Bioinformatics, computational genomics, multi-omics integration, systems biology, clinical informatics, and data driven insights for diabetes and metabolic disease. We prioritize reproducible analytics.
Publishing Model
Open access, single blind peer review, and rapid publication after acceptance and production checks. Metadata validation and DOI registration are included.
Authors submitting to a special issue should review the thematic scope and follow JBD submission standards. Special issues follow the same peer review and production workflow as regular submissions.
- Confirm scope fit with the special issue theme
- Prepare data and code availability statements
- Document diabetes phenotype definitions and cohorts
- Ensure figures and tables are publication ready
- Prepare a cover letter referencing the special issue

Peer Review
Single blind review by subject experts.
Decision
Receive editorial decision and revision guidance.
Clearly indicate the special issue title in the cover letter and manuscript metadata. This helps editors route the submission to the correct guest editor team.
All special issue submissions undergo initial screening for scope fit, ethical compliance, and data transparency. Submissions that do not align with the theme may be redirected to the regular journal track.
Are review timelines different?
Timelines are similar, but guest editors may coordinate scheduling.
Can I submit a regular paper to a special issue?
Yes, if it aligns with the theme.
What if the issue is full?
The editorial office will advise on alternative options.
JBD is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in bioinformatics and diabetes research. We emphasize reproducible computational methods, clear data provenance, and ethical compliance across all article types.
The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].
We encourage continuous improvement in reporting practices and share updates that help the community maintain high standards in computational and translational diabetes research.
