About the journal
The field of lipidology research is on the cusp of major advances that will impact the health community in numerous ways. Recent studies demonstrating that an elevated LDL-C level significantly contributes to the development of coronary heart disease indicate that the impact of lipid-related illnesses is set to impose a huge burden on healthcare in the coming years, thus the development of novel LDL-C lowering therapies is essential.
The emerging field of HDL-based therapeutics is proving to be an important area of study, with a number of compounds currently in clinical trials. Research into the molecular biology of lipid disorders, such as dyslipidemia, lipid transport disorders and the role of genetic inheritance (e.g., in the case of familial hypercholesterolemia) is more important today than ever before. An expanding area of research is the use of liposomes for the targeted delivery of drugs or therapeutic genes for the treatment of diseases such as cancer.
In the light of development of an extensive range of statin therapies, Clinical Lipidology aims to provide a forum for new clinical findings, therapeutic overviews of optimal treatment strategies and commentary on future trends, including combination strategies, as well as cutting edge translational research, and will provide the increasingly time-constrained scientific community with an accessible and definitive resource covering all aspects of lipids in health and disease. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative, but accessible, forum for this increasingly important area of research.
Coverage includes:
- Obesity and the metabolic syndrome
- Related cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis
- Treatment of lipid-related disorders
- Reviews of more established drugs and their use in new dosing regimens and combinations
- Cost-effectiveness of therapeutics
- Side effects of lipid-lowering medication
- Preventive medicine
- Dietary prevention
- Summaries of newly approved therapeutic agents
- Results of recent clinical trials relevant to the field of lipidology
- Diagnostic and clinical criteria
- Research in emerging areas such as the use of liposomes for drug delivery and gene therapy
Clinical Lipidology delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats to provide an accessible forum for the lipidology community.
Instructions to Authors
Editorial policy
Future Medicine titles endorse the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by the International Committee for Medical Journal Editors, and Code of Conduct for Editors of Biomedical Journals, produced by the Committee on Publication Ethics. Our full Editorial Policy can be found in the Author Guidelines.
Manuscript submission & processing
Future Medicine titles publish solicited and unsolicited articles. Receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged within 1 week and authors will be notified as to whether the article is to progress to external review. Initial screening of articles by internal editorial staff will assess the topicality and importance of the subject, the clarity of presentation, and relevance to the audience of the journal in question.
If you are interested in submitting an article, or have any queries regarding article submission, please contact the Managing Commissioning Editor for the journal (see Contact Us). For new article proposals, the Managing Commissioning Editor will require a brief article outline and working title in the first instance. We also have an active commissioning program whereby the Commissioning Editor, under guidance from the Editorial Advisory Panel, solicits articles directly for publication.
External peer review
Through a rigorous peer review process, our titles aim to ensure that articles are unbiased, scientifically accurate and clinically relevant. All articles are peer reviewed by three or more members of the International Advisory Board or other specialists selected on the basis of experience and expertise. Review is performed on a double-blind basis 鈥?the identities of peer reviewers and authors are kept confidential. Peer reviewers must disclose potential conflicts of interests that may affect their ability to provide an unbiased appraisal (see Conflict of Interest Policy below). Peer reviewers complete a referee report form, to provide general comments to the editor and both general and specific comments to the author(s).
Where an author believes that an editor has made an error in declining a paper, they may submit an appeal. The appeal letter should clearly state the reasons why the author(s) considers the decision to be incorrect and provide detailed, specific responses to any comments relating to the rejection of the article. Further advice from members of the journal鈥檚 Editorial Advisory Panel external experts will be sought regarding eligibility for re-review.
Revision
Most manuscripts require some degree of revision prior to acceptance. Authors should provide two copies of the revised manuscript 鈥?one of which should be highlighted to show where changes have been made. Detailed responses to reviewers鈥?comments, in a covering letter/email, are also required. Manuscripts may be accepted at this point or may be subject to further peer review. The final decision on acceptability for publication lies with the journal editor.
Post-acceptance
Accepted manuscripts are edited by the in-house editorial team. Authors will receive proofs of their article for approval and sign-off and will be asked to sign a transfer of copyright agreement, except in circumstances where the author is ineligible to do so (e.g. government employees in certain countries).
Self-archive policy
Our self-archiving policies are set out below. These differ according to the copyright status of the article. Authors should adopt the self-archiving policy corresponding to the publishing route that they have opted for. The first section sets out the policy applicable for instances where copyright is assigned to the publisher. The subsequent section explains the rights applicable where an author has chosen the open access option.

Three months after publication, and subject to appropriate acknowledgment of the journal and full bibliographic reference for an article, authors may post their version of the article on a personal website. Twelve months after publication, and subject to appropriate acknowledgment of the journal and full bibliographic reference for an article, authors may post their version of the article on a personal website, their employer鈥檚 website or on free public servers in their subject area.
