Five management domains, complemented by population, health-services, life-course and mechanistic research.
JOM connects obesity research across biology, clinical care, behavior, nutrition, physical activity, population health and health services. Studies are assessed using standards appropriate to their question and design; relevant mechanisms, methods, qualitative and computational work do not require immediate clinical translation.
Distribution, determinants and population consequences of obesity.
Access, organization and delivery of obesity care; weight stigma in healthcare, education, employment and communities.
Childhood and adolescence, pregnancy and postpartum, and older age.
Obesity biology, genetic and environmental determinants, and relevant cellular, animal or computational models; immediate clinical translation is not a scope requirement.
The boundaries below distinguish a substantive obesity question from incidental weight measurement or an unrelated subject.
A substantive obesity question is required. Measuring body weight or including participants with obesity alone does not establish fit; focused subgroup and effect-modification analyses can qualify.
Research without an obesity question is outside scope. Weight or body-composition outcomes alone are insufficient, while relevant health and functional outcomes need not include weight loss.
Mechanistic work must substantively concern obesity biology, risk, consequences or management. A passing obesity reference does not establish fit.
Eating-disorder research must relate substantively to obesity risk, prevention or management. Outcomes of obesity treatment can qualify regardless of current BMI.
Advertisements, promotional weight-loss claims and general wellness material without a scholarly obesity question are outside scope. Commercial interventions may be studied with appropriate methods and disclosed interests.

14 published records across 1 volume and 4 issues, with a publication history spanning 2014–2026: 9 research articles, 3 review articles, 2 in brief. Archive totals reflect the journal’s current published record.
Editorial decisions rest with the board, independently of any fee, membership, service or role.
The board has 13 members in 6 countries, 7 of whom publish an ORCID iD. Five are introduced here, with the affiliation verified from each member’s own public record and the obesity or metabolic work that evidences the fit.

The terms on which JOM reviews, licenses and publishes.
Obesity research runs on human participants, on drug and device therapy, on surgical procedures, on children, and on measurements from which a person can be recognized.
A journal identifier, a DOI registration service and an open license are three different things. None of them is journal-level indexing, and none is presented here as though it were.

All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.
The article processing charge is USD 2,100, one charge for all article types, payable only after acceptance. There is no submission fee. Fee-relief inquiries go to the editorial office before or at submission and have no bearing on the editorial decision.
