About this journal
Aims and scope
Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention (EDJTP) is an internationally respected, peer-reviewed journal for clinicians, prevention specialists, and researchers in the field of eating disorders. Founded in 1993, EDJTP specializes in bridging the gap between science and practice with a focus on empirically sound, clinically applicable research.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
