ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Obesity is a multidisciplinary forum for basic, clinical and applied studies of the biochemical, physiological, genetic, molecular, metabolic, nutritional, psychological and epidemiological aspects of obesity and related disorders.
Topics covered:
Molecular, cellular, animal, human experimental and clinical studies, which address issues related to the development and treatment of obesity, and the functional impairments associated with the obese state. The problems of obesity are multifactorial, and the International Journal of Obesity will expect to publish articles with biological, psychological, clinical, sociological and environmental approaches to these problems.
Due to the high volume of submissions that the Journal receives, the following manuscripts will be deemed low priority:
Simple prevalence studies involving a single country at a single time-point.
Studies that merely confirm established facts from previous publications and that contain little new information. For example, it is hard to justify publication space for studies that report obesity is associated with known health risks. Therefore, studies that replicate the findings of previously published papers will tend to have a lower priority. If similar data are already published, it will be critical for authors to explain the novelty of their manuscript in the covering letter to the editor
Those that involve co-morbidities of obesity (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular disease), without having obesity-specific components to them. Recent examples include manuscripts that look at associations between inflammatory markers and diabetes or cardiovascular disease. This information is clearly of medical relevance, but is not necessarily a high priority for a journal devoted to obesity research.
Those that report the absence of links between obesity and a specific genotype or polymorphism; it is possible that such a work could be considered in the form of a Short Communication, but a full manuscript is not justified.
Those that describe anthropometric indices of obesity that might correlate with plasma markers of co-morbidities, but do not include any data relating to outcome of the co-morbidities.
Retrospective studies, secondary analyses of data that arise from studies that were not primary concerned with obesity or body weight, or clinical “audits” (for example of surgical interventions) that were not designed as appropriately controlled clinical research interventions, unless there is particularly novel information presented that is of importance to the medical literature.
Those that claim to be pediatric articles but which do not deal specifically with children and adolescents up to the age of 18 years.
Case reports that do not describe a critical finding or major addition to the literature.
Clinical trials less than one year in duration – see further details below listed under ‘clinical trials’.
If authors wish to submit articles to the International Journal of Obesity in the above areas, they would need to state clearly in the covering letter and introduction to the manuscript what is novel and informative about the study and why it is a valuable addition to the scientific literature.
