The PLAID Journal is partnering with JDRF to promote diabetes education, awareness, support programs and research to deliver a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.
PLAID is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication of Florida State University, the FSU College of Medicine and the Charlotte Edwards Maguire Medical Library. JDRF is the world's largest nonprofit funder of type 1 diabetes research.
PLAID and JDRF plan to work together to:
- Promote academic literature that focuses on living well with diabetes and is translatable to researchers, clinicians, health-care professionals and people living with diabetes.
- Provide content that makes a positive and practical difference without high subscription costs and exorbitant author fees.
- Promote the JDRF brand and programs via the PLAID website and associated publications.
- Provide peer review and publishing priority to JDRF-funded research manuscripts matching the scope of PLAID.
- Feature the JDRF brand and research initiatives on the PLAID website and promotional materials.
“I am very excited about the partnership between The PLAID Journal and JDRF, “ said Editor-in-Chief Martin Wood. “Together, we will be able to make a positive impact on the lives of people living with diabetes, and provide JDRF-funded researchers with a path to publication where their work can make a significant difference.”
