Springer, part of Springer Nature and a global scientific, technical and medical portfolio, and the Hellenic Endocrine Society have signed a three-year agreement to publish the quarterly journal Hormones: International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism. Starting in March 2018 with volume 17, the journal will be available exclusively in electronic format on the platform SpringerLink. Previously the journal was published by the Hellenic Endocrine Society.
Founded in 2002 as the official journal of the Hellenic Endocrine Society, Hormones is an international journal that covers all fields of endocrinology and metabolic disorders such as the disruption of glucose homeostasis (diabetes mellitus), impaired homeostasis of plasma lipids (dyslipidemia), the disorder of bone metabolism (osteoporosis), disturbances of endocrine function and the reproductive capacity of women and men. The target readership and authorship are endocrinologists, both in clinical practice and research.
Invited for submission are original research articles, literature reviews, translational research, editorial commentaries on published papers and letters to the editor on crucial new developments in the field. Contributions on the history of endocrinology are also considered.
Many developments are planned for the journal, including a new cover design, and updated article style and layout. Professor Andrew N. Margioris of the University Hospital of Heraklion in Crete, Greece leads the journal as the editor-in-chief and has already undertaken a restructuring of the editorial board to allocate each associate editor the responsibility of a specific sub-discipline.
