Peer reviewed open access journal
Scope Alignment
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.
JBD reviewers evaluate methodological rigor, data transparency, and clinical relevance in diabetes bioinformatics submissions. Reviews should be constructive, evidence based, and focused on improving the manuscript.
- Clear research question and scope alignment
- Transparent data provenance and preprocessing
- Appropriate computational methods and validation
- Interpretation aligned with diabetes outcomes
- Reproducibility and data sharing considerations
Assess Scope
