensures the content remains highly practical for physicians, endocrinologists, diabetologists, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and healthcare managers.

Emphasis on Preventive Strategies and Public Education

Prevention is at the heart of diabetes control. We strongly support the publication of research and commentary on public education campaigns, school-based interventions, government-led screening programs, and digital health literacy efforts. By expanding the understanding of risk factors and enabling behavior change, such efforts play a crucial role in reversing the global diabetes epidemic.

Our journal highlights:

Health communication strategies.

Risk reduction models.

Population-based interventions.

Community empowerment initiatives.

These topics align with the growing demand for preventive endocrinology and population health integration into diabetes care.
