How to submit to Diabetologia

Before preparing a paper, authors should consult a current issue of the Journal to ascertain the general format required, such as the use of sub-headings, layout of tables and citation of references. Manuscripts must be typed using a plain font (e.g. Times New Roman). Lines should be single spaced.

Prepare a covering letter
The covering letter is a key part of an Editor's appraisal of a paper. It should say why the study was done, what it showed and why it might be interesting to the readers of Diabetologia. In their covering letter authors should notify the Editor of any potentially overlapping papers in preparation, submission or published. Failure to disclose such information is considered grounds for automatic rejection.

Authors may submit manuscripts to Diabetologia online at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/diabetologia. Simple on-screen instructions are provided.
The Editorial Office will acknowledge receipt of all manuscripts by email.

If you are unable to submit online, a complete electronic version of the manuscript can be sent to the Editorial Office by e-mail: diabetologia-j@bristol.ac.uk
Please include a completed submission form.
The Editorial Office will acknowledge receipt of all manuscripts by email.

For both online and email submissions, please fax a completed author signed statement to +44(0)845 0582542 at the time of submission, or as soon afterwards as possible.
