All material to be considered for publication in Chemical Senses should be submitted in electronic form via the journal’s online submission system at http://chemsens.manuscriptcentral.com. Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the instructions below, instructions on how to submit your manuscript online can be found by clicking here.
ScopeChemical Senses publishes original papers on taste, smell and all aspects of chemoreception. This includes the gross morphology and fine structure of receptors and central chemosensory pathways; the properties of the stimuli and the nature of the chemical-receptor interaction; and the electrical, biochemical and behavioural correlates (both animal and human) of neural response to chemosensory stimuli. An important part of the journal's coverage is also devoted to techniques and specific application and development of new methods for investigating chemoreception and chemosensory structures at the anatomical, biochemical, physiological and psychophysical levels - including techniques for stimulus production and delivery.
Letters to the editorLetters commenting on the scientific content of papers which have been published in Chemical Senses are considered for publication. The author(s) of the paper are normally asked to respond to the comments. Letters and responses may be edited before publication. Normal scientific terminology, and Chemical Senses citation procedures, should be followed.

Submission of a paper implies that it reports unpublished work and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If previously published tables, illustrations or more than 200 words of text are to be included, then the copyright holder's written permission must be obtained. Copies of any such permission letters should be enclosed with the paper.
Review of manuscriptsManuscripts submitted are reviewed and those not meeting the journal's scientific standards or other requirements are rejected.
Manuscripts regarded by the Editors as of special interest may be reviewed and published on a fast track.
AuthorshipAll persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. The order of authorship should be a joint decision of the co-authors. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Authorship credit should be based on substantial contribution to conception and design, execution, or analysis and interpretation of data. All authors should be involved in drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, and must have read and approved the final version of the manuscript. Assurance that all authors of the paper have fulfilled these criteria for authorship should be given in the covering letter.
Competing InterestsChemical Senses would not wish you or your co-authors to be embarrassed if any undeclared conflicts of interest were to emerge after publication. Contributors must therefore declare any commercial interests, such as directorships, share holdings, grants, fees, gifts or travel expenses received, by the individual author or their associated department/organization, from organizations whose service/product, or whose competitors?service/product, is a subject of discussion or evaluation in a scientific study, Editorial, Review or Letter. Any other connections, direct or indirect, that might raise the question of bias in the work reported or the conclusions, implications or opinions stated, including personal relationships or academic competition, must be declared. All sources of funding must be disclosed as an acknowledgement in the text.
ProofsAuthors are sent page proofs. Please provide an e-mail address to enable page proofs to be sent as PDF files via e-mail. To avoid delays in publication, proofs should be checked immediately for typographic errors and returned to the typesetter by express (special delivery) post. Essential changes of an extensive nature may be made only by insertion of a Note Added in Proof. Page charges are not levied. Authors are, however, charged for extensive changes made in proof and for special items such as colour plates.
Preparation of manuscriptsManuscripts should be in their final form when they are submitted so that proofs will require only correction of typographical errors.
Sections of the manuscript
Regular full-length papers should be divided into the following sequence of headed sections: Abstract (100-200 words), Introduction, Materials and methods (or Experimental), Results (or Observations), Discussion (or Conclusion), Acknowledgements, and References.
General format
Prepare your manuscript text using a Word processing package (save in .doc or .rtf format). Use double spacing (space between lines of type not less than 6 mm) throughout the manuscript and leave margins of 25 mm (1 inch) at the top, bottom and sides of each page. Number each page. Please avoid footnotes; use instead, and as sparingly as possible, parenthesis within brackets. Enter text in the style and order of the journal. Type references in the correct order and style of the journal. Type unjustified, without hyphenation, except for compound words. Type headings in the style of the journal. Use the TAB key once for paragraph indents. Where possible use Times for the text font and Symbol for the Greek and special characters. Use the word processing formatting features to indicate Bold, Italic, Greek, Maths, Superscript and Subscript characters. Clearly identify unusual symbols and Greek letters. Differentiate between the letter O and zero, and the letters I and l and the number 1. Mark the approximate position of each figure and table.
Check the final copy of your paper carefully, as any spelling mistakes and errors may be translated into the typeset version.
Corresponding author
The name and address of the author to whom all correspondence is to be addressed should be placed on the title page and identified as:
- Correspondence to be sent to: John Smith, Department of Pathology, University of Somewhere, Anytown, USA
Please include the e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author.
Abstract
The first page of the manuscript should begin with the abstract, which should be a concise summary of the paper. Abbreviations and reference citations should be avoided.
Key words
Up to six key words should be given below the abstract. Key words facilitate retrieval of articles by search engines, web directories and indexes; therefore, terms that are too general should be avoided. The selected key words should not repeat words given in the title since this is covered by most search systems. The aim is to assist potential readers to find the article by clearly and specifically describing its subject matter, including aspects of methodology or the theoretical framework.
References
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the References. Published articles and those in the press (state the journal which has accepted them) may be included. In the text a reference should be cited by author and date as 'Experiments by Author (Author 1989) have demonstrated...' or '...as reported earlier (Author and Author, 1985; Author et al., 1986)'. Do not place text other than the author and date within the parenthesis. No more than two authors may be cited per reference; if there are more than two authors use et al. In the Reference list all authors should be cited. At the end of the manuscript the citations should be typed in alphabetical order, with the authors' names, year, paper title, journal, volume number, inclusive page numbers, and name and address of publisher (for books only). The name of the journal should be abbreviated according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals. References should therefore be listed as follows:
- Cagan, R.H. and Rhein, L.D. (1980) Biochemical basis of recognition of taste and olfactory stimuli. In van der Starre, H. (ed.), Olfaction and Taste VII. IRL Press, Oxford, pp. 35-44.
Marshall, D.A. and Moulton, D.G. (1981) Olfactory sensitivity to alpha-ionone in humans and dogs. Chem. Senses, 6, 53-61.
van der Starre, H. (ed.) (1980) Olfaction and Taste VII. IRL Press, Oxford.
Personal communications (J. Smith, personal communication) should be authorized in writing by those involved, and unpublished data should be cited as (unpublished data). Both should be used sparingly.
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate sheets and numbered consecutively with Roman numerals. They should be self-explanatory and include a brief descriptive title. They should be of such a size that they fit easily onto a journal page, the type area of which is 234 (height) x 185 mm (double column width) or 89 mm (single column width). Footnotes to tables indicated by lower case letters are acceptable, but they should not include extensive experimental details.
An arrow should be used to indicate approximately where a table should be inserted in the text.
Illustrations
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) must be referred to in the text (as Figure 1 etc.) and should be abbreviated to 'Fig. 1.' only in the figure legend. For initial online submission, you will be required to submit images electronically in one of the following formats: .jpg, .gif, .tif, or .eps.
Upon acceptance, you will be required to supply high-quality hard copies of your figures, and high-resolution electronic versions if available, by express mail. Each figure should be on a separate sheet. Write the title of the paper, the name of the first author and the figure number in pencil on the back of each figure. On the back also indicate clearly the top margin of each figure. In the manuscript indicate with an arrow the most appropriate position for the figure.
Photographs: These should be submitted in the desired final printed size so that reduction can be avoided. The type area of a printed page is 234 (height) x 185 mm (width) and photographs, including their legends, should not exceed this area. A single column is 89 mm wide; a double column is 185 mm wide. Ideally photographs should fit either a single or a double column. Photographs should be of sufficiently high quality with respect to detail, contrast and fineness of grain to withstand the inevitable loss of contrast and detail inherent in the printing process. Please indicate the magnification by a rule on the photograph.
Colour plates: There is a special charge for the inclusion of colour plates. The cost is $600 per plate. (For cost purposes, the definition of a single figure is artwork that can be processed as a unit and printed on a single page without intervening type. Authors should note the potential cost savings inherent in this definition; for example, two consecutive half-page colour figures mounted as a composite and printed on one page, with both legends below or on the facing page, would be treated as one figure.)
Line drawings: Please provide these as clear, sharp prints, suitable for reproduction as submitted. No additional artwork, redrawing or typesetting will be done. Therefore all labelling should be on the original drawing. Faint and grey shading or stippling will be lost upon reproduction and should be avoided. Where various shadings are used within one figure please ensure that it is easy to differentiate between them, using standard shadings (see the hard copy of the journal for examples). There should be sufficient white space between lines and dots to ensure the areas will not fill in and look grey. If stippling is used, this should be made up of clear black dots with visible white space between them. Ensure that the size of the lettering is in proportion with the overall dimensions of the drawing. Ideally, the drawings should be submitted in the desired final printed size to avoid reduction (maximum dimensions 234 x 185 mm including legends) and should fit either single (89 mm) or double column width (185 mm). If submitting line drawings which require reduction, please check that the lettering will be clearly legible after the drawing has been reduced to the size at which it will be printed. After reduction, letters should not be smaller than 2 mm in height.
Electronic submission of figures: At the acceptance stage, figures must be saved in TIFF format at a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch at the final printed size for colour figures and photographs, and 1200 pixels per inch for black and white line drawings. Although some other formats can be translated into TIFF format by the publisher, the conversion may alter the tones, resolution and contrast of the image. Digital colour art should be submitted in CMYK rather than RGB format, as the printing process requires colours to be separated into CMYK and this conversion can alter the intensity and brightness of colours. Therefore authors should be satisfied with the colours in CMYK (both on screen and when printed) before submission. Please also keep in mind that colours can appear differently on different screens and printers. Failure to follow these guides could result in complications and delays.
Publication quality hard copies of all figures are still essential, as they will be scanned for reproduction in the event of problems with the electronic files.
Figure legends: These should be included at the end of the manuscript text. Define all symbols and abbreviations used in the figure. Common abbreviations and others in the preceding text need not be redefined in the legend.
Conventions
In general, the journal follows the conventions of the CBE Style Manual (Council of Biology Editors, Bethesda, MD, 1983, 5th edn). Follow Chemical Abstracts and its indexes for chemical names. For guidance in the use of biochemical terminology follow the recommendations issued by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, as given in Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents, published by the Biochemical Society, UK. For enzymes use the recommended name assigned by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on the Biochemical Nomenclature, 1978, as given in Enzyme Nomenclature, published by Academic Press, New York, 1980. Where possible, use the recommended SI (Système International) units.
Genotypes should be italicized; phenotypes should not be italicized.
Abbreviations
Try to restrict the use of abbreviations to SI symbols and those recommended by the IUPAC-IUB. Abbreviations should be defined in brackets after their first mention in the text. Standard units of measurements and chemical symbols of elements may be used without definition in the body of the paper.
Chemical formulae and mathematical equations
Wherever possible, write mathematical equations and chemical formulae on a single line. Submit complicated chemical structures as artwork.
Human and animal experimentsThe editors draw the authors' attention to the Declaration of Helsinki and the Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals (DHEW Publication, NIH 86-23). These are reproduced in detail in the first issue of each volume. The editors reserve the right not to accept papers unless adherence to the principles embodied in these documents is apparent.
Ethics guidelinesIn order to guarantee a consistent policy of review and publication, Chemical Senses endorses the Ethics Guidelines offered by the Society for Neuroscience. These guidelines describe the responsibilities and expected conduct not only of authors of scientific articles, but also of the editors and reviewers. We encourage our readers to take a few minutes to download and look over these guidelines at:
http://www.sfn.org/guidelines/
A hard copy can be obtained by contacting any of the Executive Editors.
OffprintsThe publishers supply 30 offprints free of charge. Offprint order forms are sent out with the proofs, and must be returned to Oxford University Press if extra offprints are required or you wish to purchase a URL for online access your paper. Late orders submitted after the journal is printed are subject to increased prices.
Licence to publish
It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors grant an exclusive licence to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In granting an exclusive licence, authors may use their own material in publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance
