Notice to Authors
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine is one of the oldest and
the most prestigious periodicals in Japan and the world. The TJEM is open to
original articles in all branches of medical sciences from authors throughout the
world. Case reports, which advance significantly our knowledge on medical
sciences or practice, are also accepted. Review articles will also be considered.
Please approach the Editor-in-Chief before submitting a review article. All types
of papers are intended to present new information of exceptional novelty,
importance and interest to the broad readership of the TJEM.
The articles should be written in English. Papers, which will be
simultaneously or have been published in any other periodicals or proceedings,
will not be accepted. The TJEM welcomes full papers requiring prompt
publication.
Manuscripts submitted under multiple authorship are reviewed on the
assumption that all listed authors concur in the submission and that the final
version of the manuscript has been seen and approved by all authors.
Authors should submit their manuscript files online. A single PDF file is
required for submission. Note that the PDF file should contain the entire content
of a manuscript (text, references, and all illustrations). Prospective authors
should go to the TJEM web page and follow the instructions for submitting a
manuscript; http://ess.jstage.jst.go.jp/contributor/TJEM/contribLogin

Please note that final decision on reviewers used is at the discretion of the
Editorial Board.
Before preparing manuscripts authors are advised to consult a recent issue
of the TJEM for the general format such as layout of tables and citation of
references. The manuscripts should be typewritten double-spaced. The title of
the paper, the name(s) of the author(s) and institution(s) where the work was
performed should be followed by an abstract of less than 250 words and by five
keywords. The title and the abstract should be written for readers outside the
discipline. The abstract should contain the rationale, objectives, findings, and
main conclusions of the work.
Informed Consent and Animal Welfare: In cases where a study deals with
human subjects or live animals, the Methods section of the manuscript should
include a statement that all experiments were performed in compliance with the
relevant laws and/or institutional guidelines. A statement should also be included
that informed consent was obtained from human subjects.
Each table and figure must have a caption. Each table is accompanied by its
legend typewritten double-spaced on a same sheet, and figure legends, also
typewritten double-spaced, are to be separated from the main text. Photographs
of high quality may be requested for printing of morphological data.
References should be listed at the end of the Discussion in alphabetical
order under the first author's name: Surname(s), followed by initials of
forename(s); year of publication (in parentheses); title of article; title of
periodical (abbreviated according to Index Medicus and italic); number of
volume (bold); and the first and last pages. Publications by the same author(s) in
the same year should be listed as 2007a, 2007b, etc. When a book is referred to,
author's name; year of publication (in parentheses); title of book (capitalized and
italic); edition (if any); publisher; place of publication; and page(s). Personal

Tohoku University Medical Press is a non-profit publisher with support in part
from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. It is our responsibility as a
publisher that the TJEM is continuously published. However, we are constantly
facing increasing production costs of the TJEM. The Processing Fees cover a
portion of the costs related to handling of a manuscript, including technological
investments, which are important to keep the TJEM on the forefront of the
electronic development. Accordingly, your article published in the TJEM is
available through PubMed without barrier to access.
