Manuscript Submission
The Journal of Genetic Counseling utilizes a fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. To keep the review time as short as possible, we
request authors to submit manuscripts online to the journal's editorial office. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers authors the option to track the progress of the review process of manuscripts in real time. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://jogc.edmgr.com
The online manuscript submission and review system for the Journal of Genetic Counseling offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts — Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures — TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. PDF is not an acceptable file format.
NOTE: If you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript online, please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Bonnie LeRoy via e-mail at: leroy001@umn.edu.
General
Manuscripts should be checked for content and style (American English spelling, punctuation, and grammar; accuracy and consistency in the citation of figures, tables, and references; stylistic uniformity of entries in the References section; etc.) Page proofs (of accepted manuscripts) are sent directly to the designated author by e-mail attachment for proofreading and checking. Typographical errors are corrected; author alterations are generally not allowed. Authors should detail in the comments section of the submission that the manuscript is submitted solely to this journal and was not published elsewhere, and disclose details of any previous or anticipated publication history related to the manuscript's content. Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
1. Authors will receive an electronic notification to transfer copyright of the article to the National Society of Genetic Counselors, Inc. This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, they agree to the Springer Open Choice License.
2. Type double-spaced and provide all illustrations and tables with the submission.
3. A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, authors name (no degrees), authors affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a numbered footnote to the author’s name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. The title page should also include the complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the one author designated to review proofs.
4. An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 150 words.
5. A list of 3-10 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
6. All sections should carry section headings (such as INTRODUCTION, METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, CONCLUSTIONS, etc.) type centered. All acknowledgements (including those for grant and financial support) should be typed in one paragraph (so-headed) on a separate page that directly precedes the References section.
7. Articles that involve patient, family, and genetic history should strive to maintain anonymity regarding private health information. Thus family history should be masked and pseudonyms used as appropriate. If any information in a case report is not anonymous (i.e. the author is discussing their family), then explicit written information for release of medical information must be obtained from all living individuals whose information is mentioned. Documentation of permission to release medical information should be provided to the Editorial office at the time of manuscript submission.
8. Authors who have a relationship, financial or otherwise, with the organization that sponsored the research should disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest in a separate section “Disclosure of Interest,” to precede the reference list. They should also state that they have full control of all primary data and that they agree to allow the journal to review their data if requested.
9. The journal follows the reference style recommendations of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA style). Contributors should refer to this publication to properly format their references. See also: http://apastyle.apa.org/
10. Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be provided. Photographs and drawings should show high contrast. Electronic should be in TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half-tones and gray-scale art). Color art should be in the CMYK color space. A hard copy of photographs or illustrations may be requested prior to publication.
11. Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be on a separate sheet of paper at the end of the submission. Center the title above the table, and type explanatory footnotes (indicated by superscript lowercase letters) below the table.
12. List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. Where there are seven or more authors, abbreviate the seventh and subsequent authors as et al. References should include (in this order): last name and initials of authors, year published, title of article, name of publication, volume number, and inclusive pages. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to APA style.
13. Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so it is set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text.
14. After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, a final manuscript should be submitted through the online submission system. The electronic file submitted must be the finalized version of the manuscript. The author may track the status of a submission via the online submission system at any time.
15. Manuscripts containing the results of experimental studies on human participants must disclose in the Methods section whether informed consent was obtained from patients in the study after the nature of the procedure had been fully explained to them. If informed consent was waived by the institutional review board (IRB) for a study, that should be so stated. In addition, a statement affirming approval of the IRB should be included, if approved. The patient's right to privacy should not be infringed. Information that would identify patients should not be published.
Authors are advised to comply with the guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals as described by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and to acknowledge their compliance with these guidelines in the Methods section of the manuscript.
Page Charges
The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
Springer Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription−based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springers online platform SpringerLink. To publish via Springer Open Choice, upon acceptance please visit the link below to complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will publish as regular subscription−model articles. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
