Society for Endocrinology - a world-leading authority on hormones

Journal awards

To distinguish excellence in endocrine research and practice by recognising authors for their contribution to the wider biomedical and biological sciences field. 

Up to five awards are presented annually at the SfE BES conference to the authors of the highest ranked papers selected by the Editorial Board and which are published in Journal of Endocrinology, Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, Endocrine-Related Cancer, Clinical Endocrinology and Endocrine Connections

 

Journal of Endocrinology’s focus is on endocrine physiology and metabolism, including hormone secretion, hormone action and biological effects. The journal considers basic and translational studies at the organ, tissue and whole organism level.
