About the journal
The Journal of Biological Rhythms (JBR) publishes original, full-length reports of investigations into all aspects of biological rhythmicity. Reports focus on rhythms related to the major environmental cycles, including daily (circadian) rhythms, tidal rhythms, annual rhythms (including photoperiodism), as well as other biological rhythms that interact with those rhythms influenced by the environment. JBR explores such subjects as:
Behavioral and Performance Rhythms
Cell Cycles
Development and Aging
Function and Regulation of Melatonin
Hormonal and Metabolic Rhythms
Hibernation and Migration
Jet Lag and Shift Work
Molecular and Cellular Clock Mechanisms
Photoreception and Rhythms
Reproductive Cycles
Rhythms and Depression
Sleep-Wake Cycles
Studies using genetic, biochemical, physiological, behavioral, and modeling approaches to understand the nature, mechanisms, and functions of biological rhythms in all species are welcome. A major objective of JBR is to serve as a vehicle for transmitting information about biological rhythms in plants and animals, as well as those studying human rhythms in both the clinical and "real world" setting.
Instructions to Authors
Four legible, double-spaced copies of each paper (including illustrations) should be submitted to the Editor. There are no publication charges except for circumstances requiring special printing, color reproduction, or unusual length and number of illustrations; in these cases, the publisher will provide cost information before the paper is accepted.
Manuscripts should be written clearly and concisely and should conform generally to the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual. Manuscripts should consist of the following:
1. A title page, including the authors' names, the title and a short running title, and the institution(s) (with all words spelled out in full) from which the paper emanates. If current addresses are different, then these should be indicated in a footnote. Also include the name, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the person to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent. Indicate the number of pages, illustrations, and tables.
2. A succinct Abstract, not exceeding 350 words, in a form acceptable to most abstracting services, followed by six to eight key words.
3. An Introduction that provides a brief review of relevant background material and indicates the purpose of the study.
4. A Materials and Methods section that provides sufficient information for qualified investigators to reproduce the work in similar fashion. Reference to published procedures by appropriate succinct summary and citation is encouraged but should not replace adequate methodological description. The Journal of Biological Rhythms endorses the Declaration of Helsinki and the U.S. National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. It will be assumed that authors have conscientiously followed principles and practices in accord with these documents in experiments involving human subjects and experimental animals.
5. A Results section that provides a concise description of the findings with appropriate reference to illustrations and tables.
6. A Discussion section that includes a summary of the main findings, their relation to other published work, and a statement of their significance.
7. References should be listed sequentially in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author with (a) a full list of authors, (b) date, (c) full title of the paper, (d) journal titles abbreviated as per Index Medicus, (e) volume number, and (f) first and last pages. Only papers published or in press may be included in the reference list. Papers should be cited in the text by author(s) and date.

Richter CP (1965) Biological Clocks in Medicine and Psychiatry, Charles C Thomas, Springfield, IL.
8. Tables and illustrations should be submitted in a form suitable for direct reproduction when possible. In preparation of figures (glossy prints, crisp laser prints, or hand-drawn graphs), authors should consider page format and letter size after final reproduction. Transfer (rub-on) type should be avoided. An acetate overlay containing type on a clear background is recommended for lettering and calibration bars applied to halftone illustrations. Each illustration should be marked on the reverse side with its number, name(s) of author(s), orientation, and instructions for reduction when appropriate. Copies of the original set can be used for review purposes but should be of suitable quality to enable the referees to evaluate them. Place each table on a separate sheet, following the figure legends. Number consecutively with Arabic numerals.
9. A list of figure captions should follow the references. A brief title and description of each illustration should be included. These should be typed consecutively on the same page(s).
10. Abbreviations should be introduced in parentheses after the first occurrence of the term being abbreviated. Use standard metric units wherever possible.
Submission of a manuscript implies assurance that no similar paper has been submitted for publication elsewhere. Concurrence of all listed authors is assumed for all papers to be published. Manuscripts are evaluated on their merit by the editors with the assistance of selected referees. Copyright is vested in the publisher.
