- It is an international aim to publish high-quality and valuable research in linking molecular biology and biochemical sciences and their applications in all life sciences.
- The topics and areas of research that can be published in the journal have been identified as follows: Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Clinical Biochemistry, Agricultural Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Stem Cells, and Clinical Toxicology.
- Title
- Manuscripts must be submitted with both a full title and a short title, which will appear at the top of the PDF upon
publication if accepted. Only the full title should be included in the manuscript file; the short title will be entered during the online submission process.
- The full title should be specific, descriptive, concise, and comprehensible to readers outside the subject field.
- Avoid abbreviations if possible. Where appropriate, authors should include the species or model system used (for
biological papers) or type of study design (for clinical papers).
All author names should be listed in the following order:
- First names (or initials, if used), Middle names (or initials, if used), and Last names (surname, family name)
- Medical and/or highest academic degrees (eg, MD, PhD)
- Each author should list an associated department, university, or organizational affiliation and its location, including city, state/province (if applicable), and country.
- When a large group or center has conducted the work, the author list should include the individuals whose contributions meet the authorship criteria defined above, as well as the group name.
- If the article has been submitted on behalf of a consortium, all author names and affiliations should be listed at the end of the article in the Acknowledgements section.
- One author should be designated as the corresponding author, and his or her email address should be included on the manuscript cover page.
- This information will be published with the article if accepted.
- Abstract
- A structured abstract should be no more than 350 words, summarizing the problem being considered, how the study was performed, the salient results, and the principal conclusions.
- Specific instructions regarding abstract structure are often included in the relevant reporting guidelines checklist.
- Introduction/Materials and Methods/Results/Discussion and Conclusions
- The overall structure of your manuscript text should follow the corresponding reporting guideline.
- For example, a compliant manuscript should include the following sections:
- Introduction
- Methods
- Results
- Discussion
- Other Information
- Acknowledgements
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an ‘Acknowledgements’ section.
Additionally, if the article has been submitted on behalf of a consortium, all author names and affiliations should be listed at the end of the article in the Acknowledgements section. Authors should also disclose whether they had any writing assistance.
- References
- All references cited in the text must be both listed and cited by the reference number (footnotes are not accepted).
- Each reference should be cited in the text, tables, or figures in consecutive numerical order by means of superscript Arabic numerals.
- Use superscript numerals outside periods and commas, inside colons and semicolons.
- When more than 2 references are cited at a given place in the manuscript, use hyphens to join the first and last numbers of a closed series; use commas without space to separate other parts of a multiple citations (eg, As reported previously,1,3-8,19...The derived data were as follows3,4,12:)
- References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text.
- References in tables and in figure legends must appear in the reference page(s).
- In listed references, use the author’s surname followed by initials without periods. (eg, Doe JF)
- For references with 6 or fewer authors, list all authors. For references with more than 6 authors, list the first 3 authors followed by “et al.”
- Tables
- Tables are text-only items. Do not embed images within the table file.
- Each table file should include the table title, appropriate column heads, and any legends.
- Save each table in a separate word processing document file and upload individually.
- Do not embed tables within the manuscript file.
- Tables are numbered with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) when there is more than one. Do not use roman numerals.
- Cite tables consecutively in the manuscript, and number them in the order in which they are discussed.
- Abbreviations are not permitted in table titles. Any abbreviation(s) used in the body of the table, including. dashes, must be defined in a footnote to the table, listed in reading order.
- Many tables include information from other articles and series of patients. In these tables, include the name of the first author of the previous series, and include the reference number and year alongside the author's name.
- Each series mentioned in a table must be listed in the Reference section.
- For further information on table formatting, please see the AMA Manual of Style.
- Figures
- Legends for all figures should be brief and specific and should appear on a separate page at the end of the manuscript document, following the list of references. Legends should indicate the figure number and must be numbered correctly.
- All symbols or abbreviations appearing in an illustration must be defined in the legend; arrows appearing in a figure should be mentioned in the legend.
- Legends for composite figures should be formatted as a single legend containing necessary information about each part/panel (not separated).
- Credit for any previously published illustration must be given in the corresponding legend and must appear in the style stipulated by the original copyright holder.
- For further information on figure legend formatting, please see the AMA Manual of Style.
- Letters to the Editor
- Letters can be responses to articles or other letters published in the journal, or brief comments about issues of importance in general medicine.
- Letters submitted to the Editor should contain a brief and thoughtful analysis of an original article.
- Please note that publication is not guaranteed. References, if appropriate, can be provided.
- Letters to the Editor should be no longer than 500 words.
- Letters to the Editor will be posted on the Medicine Authors Correspondence Blog and are citable but not indexed in the journal.
- Authors of the original article may be invited to write a response to one or more letters if the editors deem a response is warranted.
- Accepted Manuscripts
- Authors will receive notification via email that the PDF (portable document format) proofs of their article are available.
