Call for Papers for Special Issue on "Eating Disorder"
The Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JKACAP) calls for papers related to "Eating Disorder" (Section Editors: Hyung Jin Choi, MD, PhD; Department of Biomedical Sciences/Anatomy and Cell Biology, Seoul National University College of Medicine and Soon Beom Hong, MD, PhD; Department of Psychiatry, Seoul National University College of Medicine).
Eating disorders have a significant impact on public health, affecting millions of people across the globe and people of all ages and genders. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder can have severe physical and psychological consequences, including nutritional deficiencies, organ damage, and even death. These conditions also impose a substantial burden on healthcare systems and society. To address this expanding concern, researchers have utilized a variety of tools and methodologies, such as epidemiological studies, genetic analyses, neuroimaging techniques, and behavioral assessments. These research instruments help identify risk factors, underlying mechanisms, and potential interventions, ultimately contributing to the development of more effective eating disorder prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
In the current special issue, we are particularly interested in novel evidence and tools that can expand our research on eating disorders. Submissions of original articles, review articles, and case reports are welcomed to this issue. We are always open to submissions by scholars from worldwide regions and communities.
When submitting your manuscript, please select the article type "Special Article". Then you can find the checkbox "Eating Disorder". Please submit your manuscript no later than 1st Oct 2023. We would like to publish this issue on 1st Jan 2024.
