Publish Research That Advances Chronic Disease Care
Journal of Current Chronic Diseases (JCD) invites rigorous studies, reviews, and clinical evidence that improve prevention, diagnosis, and management of long term conditions. We welcome work that delivers actionable insights for clinicians, health systems, and policy leaders addressing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, COPD, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and multimorbidity. Submit research that strengthens prevention strategies and improves long term adherence.
Evidence That Improves Chronic Care
JCD prioritizes research that advances patient outcomes, reduces complications, and strengthens health system response to chronic disease. We value translational science, clinical effectiveness, and population level impact.
Where We Need New Evidence
Submit work that closes evidence gaps and informs clinical practice, guidelines, and policy decisions for chronic disease management.
We also welcome cross disciplinary research linking chronic disease with mental health, aging, and social determinants. Studies evaluating care delivery models across diverse health systems and resource settings are strongly encouraged.
Article Types Welcomed
We publish original research, systematic reviews, clinical trials, meta analyses, brief reports, and case studies that inform chronic disease practice. We also welcome implementation science, quality improvement studies, pragmatic trials, and health services research that influences care delivery.
Submissions should demonstrate clear clinical relevance, robust methods, and responsible reporting. Studies that include policy implications or guideline readiness are especially valued.
What We Prioritize
JCD favors studies with strong design, defined outcomes, and practical relevance. We encourage work that addresses implementation challenges, real world effectiveness, and impact on patient quality of life.
Research that integrates behavioral science, digital tools, or community based interventions can help translate findings into measurable improvements in chronic disease management.
Make Your Manuscript Competitive
Successful submissions connect clinical questions to measurable outcomes and present reproducible methods that clinicians can trust.
- Define disease population, stage, and comorbidities with clarity.
- Report clinically meaningful endpoints and time horizons.
- Describe intervention intensity, dosage, and care pathways.
- Provide subgroup analyses when disparities are central to the question.
- Include adherence, persistence, or behavioral context when relevant.
- Report statistical power, confounder control, and sensitivity analysis.
- Align findings to guideline implications and practice readiness.
- Include data availability statements and ethical approvals.
- Describe implementation barriers and facilitators for real world use.
Visibility for Chronic Disease Impact
Publishing in JCD expands reach to clinicians, healthcare leaders, and policy decision makers who shape chronic disease care delivery.
Clinical and Policy Reach
Open Access ensures your findings are visible to hospital systems, primary care networks, and public health agencies. This helps evidence move into clinical practice guidelines and population health strategies.
Credible Editorial Standards
Our editorial board applies strict peer review and ethics screening to strengthen the trustworthiness of published research. This improves citation performance and decision maker confidence.
Lead Focused Research Collections
JCD welcomes themed special issues that address urgent chronic disease challenges, emerging therapies, or high burden populations.
Propose a Topic
Submit proposals that define scope, guest editors, and target communities. Successful proposals should highlight unmet clinical needs, recent evidence gaps, and the potential for practice change.
Accelerate Collaboration
Special issues attract coordinated submissions from multi center networks, registries, and clinical research teams, enabling focused visibility for high impact chronic disease work.
Transparency We Expect
Clear reporting improves reproducibility and strengthens clinical uptake. We encourage authors to document methods thoroughly and support responsible data reuse when possible.
- State ethics approvals, consent, and oversight requirements.
- Describe data sources, registries, and eligibility criteria.
- Report intervention fidelity and adherence measures.
- Include baseline comparability and missing data handling.
- Use established reporting standards relevant to study design.
- Provide data availability statements and repository links.
- Clarify adverse event monitoring and safety outcomes.
- Explain how findings translate to chronic disease practice.
Efficient Editorial Process
Our workflow is designed to deliver timely decisions while maintaining rigorous peer review standards.
Initial Editorial Screening
We verify scope fit, ethics documentation, and reporting completeness. Manuscripts aligned with chronic disease priorities move quickly to peer review.
Double Blind Peer Review
