Editorial Leadership & Governance

The Journal of Diabesity is led by an experienced and internationally diverse editorial board comprising academic physicians, clinician-scientists, and subject experts in internal medicine, endocrinology, metabolic health, neurology, acute medicine, and public health.

Our editorial leadership ensures that all manuscripts undergo a rigorous, fair, and transparent peer-review process in accordance with international scholarly publishing standards.

The journal maintains clear editorial independence. Editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

All editorial board members have formally consented to serve in their respective roles and are actively involved in peer review, policy development, and strategic direction of the journal.

The Journal adheres to:

ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals
COPE Core Practices in Publication Ethics
International standards for research integrity and transparency
