Instructions to Authors
The primary goal of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) is to publish articles that are relevant in the broadest terms to the clinical care of older persons. Such articles may span a variety of disciplines and fields and may be of immediate, intermediate, or long-term potential benefit to clinical practice. In the review process, equal weight will be placed on innovation and on the quality of the study design or review methodology. Authors who have questions about the appropriateness of their article for this journal are encouraged to communicate to the editor prior to submission. All inquiries about the Journal should be addressed to the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, King/Drew Medical Center, Interns & Residents Building, Suite 3-213, 12012 South Compton Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90059; telephone (310) 631-0973; fax (310) 631-1051, email: jags@king-drew.com
Manuscripts purporting to contain original material will be considered for publication with the understanding that neither the article nor any of its essentials, including tables and figures, has been or will be published or submitted for publication elsewhere before appearing in this Journal. JAGS now requires all authors to submit manuscripts online. Reviews by editors and referees will also be performed online, which will greatly facilitate, hasten, and simplify reviews of all manuscripts, as well as potentially reduce publication costs. Please carefully review and adhere to the instructions for submitting your papers posted on our website. When submitting a paper, the author(s) should always make a full statement to the editor-in-chief about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant, duplicate or overlapping significantly with the presently submitted paper to JAGS. The author(s) should also alert the editor-in-chief if the current research includes subjects about which a previous report has been published. Any such research should be referred to and referenced in the JAGS paper. The editor-in-chief will assess the information provided by the author(s) and subsequently may request copies of such previously published, in-press or submitted (to another journal) papers before further review is permitted. Details on what constitutes duplicate papers, why duplicate publications arise, and what steps might be taken with duplicate publications, can be found in an editorial statement by Tobin MJ: AJRCCM¡¯s policy on duplicate publication. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2002; 166:433-434, which can be accessed on the internet by logging on to: http://ajrccm.atsjournals.org/cg/content/full/166/4/433. In addition, a statement by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors on ¡°Redundant or Duplicate Publication¡± can be found in their paper, ¡°Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals,¡± by logging on to: www.icmje.org. This rule does not apply to abstracts or press reports published as a result of a scientific meeting.
Manuscripts will be reviewed by the editor-in-chief and, if appropriate, by an associate editor. If the paper is deemed to be suitable for possible publication, it will be sent to two or more external referees (reviewers). The Journal discourages two-part articles, especially those involving clinical studies. Unless the authors can clearly justify why a study requires two separate submissions, both papers will be rejected. Furthermore, if two separate papers are submitted by the same authors without indicating that they are to be reviewed together, there is no obligation for the Journal to accept both papers together, i.e., one may be accepted and the other may be rejected. In rare instances, two-part papers may be accepted for review articles, e.g., Progress in Geriatrics, Geriatric Bioscience, if the editor deems that the content or subject matter warrants such a lengthy review.
Authors are encouraged to indicate the names of potential referees as well as those whom they wish not to review the paper, but the editors will make the final choice. The average time interval for the initial review process, if it involves both editorial and peer reviews, is approximately 1 month; occasionally, there are unavoidable delays, usually due to multiple reviews and/or several revisions on a manuscript. Decisions conveyed may be acceptance with or without revision, non-acceptance with encouragement to make revisions and resubmit; non-acceptance with encouragement to resubmit in another format, e.g., letter to the editor; or rejection. Manuscripts held for revision will be retained for a maximum of 180 days. Authors who plan to resubmit but cannot meet this deadline should contact the editorial office.
In order to maximize the number of pages that can be published and yet maintain high quality, there are strict limits on the total number of a) text words, b) graphics (tables, figures and appendices combined) and c) references. Authors should carefully read the Categories of Articles section for instructions on not only formatting papers but also the limits on the length of the submission based on total text words, number of graphics and number of references. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THESE GUIDELINES AND LIMITS WILL RESULT IN REJECTION OF THE PAPER. Please indicate on the title page (top or bottom) the total number of a) text words, b) graphics (tables, figures, appendices), and c) references.
The guidelines for publication conform to those of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors ¡°Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.¡± The complete document appears in Annals of Internal Medicine (1997;126:36¨C47) or New England Journal of Medicine (1997;336:309¨C315). An explication of statistical guidelines is presented in John C. Bailar III and Frederick Mostellor, ¡°Guidelines for Statistical Reporting in Articles for Medical Journals,¡± Annals of Internal Medicine (1998;108:266¨C273). In addition, guidelines for preparing structured abstracts conform to those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (1998,280:23¨C24).
The research reported in submitted manuscripts must comply with the ethical rules for human experimentation that are stated in the Declaration of Helsinki (JAMA 1997;277:925¨C926), including approval of an Institutional Review Board¡ªor human experimentation committee¡ªand informed consent. Authors must disclose this compliance in the Methods section of the manuscript.
