The Endocrine Society is pleased to announce a new initiative in furtherance of its commitment to supporting its global membership and serving endocrine research and clinical communities around the world, through its Global Endocrine Leadership Coalition (GELC).
The Endocrine Society is extending a benefit to GELC member organizations, previously available only to Endocrine Society members, allowing individual members of GELC societies to incur no fees — all page and color charges waived — to publish under a standard license in Endocrinology, the Society’s flagship basic science journal.
Endocrinology the flagship basic science journal of the Endocrine Society, publishes original research articles, mini-reviews, commentaries, brief reports, and technical resources, related with foundational, translational, and preclinical studies investigating endocrine and metabolic function in health and disease at the molecular, biochemical, cellular, genomic, comparative, organismal, and/or environmental levels.
Benefits to GELC Members to Publish in Endocrinology
Global Readership and Article-Level impact

High-Quality Peer Review
Our journal editors are vetted by the Society for their expertise and adherence to strict publishing standards. They ensure that all manuscripts receive consideration by thought leaders in the field, with rigorous attention to research integrity throughout the peer review and publication process. All Endocrine Society journals follow Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) standards.
Format Neutral Submission
New manuscripts may be submitted format neutral, as a single Word, RTF, or PDF file. Technical formatting such as reference layout and order of components is not scrutinized for compliance at this initial stage. If the required information is present (complete title page, all author information, abstract, full text, line numbering, figures and tables, references, etc.) the manuscript will be assessed solely on its scientific merit.
Efficient Turnaround
