It has come to the Endocrine Society’s attention that an entity called Directive Publications is soliciting manuscript submissions and offering editorial board membership for a publication named “Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.” Directive Publications and this publication are not affiliated with or sanctioned by the Endocrine Society and our official journal, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism®, and we cannot verify the authenticity or accuracy of any information provided by it.
For reference, the Endocrine Society’s journal uses “The” and an ampersand (The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism®), whereas Directive Publication does not use “The” and uses “and” for the title of its publication (“Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism”). Please review all solicitations carefully.
Similar caution should be exercised for any solicitations to journal names resembling the Society’s other journals:
For more information about unsolicited contact by journals or publishers that are not affiliated with the Endocrine Society, see the information page at the Endocrine Society journals website. The Society welcomes submissions to its journals only on its official submission sites.
