About the journal
|
The ¡®Journal of Biomedical Science¡¯ is an international forum devoted to the promotion of basic medical science and its significance for human welfare. Encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue between basic and clinical researchers, it aims to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of diseases and to provide the basis for their treatment. Although primarily devoted to original research papers, the journal also features regular reviews on current topics of special interest. A dedicated editorial board consisting of basic and clinical scientists ensures stringent peer-review and is actively engaged in developing this journal into an important forum for communication among experts from different biomedical fields and between the scientific community in Asia and the western world.

Manuscripts should be written in English. They should be submitted in triplicate (with three sets of illustrations, of which one is original), typewritten double-spaced on one side of the paper (size approx. 21 x 28 cm), with 3-cm margins.
The final version of your manuscript and illustrations should also be submitted on disk. For details refer to Disk Submission. Editorial review and copy-editing will be executed from the disk version of your manuscript.
Resubmission of a rejected manuscript should be addressed to the original receiving editorial office.
Conditions
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a cover letter stating that the submitted work is not currently under consideration elsewhere and that all authors have seen and approved of the submission of manuscript for consideration of publication in Journal of Biomedical Science. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that persons cited for unpublished work have approved such citation. Authors may provide the names and contact information for three or four suggested reviewers for the manuscript.
Manuscripts which do not comply with the ethical standards recommended by the Helsinki Declaration will not be accepted for publication. The editors realize that the use of anesthetics, analgesics, and tranquilizers would defeat the purpose of some experiments. However, the use of painful or otherwise noxious stimuli must be carefully and thoroughly justified in the paper.
It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
The paper should comprise title page, Key Words, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, References, tables, figure legends, and figures ¨C in this order.
Short Communications: Follow the same outline, omitting headings except for Key Words, Abstract and References. Limitations are 5 manuscript pages (about 1,000 words) in length (including references and illustration), a maximum of 7 references, and 1 illustration.
Copyright
Publications are copyrighted for the protection of the authors and the publisher (National Science Council, ROC). A Transfer of Copyright Agreement will be sent to the author. The form must be completed and returned to the publisher before the article can be published.
Arrangement
Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors?names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head.
Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
Key Words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3¨C10 key words in English is essential.
Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract not exceeding 200 words.
Introduction: This section should not be labeled, but should begin on a new page. It should contain a clear statement of the aims of the reported work. A brief account of the background of the work may also be given in this section.
Methods: This section should contain explicit, concise descriptions of all new methods or procedures employed. Modifications of previously published methods should be described. Commonly used methods require only a citation of the original sources. When methods are described, the description should be such as to enable the reader to judge their accuracy, reproducibility, and reliability and to repeat the experiment.
Results: This section ordinarily contains the experimental data to be presented, but not extended discussions of their significance. Results should usually be presented in graphic or tabular form rather than discursively in the text. Graphic presentation of data is often preferred, but there should not be duplication in tables and figures. Sufficient data must be given to allow readers to judge variability and reliability of the results.
Discussion: This section should discuss the significance and implications of the results and present conclusions to be drawn from the results. Speculative discussion is not discouraged, but the speculation should be based on the data presented and identified as such. The Discussion should be as concise as possible, within the limits of ideas the authors wish to propose and adequate discussion of related work by others. For Short Communications, the Discussion may be incorporated into Results, heading as Results and Discussion.
Acknowledgments: These may be included at the end of the text of the manuscript. Grant support, if any, should be listed in this section.
Footnotes: Avoid footnotes. When essential, they are numbered consecutively and typed at the foot of the appropriate page.
Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be submitted separately. Tables require a heading and the figures a legend. The Legends should be prepared on a separate sheet. Abbreviations in the legends should conform to those in the text. For the reproduction of illustrations, only good drawings and original photographs can be accepted; negatives or photocopies cannot be used. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. If possible, group several illustrations on one block for reproduction (max. size 180 x 223 mm) or provide crop marks. On the back of each illustration, indicate its number, the author’s name, and ¡®top¡¯ with a soft pencil. Ballpoint pen should not be used. Electronically submitted b/w half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800-1,200 dpi. Photomicrographs should be calibrated on the print by adding a calibration bar. Any labelling should be done on copies, not on the prints. If any tables or illustrations submitted have been published elsewhere, written consent for republication should be obtained by the author from the holders of the copyright (usually the authors and the publishers).
Color Illustrations
Up to 6 color illustrations per page can now be integrated with the text at the special price of CHF 660.¨C / USD 545.00 per page. Color illustrations are reproduced at the author’s expense.
Statistics, Measurements
Statistical tests used and the data analyzed should be explained so that the findings can be interpreted and evaluated. Wherever possible, statistical probability (p) in tables, figures, and figure legends should be expressed as * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.
Scientific measurements should be given in SI units.
Drugs
Generic names should be used in text, tables, and figures. Trade names in upper case may be mentioned in parentheses in the first text reference to the drug but should not appear in titles, figures, or tables. The chemical nature of new drugs must be given when it is known. The form of drug used in calculations of doses (e.g., base or salt) should be indicated in Methods.
Abbreviations
When an abbreviation is to be used in the manuscript, it is to be defined in the text the first time it is used. Abbreviations for commonly used substances should be those recommended by the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Abbreviations for drugs/chemicals may be used if properly defined with the chemical or generic name when the abbreviation is first used. Excessive use of abbreviations in the text, however, is strongly discouraged. Most abbreviations are used without punctuation, with no distinction between singular and plural forms.
The abbreviations, or their properly prefixed multiples or submultiples (e.g., kg, g, mg, microgram [greek letter mu + g], ng, pg), listed below may be used without definition in text, tables, and figures.
