Frequently Asked Questions

What types of ulcer research does JU publish?

We publish peer-reviewed research on peptic ulcer disease, gastric and duodenal ulcers, pressure ulcers and injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, oral ulcers, and corneal ulcers. Both clinical studies and basic science investigations of ulcer pathophysiology, healing mechanisms, and novel treatments, and preventive strategies are welcome.

Can I transfer unused benefits if I renew early?

Yes. Members who renew before expiration receive a 10% loyalty discount and can transfer remaining benefits to the new membership term. This provides maximum flexibility for clinical research timelines and grant cycles.

Do unused publication slots roll over?

Benefits must be used within the membership period unless you renew early. We recommend planning your publication schedule to maximize membership value, especially for multi-site clinical trials with staggered completion dates and multi-year grant funding periods.

Can multiple researchers from my hospital use the same membership?

Yes, institutional and corporate memberships cover all affiliated physicians, residents, nurses, and researchers. Individual memberships are tied to a single corresponding author but can be applied to any manuscript where that member is designated corresponding author on the submitted manuscript.
