About the journal
Carcinogenesis is a multi-disciplinary journal that brings together all the varied aspects of research that will ultimately lead to the prevention of cancer in man. The journal will publish papers that warrant prompt publication in the areas of Cancer Biology (including the processes of promotion, progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, genomic instability, growth factors, cell and molecular biology, mutation, DNA repair, genetics etc.), Molecular Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention (including molecular dosimetry, epidemiology, genetic predisposition to cancer, chemoprevention, nutrition and cancer etc.) and Carcinogenesis (including viral, chemical and physical carcinogenesis, metabolism of carcinogens, and the formation, detection, identification and quantification of environmental carcinogens).
Instructions to Authors
All material to be considered for publication in Carcinogenesis must be submitted in electronic form via the Journal's online submission system. Once you have prepared your manuscript according to the Instructions below, please visit the online submission web site.

Scope and policy of CarcinogenesisCarcinogenesis is a multi-disciplinary journal that brings together all the varied aspects of research that will ultimately lead to the prevention of cancer in man. The journal will publish papers that warrant prompt publication in the areas of Cancer Biology (including the processes of promotion, progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, genomic instability, growth factors, cell and molecular biology, mutation, DNA repair, genetics etc), Molecular Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention (including molecular dosimetry, epidemiology, genetic predisposition to cancer, chemoprevention, nutrition and cancer etc.) and Carcinogenesis (including viral, chemical and physical carcinogenesis, metabolism of carcinogens, and the formation, detection, identification and quantification of environmental carcinogens). The Editors may, from time to time, invite short reviews. Authors wishing to submit a review should contact one of the Editors before submission.

Submission of a paper implies that it reports unpublished work and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If previously published tables, illustrations or more than 200 words of text are to be included, then the copyright holder's written permission must be obtained. Copies of any such permission letters should be sent to the relevant Editor. Authors should identify the section in which they wish their paper to appear, i.e., Cancer Biology, Molecular Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention, or Carcinogenesis, using the designated box within the Manuscript Data Sheet online. The online submission process also requires the author to provide the names and addresses of 3 or 4 potential referees.
ProofsAuthors will be sent pdf proofs, it is imperative that a current email address is included for this purpose. To avoid delays in publication, proofs should be checked immediately for typographical errors and returned to the publishers by express (special delivery) post within 3 days. Alternatively, corrections may be sent via fax +44(0)1865 353773. Essential changes of an extensive nature may be made only by insertion of a Note added in proof. A charge will be made to authors who insist on amendment within the text at the page-proof stage.
Preparation of manuscriptsManuscripts should be in their final form when they are submitted so that proofs will require only correction of typographical errors.
Sections of the manuscript
Regular full-length papers should be subdivided into the following sequence of sections: Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Legends to Figures. In the journal the Materials and methods, Acknowledgements and References will be printed in smaller type to accommodate more text.
General formatAs referees may choose to print out your paper for reviewing purposes, all sections of the manuscript must be double-spaced with margins of 25mm (one inch) left at the sides, top and bottom of each page. Number each page top right (Title Page is 1). Please avoid footnotes, use instead, and as sparingly as possible, parenthesis within brackets.
AbstractThe second page of every manuscript must contain only the Abstract, which should be a single paragraph not exceeding 300 words. Published papers will only have the first 300 words of their abstracts incorporated into Medline, text in excess of this limit will be lost. The Abstract should be comprehensible to readers before they have read the paper, and abbreviations and reference citations should be avoided.
AcknowledgementsThese should be included at the end of the text and not in footnotes. Personal acknowledgements should precede those of institutions or agencies.
ReferencesAuthors are responsible for the accuracy of the References. Published articles and those in press (state the journal which has accepted them) may be included. Arrange references in numerical order with the numbers in the text in brackets and on the line (not as superscripts). Note that all authors' names should be mentioned and the initials follow the name; the date should precede the title; the title should be given in full; the name of the journal should be abbreviated according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals and underlined to indicate italics. References should therefore be listed as follows:
- 1. Saffhill,R., Margison,G. and O'Connor,I. (1985) Mechanisms of carcinogenesis induced by alkylating agents. Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 823, 111-145.
- 2. Hatch,F.T., Felton,J.S., Stuermer,D.H. and Bjeldanes,L.F. (1984) Identification of mutagens from the cooking of food. In de Serres,F.J. (ed.) Chemical Mutagens: Principles and Methods for their Detection. Plenum Press, New York, vol. 9, pp. 111-64.
- 3. Bennett,M.V.L. and Spray,D.C. (1985) Gap Junctions. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY.
Personal communications (J.Smith, personal communication) should be authorized by those involved, in writing, and unpublished data should be cited as (unpublished data). Both should be used as sparingly as possible and only when the unpublished data referred to is peripheral rather than central to the discussion. References to manuscripts in preparation, or submitted but not yet accepted, should be cited in the text as (B.Smith and N.Jones, in preparation) and should NOT be included in the list of references.
TablesTables should be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals, they should be self-explanatory and include a brief descriptive title. Footnotes to tables indicated by lower case letters are acceptable, but they should not include extensive experimental detail. Please supply as rich text format or a word document not as a powerpoint attachment.
IllustrationsAll illustrations (line drawings and photographs) should be referred to in the text as Figure 1 etc., abbreviated to 'Fig. 1.' only in the figure legend. Wherever possible, figures will be sized to fit the width of a single column of text, i.e., 88mm wide. The maximum width of a double column figure is 183mm, the maximum depth is 240mm. Figures with low density data will all be single column width. Please consider the overall page dimensions and layout, and the final reduction necessary for printing. Any lettering should be ~2mm in height in the printed figure (after reduction) and should be in proportion to the overall dimensions of the drawing. Labels should not be disproportionally large, and should show up clearly against the background.
PhotographsWherever possible, these must be submitted in the desired final size so that reduction can be avoided. Ideally, photographs should fit either a single column (88mm) or a double column (183mm). Photographs should be of sufficiently high quality with respect to detail, contrast and fineness of grain to withstand the inevitable loss of contrast and detail inherent in the printing process. Please indicate the magnification by a rule on the photographs.
Colour figuresThere is a special charge for the inclusion of colour figures. The cost is ?95 per figure. (For cost purposes, the definition of a single figure is artwork that can be processed as a unit and printed on a single page without intervening type. Authors should note the potential cost savings inherent in this definition; for example, two consecutive half-page colour figures mounted as a composite and printed on one page, with both legends below or on the facing page, would be treated as one figure.) If there is a choice of colours on a schematic, please choose clearly distinct colours (e.g. not two shades of blue) and avoid black backgrounds if possible.
Line drawingsPlease provide clear, sharp prints, suitable for reproduction as submitted. No additional artwork, redrawing or typesetting will be done. Therefore, all labelling should preferably be made with a lettering set. Ensure that the size of lettering is in proportion with the overall dimensions of the drawing. Ideally, line drawings should be submitted in the desired final size to avoid reduction (maximum dimensions 248 x 185 mm including legends) and should fit either a single (88 mm) or a double column width (185 mm). If submitting line drawings which require reduction, please check that the lettering will be clearly legible after reduction to the size at which it will be printed. After reduction, letters should not be smaller than 1.5 mm in height.
Figure legendsThese should be on a separate, numbered sheet. Define all symbols and abbreviations used in the figure. Common abbreviations and others in the preceding text should not be redefined in the legend.
ConventionsIn general, the journal follows the conventions of the CBE Style Manual (Council of Biology Editors, Bethesda, MD, 1983, 5th edn).
Follow Chemical Abstracts and its indexes for chemical names. For guidance follow the recommendations issued by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Bio-chemical Nomenclature, as given in Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents, published by the Biochemical Society, UK. For enzymes, use the recommended name assigned by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Bio-chemical Nomenclature, 1978, as given in Enzyme Nomenclature, published by Academic Press, New York, 1980. Where possible, use recommended SI (Systeme International) units.
Genotypes should be italicized (underline in typed copy); phenotypes should not be italicized. For bacterial genetics nomenclature follow Demerec et al. (1966) Genetics, 54, 61-76.
AbbreviationsRestrict the use of abbreviations to SI symbols and those recommended by the IUPAC. Abbreviations should be defined in brackets after their first mention in the text. Standard units of measurements and chemical symbols of elements may be used without definition.
Policy concerning availability of materialsIt is understood that by publishing a paper in Carcinogenesis the authors agree to make freely available to colleagues in academic research any of the cells, nucleic acids, antibodies, animals etc. that were used in the research reported and that are not available from commercial suppliers.
Licence to Publish and Conflict of InterestIt is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors grant an exclusive licence to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In giving this exclusive licence, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is notified and acknowledged as the original place of publication, and that Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.
Carcinogenesis policy also requires that all authors sign a conflict of interest statement. If the manuscript is published such information may be communicated in a note following the text and reference.
OffprintsThe publishers supply a link to the paper's URL free of charge. Offprint order forms are sent out with the proofs, and must be returned with the proofs if extra offprints are required. Late orders submitted after the journal is printed are subject to increased prices.
