2. AIMS AND SCOPE
The journal Mycoses provides an international forum for original papers in English on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prophylaxis, and epidemiology of fungal infectious diseases in humans as well as on the biology of pathogenic fungi.
Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the underlying disease of a patient at risk decisively determines their symptomatology and progress. The journal Mycoses is therefore of interest to scientists in fundamental mycological research, mycological laboratory diagnosticians and clinicians interested in fungal infections.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Original Articles – reports of new research findings or conceptual analyses that make a significant contribution to knowledge.
Original Articles should be divided into sections headed:
Introduction;
Materials and methods (or patients and methods/subjects and methods if human patients/subjects were used);
Results;
Discussion.
Avoid an excess of sub-headings - two further divisions, if necessary, should be adequate.
Authors must include an Ethics Statement in the methods section. For details on what to include in this statement, see the section Ethics Statement in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section below.
Reviews – critical reviews of the literature, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
From 1st January 2018 Case Reports and Letters to the Editor will no longer be considered for publication in Mycoses.
4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION
Cover Letters
Cover letters are not mandatory; however, they may be supplied at the author’s discretion, and may be kept short.
Free format submission
Mycoses offers free format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.
Before you submit, you will need:
Your manuscript: this should be an editable file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files—whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including an abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. Figures should be uploaded in the highest resolution possible. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. Supporting information should be submitted in separate files. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers, and the editorial office will send it back to you for revision. Your manuscript may also be sent back to you for revision if the quality of English language is poor.
An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Why is this important? Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)
The title page of the manuscript, including:
Your co-author details, including their affiliations
If your article includes original research: An ethical statement which should include any necessary ethical approval(s) and consent procedures. (Why are these important? We need to uphold rigorous ethical standards for the research we consider for publication)
If you are invited to revise your manuscript after peer review, the journal will request the revised manuscript to be formatted according to journal requirements as described below.
Parts of the Manuscript
The manuscript should be submitted in separate files: main text file; figures.
Main Text File
The text file should be presented in the following order:
i. A short informative title containing the major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips);
ii. A short running title of less than 50 characters;
iii. The full names of the authors;
iv. The author's institutional affiliations where the work was conducted, with a footnote for the author’s present address if different from where the work was conducted;
v. Acknowledgments;
vii. Conflict of Interest Statement;
vii. Abstract and keywords;
viii. Main text;
ix. References;
x. Tables (each table complete with title and footnotes);
xi. Figure legends;
xii. Appendices (if relevant).
Figures and supporting information should be supplied as separate files.
Authorship
Please refer to the journal’s authorship policy the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on eligibility for author listing.
Author Contributions: For all articles, the journal mandates the CRediT (Contribution Roles Taxonomy), for more information please see Author Services.
Acknowledgments
Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section. If the authors submit in the name of a research group, whose further members have contributed data, these can be separately acknowledged as “collaborators”, both in the manuscript and in the metadata entered in Scholar One. Please note that the name of the group should, in this case, appear after the authors, and, identically, in the header of the acknowledgement footnote. In addition to collaborator names, their institution and address should be entered, as with authors proper. This enables transfer of the set of collaborators in Medline, where they can be retrieved. Financial and material support should also be mentioned. Thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Conflict of Interest Statement
Authors will be asked to provide a conflict of interest statement during the submission process. For details on what to include in this section, see the section ‘Conflict of Interest’ in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section below. Submitting authors should ensure they liaise with all co-authors to confirm agreement with the final statement.
Abstract
Normally in less than 250 words, this should indicate clearly the scope and main conclusions of the paper. Original articles should have a structured abstract, comprising the five headings: Background, Objectives, Patients/Methods, Results and Conclusions. For Review Articles, abstracts are not required to be structured.
Keywords
Please provide eight keywords. Keywords should preferably be taken from those recommended by the US National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser list at www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh.
Main Text
Authors should aim for a concise readable style. Spelling should follow the Concise Oxford Dictionary, and The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors. The Editors reserve the right to make corrections, both literary and technical, to the papers.
The introduction should explain why the work was done and briefly introduce the scope and contents of the paper. Essential details should be included in materials and methods, including experimental design and statistical analysis. Results should be recorded in the past tense. The discussion should present the author's results in the broader context of other work on the subject. Acknowledgements should be as brief as possible.
References
All references should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance and should be as complete as possible. In text citations should cite references in consecutive order using Arabic superscript numerals. For more information about AMA reference style please consult the AMA Manual of Style
