Priority Topics We Encourage

Research Focus

Early Detection Pathways

JPAN prioritizes manuscripts addressing early pancreatic disease detection, risk stratification models, and biomarker validation with clinical utility. We welcome studies that connect laboratory findings with diagnostic workflow decisions and demonstrate practical relevance for real world referral, triage, and treatment planning environments.

Translational Therapeutics

Submissions on targeted interventions, combination treatment strategy, perioperative optimization, and supportive care are strongly encouraged when methods are rigorous and endpoints are clinically meaningful. Manuscripts that bridge bench science and patient outcomes support our mission to publish evidence that can influence treatment standards.

Health Systems And Access

We also invite implementation studies on access inequity, care coordination, and service pathway redesign in pancreatic medicine. High value submissions connect policy context with measurable outcomes and provide transferable insights that can improve quality, speed, and continuity of care across diverse health systems.

Why Publish This Call Cycle

Strategic Timing

Faster Research Positioning

Timely publication can shape ongoing discourse when treatment recommendations and evidence frameworks are rapidly evolving. Submitting now positions your group as an active contributor during decision windows that matter to clinicians, researchers, funders, and guideline development teams.

Global Open Access Reach

JPAN open access publication increases audience diversity by removing subscription barriers for clinical teams, trainee researchers, and institutions in resource constrained settings. This broader reach supports meaningful citation growth and improves opportunities for multicenter collaboration on high impact pancreatic questions.

Editorial Partnership Quality

Authors benefit from clear communication, structured review guidance, and transparent revision expectations. Our editorial objective is not only acceptance decisions, but also stronger manuscript quality and sharper scientific positioning so published work performs well in search, citation, and practice translation contexts.
