Aims & Scope

Lifestyle Medicine is a quarterly peer-reviewed, open access, interdisciplinary journal providing a forum for all those interested in the rapidly growing specialty of lifestyle medicine.

The journal considers articles and reviews which focus on the clinical and scientific aspects of lifestyle medicine and its incorporation into clinical practice.

At Lifestyle Medicine, we aim to be a truly global forum for academically rigorous research, and we think that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible.

We advocate the principles of sound science publishing.

We only accept papers where the conclusions are substantiated by the data presented.

If the science is reliable and sound, we will publish.

In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published.

However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals.

We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
