Diseases invites original research, comprehensive reviews, and compelling clinical reports addressing the full spectrum of human diseases affecting populations worldwide. Our open access model ensures your findings reach the global research community without subscription barriers or access limitations, maximizing scientific impact and accelerating progress toward improved disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
We welcome submissions from researchers, clinicians, epidemiologists, and public health professionals worldwide who share our commitment to rigorous science and open knowledge sharing. Whether you are investigating novel pathogens, developing new diagnostics, evaluating therapeutic interventions, or analyzing population health trends, Diseases provides a platform for disseminating your important findings.
Journal Scope
Diseases publishes peer-reviewed research covering infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurological conditions, oncology, and emerging health threats requiring immediate scientific attention. We particularly emphasize translational research bridging basic science discoveries with clinical applications that improve patient outcomes. Both experimental laboratory studies and clinical investigations are welcome, including epidemiological surveillance studies, diagnostic innovation development, therapeutic intervention trials, and public health policy evaluations.
Infectious Diseases
Bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections affecting human populations. Antimicrobial resistance emergence and spread patterns. Vaccine development strategies and immunization program evaluation. Hospital-acquired infections, infection control measures, and outbreak investigations.
Autoimmune and Inflammatory
Rheumatic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. Multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating disorders. Immunopathogenesis mechanisms underlying autoimmunity and targeted therapeutic approaches.
Metabolic and Cardiovascular
Type one and type two diabetes mellitus management and complications. Obesity-related metabolic conditions and intervention strategies. Lipid disorders and atherosclerosis progression. Hypertension management and cardiovascular risk factor modification approaches.
Emerging and Rare Diseases
Novel pathogen identification and characterization. Outbreak investigations and epidemiological analyses. Orphan diseases affecting small populations with limited treatment options. Undiagnosed conditions and diagnostic odyssey research. Pandemic preparedness and global health security.
Priority Research Topics
We particularly encourage submissions addressing current research priorities where scientific advancement is urgently needed. Manuscripts tackling pressing clinical questions, introducing innovative methodological approaches, or investigating underserved research areas receive enhanced editorial attention and expedited processing when feasible. The following topics represent current priority areas, though high-quality submissions outside these specific themes are equally welcome and receive full consideration.
Article Types Welcomed
Diseases accepts multiple article formats enabling researchers to share findings in the most appropriate structure for their work. Each format serves distinct purposes within scientific communication, and authors should select types matching their contribution's nature and scope.
Original Research Articles
Full-length manuscripts presenting novel findings from laboratory experiments, clinical studies, or epidemiological investigations. Manuscripts should include comprehensive methodology enabling replication and present original data analysis supporting stated conclusions.
Review Articles
Comprehensive syntheses of current knowledge on specific disease topics written by experts in the field. Both narrative reviews providing broad overviews and systematic reviews with quantitative meta-analyses following PRISMA guidelines are welcome.
Case Reports and Series
Detailed presentations of unusual cases, rare diseases, or unexpected treatment responses offering significant clinical learning value. Case series presenting multiple related cases demonstrating patterns are particularly valued when they advance understanding of disease presentation or management.
Brief Communications
Concise reports of preliminary findings, focused technical innovations, or targeted investigations requiring rapid dissemination. Ideal for time-sensitive results, negative findings of importance, or methodological notes benefiting from quick publication.
Why Publish With Diseases
Authors choosing Diseases benefit from rigorous peer review conducted by recognized experts in disease research, competitive publication timelines enabling timely dissemination, and global visibility through open access distribution reaching readers worldwide without barriers. Our experienced editorial team includes specialists across disease categories ensuring informed and fair manuscript evaluation based on scientific merit.
Published articles receive Digital Object Identifier registration through Crossref enabling permanent citation linking, comprehensive indexing across major academic databases maximizing discoverability, and perpetual digital preservation guaranteeing long-term accessibility for the global research community.
Fast-Track Review: Manuscripts addressing urgent public health topics or presenting time-sensitive findings may qualify for expedited peer review processing. Indicate fast-track request in your cover letter with clear justification explaining why priority consideration is warranted for your submission.
Pre-Submission Inquiries: Authors uncertain whether their manuscript fits our scope are welcome to submit brief pre-submission inquiries describing their research. Editorial staff will respond within five business days with guidance on suitability and suggested article types.
Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts should follow standard scientific format with structured abstract, introduction establishing context and objectives, detailed methods enabling replication, clearly presented results, discussion interpreting findings and acknowledging limitations, and properly formatted references using Vancouver style. Original research involving human subjects or animals requires documentation of appropriate ethics approval from institutional review boards or equivalent committees.
We accept submissions through our online manuscript management system offering comprehensive tracking and communication features, or via direct email submission for authors preferring simpler processes. Both pathways receive equivalent editorial consideration and identical processing standards ensuring fair evaluation regardless of submission method.
