Instructions to Authors
Journal of Gerontology: Biological Sciences Instructions to Authors
1. Submission and Acceptance of Manuscripts
Submission of a manuscript to the Journal implies that it has not been published or is not under consideration elsewhere. If accepted for this Journal, it is not to be published elsewhere without permission. As a further condition of publication, the corresponding author will be responsible, where appropriate, for certifying that permission has been received to use copyrighted instruments or software employed in the research and that human or animal subjects approval has been obtained. In the case of co-authored manuscripts, the corresponding author will also be responsible for submitting a letter, signed by all authors, indicating that they actively participated in the collaborative work leading to the publication and agree to be listed as an author on the paper. These assurances will be requested at the time a paper has been formally accepted for publication.
2. Manuscript Preparation for Articles Describing Original Research
- Preparing the manuscript. For manuscripts not submitted online, print out paper double spaced, including references and tables, on 8-1/2" x 11" white paper using 1" margins. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page and including all pages of the submission. A total of four copies must be submitted. Use of IBM-compatible software is encouraged to facilitate electronic typesetting, and a disk including the text, tables, and preferably all figures, must accompany the submission of the manuscript. An updated disk is required upon acceptance. Conciseness of expression is imperative. The Journal follows the abbreviations and other conventions of the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style, 9th ed. (1998), which is available at many academic and technical bookstores. A summary of some style aspects is presented below. Failure to comply with these aspects of submission will delay handling of the manuscript.
- Title page. A title page should include the title of the manuscript, the author's full name(s) and affiliations and the corresponding authors complete mailing address to include name, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. A short running page headline not to exceed 40 letters and spaces should be placed at the foot of the title page.
- Abstract. An abstract of not more than 150 words should be typed, double spaced, on a separate page. It should state the purpose of the study, basic procedures (study participants or experimental animals and observational and analytical methods), main findings, and conclusions.
- Text. The text of observational and experimental articles is usually (but not necessarily) divided into sections with the headings: Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion. Articles may need subheadings within some sections to clarify their content. The Discussion should not merely restate the results but should interpret the results.
- Text references. Number references in the text in the order in which they appear. Use arabic numbers in parentheses, not superscripts. .
- Reference list. Type double spaced. List references by number in the order in which they were first cited in the text. The reference style should conform to that given in the AMA Manual of Style . For periodicals, utilize the title observation as given in Index Medicus and list all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first three and add et al. Examples are shown below.

- Tables. Each table should be typed, double spaced, on a separate sheet. Number tables consecutively using Arabic numbers and supply a brief title at the top for each. Legends and footnotes for the table are typed immediately below the table and should follow the sequence cited in the AMA Manual of Style: *, ? ? ? ||, ? **, ††, etc.
- Illustrations. For a graph or drawing, one glossy or laser print and four photocopies must be included. If photomicrographs are submitted, five glossy prints should be supplied for review purposes. Color photos are published at the expense of the author. Sharp, glossy prints are required for high-quality reproduction. Figures must be professionally lettered in a sans-serif type (e.g., Univers or Helvetica) or from a laser printer. Typewritten/dot matrix lettering will not be acceptable. Letters should be of sufficient size that, when reduced for publication, they will be legible.
- Captions for tables and illustrations. Type captions double spaced on a separate page with numbers corresponding to the illustrations. Explain symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters used in illustrations. Explain internal scale and identify staining method in photomicrographs. Captions for Tables and Illustrations should be adequate to interpret the content of the table or figure without reference to the text.
3. High-Priority Manuscripts
High-priority manuscripts are identified by the Editor or Deputy Editor and the appropriate Associate Editor as: )a) well written and requiring no/minimal revisions; (b) describing a well-designed experiment; and (c) pertaining to an important or topical subject. Such manuscripts will be processed within weeks and published within 3 months of acceptance. Manuscripts should be prepared as in Section 2.
4. Perspectives
Perspectives are usually invited by the Editor, although unsolicited Perspectives may be submitted for consideration. Perspectives are not comprehensive reviews; rather they are focused treatments of controversial or insightful issues of immediate concern. Manuscripts should be prepared as in Section 2.
5. Letters to the Editor
Letters must be typewritten, double spaced, approximately 500 to 750 words. Submit four copies. If appropriate, a copy will be sent to the author of the original article to provide an opportunity for rebuttal. Letters and rebuttals will be reviewed and are subject to editing. Usually both letter and rebuttal will be published in the same issue.
6. Guest Editorials
Guest editorials may be invited but unsolicited editorials may also be submitted. These should not exceed one printed page. Manuscript preparation should follow the guidelines of Section 2. The decision to publish will be exclusively the
Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences Instructions to Authors
1. Manuscript Preparation -- Format and Style
General -- Manuscripts should be prepared according to the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style, 8th ed. (1989). This manual is available at many academic and technical bookstores; some aspects are summarized below. All manuscripts should be typed, double spaced, including references and tables, on 8-1/2" x 11" white paper using 1" margins. Pages should be numbered consecutively beginning with the abstract and including all pages of the submission. A word count (2,500 words or less) should appear on the last page of the article. Submit three copies of the entire manuscript including figures and tables. Online submissions do not require extra copies. The order of presentation should be: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, tables, legends to figures, figures.
A letter of transmittal, signed by all authors, should accompany the submitted manuscript. It should indicate that each author has participated in the research reported, and has agreed to be an author on the paper. It should disclose any financial arrangement they may have with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript or with a company making a competing product. It should certify that this paper has not been published elsewhere, nor is under consideration elsewhere and that if accepted for publication in this journal is not to be published elsewhere (except as Society Proceeding) without permission. If the paper is accepted for publication a copyright transfer agreement will be sent to the first author. As a further condition of publication, the corresponding author will be responsible, where appropriate, for certifying that permission has been received to use copyrighted instruments or software employed in the research and that human or animal subjects approval has been obtained.
To facilitate review we encourage authors to provide the names of three to five potential reviewers with addresses and telephone numbers if available.
2. Original Articles
- Text.Manuscripts should be no longer than 2,500 words. The text should be divided into sections with the headings: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Conciseness of expression is critical. The discussion may include conclusions derived from the study and supported by the data and should avoid excessive reviews of the literature. Number references in the text in the order in which they are first cited. Use arabic numbers in parentheses, not superscripts.
- Title page. The title page should include the title of the manuscript, the author's full name and degrees, and the name and location of the institution(s) where the work was performed. A short running headline not to exceed 40 letters and spaces should be placed at the foot of the title page.
- Abstract. Provide on a separate page an abstract of not more than 250 words. This abstract should consist of four paragraphs, labeled Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. They should briefly describe, respectively, the problem being addressed in the study, how the study was performed, the salient results, and what the authors conclude from the results.
- Conflict of Interest. The Journal asks authors of research articles to disclose at the time of submission any financial arrangement they may have with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript or with a company making a competing product. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial decision, but if the article is accepted for publication, the editors will formally arrange with the authors the manner in which such information is to be communicated to the reader.
- Acknowledgments. Sources of research support, acknowledgments, preliminary reports or abstract presentation, and current location of authors, if different from title page, may be indicated. Give name and address of author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
- References. References should be limited to 40 or less. List references by number in the order in which they were first cited in the text. The reference style should conform to that given in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. For periodicals, utilize the title abbreviation as given in Index Medicus, listing all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only first three and add et al. Examples are shown below:
