Vitiligo - Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research receives a large number of manuscripts describing allelic association studies of candidate genes and various common diseases. These manuscripts will undergo preliminary assessement by the Editorial Board, and may be returned without review if there are major statistical genetic deficiences. Such deficiencies may include (but are not limited to): utilization of only simple case-control study design, utilization of study subjects substantially overlapping those used in a previous study of the same gene or variant, failure to utilize appropriate statistical correction for multiple-testing, utilization of inadequate or inappropriate statistial methodology, or failure to fully describe statistical methods used.
HUMAN SUBJECTS
If the manuscript reports results of studies carried out using either human subjects or materials obtained from human subjects, it must be stated in the METHODS section that the study was approved by the appropriate institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee, which must be named, and that appropriate informed consent was obtained from all human subjects.

Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley-Blackwell's Author Services.
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit this page for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research now offers Accepted Articles for all full articles, whereby peer reviewed, accepted articles are published online soon after acceptance, without having been copy-edited or typeset. Accepted Articles appear in PDF-only format, without the accompanying full-text HTML. Each manuscript is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
COVER ART
Members of the pigment cell research community are invited to send in suggestions for colour images to be used as cover art for Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research. The images should be visually exciting and should be relevant to any aspect of pigment cell biology including for example, pigmentation phenotypes or patterns, images from cell or developmental biology or related to melanoma. Images should be uploaded in TIFF or EPS format at the highest possible resolution together with a brief description of the image provided. From those images selected for PCMR covers one will be chosen by the editorial board to be the 'cover of the year' and the individual submitting that image will be entitled to a year's free online subscription to the journal.
Early View
Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at: http://www.doi.org/faq.html. To receive an e-mail alert when your article is published, please see this page.
PRE-SUBMISSION ENGLISH-LANGUAGE EDITING
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. Japanese authors can also find a list of local English improvement services at http://www.wiley.co.jp/journals/editcontribute.html. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Manuscripts should be submitted using the online system, ScholarOne Manuscripts (formerly known as Manuscript Central) (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pcmr). All communications will be made through the online system platform. Assistance is available from the PCMR Editorial Assistant at pcmr@burnham.org. Please see Instructions to Authors at the above webpage for more information.
WORD 2007
Will authors please note that Word 2007 is not yet compatible with journal production systems. Unfortunately, the journal cannot accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents until such time as a stable production version is released. Please use Word's 'Save As' option therefore to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
COPYRIGHT
Authors will be required to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement Form (CTA) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the CTA is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Copyright Transfer Agreement Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various medium/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
NIH-FUNDED AUTHORS AND PIGMENT CELL & MELANOMA RESEARCH
From April 2008, the NIH is mandating grant-holders to deposit their published papers in PubMed Central within 12 months of publication. Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research complies with the NIH mandate in allowing authors to post the accepted version of their article i.e. the version incorporating any amendments made during peer review, 12 months after publication. In doing so authors will be meeting the terms of their grant (http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#general).
As an alternative, NIH-funded authors may use the Online Open service (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/authorresources/onlineopen.html#OnlineOpen_Terms). This service grants free and immediate availability of the article on publication, and deposition of the final pdf version with PubMed Central.
ONLINE OPEN
Authors who wish for their article to be freely available to everyone can choose to submit the article as an OnlineOpen article. There is a basic fixed fee of $3000 for Online Open. Excess page charges and colour artwork charges will need to be paid for seperately - more information on those charges can be found beloe. Publication of OnlineOpen articles is conditioned upon the author signing the Open Access Exclusive License Form found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/pcr_oof.pdf
TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS CONSIDERED
Original Research Articles - Research papers consisting of: Summary, Introduction, Results, Discussion and Materials and Methods sections are required (Results and Discussion may be combined if the author wishes). Literature cited should be succinct and preferably limited to seven journal printed pages (about 55 000 characters including data, and 50 references).
Short Article (Communications) - report data on research projects that have progressed to a point where important preliminary observations should be disseminated; a Summary is required but organization into Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections is not required. Communications will be published as quickly as possible within journal production schedules. Limit to three printed pages (about 25 000 characters including data).
Concept - focused discussion of a specific question, emerging problem, or a controversial topic. Concept is expected to provide a data-based view and is often solicited from few contributors to allow coverage from different expertise.
Hypothesis - short write-ups that offer a novel hypothesis that may offer new concept and direction in solving existing problem. These not need to always be based on exiting data.
Resource - provides list of reagents (antibodies, cell lines, mouse lines) which are valuable to the pigment and melanoma community. This is a single page outline with possible links to online information and relevant references.
Letters to the Editor - Letters to the Editor will be considered for publication if they address important, topical issues such as an unexpected and novel research finding, or are a response to, or a comment on, a previous publication. Limit to about two pages and 12 references. Exceptions are made based on Editorial decisions.
The following types of articles are usually invited but authors wishing to contribute such manuscripts should contact the Executive Editors or Editor in Chief in advance to see if the proposed article would be considered by the Editorial Board.
Review Articles - in which a specific field is reviewed through an exhaustive literature survey; an Abstract is required. Reviews may be as long as 12 journal pages with no more than 200 references.
Innovative Technology - describe novel and innovative approaches to the study of pigmentation and melanoma biology. Limit to three journal printed pages with about 12 references.
News & Views - News and Views articles are written by invitation only. These articles are short (maximum of 2 printed pages) and with a maximum of 5 references. They are intended to bring to the attention of the readership of Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research papers with a pigment cell-related theme irrespective of the journal of publication. Given the nature of these papers, no acknowledgement paragraph should be included and the paper(s) being commented on should be listed as 'coverage of' and should not appear in the references.
AUTHOR MATERIAL ARCHIVE POLICY
Please note that unless specifically requested, Wiley-Blackwell will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Manuscripts must be submitted in clear, concise English. They should have 1.5 line spacing throughout. Text should be typed in Times New Roman, 11 point. All manuscript pages should be numbered consecutively at the top right, beginning with the title page as #1. Manuscripts should have a uniform style and should be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Subdivisions should be provided as appropriate in the following sequence: (1) Title page (2) Summary (3) Text (4) Acknowledgments (5) References (6) Tables (7) Figure legends, and (8) Figures. More detailed instructions for manuscript preparation can be found in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biochemical Journals.
PAGE LIMITS
Articles longer than the guidelines given above will be subject to a page charge for excess journal pages above those limits, at GBP100 per page. One journal page will generally contain 2.5 - 3 pages of double-spaced text (approximately 800 words), 2 or 3 Figures or Tables, or 50 references.
LAYOUT
1) Title Page - The first page of the manuscript should include, in the following order: (a) Title of paper, (b) Full Name of author(s), (c) Institutional Affiliation with complete mailing address, (d) a specific mailing address, telephone number, fax number and Email address to whom correspondence concerning the manuscript should be sent and (e) total word count of manuscript, including abstract, text, references and figure legends.
2) Summary - The summary must be less than 150 words, and must be written in complete sentences to succinctly state the objectives and experimental design of the paper, principal observations and conclusions. The summary should be intelligible without reference to the rest of the paper, and nonstandard abbreviations should not be used (cf List of Abbreviations that follows).
3) Significance - The Significance paragraph consists of a single paragraph of no more than 100 words. The main goal of the Significance paragraph is to explain the significance of the finding and the relevance of the work in the context of the wider melanoma and pigment cell biology field to a broad readership, from basic to clinical research scientists. No references should be included. Please note that a paragraph on significance is not required for review articles.
4) Keywords - list 5 to 7 KeyWords including those in the Title.
5) Running Title - provide a running title of up to 50 characters.
6) Text - The text should be organized in Sections in the following order: (a) INTRODUCTION, (b) RESULTS, (c) DISCUSSION and (d) METHODS (the Results and Discussion sections can be combined into a single section at the authors discretion). Section headings should be bolded and aligned on the left margin. Subheadings should be used where appropriate and should be in Sentence Case and bolded, and also aligned on the left margin. Italics other than that should be used only for gene names, in upper case for human genes (e.g. TYR), and in lower case except initial capital for all other species (e.g. Tyr). Current nomenclature for genes (and gene products) can be found at the Jackson Laboratory Mouse Genome Informatics site (For color loci, Choose: Genetic and Phenotypic Data, Go to: Genes, Markers and Phenotypes, Search for: Physiological: Color and White Spotting, then Retrieve), the NIHs Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man site, or the Coat Color Gene Table at the IFPCS InterPig Database. Suppliers of materials should be named and their location (town, state/county, country) included.
5) Acknowledgements - should be listed for sources of research reagents used; support by grants and Institutions may also be listed.
6) References - should follow the Harvard style of references, outlined below, and should be cited in the text as: 'White (2001) has shown...' or '...as shown earlier (Blanc and White, 1999; Weiss et al., 2000)'. When different groups of authors with the same first author and year of publication occur, they should be cited thus, Weiss et al. (2000a,b), to differentiate clearly between them. Multiple citations should be listed alphabetically by author surname. References should be listed at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author and chronologically where several papers by the same author are listed. The list of references should include only articles that have been published or are currently in press and should be cited in the text in author-date format (eg. Barral and Seabra, 2004; Cowan et al., 1997) and listed in alphabetical order in the reference section. Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, abstracts and personal communications should be cited within the text only. Personal communication should be documented by a letter of permission. If there are more than 10 authors, 'et al.' should be used and journal titles should be abbreviated following Index Medicus. Please use the following style for references in the reference list:

6) Tables - Each Table must be cited in the text and must have brief but descriptive title. Information other than that defining the data should be presented as a footnote. Tabular material should be simple and uncomplicated, with as few vertical and horizontal rules as possible. Footnotes in Tables must be typed directly beneath the table and numbered 1, 2, 3, etc, i.e. they are not numbered in sequence with text footnotes.
7) Figure Legends - Figures in the text should be numbered using sequential Arabic numerals, and each should be cited in the text.
8) Figures - To maintain consistency within the journal, figures should be prepared using Helvetica or Arial font and should be largely understandable without reference to the figure legend. Illustrations should be no larger than 203 x 254 mm (8 x 10 inches). Figures should preferably fill a single column (width = 82 mm), but if necessary for clarity and detail, they may span a full page (width = 171 mm). Figures should ideally be submitted in electronic format (see below) but if sufficient resolution is not achieved, original drawings or high-quality photographs may be supplied. The editor recommends using the guidelines below.
- Resolution of halftone figures must be at least 600 dpi and line figures 800 dpi.
- After reduction symbols should be at least 2-3 mm high (10 point).
- All figures should be submitted at final reproduction size.
- Figures made in PowerPoint are not suitable for reproduction.
Note that for all figures, the original digital images must be acquired at a minimum 300dpi and the labelling applied at this high resolution. Images acquired at lower resolution, labelled and then subject to a digital resolution increase are not acceptable. This is especially a problem with figures made in PowerPoint which cannot be subsequently processed to yield sufficient resolution. To check the resolution of your image just zoom in 400% and examine whether the text and other components of the image are pixelated. If so it is unlikely the image will be acceptable. Images supplied at the wrong resolution can mean severe delays in publication of the accepted manuscript.
Image manipulation - Digital figures adjusted with computer software are acceptable. However, the final image must remain representative of the original data and cannot be enhanced, obscured or rearranged. Unacceptable modifications include the addition, alteration or removal of a particular feature of an image. All digital images in manuscripts accepted for publication will be examined for any improper modification and if evidence of such inappropriate modification is detected, the Editor of the journal will request the original data to be supplied for comparison to the prepared figures and if necessary revoke acceptance of the article. Cases of deliberate misrepresentation of data will result in revocation of acceptance, and will be reported to the corresponding author's home institution or funding agency.
Guidelines on the submission of electronic artwork are available on-line here.
Color Figures - It is the policy of Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork, unless in exeptional circumstances the Editor decides to accept those costs. The cost of colour printing in this Journal has recently gone down, with the first figure costing 150 GBP and all subsequent figures 50 GBP each. Therefore, please note that if there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Wiley-Blackwell require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/SN_Sub2000_X_CoW.pdf. If you are unable to download the form, please contact the Production Editor at lrobb@wiley.com and they will be able to email or FAX a form to you. Once completed, please return the form to the Production Editor by fax to +44 (0)131226 3803.Any article received by Blackwell Publishing with colour work will not be published until the form has been returned.
