The Endocrine Society has launched a new open access publication, the Journal of the Endocrine Society — the organization’s first new journal in nearly 30 years, according to a press release.
The Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES) will be an online-only publication open to noncommercial use and will include original research, reports, mini-reviews, commentaries, tools and methods, datasets and other innovative contributions, according to the release.
The open access format allows the journal to publish research without being constrained by the page limitations of a print journal. The digital access will be available through Oxford University Press, like Endocrine Society other journals.
“Going forward, JES will undoubtedly play a central role in the dissemination of research and knowledge in our field,” J. Larry Jameson, MD, PhD, Endocrine Society past-president, JES’s editor-in-chief, executive vice president of the University of Pennsylvania for the Health System and dean of the Perelman School of Medicine, said in the release. “Publishing is rapidly transitioning from bound journals delivered by mail to online sources of information.”
The first issue of JES is available now.
