Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission and Processing
All manuscripts should be submitted to the journal using the Adis Editorial Manager manuscript-tracking system. Step-by-step instructions are available on the website. Information on the content, formatting and layout of manuscripts for submission is available on our site or on request from the editor.
If you are unable to submit through the Editorial manager site, please e-mail us at journals@adis.co.nz and include the journal name and "Article Submission" in the subject line.
Internal Review by Editorial Staff
The Journal Editor and/or therapeutic area editor will perform an initial appraisal of each manuscript. Manuscripts are judged on the interest and importance of the topic, use of scientific method, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the Journal's readers. Articles meeting the appropriate criteria and accompanied by the appropriate documentation are then passed to external peer review.
You will be notified as to whether your paper is progressing to external review, within 1 to 2 weeks of our acknowledgement of receipt.
External Peer Review
The aim of the peer review process is to ensure publication of unbiased, scientifically accurate and clinically relevant articles. All articles are peer reviewed by members of the Journal's international Editorial Board and/or other specialists of equal repute before a decision on publication is made. Peer reviewer identities are kept confidential, but author identities are known to the reviewers. Peer reviewers are asked to disclose potential conflicts of interests that may affect their ability to provide an unbiased review of an article.
Peer reviewers fill out a referee report form via Editorial Manager to provide general comments to the editor and both general and specific comments to the author(s). Constructive comments that will help the authors improve their work are passed on anonymously (even if we do not accept the paper).
Rejected Manuscripts
Rejected manuscripts will not be returned to authors unless specifically requested. Print copies of original illustrations, photographs and slides will be returned.
Manuscript Revision
The majority of manuscripts will require some degree of revision following peer review before they can be accepted for publication. Revision is an invitation to present the best possible paper for further scrutiny by the Journal; it is not acceptance. Authors should provide two copies of the revised manuscript - one of which should be highlighted to show where changes have been made. Detailed responses to reviewers' comments, in a covering letter, are also required. Revised manuscripts may be peer reviewed a second time if appropriate. The final decision on acceptability for publication lies with the Journal Editor.
Editing
All accepted manuscripts are edited by experienced and technically qualified Wolters Kluwer Health | Adis editors. This process includes: (i) assessment of scientific accuracy, balance and completeness; (ii) choice of optimum structure; and (iii) general publishing considerations, such as length, housestyle and clarity of expression. Authors will receive proofs following editing for their approval and sign off.
Offprints
Corresponding authors of review articles, commentaries and original research papers are sent a PDF of the finalised version of their paper for their personal use. In addition, authors can order 100 offprints, but such orders must be placed prior to the publication of the article.
Copyright
Authors will be asked to sign a transfer of copyright agreement, which recognises the common interest that both the Journal and author(s) have in the protection of copyright. We accept that some authors (e.g. government employees in some countries) are unable to transfer copyright.
Corrections/Errata
Through careful quality control, our intention is to avoid mistakes, but errors, made by either editors or authors, do get made. We correct even minor mistakes, and we set no time limit for notifying errors or publishing corrections. We always try to contact the author of the original article to confirm the error, unless it is very obvious, and we publish all errata as soon as we can.
Letters to the Editor
We welcome correspondence relating to articles we have published in the journal. Letters to the editor are not usually peer reviewed, but a response to comments would normally be sought from the authors of the original article. Where possible any response would be published alongside the letter to the editor. Letters to the editor of general interest, unlinked to earlier items in the journal, will also be considered for publication.
Appeals
Sometimes mistakes are made when considering manuscripts for publication. If an author believes that an editor has made an error in declining a paper, we welcome an appeal. In your appeal letter please state why you think the decision is mistaken and set out your specific responses to any peer reviewers' comments if those seem to have been the main cause of rejection. Advice from members of the journal?s Editorial Board will be sought and at least two editors will then decide whether to invite a revised manuscript and whether re-review, or otherwise, is warranted.
Misconduct
The journal?s editor is often the first person to be made aware of possible misconduct. If we do suspect misconduct by authors or reviewers, we have a duty to take action. This duty extends to both published and unpublished papers. We will first seek a response from those under suspicion. If we are not satisfied with the response, we will ask the employers of the authors or reviewers, or some other appropriate body, to investigate. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that a proper investigation is conducted; if this is not possible, or does not happen for any reason, we will make all reasonable attempts to persist in obtaining a resolution to the issue and a correction of the record if it is needed.
Authors' Professional and Ethical Responsibilities
Authorship and Contributorship Criteria
See the journal "Instructions for authors".
Conflict of Interest Statement for Authors
The potential for conflict of interest arises when authors have personal or financial relationships that could influence their actions. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist and these conflicts should be summarized in the Acknowledgements section of the paper.
Role of the Funding Source
All sources of funding should be declared in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript.
Protection of Patients' Rights to Privacy
Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information should not be included in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or legal guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that the patient be shown the manuscript to be published. When informed consent has been obtained it should be indicated in the manuscript.
Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential, but patient data should never be altered or falsified in an attempt to attain anonymity. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eyes in the photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity.
Use of Personal Communications and Unpublished Data
Authors must include a signed statement of permission from each individual identified as a source of information in a personal communication or as a source for unpublished data (this includes papers that have been submitted, but not yet accepted for publication), and specify the date of communication and whether the communication was written or oral.
Permissions Required to Reproduce or Adapt Material
Authors must acknowledge all text, illustrations, and tables adapted or reproduced from other publications. Authors should provide a copy of the original source documents and should submit permission from the authors of the original work and the original publishers for unlimited use in all markets and media (that includes both electronic and print use in any language). If permission for all markets, all media and all languages cannot be obtained, the figure/table will not be used.
Duplicate Publication and Duplicate Submission
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously and are not under consideration by another publication. Copies of possibly duplicative materials (i.e. those containing substantially similar content or using the same or similar data) that have been previously published or are being considered elsewhere must be provided at the time of manuscript submission.
The Journal will, however, consider republication of a paper previously published in a language other than English, or simultaneous publication of a paper in multiple journals with different audiences, if the specific circumstances warrant this action. This will be done with full and prominent disclosure of the original source and with any necessary permission.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the use of others' published and unpublished ideas or words (or other intellectual property) without attribution or permission, and presenting them as new and original rather than derived from an existing source. The intent and effect of plagiarism is to mislead the reader as to the contributions of the plagiariser. This applies whether the ideas or words are taken from abstracts, research grant applications, Institutional Review Board applications, or unpublished or published manuscripts in any publication format (print or electronic). Plagiarism is scientific misconduct and will be addressed as such
