Current Diabetes Reports
Current Diabetes Reports
The Current Reports journals were developed out of the recognition that specialists have increasing difficulty keeping up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their field. In Current Diabetes Reports, we aim to help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1. the views of experts on current advances in diabetes in a clear and readable form;
2. selections of the most important papers from the great wealth of original publications, annotated by experts
Division of the subject into sections
The subject of diabetes is divided into 16 major sections, each of which is reviewed once a year. Each issue contains up to three of the major sections, and the amount of space devoted to each section is related to its importance.
Selection of topics to be reviewed
Section Editors, who are major authorities in the field, are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission reviews from authorities on each topic that they have selected.
Reviews
Authors write short reviews in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that are most significant. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be the most important from all those published in their topic over the previous year. Papers chosen by a reviewer as being “of importance” or “of major importance” are clearly identified in the reference list at the end of each review.
Invited commentary
The Editor-in-Chief chooses a well-known figure in the field to contribute a brief commentary to accompany each issue. This commentary may be on any subject in the field of diabetes of interest to the writer.
Review of clinical trials
Section Editors write a short review of a few recently published clinical trials relevant to their section to draw the reader's attention to any very new developments not covered by the reviews.
