About the journal

Mission statement:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to become the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology.
It will this cover all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the 21st century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal will therefore strive to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (eg. Material sciences/biological/toxicological/pharmacological/psychological aspects). The content of the journal will also reflect documentation of the possible side effects of rehabilitation, and include prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
Basic sciences are developing rapidly in contemporary society, but it may take some time before important new knowledge finds its way into daily clinical practise. Good clinical science deals with the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of individual patients. We need well-educated dentists to identify the numerous unsolved questions relevant to oral rehabilitation, in order to stimulate clinical and basic sciences to provide scientifically documented answers. It is the intention of the journal to stimulate contributions, which may help to bridge the gap between relevant basic sciences and clinical dentistry.
The focus for the journal will be to present original research findings; to generate critical reviews; relevant case stories, and to stimulate commentaries and professional debates in Letters to the Editor.
We will invite relevant commercial interests to engage in the journal in order to make it the international forum for debate between dental clinical dental clinical sciences and industry, which share a common goal: to improve the quality of oral rehabilitation.
Submission:
Online submission and refereeing will be introduced. The quality of the refereeing will determine standard of the journal and well-scrutinised manuscripts make the scientific content easier to assess. Print ISSN: 0305-182X
Online ISSN: 1365-2842

Instructions to Authors
Hard-copy submission of manuscripts
When submitting a manuscript by hard copy, please send two copies of the manuscript (original and one copy), double-spaced throughout including references, along with an electronic copy on diskette or CD (other media such as zip disks are not acceptable) and four copies of any related papers under consideration or in press elsewhere to the following address:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation - Temporary submission of manuscripts
Blackwell Munksgaard
Professional Division
1, Rosenørns All?BR>P.O. Box 227
DK-1502 Copenhagen V
DENMARK
E-mail: submission@mks.blackwellpublishing.com
Authors may include supplementary information for the referees inspection. Again, please provide four copies, clearly labelled. The manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter from the corresponding author, who should be clearly identified on the title page. (The corresponding author for editorial purposes need not be the senior author, nor the person to whom correspondence is addressed after publication). The cover letter might contain recommendations for referees, although these will not necessarily be followed.
If the manuscript includes personal communications, please provide a written statement of permission from any person who is quoted. Printouts of e-mail permission messages are acceptable.
Please note that even if a manuscript is submitted as hard copy, an electronic version of the final version of all accepted manuscripts (on disk) should be supplied to the editorial office. Detailed information on our digital illustration standards is available at: http://www.blackwell-science.com/elecmed/digilla.htm
After 1st January 2004 only online submissions will be accepted.
Types of papers accepted
Research Articles must describe significant and original observations and provide sufficient detail so that the observations can be critically evaluated and, if necessary, repeated.
Short Communications that describe highly original findings and that justify rapid publication will also be considered for publication. Short Communications should be limited to 3 500 words including references, or the equivalent space if tables and figures are included. Each Short Communication should be preceded by a succinct summary. Manuscripts need not be divided into sections as for full-length papers but can be so divided at the authors discretion. Editorial and publishing procedures will be expedited to assure rapid publication. In general, papers will be either accepted or rejected. Papers that require significant modification in response to referees comments will be rejected.
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation publishes Commentaries, Reviews, Debates, Letters to the Editor (on articles published in the Journal) and Book Reviews. Debates are generally two separate papers reflecting opposing views on a controversial issue. Commentaries are opinion pieces on topics of general interest to the dental community. They need not be confined to purely scientific topics; policy issues and social implications may also be covered. Suggestions for Debates, Commentaries and Book Reviews are welcome.
Organization of Research Articles
Authors should pay special attention to the presentation of their findings so that they may be communicated clearly. Technical jargon should be avoided as much as possible and clearly explained where its use is unavoidable. Abbreviations should also be kept to a minimum, particularly those that are not standard. The background and hypotheses underlying the study, as well as its main conclusions, should be clearly explained. Titles and abstracts especially should be written in language that will be readily intelligible to any scientist.
Title: must be concise and contain no more than 100 characters including spaces. The title page should include a running title of no more than 50 characters; 5-10 key words, complete names of institutions for each author, and the name, address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address for the corresponding author. The title page should also include the date of submission (or revision/resubmission).
Abbreviations: Journal of Oral Rehabilitation adheres to the conventions outlined in Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Medical and Scientific Editors and Authors. Non-standard abbreviations must be used three or more times and written out completely in the text when first used.
Abstract: is limited to 250 words in length and should not contain abbreviations. References must be cited in full.
Main Text
Introduction: should be focused, outlining the historical or logical origins of the study and not summarize the results; exhaustive literature reviews are not appropriate.
Materials and Methods: must contain sufficient detail such that, in combination with the references cited, all experiments reported can be fully reproduced. As a condition of publication, authors are required to make materials and methods used freely available to academic researchers for their own use. This includes antibodies and the constructs used to make transgenic animals, although not the animals themselves. Papers reporting protein or DNA sequences and crystallographic structure determinations will not be accepted without a Genbank or Brookhaven accession number, respectively. Other supporting data sets must be made available on the publication date from the authors directly.
(i) Experimental Subjects: When human subjects are used, manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement that the experiments were undertaken with the understanding and written consent of each subject. Authors should be aware of the Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki), which has been printed in the British Medical Journal (18 July 1964).
When experimental animals are used the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort. Experiments should be carried out in accordance with the Guidelines laid down by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the USA regarding the care and use of animals for experimental procedures or with the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC).
All studies using human or animal subjects should include an explicit statement in the Material and Methods section identifying the review and approval committee for each study, if applicable.
Editors reserve the right to reject papers if there is doubt as to whether appropriate procedures have been used.
(ii) Suppliers:
Suppliers of materials should be named and, with the exception of well-known suppliers, such as Straumann, Colgate and Biora, their location (town, state/county, country) included.
Results: should present the observations with minimal reference to earlier literature or to possible interpretations.
Discussion: may usefully start with a brief summary of the major findings, but repetition of parts of the abstract or of the results section should be avoided.
References: References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in parentheses. References cited only in tables or figure legends should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or figure.
Use the style of the examples below, which are based on the formats used by the NLM in Index Medicus. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. Consult the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus, published annually as a separate publication by the library and as a list in the January issue of Index Medicus. The list can also be obtained through the library's web site (http://www.nlm.nih.gov).
Journals (If more than six authors please list the first six authors followed by et al.): Vega KJ, Pina I, Krevsky B. Heart transplantation is associated with an increased risk for pancreatobiliary disease. Ann Intern Med 1996 Jun 1;124 (11):980-3.
Books: Ringsven MK, Bond D. Gerontology and leadership skills for nurses. 2nd ed. Albany (NY): Delmar Publishers; 1996.
In press: Leshner AI. Molecular mechanisms of cocaine addiction. N Engl J Med. In press 1996.
Acknowledgements: should follow the References. Journal of Oral Rehabilitation requires that all sources of institutional, private and corporate financial support for the work within the manuscript must be fully acknowledged, and any potential conflicts of interest noted. Grant or contribution numbers may be acknowledged, and principal grant holders should be listed. Acknowledgments should be brief and should not include thanks to anonymous referees and editors.
Figures: All figures should be planned to fit within either 1 column width (8.0 cm), 1.5 column widths (13.0 cm) or 2 column widths (17.0 cm), and must be suitable for photocopy reproduction from the printed version of the manuscript. Lettering on figures should be in a clear, sans serif typeface (e.g. Helvetica); if possible, the same typeface should be used for all figures in a paper. After reduction for publication, upper-case text and numbers should be at least 1.5-2.0 mm high (10 point Helvetica). After reduction symbols should be at least 2.0-3.0 mm high (10 point). All half-tone photographs should be submitted at final reproduction size. In general, multi-part figures should be arranged as they would appear in the final version. Each copy should be marked with the figure number and the corresponding authors name. Reduction to the scale that will be used on the page is not necessary, but any special requirements (such as the separation distance of stereo pairs) should be clearly specified.
Unnecessary figures and parts (panels) of figures should be avoided: data presented in small tables or histograms, for instance, can generally be stated briefly in the text instead. Figures should not contain more than one panel unless the parts are logically connected; each panel of a multipart figure should be sized so that the whole figure can be reduced by the same amount and reproduced on the printed page at the smallest size at which essential details are visible.
Figures should be on a white background, and should avoid excessive boxing, unnecessary colour, shading and/or, decorative effects (e.g. 3-dimensional skyscraper histograms) and highly pixelated computer drawings. The vertical axis of histograms should not be truncated to exaggerate small differences. The line spacing should be wide enough to remain clear on reduction to the minimum acceptable printed size.
Figures divided into parts should be labeled with a lower-case, boldface, roman letter, a, b, and so on, in the same typesize as used elsewhere in the figure. Lettering in figures should be in lower-case type, with the first letter capitalized. Units should have a single space between the number and the unit, and follow SI nomenclature or the nomenclature common to a particular field. Thousands should be separated by thin spaces (1 000). Unusual units or abbreviations should be spelled out in full or defined in the legend. Scale bars should be used rather than magnification factors, with the length of the bar defined in the legend rather than on the bar itself. In general, visual cues (on the figures themselves) are preferred to verbal explanations in the legend (e.g. broken line, open red triangles etc.)
Colour figures
It is the policy of Journal of Oral Rehabilitation for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork. Selected colour illustrations may be produced free of charge at the discretion of the Editor in Chief.

Permissions
If all or part of previously published illustrations are to be used, permission must be obtained from the copyright holder concerned.
Figure Legends: should be a separate section of the manuscript, and should begin with a brief title for the whole figure and continue with a short description of each panel and the symbols used; they should not contain any details of methods.
Tables: should be double-spaced with no vertical rulings, with a single bold ruling beneath the column titles. Units of measurements must be included in the column title.
Supplementary Materials
Supplementary material, such as data sets or additional figures or tables, that will not be published in the print edition of the journal but which will be viewable in the online edition can be submitted. Please see Submission of Supplementary Material section below for more details.
Supplementary video clips may be submitted on 100 MB Zip, DVD or CD-ROM disk for inclusion in Journal of Oral Rehabilitation on Blackwell Synergy. Video clips must be referenced in the text and representative micrographs included in the print version of Journal of Oral Rehabilitation. Movie clips should not be larger than 5 MB, and run for no longer than 1 minute.
Submission of Supplementary Material
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation provides the opportunity to publish adjuncts to printed papers via the supplementary material website. These may include videos, large data sets, extra colour illustrations, extensive bibliographies, or any other material for which insufficient space in the journal is available. Material replicating the printed paper is not acceptable.
The Editor should be contacted at the time of submission of your paper, and the extra material supplied should ideally be viewable by web browser, and accompanied by a printed copy where possible. Failure to supply material viewable by browser may delay the decision on your paper.
All adjuncts accepted for publication by the Editor should ideally be viewable by web browser and ready for mounting directly on the website, as specified below. Failure to supply material viewable by browser may delay the publication of your paper. Subsequent requests for changes are generally unacceptable, as for printed papers. A charge may be levied for this service.
Preparation of supplementary material
Although provision of content through the web in any format is straightforward, supplementary material is best provided either in web-ready form or in a form that can be conveniently converted into one of the standard web publishing formats:
Simple word-processing files (.doc or .rtf) for text.
PDF for more complex, layout-dependent text or page-based material. Acrobat files can be distilled from Postscript by the Publisher, if necessary.
GIF or JPEG for still graphics. Graphics supplied as EPS or TIFF are also acceptable.
Video footage etc., e.g. MOV or AVI files, will be viewable by those readers with the necessary application. The author should provide site details of any shareware that may be required to view such a file.
Publication Schedule
Papers that do not conform to the general aims and scope of the journal will be returned immediately without review. All other manuscripts will be reviewed by experts in the field (generally two reviewers and an Editor). Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to forward reviewers comments and to inform the corresponding author of the result of the review process. Manuscripts will be considered for "fast-track publication" under special circumstances after consultation with the Editor-in-Chief.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent via e-mail as an Acrobat PDF (portable document format) file. The e-mail server must be able to accept attachments up to 4MB in size. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. Proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. In your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your e-mail to retrieve the proofs.
Copyright Assignment
Authors submitting a paper do so on the understanding that the work has not been published before, is not being considered for publication elsewhere and has been read and approved by all of the authors. If and when a manuscript is accepted for publication in Journal of Oral Rehabilitation , the corresponding author must agree to assign (on behalf of all authors) exclusive copyright, which covers translation rights and the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute all of the articles published in the journal, to Blackwell Publishing the Copyright Assignment Form. No material published in the journal may be stored on microfilm or videocassettes, or in electronic databases and the like, without the written permission of the publisher.
Costs
There are no submission fees or page charges. Reproduction of colour figures will be charged to authors at cost (please see Colour figures section above).
