Publisher's note.

摘要

Please note that, effective with the 2011 volume, Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews will be published in an online-only format. The benefits of this for our authors are:- No charges for colour figures- Accepted article PDFs will be published within days of acceptance- Faster issue publication times for full final articles- Better integration of online supporting information for articles. Subscribers holding print-only, or print & online subscriptions will be contacted by their account managers, or by our journal customer services team, to discuss converting these to online-only subscriptions.
