Aims & Scope
CCLM is an official journal of the Association of Clinical Biochemists in Ireland (ACBI), Belgian Society of Clinical Chemistry (BVKC/SBCC), the German United Society of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (DGKL), Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (SIBioC), and the Slovenian Association for Clinical Chemistry.
Comprehensive Scope CCLM keeps you up-to-date with the latest developments in the clinical laboratory sciences. It reports on progress in fundamental and applied research. Areas covered include: clinical biochemistry, molecular medicine, hematology, immunology, microbiology, virology, drug measurement, genetic epidemiology, evaluation of diagnostic markers, new reagents and systems, reference materials, and reference values.
CCLM further promotes communication concerning these topics by the publication of news, letters and meeting reports. New teaching and training methods applicable to laboratory medicine are also covered.
Reviews and Minireviews In addition to original research reports, authoritative reviews written by leading experts in the field keep you informed of latest advances in the clinical laboratory sciences.
IFCC and EFCC Papers CCLM is closely linked to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFCC) and publishes regularly approved IFCC recommendations and other IFCC documents, as well as selected EFCC recommendations and EFCC news
Instructions to Authors Instructions to Authors Scope and Policy of the Journal Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) publishes original papers and reviews on all aspects of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. We invite papers on novel teaching and training methods applicable to laboratory medicine. We also publish equipment and reagent evaluation reports, short communications, letters to the editor, meeting reports, and book reviews. Review articles are normally published by invitation, but suggestions to the Editor-in-Chief are welcome. A limited number of book reviews will be commissioned at the Editor’s discretion. Abstracts of meetings can be published at page charges of 5 105.?per page if provided camera-ready or 5 210.?if typesetting is required. CCLM articles appear in English. Submission of a manuscript to CCLM implies that the work described has not been published before, except in the form of an abstract, thesis or lecture and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure that all authors see and approve the manuscript before its submission to CCLM. Once the manuscript is accepted, it must not be published elsewhere without the consent of the copyright holders. Manuscripts are accepted on condition of transfer of copyright to CCLM. A copyright transfer statement will be sent together with the manuscript for revision. It should be signed by the corresponding author and returned with the revised manuscript. Review of Manuscripts and Speed of Publication Papers are independently reviewed by at least two referees selected by the Editors. Usually decisions are reached within four weeks from submission date. When papers are accepted subject to revision, the revised manuscript (one original and two copies) must be returned within two months. It is the aim of the Journal to publish papers within two months from their final acceptance. The manuscript, figures and disks will not be returned to authors. Manuscript Submission Each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter containing a brief statement describing the novelty and importance of the work submitted. The authors should indicate the names, full postal addresses, phone and fax numbers and e-mail, where possible, of potential referees. The reviewing process will be started only if the names of three to five potential referees are given. Original and three high-quality copies of the manuscript, including all figures and tables on separate sheets, and an electronic version of the manuscript containing as few files as possible should be sent to: Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine attn.

Each full page of printed text corresponds to approximately 1400 words. Allow space for tables and illustrations within the page limit. Sections Full length papers and Technical Reports should have Title Page, Abstract, Key words, List of Abbreviations, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables and Figure Legends. Short Communications and Letters to the Editor should be subdivided into Key words, List of Abbreviations, and a single section of main text without headings, Short Communications must also include an Abstract. Experimental procedures should be described in legends to figures or footnotes to tables. Acknowledgements and References should be presented as in full length papers. Title page The title page should include: 1. Short and informative title. 2. Names of all authors (with one forename for each author in full), followed by their affiliations: department, institution, city without postcode, country. If there is more than one institution involved, authors?names should be linked to the appropriate institutions by inserting consecutive numbers in superscript after relevant names. If required, small letters, in superscript after the name, should be used to indicate the present addresses. 3. Mailing address, fax, phone number and e-mail address of the corresponding author. 4. Running title containing 50 characters or less in length. Abstract, key words and a list of non-standard abbreviations The second page of the manuscript should contain abstract, key words and a list of non-standard abbreviations used in text, figures, tables and figure legends. The abstract (written in bold) should be a single paragraph of no more than 200 words. It must be comprehensible to readers before they have read the paper.

Abbreviations The Journal accepts standard Journal of Biological Chemistry abbreviations. Uncommon abbreviations should be defined, in parentheses, when they first appear in text. Abbreviations in the Title and in the Abstract should be avoided. All nonstandard abbreviations should be listed alphabetically on the second page of the manuscript (see above), separated by semicolon. Start with the abbreviation, followed by a comma and then give the explanation. Submitting Articles on Disks Authors are encouraged to submit a disk version along with manuscripts. When submitting a disk version, the more simply you format your manuscript, the easier it will be to typeset. If there is a mismatch between disk and hard copy, the hard copy will be taken as the definitive version. Do write authors name, running title of the article and software name and version on the disk label; MS Word for Windows version 6.0 or above is preferred ?use single tab stops to indent, use single carriage returns between paragraphs save text, graphics and tables in as few files as possible (if possible in one file, but not more than in three files, e.g. doc, ppt, xls) use the Times font for text and Symbol for Greek characters check the final copy of your paper carefully Don’t use automatic numbering of pages and footnotes or manual page breaks use multiple spaces to format or between sentences position graphics and tables in text use non-standard fonts Offprints The corresponding authors will receive a PDF-file of their article. Additionally, they have the possibility of ordering charged offprints from 100 offprints upwards. An Offprint Order Form will be sent with the manuscript for revision. This should be completed and returned immediately. Please contact the Editorial Office if you have any further questions. We will do our best to assist you.
