What are the best journals for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism?

From a 17,782-venue index, the highest-ranked Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism journals include Endocrine Reviews, Cardiovascular Diabetology, The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Diabetes Care. The top 40 of 134 ranked venues are listed on this page; all 40 are Scimago Q1. Each shows its open-access status and indexing, and predatory venues are excluded.

How were these Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism journals ranked?

Journals are placed by two independent classifications, OpenAlex's and Scimago's, plus any documented corrections. A journal both place under Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism ranks ahead, within its Scimago quartile, of one only OpenAlex places there — because Scimago does not cover it, files it as Multidisciplinary, or files it under a neighbouring subject or only under a broad “(miscellaneous)” category (which counts as agreement when Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism is the journal's main OpenAlex subfield). By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, journals both sources place under Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism come first, then venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism come before those that list it second or third, and ties go to OpenAlex cites/paper over a 2-year window. A venue whose main subfield is unrelated to Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism — is listed after all the others. Cites/paper is a transparent citation rate, not a licensed Impact Factor, and journals flagged as predatory are excluded.

“Cites/paper” is the OpenAlex 2-year citation rate — a transparent signal, not a licensed Impact Factor. Many regional and open-access journals are strong but aren’t covered by Scimago, so they show “no Scimago quartile”; that’s a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.
