About the Journal of Diseases
The Journal of Diseases (JD) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes research on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases across clinical, translational and public health research. It has been published by Open Access Pub since 2018.
Purpose and readership
Evidence on human disease, from mechanism to management
JD serves researchers, clinicians, laboratory scientists, public health practitioners and educators who need sound evidence on why disease occurs and how it can be recognized, treated and prevented.
JD considers research on any human disease. The journal groups its scope like the index of a clinical reference: infectious, chronic, genetic and hereditary, immunological, cancer, rare and orphan, congenital, and environmental and occupational diseases. These groups are illustrative and form part of a wider field, and work that crosses several groups is welcome.
The journal welcomes clinical, laboratory, translational and population studies from every region and health-care setting. The Aims and Scope page describes the research areas, study designs and eligibility in full.

Editorial Board
Editors across disease research
Clinical and laboratory medicine and related fields
Editorial responsibility
The Editorial Board advises on the journal's scope and policies, and its members handle manuscripts within their expertise. Editors with a conflict of interest are recused from handling the manuscript.
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They are independent of the article processing charge and of any fee-relief inquiry.
Peer review
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. The full process is set out in the Editorial Policies.
