Methodology articles
The Editorial Board of EJE understands the many challenges clinical and translational researchers face when trying to bring their research to publication. To address this, and to support our global endocrine community, the Editorial Board is continually commissioning a series of editorials aimed at improving key aspects of scientific methodology.
By learning from these editorials, implementing the recommendations and avoiding the common mistakes that many researchers make, you best place yourself to produce research of the highest quality and soundness of science.
This collection represents a valuable opportunity to further your research, increase its scientific quality and ultimately improve your chances of citation.
