It all started in 1913 when the ADA ¨C known then as the National Dental Association ¨C introduced a quarterly Official Bulletin, which soon proved inadequate. Just two years later, The Journal of the National Dental Association, still a quarterly, was born. In 1917, the Journal expanded to a monthly publication, with a lengthy subscription list that soon placed it at the forefront of dental literature. The Journal's ascendancy spurred a number of other, long-respected dental periodicals to cease publishing. The once venerable Dental Register stopped the presses for good in 1923. And even the Dental Cosmos, long the bellwether of dental journalism, disappeared in 1938. One year later, the Journal adopted its current title, The Journal of the American Dental Association, or JADA. Just after World War II, JADA became a semi-monthly publication. The goal was to reduce the bulk of each issue and to boost readership and advertising revenues. But that experiment failed, and The Journal returned to a monthly publication in 1948. Over the decades, JADA has changed with the times and the shifting needs of its readers. Most recently, in 1991, The Journal underwent a major facelift and reorganization aimed at improving its appeal to its primary audience: dentists in clinical practice. Today's JADA offers a wide range of information for ADA-member dentists: peer-reviewed research on current and developing topics in dentistry; clinical information in such areas as biomaterials, pharmacology, and cosmetic and esthetic dentistry as well as general dental practice; reports on the increasingly important relationship between dental health and overall health; news and views on the issues of the day; explorations of practice building and legal topics; a continuing education program; a monthly feature on the Internet and the World Wide Web, with special emphasis on the Association's own Web site, ADA.org. Judging from the feedback received, the Journal is meeting the needs of its readers. Yearly independent readership studies consistently rank JADA as the nation's best-read dental journal. And ADA members rank it among the most important benefits of Association membership. Instructions to Authors Manuscript Submission New manuscripts. All new manuscripts must be submitted via JADA’s online submission and review Web site, JADA Manuscript Central (Authors who do not yet have an account on the Web site should click the “Create Account” link on the upper right-hand corner of the JADA Manuscript Central welcome page and follow the step-by-step process to open an account.). On the dashboard page, authors should select the Corresponding Author Center. In the Corresponding Author Center, they should click the “Click here to submit a new manuscript” link. Author identification. The author should include a letter providing each author’s name, degrees, professional title, work affiliations, complete address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. That cover letter can be typed in on the JADA Manuscript Central site in the field provided, or it can be uploaded to the site as a word-processed document. Originality and exclusivity. The JADA Editor will consider only articles that are original, have not been published elsewhere and have been submitted exclusively to JADA. Registration of clinical trials. JADA recommends, but does not require, that clinical trials be registered with a national database such as www.clinicaltrials.gov. When a clinical trial has been registered prior to publication in JADA, it will be noted in The Journal. Submission of revised articles. After the manuscript has gone through review, the JADA Editor makes a decision as to its disposition: accept; minor revision; major revision; reject. In all but the first and last cases, the author will be invited to submit a revised manuscript via JADA Manuscript Central. Manuscript Designation When published, manuscripts will be placed in one of the JADA departments listed below. Authors should indicate the department for which they are submitting a manuscript, with the understanding that the editor might deem the manuscript better suited to a different department. Unless otherwise noted, manuscripts must be no longer than 10 double-spaced pages (roughly 3,000 words), exclusive of title page, abstract, acknowledgments, references and illustrations (tables, figures, text boxes). Peer-Reviewed Articles Clinical Practice. Articles with a clinical and practical focus. Potential topic areas include esthetic and restorative care, oral-systemic health, pharmacology, specialty dental practice, and informatics and technology. Brief Reports. Short articles focusing on specific topics that do not lend themselves to longer, more in-depth treatments (6 double-spaced pages). The articles formerly included in the “Clinical Directions” department are included in the Brief Reports category. Pilot studies also would be appropriate for this section. Case Reports. Short articles describing the presentation, diagnosis and management of clinical cases (6 double-spaced pages). Critical Review. Review articles using a systematic approach to describe what is known from the literature about a clinical dental topic and evaluating the strength of the evidence (10 double-spaced pages). Full Article. Full-length articles with a clinical and practical focus. Practical Science. Articles providing scientific information on critical issues of practical interest to general dentists, helping to bridge the gap between dental research and patient care (10 double-spaced pages). Practice Management. Practical information about the day-to-day aspects of running a dental practice, as well as about broader management concepts and techniques. Articles on informatics and technology could appear here if the technology being discussed has a management rather than a clinical focus (10 double-spaced pages). Research. Articles describing the results of clinical, laboratory and population-based research pertinent to dentistry and providing foundation knowledge for future application. Full Article. Full-length articles describing potential clinical applications of research findings (10 double-spaced pages). Brief Reports. Short articles focusing on specific topics that do not lend themselves to longer, more in-depth treatments (6 double-spaced pages). Advances in Dental Products. Articles describing research on new products useful to the clinician. Research sponsored or substantially funded by manufacturers appears here (10 double-spaced pages). Trends Full Article. Articles describing trends in dentistry and health care, such as access to care; patient and practitioner demographics; economic, ethical and societal issues; state and federal law, policy and regulations that affect dentistry; and surveys of dentists on topics of interest (10 double-spaced pages). Brief Reports. Short articles focusing tightly on specific topics that do not lend themselves to longer, more in-depth treatments (6 double-spaced pages). Non-Peer–Reviewed Material Letters to the Editor. Brief comments on issues raised and articles published in JADA. A letter about a particular article will be forwarded to the article’s author for comment, if the letter is selected for publication. The JADA Editor reserves the right to edit the letters into a publishable format (550 words, maximum of five references, no illustrations). A letter concerning a recent JADA article will have the best chance of acceptance if it is received within two months of the article’s publication. By sending a letter to the editor, the author acknowledges and agrees that the letter and all rights of the author in the letter become the property of The Journal. Letters may be submitted via e-mail to jadaletters@ada.org; by fax to 1-312-440-3538; or by mail to 211 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60611-2678. Manuscript Format Technical specifications. Manuscripts submitted to JADA must be prepared in Microsoft Word. No manuscripts prepared in WordPerfect or other word processing software can be reviewed. Manuscripts prepared in Word 2007 must be saved down to Word 2003 format. Also, no illustrations or other material prepared in PowerPoint will be accepted for review. If your material was prepared in PowerPoint, please copy it into a Microsoft Word document or submit it as a PDF, a JPEG, a TIFF or an EPS file. Length. Unless otherwise noted above, manuscripts must be no longer than 10 double-spaced pages (roughly 3,000 words), exclusive of title page, abstract, acknowledgments, references and illustrations. Page setup. Pages should have 1-inch margins and must be numbered consecutively throughout the document. Title page. Each manuscript should have a title page bearing the complete title of the manuscript and complete information on all authors. It should be the first page of the manuscript. Each author’s degrees must be listed on the title page. JADA generally does not publish U.S. fellowships and honorary degrees and designations. Degrees below the master’s level generally are not listed, unless they are the highest degree attained. The title page should designate the corresponding author and list that author’s complete mailing address for the purposes of directing reprint requests after publication. Abstract. A separate section describes how to format structured abstracts. Authors. The people listed as authors should be those who made an intellectual contribution to the manuscript. All authors should be listed with their affiliations, their academic degrees and their scientific or clinical contributions to the paper. The editor and publisher reserve the right to ask for justification for each author’s inclusion. Acknowledgments. Acknowledgments should be submitted on a separate page. Illustrations. A maximum of four figures—charts, graphs or photographs—and four tables may be submitted. (See next paragraph for an exception to this rule.) Each separate chart, graph or photograph will be counted as a separate illustration; illustrations should not be grouped together as a single illustration. Tables and figures should augment, not repeat, the text. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are cited in the text. Regarding clinical figures, JADA will accept only digital files of at least 4 inches (roughly 100 millimeters) in width and at least 300 or more dots per inch and in JPEG, TIFF or EPS format. These may be uploaded on JADA Manuscript Central. JADA cannot accept original histologic slides and radiographs. However, The Journal will accept digital files of radiographs, magnetic resonance images and magnetic resonance angiograms. The publisher reserves the right to reject any figure that does not meet the necessary quality standards for publication. (Exception. For only articles on esthetic care, authors are invited to provide sufficient numbers of high-quality photographs to present their material comprehensively, provided that there is an appropriate ratio of text to photographs: the length of the manuscript must be sufficient to support placement of photographs within the text. As a rule of thumb, assume an outside limit of three photographs per manuscript page.) Any patient who is clearly identified in the article (either in text or in photographs) must sign a form indicating his or her consent to be thus depicted in the article. This consent form (PDF) must be submitted with the manuscript. Manuscript Style Basic style/writing requirements. The foundation of JADA style is the most recent edition of the American Medical Association Manual of Style. The purpose of any piece of writing is to deliver information. This requires the author to define his or her message and to present it in a way that is readily understood by and engaging to the reader. Manuscripts should be written in active voice and declarative sentences for a clear, concise style. The overall tone of these reports should be factual and professional, and thus suitable for a scholarly journal. Authors are allowed to express a personal opinion as long as the basis for that opinion is stated plainly. For example, an author may express an opinion “based on long experience and intensive observation.” Other statements of opinion and all statements of fact require references from the appropriate published literature (dental, medical, epidemiologic, practice management, etc.). Authors are invited to write headlines for their articles. Headlines should be as brief as possible while clearly conveying the main point or purpose of the article. Short subheads also should be used throughout the article to highlight key points. All submissions, including headlines and subheads, are subject to change during the editing process. References. All published references should be cited in the text and numbered consecutively. No references should be cited in the abstract. Each reference should be cited only once; on subsequent citations, the original number should be used. Personal communications and unpublished data should not be numbered, but should be cited in the text as follows: (G Edmunds, DDS, oral communication, November 2004) Authors citing sources from the World Wide Web should make use of WebCite. WebCite is an entirely free service for authors who want to refer to Web material, regardless of the publication for which they are writing. It is an archiving system for Web references (cited Web pages and Web sites) that can be used by authors, editors and publishers of scholarly papers and books to ensure that cited Web material will remain available to readers in the future. If Web references cited in JADA articles are not archived, future readers may encounter a "File Not Found" error when clicking on a cited URL. A Web citation archived on www.webcitation.org will not disappear in the future. Citations in the reference list should follow this basic style: Periodical 1.

Caries levels among low-income children: report of a three-year study. Paper presented at: 146th Annual Session of the American Dental Association; Oct. 7, 2005; Philadelphia. Review Peer review. Articles in JADA are subject to a single-blinded peer review process: reviewers know the identity of a manuscript’s author(s), but authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. (Authors do have an opportunity to suggest reviewers on JADA Manuscript Central; they also have an opportunity to request the exclusion of particular reviewers from critiquing their manuscript.) Reviewers keep their critiques strictly confidential. Because the reviewers volunteer their time, reviews may take from three to four weeks to complete. Decision. Once the reviewers have completed their critiques, the editor examines their comments and makes a decision about the manuscript’s disposition: accept, minor revisions, major revisions, or reject. Editing. JADA reserves the right to edit manuscripts to ensure conciseness, clarity and stylistic consistency and to fit articles to available space. After accepted articles are edited, they are returned to the authors for review and comment before publication. Authors will have the opportunity to review a PDF proof of their articles after they are typeset. Editorial Board Editor Marjorie K.
