About the journal
AUTISM RESEARCH will cover the developmental disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (or autism spectrum disorders - ASDs). The Journal focuses on basic genetic, neurobiological and psychological mechanisms and how these influence developmental processes in ASDs.
The Journal encourages the submission of articles that take a developmental approach to the biology and psychology of autism, with a particular emphasis on identifying underlying mechanisms and integrating across different levels of analysis. Usually papers should be empirical, but the Journal is willing to accept theoretical papers if they significantly advance thinking. Individuals included in research studies can span the full spectrum of ASD, including the broader phenotype, and there are no restrictions on study participants in terms of age or intellectual ability. The Journal is willing to take papers reporting work on animals or fundamental biology that are directly relevant to a greater understanding of ASDs.
Instructions to Authors
EDITORIAL POLICIES
Authors should carefully review and implement these instructions. We will return manuscripts that do not substantially conform to specifications. If questions remain, authors may contact the Editorial Receiving Office for guidance. When necessary, the editorial staff can refer unanswered questions to the Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editors. Electronic mail is preferred for editorial correspondence. Authors who submit to the Journal may also be asked to make themselves available for an interview should the editorial team wish to highlight the author’s work in a podcast.
Submission policy: Manuscripts should be submitted solely to AUTISM RESEARCH and may not have been published, or be under consideration for publication, in any substantial form in another periodical—professional or lay. If there is a related paper under consideration at another journal, a copy of that paper should be submitted with the primary manuscript as supporting information.
Ethical compliance: If applicable, the editorial office should receive assurance that work performed on human and animal subjects complies with standards established by an appropriate ethics review committee (IRB in the United States) and the granting agency. If the manuscript includes data or description of humans, the authors must provide either of these two assurances: (1) a statement in the manuscript that the research was prospectively reviewed and approved by a duly constituted ethics committee or (2) a statement in the cover letter to the editor that the manuscript is a retrospective case report that does not require ethics committee approval at that institution. Any other situations not covered by these two scenarios should be discussed with the editorial staff.
Conflicts of Interest: All authors are required to complete a conflict of interest form prior to publication of an accepted manuscript.
The journal’s decision-making process is very stringent regarding which manuscripts we can consider for review and publication. Instead of delaying decisions for all submissions through peer review, we send out for in-depth review only those papers that fit the journal's scope and are most likely to be published in Autism Research.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Cover letter: Authors must submit a cover letter, in a separate file, stating that all contributors have read and approved the submission to AUTISM RESEARCH . Submission of a paper by a student, fellow, house-officer, or other kind of trainee implies that the first author has obtained, if necessary local approval of submission.
All submissions are required to be made online at the AUTISM RESEARCH Manuscript Central site ( http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/autismresearch ). If you are submitting for the first time, and you do not have an existing account, create a new account. You will be asked to assign keywords to your profile. Returning users should check for an existing account.
Once you are logged onto the site, submission should be made via the Author Center page. Submit your manuscript and all figures as separate files. You do not need to mail any paper copies of your manuscript. You will be required to submit suggested reviewers, however, the editorial office reserves the right to not use these suggested reviewers. At the end of a successful submission, a confirmation screen with manuscript number will appear and you will receive an e-mail confirming that the manuscript has been received by the journal. If you do not receive this mail, please check your submission and/or contact tech support at E-mail: support@scholarone.com.
Only manuscripts written in acceptable English will be considered. If the author does not have English-writing skills equivalent to that of a native English speaker, the manuscript should be appropriately edited prior to submission to avoid rejection based on unacceptable writing. Manuscripts should be as concise as possible, and all authors must approve submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts must be original and must not have been published previously either in whole or in part, except in abstract form, and must not be under consideration by any other journal. Manuscripts should include all relevant detail concerning subjects and procedures (e.g. medication status of participants. When there is doubt authors should err on the side of caution.)
Revisions : We strive for speedy review and rapid publication of accepted papers. To be considered as a revised manuscript rather than as a new manuscript requiring full review, manuscripts requiring revisions must be resubmitted within sixty days (for minor revisions) and ninety days (for major revisions) of the decision date. If an author anticipates the need for a longer period of time, please contact the editorial office.
TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION
Editorial . These typically consist of no more than 1,000 to 1,500 words and usually do not have subheadings. Editorials are generally invited. Authors interested in submitting an editorial are welcome to contact the Editorial Receiving Office. AUTISM RESEARCH does not publish Letters or Letters to the Editor.
Review. These can be short perspective-type reviews or longer comprehensive reviews generally ranging from 7,000 to 8,000 words or less. The text of the review should be organized appropriately for the topic and include a short perspectives or future directions section at the end. Review articles are generally invited. Authors interested in submitting a review are welcome to contact the Editorial Receiving Office.
Research Article s. Original research articles of broad interest and potential for high impact are encouraged. The text of these articles should include an introduction, methods and results and a discussion. Descriptive articles should be a maximum of 5,000 words or less in length.
Short Reports. These can be in the form of a descriptive article or a research report and typically should not exceed 2,000 words. The text of these manuscripts should be organized appropriately.
If there are extenuating circumstances that would require an author to extend the length of an article, please contact the editorial office with specific details and rationale for the Editor-in-Chief’s consideration.
FORMAT
The manuscript should have uniform style and be submitted exactly as the author wishes it to appear in print. It should be as concise as possible without omitting relevant results. All manuscript text in each of the sections described below must be double spaced.
The manuscript should be subdivided into the following sequence with each section beginning on a new page:
Title Page
Lay Abstract: Submit a brief (max 250 words) description of the paper that is understandable by the general public and which avoids technical terminology: this abstract will appear on the publicly accessible part of the Society’s website.
Scientific Abstract: Submit an abstract of 250 words or less that will serve in lieu of a concluding summary. The abstract must be written in complete sentences. It should concisely state the questions addressed, the methods used, the main results and their significance without reference to the rest of the paper. Append three to eight key words at the end of the abstract or the purposes of citing your work by the secondary services.
Text: This material should be divided into sections appropriate for the type of manuscript being submitted.
Acknowledgments
Literature Cited (APA format style)
Footnotes
Tables
Figure Legends
Title page: The first page of the manuscript should include:
Title of paper
Full name of author(s)
Institutional affiliation and complete address
Telephone and facsimile numbers and e-mail address of the corresponding author
Running title not to exceed 45 letters and spaces
Individual and address to whom correspondence concerning manuscript should be sent All grant information in the following format: Grant sponsor ________; Grant number: _________.
Abbreviation and Units
Use standard abbreviations. Spell out all nonstandard abbreviations the first time used. Abbreviations are contained in the current edition of the CBE style manual (sixth edition, 1994, Council of Biology Editors, Inc. Suite 230 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60601). Spelling reference is to the current edition of Webster's International Dictionary. In items of human gene nomenclature, this journal adheres to the principles specified in HUGO’s HGNC guidelines http://www.genenames.org/guidelines.html where appropriate.
Figures and Legends
At acceptance of the manuscript, the authors must submit the final revised version of an accepted manuscript (text, tables, and illustrations) online. Text files must be submitted as .doc or .rtf files. Tables must be submitted as .doc or .rtf files (which can be embedded in the text file) or as separate .xls files. Figures must be submitted as .tif or .eps files. Do not submit PDFs, jpegs, or PowerPoint files. Please select LWZ compression (an option in the "save" process of programs such as Photoshop) when saving your figures. This is a lossless compression routine that reduces the size of your figures without compromising their quality.
Figures should be submitted as electronic images to fit either one (55 mm, 2 3/16”, 13 picas), two (115 mm, 4 1/2”, 27 picas), or three (175 mm, 6 7/8”, 41 picas) columns. The length of an illustration cannot exceed 227 mm (9”). Journal quality reproduction requires grey scale and color files at resolutions of 300 dpi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions of 600-1200 dpi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged, resolutions should be increased accordingly.
Helvetica typeface is preferred for lettering of illustrations. All letters, numbers and symbols must be at least 2 mm high. Courier typeface should be used for sequence figures. Number figures in one consecutive series with Arabic numerals, and key them into the text. Submit a brief descriptive legend with each illustration, and do not repeat results in figure legends. Legends for each figure should not exceed 200 words. Abbreviations used in figures and legends must match exactly those used in the text. Submission of potential cover photos is encouraged; upon submission, these should be uploaded as a supplemental figure entitled, "cover photo". A minimum resolution of 300 dpi size of 8.5 × 11” is required for consideration.
Color Figures
Color figures, when deemed necessary, may be published in print free of charge at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. If the use of color does not fit within the Editor-in-Chief’s criteria or color budget, authors will be requested to pay the cost of reproducing color figures in print at the cost of $500 per page (upon acceptance of the manuscript, the publisher will provide price quotes). Color online is always published free of charge. Authors are encouraged to group color illustrations onto a single page without sacrificing the clarity of the manuscript. The publisher reserves the right to regroup illustrations and change their size and position to utilize color pages efficiently.
Tables
Each table must have a self-explanatory title, be numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numerals and be cited at an appropriate point in the text. Tables should present comparisons of data that are too cumbersome to describe in the text; they should not merely repeat text information.
Supplementary Online Material
Authors are invited to submit supplementary material for their articles to be posted in the electronic version of the AUTISM RESEARCH on Wiley Online Library. Supplementary material may include (but is not limited to) video clips, large sections of tabular data, program code, or electronic graphical files that are otherwise not suitable for print media. Supplementary material must be submitted at the time of peer review.
1. For supplementary data other than simple image files, the data and the README file should be archived together using one of the popular archive protocols such as ZIP, TAR, GZIP, or SIT. If you have more than one piece of supplementary material, you should submit a separate archive for each, with an accompanying README file, however, if it is intended that the multiple files be downloaded as a single unit by the end user, submit one archive and one README file.
2. Data file types. There are no restrictions on file types of the data that you submit. Please keep in mind, however, that the more universal the file type the more accessible it is to the community. The use of popular compression protocols is highly encouraged. If your material is presented in PostScript format, it will be converted to an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.
3. Publication and Access. Supplementary material for published articles will be made available via the online edition of the Journal.
Movies
Movies should be submitted online in QuickTime 4.0 or higher format; .mpeg and .avi files are also acceptable. All movies should be submitted at the desired reproduction size and length. To avoid excessive delays in downloading the files, movies should be no more than 6MB in size, and run between 30–60 seconds in length. Authors are encouraged to use QuickTime's "compress" option when preparing files to help control file size. Additionally, cropping frames and image sizes can significantly reduce file sizes. Files submitted can be looped to play more than once, provided file size does not become excessive. Authors will be notified if problems exist with videos as submitted, and will be asked to modify them. No editing will be done to the videos at the editorial office—all changes are the responsibility of the author.
Linking to Databases
Authors may submit genetic and protein database information with their manuscript for the databases listed below and a hypertext link will appear in the online version of the article.
The Genome Database (GDB)
Protein Databank (PDB)
Genbank
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB)
Entrez Genomes
Entrez Proteins
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)
SpecInfo
ExPasy
To create hypertext links authors must supply the gene name as appears in the article, the database where the record appears, and the database specific identification number or name. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure that the database information that is provided with the manuscript is correct and up to date. The publisher will not submit new information to the databases. Incorrect information will result in the omission of hypertext links in the article. For those articles containing gene and protein sequence information with a corresponding database record (see list of databases above) hyperlinked database queries will be added to the online version for the full text HTML.
References
Reference should be made only to articles that are published or in press. Unpublished results and personal communications should be cited parenthetically in the text, not in the reference list. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. References in the text should be made by author’s name followed by the year of publication, arranged chronologically, then alphabetically. When there are more than two authors, use the first author’s name and et al.
When references are made to more than one paper by the same author, published in the same year, designate them as a, b, c, etc. In the final list, arrange references alphabetically listing the first six authors, followed by et. al. where applicable, then year of publication. Spell out journal names in roman style, following these examples:
