It covers endocrinology with a focus on basic, clinical, and translational research and reviews in all areas of endocrinology, including papers that deal with non-classical tissues as source or targets of hormones and papers that have relevance to endocrine-related and intersecting disciplines and the wider biomedical community.[3] It is jointly owned by the European Society of Endocrinology[1] and the Society for Endocrinology.[2][4] The editor-in-chief is Adrian Clark ([St George's University of London]]), who succeeded Josef Köhrle[5] in 2021. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 2.9.[6][7][8] The journal has been published by Bioscientifica since 2012.

The current editor-in-chief is Adrian Clark.[10]
