Applied and Basic Obesity, Diabetes and Endocrinology
A peer-reviewed, open-access journal jointly published by SSC and TRICED, and hosted on the Aakashganga Open platform. It advances scientific and clinical understanding across obesity, diabetes, and endocrinology—bringing fundamental research with real-world clinical application across diverse global contexts.
ABODE publishes original high-impact research, reviews, and scholarly work that illuminate the biological, clinical, behavioural, societal and public-health dimensions of obesity, diabetes, and endocrine disorders. The journal's mission is to integrate insights from bench science, clinical practice, epidemiology, and population health into a shared, openly accessible knowledge space that supports better patient outcomes and stronger public-health strategies.
This journal is built to be inclusive and transparent—readable by all, compliant with international accessibility standards, and equipped to give accurate, verifiable credit to every author and contributor.
Committed to the highest standards of ethical and transparent research, ABODE follows COPE, ICMJE, and EQUATOR guidelines.
Led by clinician-scientists and researchers dedicated to timely, expert, and developmental evaluation of manuscripts.
Fully open access (CC BY 4.0), indexed with CrossRef DOIs, discoverable through Google Scholar, Open Alex indexes and supported by JATS XML and schema.org metadata.
The journal encourages responsible data, code, and materials sharing to strengthen the reliability, validation, and reuse of research findings.
Our mission is to advance knowledge at the Intersection of Obesity, Endocrinology & Diabetes. ABODE is dedicated to advancing scientific understanding and improving clinical and public-health approaches to metabolic and endocrine diseases.
With a strongly global perspective—and a particular commitment to research emerging from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)—ABODE supports innovations that are equitable, affordable, and scalable. The journal values methodological rigor, complete reporting, and reproducibility across all study types, from mechanistic biology to implementation research.
ABODE aims to serve as the central scholarly forum where biological discovery, clinical innovation, and population-health strategies converge to reshape the future of metabolic and endocrine care.
Hormonal regulation, insulin signalling, adipose biology, genetics, and environmental determinants of metabolic dysfunction.
Diagnostics, therapeutics, disease-management strategies, and real-world effectiveness across diverse populations.
Evidence-based approaches to diet, physical activity, behavioural science, and long-term risk reduction.
Digital health, wearables, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and computational or systems-biology approaches.
Systems-level interventions, implementation science, and strategies addressing global metabolic-health challenges.
Locally led studies addressing unique epidemiological patterns, resource-constrained delivery models, and context-specific innovations.
