Journal of Diabetes & Clinical Practice
Open Access

Dear Readers, I am pleased to mention that during the year 2019, all issues of volume 4 were published online well within the time and the print issues were also brought out and dispatched within 30 days of publishing the issue online. JCO during this year also brought out a supplement to March 2020 issue, which consisted of 4 abstracts of “Market Analysis on 9th European Congress on Obesity and Eating Disorders”. During the calendar year 2019, JCO received a total of 21 papers, out of which 4 articles were rejected in the preliminary screening due to plagiarism or being out of the format. During 2019 articles were subjected to the peer-review process and 18 of those were accepted. Average publication lag time of an article was to 6-8 weeks. I take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of “Amarjeet Singh” Journal Editorial Board Member during the final editing of articles published and the support rendered by the editorial assistant, Emmanuel S. Jeffrey in bringing out issues of Journal of Childhood Obesity in time. I would also like to express my gratitude to all the authors, reviewers, the publisher, the advisory and the editorial board of JCO, the office bearers and staff of secretariat for their support in bringing out yet another volume of JCO and look forward to their unrelenting support to bring out the Volume 5 of IJPS in scheduled time.
