Since 2002, when the test was put in place,25 percent of all accepted manuscripts have had one or more illustrations that were manipulated in ways that violate the journal's guidelines, said Michael Rossner of Rockefeller University, theexecutive editor. The editor of the journal, Ira Mellman of Yale, said that most cases were resolved when the authors provided originals. "In 1 percent of the cases we find authors have engaged in fraud,"he/2006/01/24/science/24frau.html?ex=1140411600&en=4658d23018bca48a&ei=5070Forms, Forms, Forms Checklist (items specified by journal)Copyright transfer agreement (all authors sign? corresponding author signs on behalf of all coauthors?) In addition to “ownership”:*manuscript is original, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere*all coauthors have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript being submittedOther authorizations (e.g., to reproduce material from another copyrighted source)Assurances (formal statement regarding ethical treatment of animals and/or human subjects used in research)Cover Letter: Be ProfessionalUse official letterhead (verifies where you work). Get the editor's name right! (misspelling editor’s name or sending a letter addressed to previous editor does not inspire confidence).Describe SUCCINCTLY what you found and why this will interest the readers of the journal; what is key message / implications of your findings?WHY are you submitting to THIS particular journal? Show an understanding of the journal's readership and/or previous related publications.Consult the Instructions to Authors for necessary wording (e.g., that the paper is not being considered for publication by other journals; etc.) Can recommend/exclude referees!Now that it’s submitted…. Journals usually acknowledge receipt of submissions (typically by email)Usually assign a reference number for all further correspondence.Once you have received this acknowledgement, ALL YOU CAN DO IS WAIT!Some journals (notably the pay journals and electronic ones) aim to make a decision in a couple of weeks. For the rest, decision-making usually takes from 2 to 6 months.The Big Clock(1948)Stages of the Process* Editorial office receives manuscriptEditor (or Section Editor) assigns it to an Editorial Board Member (EBM)EBM sends it to referees for review (usually with time limit, e.g,. 2 wks) Referees file review report; EBM makes recommendation to Editor/Section Editor Editor/Section Editor informs authors of decision* Different journals may vary in the exact stages and means usedPossible OutcomesOutright rejection (gee, that was quick!) Rejection with an invitation to make major changes and resubmit (usually re-reviewed by same referees as original)Conditional acceptance (pending minor revisions in response to referees’comments)Acceptance (unconditional; no revisions)“Yeah, baby, YEAH!”Manuscript rejected?DON’T JUMP OFF A BRIDGE! Read the referees' or Editor's comments carefully after the initial disappointment has worn off.Put away the reviews for a couple of days, then read them again and decide, with your co-authors, whether or not to change the paper.Re-submitting to the same journal is not usually worthwhile. However, if you feel the critiques are completely flawed, or you are able to answer the major criticisms, it may be worth appealing the decision to the Editor. (In most cases, though, it is better to submit elsewhere.)“Conditional”Acceptance? Conditional on the authors responding suitably to the referees' comments.NOTE: Usually, you DO NOT have to make ALL the changes indicated by the referees (unless explicitly told to do so by the Editor), but you do have to adequately address all their concerns.If you are unwilling to change something, you can REBUT the criticisms, but must give compelling arguments.Prepare a detailed letter of response describing EXACTLY what changes have been made to the original manuscript. If reviewers number their comments, use their numbering system for your response.“Conditional”Acceptance?If you find errors overlooked by the referees or you feel inspired to make changes not suggested by the reviewers, you should identify these in the cover letter. (In most cases, Editors are happy to accept these, since it is easier to make changes at this stage than after typesetting. )Some journals return revised papers to the original referees; alternatively, the Editor may decide directly whether to accept the revised manuscript. Editors also may send your paper to another reviewer, e.g., a statistician. Regardless, you will get a response to your revised paper.In some cases, the Editor will request that you make further changes. The same rules apply.Once the paper is accepted:You will receive formal notification ofacceptance (email; letter).RETAIN THIS NOTIFICATION as proof of acceptance. (e.g., In case you want to cite your work elsewhere before it is published, you may need to provide evidence that your manuscript is "in press“).Some journals now immediately posting the manuscript version to their web sites (“E-Published ahead of print”) Another good reasonto make sure everything is 100% correct in thefinal version submitted to the journal.After the dust settles….You will receive “page proofs”of your manuscript from the publisher.Before it is typeset, it will undergo technical editing. (sub-editors are experts in preparing papers for printing, good at picking up errors/inconsistencies, and putting paper into that journal’s style.Journals usually expect a rapid response to proofs (24-48 hours, faxed, emailed, or both). Make sure Editor is informed, re: changes to corresponding author's contact info.Normally, ALL CHANGES are marked directly on the proofs; it also is a good idea to provide a cover letter, reiterating the corrections.Sit back, relax…. or start your next paper!Electronic (Web-Based) Journals http://www.health.library.mcgill.ca/ejournal/intro.htm#e-journals Electronic Biomedical PublishingBioMed Central (BMC)-the new barrier-free NIHrepository for peer-reviewed primary research reports in the life sciences.

Elsevier投稿的一些问题
关于Elsevier旗下期刊投稿1 关于Elsevier旗下期刊投稿概述(1) Elsevier旗下共有1300多种期刊。
投稿时采用的是Elsevier Editorial System (EES)投稿系统(2) 审稿时间。
通常不会超过半年，如果半年时间到，部分审稿意见没有返回，期刊社同样会把已返回的意见返回给你。
(3) 版权问题。
一般会通过给你发几个PDF合同，然后你打印出来，用手填写，然后邮寄或者扫描后通过email发给他们。
(4) 投稿模板。
通常很多人都会关心这个问题，这是投稿的第一步。
但是Elsevier 旗下期刊对投稿的模板没什么要求，只要你比较注意排版，看着舒服就好。
至于排版，录用后他们编辑会排版，然后让你来校正。
建议，投稿时候不要考虑纸张页数，国外期刊不太关心期刊页数，只要按他们最后的排版不超过30页（好像是30页）一般不会收钱。
(5) 如果投稿论文分成几个部分，在投稿的时候就要分开，按照单独的论文投稿。
不过要在Letter to Editor中要说明这是同一个论文。
(6) Elsevier旗下期刊投稿不收取审稿费，发表也不收取版面费，但超过一定页数会适当收取费用，如果用彩色印刷，也会收钱，他们不收则以，一收就比较多。
(7) 投稿时是否需要把图片和论文主题分开。
这个本来不需要说的，网站上的要求就是如此，需要单独分开上传，但是以我的经验，如果论文图太多，特别是对于国内的网速慢，上传很不方便，可以直接把图放在论文中间，审稿阶段不用考虑图文分开，等录用后再图文分开。
2 Elsevier投稿状态总结(1) Submitted to Journal刚提交的状态(2) Manuscript received by Editorial Office就是你的文章到了编辑手里了，证明投稿成功(3) With editor如果在投稿的时候没有要求选择编辑，就先到主编那，主编会分派给别的编辑。

国外期刊投稿的注意事项
国外期刊投稿的注意事项向国外期刊投稿的注意事项一、正确选择期刊国外英文期刊种类繁多，即使在同一分支学科或同一专业也有许多期刊，并且各个期刊的办刊宗旨、专业范围、主题分配、栏目设置及各种类型文章发表的比例均不相同。
因此，选择一本恰当的期刊并非一件易事，常常要花费较多的时间，然而这是论文写作前必不可少的重要一步，是论文得以发表的一个极其重要的环节。
1.选择期刊应考虑的因素1、作者首先应确定自己的论文主题是否在刊物的征稿范围内及论文撰写格式是否与刊物的要求一致，如果答案是“否”，则应立即停止对该刊物的进一步“研究”，而应去寻找其它可能的刊物。
拟投论文可能极为优秀，但如果不适合于该刊物，则不可能在该刊物被发表。
2、期刊的声望(prestige)期刊的学术水平高，其声望就高；反之，声望则低。
各国生物医学工作者都希望自己的科研成果能够发表在有声望的高质量的生物医学期刊上。
因为声望高的期刊有利于信息的国际间传播和交流，并对学术成果的认可具有权威性。
3、选择期刊的方法如果拟投论文的主题在一个很窄的分支学科内，那么作者的选择范围只能限制在几种刊物中；相反，如果论文的信息交叉了几个研究领域，则作者可以有许多种选择。
然而无论是哪种情先列出一个简单的拟选期刊表，然后逐一对拟选期刊进行比较筛选，作出最后抉择。
二、认真阅读和使用投稿须知1、读刊头(masthead statement，通常放在期刊前面的文题页上)，以了解刊名、简单的办刊宗旨、编辑委员会组成、编辑部成员、出版商及其联系地址等。
2、浏览目录(table of contents)，以确定该刊物是否发表你研究领域的文章及发表的比例有多大。
3、注意栏目设置，确定拟投稿件的栏目。
4、看拟投栏目文章的范例，了解撰写要求及格式。
5、某些期刊刊登文章的投稿和接收日期（submitted and accepted dates），作者可据此计算出论文出版时滞（发表周期）。
6、注意广告数量，以间接判断期刊质量。

Instructions for authors - BMC - revised
Instructions for preparation of manuscripts for publication in supplementsto BioMed Central journalsGeneral informationThe Editor-in-Chief/Executive Editor of the journal retains editorial control at all times and is responsible for all final acceptance decisions. The Editor-in-Chief/Executive Editor may request changes, corrections, re-review or reject articles which do not meet journal standards.Manuscripts accepted by the journal will be published online in fully browseable web forms and formatted PDF files. Articles will be available through BioMed Central website and submitted for inclusion in PubMed where applicable. Conditions of submission and BioMed Central License AgreementBy submitting an article to a supplement to a BioMed Central journal, authors confirm that all authors of the manuscript have read and agreed to its content and are accountable for all aspects of the accuracy and integrity of the manuscript in accordance with ICMJE criteria. They confirm that readily reproducible materials described in the manuscript will be freely available to any scientist wishing to use them for non-commercial purposes , and that ethical approval has been obtained for any human or animal experimentation (for more information see our Instructions for Authors). Authors also confirm that the manuscript is original, has not already been published in a journal and is not currently under consideration by another journal. Assuming your article is accepted for publication, you will later be asked to confirm your acceptance of these points and agreement to these and all other terms of the BioMed Central License Agreement, the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, and our Open Data policy, which we strongly recommend you read.Editorial policiesAll manuscripts submitted for publication in supplements to BioMed Central journals must comply with our editorial policies. Before submission, please ensure that your manuscript meets the criteria outlined on our general policy page online at /about/editorialpolicies.Policies should be followed closely to minimise delays in the review and production process. They cover authorship, completing interests, peer review, confidentiality, ethics, trial registration, registration of systematic reviews, standards of reporting, publication of clinical datasets, data and material release, software describing new taxa, duplication publication, citations, copyright/libel and misconduct.The Duplicate publication policy is of particular importance for conference publications. Authors are required to ensure that no material submitted as part of a manuscript infringes existing copyrights, or the rights of a third party. The article should not already have been published in another journal or other citeable publication and should not be under consideration by any other journal (though it can already have been deposited on a preprint server). If articles have been published previously as extended abstracts then they must be significantly expanded, and include novel methods, results, analysis or interpretation. The original publication must be cited. Copying text from previously published work of others without acknowledging the source is plagiarism may be regarded as misconduct. Text recycling (also known as self-plagiarism, i.e. republication of the author’s own previously published work) is also inappropriate and may breach copyright. Any quotations must be clearly indicated by quote marks and the original source must be cited. For further guidance, please see BioMed Central's Duplicate Publication Policy /about/duplicatepublication.Instructions for authors – articles for submission to supplementsPlease prepare your manuscript in accordance with the instructions for the relevant article type on the journal's website /authors/instructions. For BMC Proceedings, please follow the instructions for BMC Bioinformatics (/bmcbioinformatics/authors/instructions#submitManuscript) for biology-based supplements or BMC Medical Genetics(/bmcmedgenet/authors/instructions#submitManuscript) for medicine-based supplements.Important exceptions to the instructions for articles to be submitted to supplements are outlined below: SubmissionPlease do not submit your supplement manuscript via our online submission system unless specifically asked to do so. Manuscripts (in English) and figures for supplements should be submitted to the supplement organizers and will then be submitted by email or via our ftp site to BioMed Central.PaymentStandard article processing charges (APCs) do not apply for supplements. Publication fees do apply, and arrangements for payment are made outside the online APC payment system. Please contact the Supplements Office if you have any questions regarding fees or payment. Please note that we cannot process supplement payments via membership schemes and cannot apply waivers to supplements.DeclarationsIn addition to the online guidance, all supplement articles must include a Declarations section stating specifically the source of funding for the article’s publication fee. If an arrangement has been made for an organization to pay publication fees on behalf of authors, BioMed Central will add this statement. Where authors are arranging to pay a fee directly to BioMed Central, they make their own declaration in this section and this is usually in the form "Publication charges for this article have been funded by…"Competing interestsAll articles should include a Competing interests section. It is particularly important for sponsored supplements to include relevant disclosures and to include a statement regarding any named sponsor products or compounds in development referred to in the article.ProofsThe supplement organizer will send links to the online proofs and corrections should be returned by email. Once the full text version of the article is finalised, we will create the PDF versions and check these in-house. Corrections cannot be made after the online proof stage.Author presubmission checklist for manuscripts for publication in supplements to BioMed Central journalsBefore submitting the manuscript to your supplement organizer, please go through the list of points below, and refer back to the main instructions if necessary. You should be aware that failure to follow the instructions may cause interruptions to the review and production process which could result in delayed publication of the whole supplement. If it is necessary to make any changes in proof due to incorrect formatting of the original files, changes will be at the discretion of the EditorsWhen you have checked each of the points, please make the required changes to your files.Incorrectly formatted manuscripts cause problems and delays during the production process.Title page of manuscript1.
