The Review of Diabetic Studies (RDS) is the society's peer-reviewed journal published quarterly. The purpose of The RDS is to support and encourage research in biomedical diabetes-related science including areas such as endocrinology, immunology, epidemiology, genetics, cell-based research, developmental research, bioengineering and disease management. The journal publishes original manuscripts on laboratory research, clinical and empirical studies, case and conference reports as well as review and theoretical articles and offers an open forum for immediate discussion of recent advancements by letters and comments. More information for authors can be found here.
|
The journal supports a fast review process. 95% of all reviews are returned to authors within 2-3 weeks after paper submission.
|
Statistics about paper acceptance and rejection:
The 2010 rejection rate is: 83.7%
Responsibility for the selection of articles in The RDS remains with the Editorial Board. However, the editors do not assume responsibility for the views and statements expressed by the authors.
The RDS is also available online via DOD (Diabetes Open Directory), a database containing information and publications from diabetes-related biomedical research which is currently in its beta stage.
* 2-yr Citation Factor (CF), also known as Impact
Factor, is the avarage citation frequency of articles published in The Review of
Diabetic Studies. The 2011 CF is
calculated by dividing the number of citations in 2011 to articles published in 2009 and
2010 by the number of articles published in these two years (2009 and 2010). It is calculated
exactly in the same way as the impact factor by Thomson Reuters
‡ The 2-yr Weighted Citation Factor (WCF) includes the relation of
citations to the number of published articles in the previous
two years, and the impacts of journals in which the citations took place.
This means that a citation in a journal with a CF higher than the average CF over
all journals (e.g. 1.852 in 2006) increases the WCF
et vice versa. If, for example, the factor is 2, then the citations took place in
journals with a CF 2 times higher than the average CF over all journals (= 3.704 in 2006).
In this case, the WCF is exactly two times higher than the simple
CF. The factor represents the citation quality. The calculation rule is: WCF = (total times of citations x (((times of
citations in journal 1 x CF1) + ... + (times of citations in
journal n x CFn)) divided by (total times of citations x average CF)))
divided by (number of articles published in previous three years).
§ The Immediate Citation Factor (ICF) indicates
the level of citations to articles published in the same year. The calculation rule is:
ICF = times of citations in the reported year to articles published in the same
year divided by the number of articles published in this year.
