JDR EDITOR INFORMATION
Dr. Mark C. Herzberg, Editor, Journal of Dental Research, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, 17-164 Moos Tower, 515 Delaware St., SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA. Inquiries may be FAXed to 612-624-8958 or e-mailed to jdr@umn.edu or mcherzb@umn.edu.
GENERAL POLICY
Submitted manuscripts must be written clearly and concisely in English and represent unpublished original research that is not being considered for publication elsewhere. The Journal seeks to publish (i) brief definitive reports of wide interest to the research community and (ii) topical, concise reviews of the state of the art. Brief definitive reports of findings of unusual significance can be reviewed as (iii) Rapid Communications. Criteria for the acceptance of Rapid Communications will be more stringent than those for regular papers. Authors should request review for Rapid Communications in the cover letter to the Editor. The Journal also welcomes (iv) essays that explore seminal events and creative advances in the development of dental research for publication in the "Discovery!" column.
Reports of observations and the development of new methods or techniques may be considered for publication if they are of broad and fundamental interest. Submission of case reports is generally discouraged.
Letters to the Editor, Guest Editorials, and Conference Reports should be submitted online and addressed to the Editor. Letters to the Editor must include evidence to support a position about the scientific or editorial content of the Journal and are limited to 250 words. Guest Editorials describe a clear and substantiated position on issues of interest to the community and are also encouraged. These are limited to 1000 words. As appropriate, a brief response to Letters or Guest Editorials will be solicited for concurrent publication. Conference Reports will be considered for publication only if they are topical and brief, highlighting important new data or findings. Final approval for publication rests with the Editor.
Submitted manuscripts must be accompanied by a cover letter certifying that the research is (i) original, (ii) not presently under consideration for publication elsewhere, (iii) free of conflict of interest (e.g., edited by the funding agency or organization), and (iv) conducted by the highest principles of human subject and animal welfare, and that (v) the content of the manuscript has been reviewed and agreed upon by all authors. All contributors must sign the cover letter indicating their approval of the complete content. In the cover letter, contributors should nominate four expert, independent scientific referees and include their names, mailing addresses, telephone/FAX numbers, e-mail addresses, and area of expertise. Nominated scientific referees may not be colleagues at the contributors' institutions or present or former collaborators. The receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged. The contributors will be notified subsequently by the Editor or Associate Editor of (1) acceptance, (2) need for revisions, or (3) rejection.
Also include a list of total words (from Abstract to Acknowledgments), number of words in Abstract, total number of tables and/or figures, and number of references.
All rights in manuscripts shall be transferred to the Journal of Dental Research upon submission. Submission of a manuscript shall constitute each author's agreement that the Journal of Dental Research holds all proprietary rights in the manuscript submitted, including all copyrights. On acceptance and before publication of a paper, contributors will be asked to sign a formal transfer of copyright.
RESEARCH REPORTS
(All submissions must adhere to the following criteria.) These will be limited to a maximum of 2500 words, including an abstract of 150 words, 30 references, and four tables or figures. Additional supporting data may be referenced as an appendix for publication only on the Web. The appendix must be submitted with the manuscript for review. Research Reports will be published in three categories, and the contributors will recommend the most appropriate category:
- Clinical
- Biomaterials & Bioengineering
- Biological
CONCISE REVIEWS
These should focus on emerging hypotheses and will be limited to 4000 words, 40 references, and three tables or figures.
DISCOVERY! ESSAYS
These essays will be limited to 2500 words and two tables or figures.
MANUSCRIPTS
Prepare manuscript, tables, legends, and footnotes as double-spaced text (a minimum of 6 mm between lines). Figures and tables should not exceed 8-1/2 x 11 inches. Both Macintosh (Framemaker, MacWrite, Word, WordPerfect, Works WP, or WriteNow) and IBM PC (DCA-RFT, FrameMaker, MultiMate, Office Writer, Text, Word for Windows, WordPerfect, WordStar, Works WP, or XYWrite) files will be accepted. Manuscripts should be "clean", i.e., free of tabs and codes. Bold and italic type should appear exactly as they will appear on the printed page. Italicize items that will appear in italics; this will include the genus and species of an organism, g (for gravitational force), Latin words and abbreviations (for example, e.g., i.e., in vitro, in vivo, et al.), and journal names in the References section. Tabs should be used to separate columns within tables. Avoid using unnecessary grid lines, spaces, or characters in tables.
Use a standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial to avoid misrepresentation of your data on different computers that do not have the unusual or foreign language fonts.
Title and Section Headings
Bold type should be used for the title on page 1. Use upper- and lower-case letters. First-level headings, which include ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS & METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, and REFERENCES should be bold type, all upper-case letters, as shown. Second-level subheads should be bold type, upper- and lower-case. Third-level subheads should be bold type, upper- and lower-case, with a paragraph indent. Any lower-ranked subheads should be italicized, and in upper- and lower-case. Please type no more than 10 characters per inch. Authors are reminded to include their complete mailing addresses, telephone, FAX, and e-mail addresses, as available. Copies of "in press" and "submitted" manuscripts that will provide essential information for the referees should also be submitted.
A Few Words About Style
Authors should remember that they are writing to communicate to often-uninformed readers. Here are a few suggestions: Show a clear chronological progression and logic to the development of your ideas throughout the manuscript and within paragraphs and sentences. Speak to the reader in a direct and straightforward voice. Tell the reader your purpose, then provide background, data, and conclusions. You will make your point most effectively by illustrating with a well-chosen example, rather than providing an encyclopedic discourse. In each paragraph and sentence, stick to the subject. For example, if the subject is "biophysical properties", don't write sentences in that paragraph that change the subject to the names of cited contributors. Each sentence should contain only one thought. Write short and simple sentences. Choose the best word so that you say what you mean. To make your information accessible to the widest possible audience, avoid jargon, acronyms, and needless words. Before submission, contributors must review their manuscripts with (i) computer grammar and spelling tools/filters and (ii) a colleague who is expert in English language grammar and syntax. Manuscripts may not be reviewed or rejected on the basis of poor English or accepted standards of style. Check to ensure that all listed references, figures, and tables are cited in the text and that all cited references, figures, and tables are presented in appropriate sections. The Editor reserves the right to make changes to improve the clarity of the text. All such changes will be subject to contributors' approval before publication.
Revised Manuscripts
All revisions must be accompanied by a cover letter to the Editor signed/reviewed by all contributors. The letter must (i) detail on a point-by-point basis the contributors' disposition of each of the referees' comments, and (ii) certify that all contributors approve of the revised content and that the manuscript complies with stipulations 'i' through 'iv' in "General Policy".
MANUSCRIPT COMPONENTS
The components of a manuscript should be: 1) title page, 2) abstract, 3) introduction, 4) materials and methods, 5) results, 6) discussion, 7) acknowledgments, 8) references, 9) tables, and 10) figure legends. The complete manuscript should be arranged in that order. Number all pages consecutively in the top right-hand corner, including the title page. Label figures clearly. Each figure label must indicate the number corresponding to the citation in the text, an arrow indicating the top, and contributors' abbreviated names.
1) Title Page (page 1)
Type in bold type with only the first letters of the main words capitalized. The title should be brief (not to exceed 60 characters) and illustrative of the key finding. Also type the contributors' initials and last names in upper- and lower-case letters. Use superscript numbers to relate contributors to different departments or institutions, or to indicate a change in address. For the corresponding author who will receive reprint requests, provide the full postal (including ZIP or Postal Code) and e-mail addresses, telephone and FAX numbers, as available. If the corresponding author is not the first author, indicate by a number superscript, and use the phrase "corresponding author", and that individual's e-mail address. The following information must be included on the cover page: 1) a short title (running head) of up to 45 characters; 2) three to five key words; 3) the number of words in the abstract; 4) the number of words in the abstract and the text (excluding tables, figure legends, acknowledgments, and cited references); 5) the number of tables and figures; and 6) the number of cited references. If applicable, include source footnotes on page 1 to indicate prior preliminary publication. For example, state that the work was "Based on a thesis submitted to the graduate faculty, Azimuth University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD degree" or that a preliminary report was presented at, or published in... Report all sources of funding in a later section, "Acknowledgments".
2) Abstract (page 2)
A self-standing summary of the text, this section should not exceed one typed page (about 150 words). Concisely describe the (i) background and rationale, (ii) hypothesis or study objective, (iii) design and key methods, (iv) essential results, and (v) conclusions. Avoid abbreviations. The abstract will be re-published separately by information retrieval services.
3) Introduction (page 3)
Briefly and clearly describe the background and rationale for the stated hypothesis to be tested or objective to be studied. Sufficient detail must be provided to permit the interdisciplinary reader to evaluate the results without review of earlier publications. Describe and cite only the most relevant earlier studies; avoid presentation of an exhaustive review of the field.
4) Materials & Methods
To provide sufficient technical information so that the experiments can be repeated, the (i) experimental or study design, (ii) specific procedures, and (iii) type of statistical analysis must be described clearly and carefully. Use section subheadings in a logical order to title each category or method. Previously published methods should be named (e.g., "ultrasonic treatment" rather than mention of the cited contributors' names) and cited. New methods must be described completely. Present the data that validate the new method. A method used for only part of one experiment may be described briefly in the "Results" section, table footnote, or figure legend. Present descriptive information about large numbers of experimental reagents, microbes, test materials, etc., in tabular form with a brief explanation in the text. Proprietary names and sources of supply of all commercial products must be given in parentheses in the text (name and model of product, company, city, and state or country). Report generic names and terms wherever possible. For protocols involving the use of human subjects or specimens, indicate succinctly that subjects' rights have been protected by an appropriate institutional review board and informed consent was granted. When laboratory animals are used, indicate the level of institutional review and assurance that the protocol ensures humane practices.
5) Results
This section serves only to introduce data in the (i) text, (ii) tables, and (iii) figures and to call attention to their significant parts. Report results concisely, using tables and figures to present important differences or similarities that cannot otherwise be presented or summarized in the text. The rationale and design of experiments should be made clear in the previous sections of the manuscript. Reserve subjective comments, interpretation, or reference to the previous literature for the "DISCUSSION". Number tables and figures in the order in which they are described and cited in the text. All tabular data should identify and report (i) either standard deviation values or standard errors of the means, (ii) the number of replicate determinations or human or animal subjects, and (iii) probability values and name(s) of statistical test(s) for reported differences. Restrict presentation of photo- and electronmicrographs to those essential to the results. If essential to the results, color can be published at the discretion of the Editor. (The cost for color in reprints, however, must be borne by the author. For cost estimates, contact the Central Office at 703-548-0066, or FAX 703-548-1883, e-mail publications@iadr.org.)
6) Discussion
Explain and interpret the results with a scientifically critical view of the previously published work in the field. Highlight the advances made by the new data. Indicate the limitations of the findings. State the conclusions of the report, and explain why they are merited by the data. This is the only proper section for subjective comments.
7) Acknowledgments
Recognize individuals who provided assistance to the project. Report all sources of grant and other support for the project or study, including funds received from contributors' institutions and commercial sources. Consultancies and funds paid directly to investigators must also be listed, with statements such as "This investigation was supported in part by USPHS Research Grant DE-0000-00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892".
8) References (maximum, 30)
This section will list all sources cited in the paper. Arrange the citations in alphabetical order by last name of the first author without numbering. When citing a reference in the text, provide attribution for the subject under discussion. For example, "Cold fusion has been difficult to replicate (Williams and Jones, 1988), but some recent modifications in experimental design (Jones et al., 1989) continue to stimulate new investigation." Avoid "Jones et al. (1989) found..." or "In a recent study, Jones (1990) found...", which creates vague statements because the subject is shifted from "cold fusion" to the names of the cited contributors. Use "et al." (in italics) when the cited work is by three or more contributors. When the cited work is by two contributors, use both surnames separated by "and". When citing multiple references by the same author(s) in the same year, use "a", "b", etc. (e.g., Jones, 1980b). Multiple references should be listed in chronological order of publication, separated by semi-colons. "Unpublished observations" and "personal communications" may be inserted into and cited (in parentheses) in the text with written permission from the correspondents, but are not to be used as references. Abbreviate journal names according to the style used in Index Medicus. Other titles should be formated with slight modifications of the style used by the US National Library of Medicine in Index Medicus. Examples of reference citation formats are illustrated below. Avoid using abstracts as references. Include among the references papers accepted but not yet published; designate the journal and add "(in press)". Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observations" (in parentheses). The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents and checked for correspondence between references cited in the text and listed in the "References" section.
Examples of correct forms of references are listed below. They are single-spaced here for illustration but should be double-spaced in the manuscript.

9) Tables and
10) Figures (maximum, four total)
Tables
Type one table per page. In the order of mention in the text, number each table consecutively with Arabic numerals in the heading. In the heading, follow the table number with a brief descriptive title, generally highlighting the key result. Design tables to highlight key results and comparisons. Make every effort to make the presentation of data clear, simple, and uncluttered. As column headings, use accurate descriptors instead of symbols, acronyms, and abbreviations. To avoid overlong titles and cumbersome tables, use explanatory footnotes whenever possible. In the table or title, indicate the order of footnotes with superscript a,b,c,d,e,f, ... If needed in footnotes, cite the short form of references in parentheses. In tabular columns and the text, decimals less than unity must have the decimal point preceded by a zero. To ensure that the presentation is clear, report only the number of significant digits appropriate to the sensitivity and discrimination of the measure and the differences to be illustrated. Column headings should be simple and clear so that tables will be understandable without consultation of the text. Generally, column headings identify dependent variables, while independent variables are identified by row descriptors on the left. Tables will usually be printed either 3-1/4 or 7 inches wide.
10) Figures
Figures are illustrative materials, including photomicrographs, radiographs, charts, and graphs. Digitized figures must be certified by the contributors to be an accurate representation of the original data and not electronically edited. Figures must be discussed thoroughly in the text. Black-and-white photographic prints, laser-quality reproductions, and original drawings on opaque white paper are preferred. Color reproductions will be published free at the discretion of the Editor. Authors wishing to pay to publish color figures should contact the Publications Department at the Central Office, at 703-548-0066, e-mail publications@iadr.org. Prices are listed on the Page Charge/Reprint Order Form. On each figure, oriented upright, label with contributors' names and figure number (and letter) in sequence corresponding to its mention in the text. Figures will generally be printed column-width, 1-1/2 columns' width, or page-width. Extraneous material should be cropped out to ensure minimal reduction. Photomicrographs must include a scale of the form |________|, clearly labeled with a convenient unit of length, e.g., 50 µm. Graphs should be labeled briefly and clearly at the abscissa and ordinate, including the units of measure. All figures must be labeled to allow for easy readability and visualization if reduced by 50% or more. If possible, determine the percentage reduction at which the figure will be reproduced (e.g., 3-1/4 or 7 inches wide). Print a copy at that percentage to see how all elements will be affected. Consider that any line or rule thinner than 1/2 point may not reproduce. Patterns used in bar charts can become illegible, thus rendering useless any keys provided for graphs. Ideally, all figures should be provided at the optimum size for publication. The title and other identification may appear in the legend.
Legends
Legends for all figures, including charts and graphs, must be typed together on a separate page and should be understandable without reference to the text. Include a title highlighting the key result and a key for any symbols or abbreviations used in the figure.
AUTHORITATIVE REFERENCES The Random House Dictionary of the English Language (Unabridged) will be used as the authority for spelling of non-medical terms. Where two plural forms are provided, the American English form will be used. For anatomical nomenclature, Nomina Anatomica (5th ed.) and Dorland's Illustrated Dictionary will be considered authoritative.
NOMENCLATURE Authors should refer to the International System of Units (SI), D.T. Goldman and R.J. Bell, Eds., NBS Special Publication 330 (1981). This booklet is available from the US Dept. of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Washington, DC 20234. Use of correct symbols includes m for milli-, ?for micro-, and L for liter (as in mL, µL, etc.). Express grams as g, hours as hr, seconds as sec, and centrifugal force as g (e.g., 10,000 g). Use nm rather than Angstroms. Concentrations should be expressed as mol/L or mmol/L, etc. Insert leading zeros in all numbers less than 1.0 in the text, tables, and figures.
Numbers of ten and fewer should be written out (e.g., ten subjects), except when indicating inanimate quantities (e.g., 10 mL), and numbers that are greater than ten should appear as digits. Always use digits to express dates, dimensions, degrees, doses, periods of time, percentages, proportions, ratios, sums of money, statistical results, weights, and measures, or to enumerate animals (but not people), culture cells and organisms, organs, and teeth. Leave a space between numbers and their accompanying units (e.g., 10 mg, not 10mg), and around the = and ?signs.
Micro-organisms should be referred to in accordance with the International Rules of Nomenclature. When applicable, the nomenclature for bacteria presented in Bergey's Manual of Systemic Bacteriology (current edition) will be followed. The first reference to an organism by genus and species must be in full (e.g., Lactobacillus casei); subsequent mention may abbreviate genus (L. casei). When a common name of a bacterium or group is mentioned, do not italicize (e.g., "some lactobacilli" or "sanguis group streptococci").
Authors of papers containing primary nucleotide sequencing data are expected to deposit this information in an appropriate database (e.g., GenBank/EMBL). Pertinent accession numbers should be provided with the submitted manuscript. Published articles will include a footnote indicating the accession number and database in which the information was deposited.
For examples of format not specified here, contributors should consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (current edition) and current issues of the Journal.
The complete names of individual teeth must be given in full in the text of articles (e.g., "permanent upper right first premolar"). In Tables, these names may be abbreviated by Viohl's Two-digit System. As approved by the International Standards Organization, the first digit indicates the quadrant and the second digit the type of tooth within the quadrant. Starting at the upper right side and rotating clockwise, quadrants are assigned the digits 1 to 4 for the permanent and 5 to 8 for the deciduous teeth; within the same quadrant, teeth from the midline backward are assigned the digits 1 to 8 (deciduous teeth, 1 to 5). For example, the permanent lower right first molar is designated '46' and the deciduous upper left canine, '63'.
PAGE PROOFS
Page proofs should be reviewed meticulously by the contributors to (i) approve changes recommended by the Copy Editor, (ii) update information about "in press" and "submitted" references, and (iii) recognize and correct simple errors of fact, grammar, spelling, and typography. While articles cannot be rewritten at this stage, important new information can be added as an addendum in proofs. Authors will be charged for extensive revisions, and publication will be delayed. Authors will also receive proofs of their manuscript which will include all figures submitted with the manuscript. These are exact reproductions of the original figures and must be approved by the author prior to publication. Proofs must be returned to the Publications Department with corrections and responses to queries. Authors are requested to return the proofs to the Central Office within 24 hours of receipt.
Proofs of material to appear in the electronic Web appendix will also be provided and will be subject to the same procedures as material to appear in print.
REPRINTS
Reprints can be ordered for material printed in the JDR and the electronic Web appendix. Quantities of reprints can be purchased with the reprint order form sent with page proofs to the contributors. Pre-payment is required for reprints. Send a check to the publisher, or you can use Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Authors must pay for color figures in reprints (see pricing information on reprint form). Reprints will be mailed from 6 to 8 weeks after the article appears in the Journal. Reprint files are not kept by the Editorial Office.
PAGE CHARGES
