Instructions to Authors
Submission Policy
Manuscripts will be considered for publication in the form of original articles, reviews and letters. Letters to the Editor are possible and encouraged by Dr. Camilleri and Dr. Schemann. 'Hot Topics' are also possible and encouraged by the Editors. Submission of a paper implies that it reports unpublished work, except in abstract forms, and is not being submitted simultaneously to another publication. Accepted manuscripts become the copyright of Neurogastroenterology and Motility and may not be published elsewhere without written consent from the publisher. On acceptance, a Copyright Assignment Form must be completed and returned to the publisher.
Neurogastroenterology and Motility does not make the payment of page charges an absolute condition for the acceptance of a manuscript for publication. Authors will be charged at $50 per printed black and white page, or $550 per page including colour illustrations. However, in exceptional cases, upon appeal by the author before publication of the article, the Editors may waive the assessment.
Manuscripts describing studies involving animals should comply with local/national guidelines governing the use of experimental animals and contain a statement indicating that the procedures have been approved by the appropriate regulatory body. Manuscripts concerned with human studies must contain statements indicating that informed, preferably written consent has been obtained, that studies have been performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki and that the procedures have been approved by a local ethics committee.
All articles are subject to review by experienced referees. The Editors and the Editorial Advisory Board judge manuscripts suitable for publication. All decisions made by the Editors are final.
Material accepted for publication is copy-edited and typeset. Proofs are then sent to contributors for a final check, but extensive changes to the proofs may be charged to the contributors.
Hot topics
Manuscripts to be submitted for the HOT TOPICS section are to be no more than 3 printed journal pages in length including only one figure and a maximum of six references; not to exceed 1500 words in total. They will be reviewed and accepted by the Editors on the basis of their outstanding scientific value and the presentation of novel insights into neural control on gut functions in health or disease. HOT TOPICS articles will be only accepted with very minor changes. Publication will be in the next available issue with the aim to publish the manuscript about 2 months after submission. The Editors reserve the right to reject the manuscript without formal review. Rejection for inclusion in the HOT TOPICS section does not disqualify for resubmission as an original article.
