We are pleased to announce that Endocrine Connections, an exciting new Open Access journal led by Dr Jens Sandahl Christiansen, will open for submissions on 19 March 2012.

Published as a joint venture between the European Society of Endocrinology and Society for Endocrinology, Endocrine Connections will be an important new journal in our field, with a particular focus on publishing the very best research that has relevance across the many disciplines that intersect with endocrinology, helping to stimulate cross-discipline collaboration.

Endocrine Connections will bridge research and practice and provide authors with the opportunity to share their work with the broader biomedical community. Visit www.endocrineconnections.com for the latest news on the journal's scope and the Editorial Board. Don't forget - submissions will open on 19 March 2012.
