Aims and Scope
Aims:
WebLog Journal of Thyroid Research is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to thyroid and parathyroid science across basic endocrinology, clinical medicine, and translational therapeutics. The journal publishes evidence that improves diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment planning, and long-term outcomes in thyroid disorders across diverse populations.
The scope includes hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, autoimmune thyroid disease, nodular thyroid disease, thyroid cancer, congenital thyroid disorders, and endocrine-metabolic interactions of thyroid dysfunction. Submissions that link molecular mechanisms with clinically actionable management pathways are strongly encouraged.
Priority domains include thyroid function testing strategies, imaging and cytology correlation, molecular profiling of thyroid nodules, surgical and non-surgical treatment outcomes, radioactive iodine protocols, and survivorship care after differentiated and aggressive thyroid malignancies.
The journal also welcomes research in pregnancy-related thyroid disorders, pediatric thyroid disease, iodine nutrition, environmental endocrine disruptors, and quality-of-life outcomes in chronic thyroid conditions. Comparative effectiveness studies and real-world endocrine care data are highly relevant.
Authors benefit from a rapid and transparent editorial process, with first decision typically within 21 days and publication generally within 7-10 days after acceptance. Articles are published under a Creative Commons license, assigned a permanent DOI, and disseminated through major scholarly channels including OpenAIRE and Google Scholar, with long-term archival preservation in Zenodo and QR-enabled article access.
Accepted article types include Research Article, Review Article, Systematic Review, Short Communication, Case Report, Clinical Image, Editorial, Perspective, and Letter to the Editor. All submissions are handled through a robust expert-led review pathway to ensure scientific integrity, methodological rigor, and practical relevance for thyroid researchers and clinicians.
Scope:
WebLog Journal of Thyroid Research widely accepts manuscripts in the following areas, but is not limited to:
