About Islets

Islets is the first international, peer-reviewed research journal that will publish manuscripts on all aspects of clinical and experimental research into the physiology and pathology of the Islets of Langerhans and related topics. We are interested in manuscripts that report new information or insights into any aspects of these micro organs.

Every year nearly 2000 papers that directly (or indirectly) examine the Islets of Langerhans are published in over 50 different journals. It is now the time to create a forum dedicated to the critical understanding of the Islets of Langerhans. The goal is to foster communication and a rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional (print) as well as electronic formats (online). Islets will provide a platform for scientists, clinical researchers and physicians alike.

Categories of manuscripts include original research (full length and short communications), reviews, addenda of articles published in other journals, commentaries and meeting reports. All manuscripts are sent for in depth peer review, however, the editorial board will consider reviewer reports from submissions to leading journals such as Nature, Nature Medicine, Science, Cell, Cell Metabolism, JAMA, Diabetes, Transplantation and Lancet for accelerated review. Our goal is for Islets to become the leading journal in the field of islet research.
