The volume of islet research has been steadily increasing over the years. Every year nearly 2000 papers that directly (or indirectly) examine the Islets of Langerhans are published in over 50 different journals. It is now the time to create a forum that is dedicated to the critical understanding of the Islets of Langerhans. The goal is to foster communication and a rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results. Islets will provide a platform for scientists, clinical researchers and physicians alike. It will keep investigators updated and enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest developments in the many topics pertaining to these microorgans.

Islets is published bi-monthly both in print and online. Original reports are published as full-length reports or brief communications. Solicited and submitted reviews, addenda of papers published in other journals and timely commentaries on important developments are also published. All manuscripts are subjected to peer-review by at least two referees with expertise in islet research. Accepted manuscripts will be made available on the journal’s web site immediately.

The online submission and tracking system is designed to provide efficient service to authors. Through the online system, authors files are automatically converted to PDFs, submissions are acknowledged by email, and authors can track their manuscripts through the stages of peer review process.
