About the journal
Published since 1929, this monthly journal is a leading international research publication that reports current research in all aspects of physiology, nutrition, pharmacology and toxicology, contributed by recognized experts and scientists with special areas of expertise. It publishes symposium reviews and award lectures, and on occasion dedicates entire issues to subjects of special interest.
Instructions to Authors
The Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology (Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol.) is an international journal and publishes, in English or French, peer-reviewed reports of original research on all aspects of physiology, pharmacology, nutrition, and toxicology, including the fields of cardiovascular science; drug disposition and biochemical toxicology; endocrinology; gastroenterology; musculoskeletal sciences, including cellular motility; neuroscience (i.e., autonomic, cellular, central); renal and respiratory sciences; thermal physiology; and nutritional sciences, including the interaction of nutrition with the above.
Types of papers
An article reports a completed definitive study of original research that has not been previously published.
A brief report describes well-documented results of smaller scope but may not be used for preliminary publication or as a progress report. Brief reports may contain no more than 2000 words and 20 references, and up to four figures and (or) tables.
A rapid communication is intended for the rapid publication of initial findings or full investigations of findings of a particularly novel and significant nature. It should be accompanied by a letter in which the author gives reasons to justify publication of the manuscript as a rapid communication. A rapid communication will be either accepted without revision or rejected. However, this rejection will not preclude the subsequent submission of the manuscript in revised or expanded form.
Three kinds of reviews will be considered by the Journal: critical reviews, survey reviews, and current concepts. Critical reviews should not be a compendium, should cover a subject that has not been recently reviewed and in which there are noteworthy new developments, and should not be autobiographical (a maximum of 100 references). Survey reviews should be a comprehensive update of work in a field that has not been reviewed recently (a maximum of 300 references). Current concepts submissions should be short reviews providing an outlook, insight, or new approach or direction to an area of research.
Comments on scientific issues arising from papers published in the Journal may be submitted as Commentaries, which will be subject to editorial review before publication. Authors of the original paper that is the subject of the commentary will be invited to respond to the comments. Comments, if published, may be accompanied by the response.
Ethics
Authors must give assurance that no part of their manuscript reporting original work is being considered for publication, in whole or in part, by another journal. The corresponding author must confirm that all authors have read and approved of the manuscript.
All authors, Canadian or international, who describe experiments on animals are required to give assurance in the manuscript that the animals were cared for in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care (see Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animals, Vol. 1 (2nd ed., 1993) and Vol. 2 (1984); this guide is available from the Canadian Council on Animal Care, Constitution Square, Tower 2, Suite 315, 350 Albert Street, Ottawa, ON K1R 1B1, Canada or on their Web site at http://www.ccac.ca).
Authors who describe experiments on humans are required to provide assurance in the manuscript that appropriate standards for human experimentation have been followed, that the experiment has been reviewed and approved by their institution’s ethics review committee, and that the subjects have given informed consent prior to participating in the study.
Conflict of Interest
The Editor recognizes that authors and peer reviewers may have real or perceived conflicts of interest arising from intellectual, personal, or financial circumstances of their research. Submitted manuscripts should include full disclosure of funding sources for the research and the letter of transmission should include an explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest that may arise during the peer review process. Failure to disclose such conflicts may lead to refusal of a submitted manuscript.
The Manuscript
Publication is facilitated if the authors very carefully check the symbols, abbreviations, and technical terms for accuracy, consistency, and readability and ensure that manuscripts and illustrations meet the requirements outlined below. NRC Research Press maintains the right to preserve the technical quality of the Journal. Authors are requested to refer to a recent issue for details of layout, especially for tables and reference lists.
All parts of the manuscript must be typewritten double-spaced, on 8.5 x 11 in. paper with margins of 1 in. Use italic font for material that is to be set in italics. Use capital letters only when the letters or words should appear in capitals in the printed paper. The first page should contain only the title, authors?names, authors?affiliations, and any relevant footnotes. The authors?addresses must be the institution(s) where the work was done. Authors?present addresses, if different, should be a footnote. The name, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed should be clearly indicated. Each page of the manuscript should be numbered, beginning with the title page, followed by the abstract on a separate page. Tables and captions for illustrations should be on separate pages and placed after the list of references, which follows the text. The original typescript and three clear copies of the manuscript are required. Double-sided copies are not acceptable. Computer disks are required with final revised manuscripts only (see The Publication Process. Submission of electronic copy).
Spelling should follow that of Webster’s Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
Abbreviations and symbols for units of measurement should conform to international recommendations. SI units (Système international d’unités) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Metric Practice Guide (2000) published by CSA International (178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed. Biochemical nomenclature and abbreviations should follow the recommendations of the International Union of Biochemistry, such as those on enzyme nomenclature (Enzyme Nomenclature 1992: Recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Academic Press, San Diego, Calif.). A complete listing of the more recent IUPAC IUB bulletins can be found in the European Journal of Biochemistry 151: A5-A11 (1985). For physiological and biological terms, The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers: Scientific Style and Format (6th ed., 1994) published by the Council of Biology Editors, Inc., Chicago, IL 60603, U.S.A., should be followed. Abbreviations and contractions of the names of substances, procedures, etc., must be defined the first time they occur. Authors who use abbreviations extensively throughout the text are asked to list all abbreviations with full definitions as a footnote on the first page of the Introduction. Symbols and Greek letters should be written clearly and superscripts and subscripts should be appropriately placed or indicated.
Trade names of drugs may be mentioned in parentheses in the first text reference to a drug, but generic names should be used in the text, tables, and figures. When a trade name is used, it should be capitalized; generic or chemical names are not capitalized. The chemical nature of new drugs must be given when it is known. The form of drug used in calculations of doses (e.g., base or salt) should be indicated. When several drugs are used, it may save space to include a separate paragraph in Methods or a separate table listing relevant information about all drugs employed.
An abstract is required with every contribution. It should not exceed 200 words for a full paper, brief report, or review, and should be much shorter for a rapid communication. Many abstracting services use authors?abstracts, so they should be prepared carefully. Authors who can submit abstracts in both fluent English and fluent French are encouraged to do so. Where possible, abbreviations should be avoided in the abstract. All authors?names and initials and the complete title of the paper are to be typewritten at the top of the abstract page (a copy of this page is sent separately to the translator). Authors should provide three to five key words, which should be placed directly below the abstract.
Each reference in the text must be designated by the surnames of the authors and the year, for example (Green 1999) or Green and Brown (1999). Depending on the sentence construction, the names may or may not be in parentheses, but the year always is. If there are three or more authors, the citation should give the name of the first author, followed by et al. (e.g., Green et al. 2001). When there is more than one reference in a given year with the same first author, the references are distinguished chronologically by a, b, c, etc., after the year and they are listed in this order in the reference list. In the reference list citations must appear in alphabetical order according to the surnames of the first authors. When the first author is the same, the second authors?names are also arranged alphabetically. However, citations with three or more authors involving the same first author should appear after the dual-authored papers and be arranged chronologically. The citation should then give, in the following order: year, title of the paper, name of the periodical abbreviated according to CASSI (Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, Chemical Abstracts, P.O. Box 3012, Columbus, OH 43210, U.S.A.) or BIOSIS Serial Sources (BIOSIS, 2100 Arch St., Philadelphia, PA 19103-1399, U.S.A.), volume number, and inclusive page numbers. Material in press, with the name of the journal, may be used as a reference. References to conference proceedings should be given in full and should include the complete title, editor’s name, location and date of conference, and name and location of publisher. Reports not yet accepted for publication and private communications are not references and must be put in footnotes or in parentheses in the text giving all authors?names and initials. References should follow the form used in current issues of the Journal, as in the following examples.

The author is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all references. The author should check all parts of each reference listing against the original document.
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. Where used in the text, footnotes should be cited in the manuscript by superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page upon which the reference is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase l and the numeral one, and between capital O and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of symbols to appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors, matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified. Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and placed flush with the left margin. In numbering, no distinction is made between mathematical and chemical equations.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, have a brief title, and be referred to in the text. Column headings and descriptive matter in tables should be brief. Vertical rules should not be used. A copy of the Journal should be consulted to see how tables are set up and where the lines in them are placed. Footnotes in tables should be designated by symbols (*, ? ? ? ||, ? #) or superscript lowercase italic letters. Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed under a table as a Note. Each part of the table (title, headings, stub, body, and footnotes) must be typed double-spaced.
Appendices ?Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, for example, Fig. A1, Table A1, etc.
Supplemental material ?The National Research Council of Canada maintains a depository in which supplementary material may be placed, either at the request of the author or suggestion of the Editor. Such material may include extensive tables of data, detailed calculations, and maps not essential for understanding and evaluating the paper. Such material must be clearly marked when the manuscript is submitted. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. D1, Table D1). The supplemental material should be referred to by footnotes. Copies of material in the depository may be purchased from the Depository of Unpublished Data, CISTI, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Illustrations
Provide photographic reproductions, laser printouts, or the original artwork (no larger than 11 x 17 in.) of each illustration. Provide the original set of illustrations and three sets of copies for review purposes.
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit, after appropriate reduction, into the area of either one or two columns of text. The maximum finished size of a one-column illustration is 8.8 x 23.9 cm (3.5 x 9.4 in.) and that of a two-column illustration is 18.2 x 23.9 cm (7.2 x 9.4 in.). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and must be self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption. Each illustration must be identified by the figure number and the authors?names on the back of the page or in the left-hand corner, well away from the illustration area.
Line drawings should be made with black ink or computer-generated in black on high-quality white paper or other comparable material. For computer-generated graphics, supply a laser print at the highest resolution available. Photocopies are not acceptable.
All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. Lettering produced by dot matrix printers or typewriters, or by hand, is not acceptable. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures of similar size in any one paper.
Maps must have very clear, bold patterns and must show longitudes and latitudes (or UTM coordinates) and a scale. All place names and geographic features on Quebec maps must be in French only, with proper accents and capitalization.
Photographs should be continuous tone on glossy paper. Prints must be of high quality, on glossy paper, with strong contrast. The copies for reproduction should only show essential features, be trimmed, and mounted on thin flexible white bristol board with no space between those arranged in groups. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate.
Color illustrations will be at the author’s expense. Further details on prices are available from the Managing Editor of the Journal.
NRC Research Press prefers the submission of electronic illustration files for accepted manuscripts and will use these electronic files whenever possible. If electronic files are not available, paper versions of the figures will be scanned. Note that the scanner will easily reproduce flaws (e.g., correction fluid, smudges). Submission of noncontinuous (screened) photographs and scanned illustrations printed out on laser printers is not recommended as moirés develop; a moir?is a noticeable, unwanted pattern generated by rescanning or rescreening an illustration that already contains a dot pattern.
Preparation of electronic illustration files
Authors must supply electronic graphic files. Electronic files (i.e., figure number and figure content) should match the originals. On the disk label, identify (i) the software application and version; and (ii) file name(s), size, and extension. If you have compressed your files, indicate what compression format was used. PC or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts. Electronic graphics can be accepted on the following disks: 3 ?in. disks, 100 MB Zip cartridge, and CD-ROM.
The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see electronic graphics list at http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/cgi-bin/rp/rp2_prog_e?cjpp_graphics_e.html
All figures should be submitted at their final published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files ?Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour, or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution of an image, the larger the number of pixels contained within the rectangular grid.
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art and finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files ?Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps inside vector files ?Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.
The Publication Process
Submission ?Authors should submit the original and three copies of their papers to the Editorial Office directly:
CJPP Editorial Office
NRC Research Press
National Research Council of Canada
Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6
or electronically as an e-mail attachment using Microsoft Word to the Editorial Office at cjpp@nrc.gc.ca.
Authors are invited to submit the names and addresses of several possible reviewers. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two referees and the editorial decision is based on their evaluations. Once a paper has been accepted, all correspondence should be with NRC Research Press, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada. The papers are prepared for publication by a professional copy editor responsible for ensuring that the final printed work is consistent in form and style. The Journal does not have page charges.
Submission of electronic copy ?Authors are requested to submit the final accepted manuscript only, both in hard copy format and on disk. Text files and figure files should be submitted on separate disks. All disks must be labeled clearly with the authors?names. Text (including tables) should be provided in a word-processing format (any form of Word-Perfect, Microsoft Word, or TeX is preferable, IBM compatible or Macintosh). TeX macros for preparing papers for submissions are available at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, and ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc. Identify the word-processing software, version number, and type of computer used (IBM or Macintosh). For figures, see the section “Preparation of electronic illustration files.?Include a statement in the letter accompanying the manuscript that the version on the disk exactly matches the final hard copy version.
Permission to reprint ?Whenever a manuscript contains material (tables, figures, charts, etc.) that is protected by copyright, it is the obligation of the author to secure written permission from the holder of the copyright to reproduce the material in both print and electronic versions. These letters are to be included with the submitted manuscript.
Galley proofs ?A galley proof, illustration proofs, the copy-edited manuscript, and a reprint order form are sent to the author. Galley proofs must be checked very carefully, as they will not be proofread by NRC Research Press, and must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. The proof stage is not the time to make extensive corrections, additions, or deletions. The cost of changes introduced by the author and deemed to be excessive will be charged to the author.
To facilitate rapid publication, galleys of rapid communications will not be sent to the authors but will be proofread by NRC Research Press.
Reprints ?To order reprints, the completed order form must be returned with payment (cheque, credit card number, purchase order number, or journal voucher) together with the corrected proofs and manuscript, or in the case of a rapid communication, as soon as possible. Orders submitted after the Journal has been printed are subject to considerably higher prices. The Journal does not provide free reprints, and reprints are not mailed until a purchase order number or payment is received.
Copyright transfer ?All authors are required to complete a copyright transfer form assigning all rights to NRC. Copyright transfer forms are available from the Editorial Office, in the January issue of the Journal, or on the web site of NRC Research Press. Requests for permission to republish the paper, in whole or in part, should be sent to NRC Research Press.
