Aims and scope

Giornale di Clinica Nefrologica e Dialisi (GCND), formerly Giornale di Tecniche Nefrologiche e Dialitiche, has been a point of reference for the Italian nephrology community for the last 30 years, addressing nephrologists and dialysis experts, dialysis and transplant nurses and dialysis technicians. With its vision of supporting a multi-professional approach to nephrology, GCND has established itself as a point of exchange with important national associations of operators (SIAN) and patients (AIRP, AIAF, ANED) with whom there is a constructive collaboration.

The journal adopts a single anonymized peer-review process, which means that reviewer identity is not made visible to authors, author identity is visible to reviewers, reviewer and author identity are visible to the editors..Full details on the peer review process and editorial policies can be found here

GCND publishes new articles as soon as they receive final approval from the authors and are assigned page numbers (online first, as customary now for scientific journals) and then collected in an issue, to guarantee rapid publication times and a timely content availability for its indexing databases.
