Advancing Chronic Disease Research and Patient Care
Join the Journal of Current Chronic Diseases (JCD) for priority publication and global visibility in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, COPD, kidney disease, and multimorbidity research. As chronic conditions become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, the need for rigorous, actionable research has never been greater. JCD serves as the premier platform for investigators advancing our understanding of disease mechanisms, developing innovative treatments, and improving healthcare delivery for the hundreds of millions of patients living with chronic conditions globally. Our interdisciplinary community includes clinical researchers, epidemiologists, health services researchers, and implementation scientists working together to close the gap between evidence and practice in chronic disease management. Connect with clinicians and researchers working to improve outcomes for the growing chronic disease population.

Chronic Conditions We Cover
Epidemiological Excellence
JCD publishes population-based research examining chronic disease prevalence, risk factors, and trends. We emphasize methodologically rigorous cohort studies, registry analyses, and surveillance data that inform public health policy and resource allocation for chronic disease prevention and management programs.
Implementation Science
Closing the gap between evidence and practice is a JCD priority. We welcome research on guideline implementation, quality improvement interventions, care coordination models, and health system innovations that translate clinical evidence into improved outcomes for chronic disease patients.
Patient-Centered Outcomes
Chronic disease affects quality of life, functional status, and daily living. JCD prioritizes research incorporating patient-reported outcomes, shared decision-making, and self-management support. We value perspectives of patients living with chronic conditions in shaping research priorities.
Therapeutic Advances
From novel pharmacological agents to digital health interventions, JCD publishes research advancing chronic disease treatment. We emphasize comparative effectiveness, real-world evidence, and long-term outcome data that inform clinical decision-making and treatment guidelines.
JCD maintains strict editorial independence. All submissions undergo rigorous double-blind peer review regardless of membership tier. Membership facilitates Open Access publication logistics but never influences scientific evaluation. This unwavering commitment ensures the JCD seal of approval remains a trusted mark of research quality in chronic disease science. Our expert reviewers evaluate manuscripts for methodological rigor, clinical relevance, and potential to improve patient outcomes across global healthcare systems.
Shape Chronic Disease Research
Editorial Board
Join our editorial team to shape JCD direction. Handle manuscripts in your specialty, whether diabetes care, cardiovascular prevention, or multimorbidity management, and contribute to maintaining rigorous scientific standards.
Special Issue Leadership
Propose and edit thematic collections on emerging topics from telemedicine for chronic disease to precision medicine approaches, health equity, and novel therapeutic targets in metabolic disease.
Excellence in Chronic Disease Science
Interdisciplinary Approach
Chronic disease management requires integration of multiple specialties. JCD serves as a nexus for endocrinologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, nephrologists, and primary care physicians to share evidence and best practices. Our editorial board ensures manuscripts are accessible across disciplines while maintaining scientific rigor.
Global Health Perspective
Chronic diseases affect populations worldwide with varying healthcare system contexts. JCD welcomes research from diverse settings, recognizing that solutions must be adaptable to different resource environments. We prioritize scalable interventions applicable across healthcare systems globally.
Methodological Standards
We require rigorous methodology reporting including study design justification, sample size calculations, validated outcome measures, and appropriate statistical analyses. JCD reviewers evaluate manuscripts for internal validity, generalizability, and clinical applicability to ensure published research advances chronic disease care.
Prevention Focus
While treatment advances are essential, prevention remains paramount. JCD emphasizes research on risk factor modification, screening strategies, lifestyle interventions, and early detection approaches that can reduce chronic disease burden and improve population health outcomes across the lifespan.
The Journal of Current Chronic Diseases has established itself as a vital platform for researchers and clinicians dedicated to improving outcomes for patients living with long-term health conditions. Whether you investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression, develop and test new therapeutic interventions, examine healthcare delivery models, or explore the social determinants affecting chronic disease populations, JCD provides the platform and scholarly community to amplify your research impact and advance patient care worldwide.
