HORMONE AND METABOLIC RESEARCH

Hormone and Metabolic Research is a peer-reviewed, monthly international journal published by Georg Thieme Verlag in Stuttgart, Germany, dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of endocrinology and metabolic physiology. With an ISSN of 0018-5043, the journal serves as a platform for both clinical and basic research, focusing extensively on hormone physiology, metabolic regulation, and the molecular mechanisms underlying endocrine disorders. Its scope prominently features high-impact topics such as diabetes, obesity, and thyroid diseases, catering to a global audience of researchers and clinicians interested in these areas. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the publication maintains a stable impact factor typically ranging between 2 and 3, and is generally classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking for medical and endocrine/metabolic categories. As a subscription-based journal rather than an open-access publication, it offers a rigorous review process and consistent quality, making it a suitable venue for researchers seeking a reliable outlet for their work without the intense competition associated with top-tier high-impact journals.
