Submission guidelines
Instructions to Authors
Scope
The Japanese Journal of Radiology (JJR) is a peer-reviewed, double-blinded journal that is published under the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Japan Radiological Society (JRS), which appoints the Editor, who selects all materials for publication, including advertisements. No responsibility is accepted by the Board of Directors or the Editor for opinions expressed by the contributors. The Editors of JJR abide by the recommendations formulated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/). Although JJR will receive materials prepared and submitted according to these requirements, the right is reserved to introduce any changes necessary to make the contributions conform to the individual editorial standards of this journal.
JJR is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) the journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct.

EDITORIAL POLICIES SOLE SUBMISSION TO JJR
Authors must be certain that a manuscript on the same or similar material has not already been published by them or has not been or will not be submitted to another journal by them or by colleagues at their institution before their work appears in JJR. The submission by authors of similar material to advertising, news media, or other forms of publication must be indicated at the time JJR receives the manuscript, and a copy of that material should be provided with the submission.
TRANSFER OF COPYRIGHT AND CERTIFICATIONS AGREEMENT
Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication in JJR will automatically receive from JRS a license for use of their images. This license extends for the full term of the copyright and allows authors to use and sublicense their images to others without requesting permission from JRS. If authors sublicense their images to commercial parties, they are required to notify JRS but need not request JRS’s permission. Each corresponding author will receive his or her image license after the manuscript is accepted for publication and sent to the JRS Publication Department for processing. Please note that this license is for images (defined as radiologic images, artwork, and related captions) but not for other elements of the accepted manuscript (i.e., text, graphs, tables, software).
Please submit the Certification Form with the initial submission of all proffered works via Editorial Manager. All authors of any single composition must sign this agreement.
Certification Form (Download pdf, 1.5 MB)
Consent to submit must have been received from all co-authors and responsible authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been carried out before the work is submitted. Authors whose names appear on the submission must have contributed sufficiently to the scientific work and therefore share collective responsibility and accountability for the results.
Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript. Requests to add or delete authors at the revision stage or after publication is a serious matter, and may be considered only after receipt of written approval from all authors and detailed explanation about the role/deletion of the new/deleted author. The decision on accepting the change rests with the Editor of the journal.
HUMAN AND ANIMAL STUDIES
It is important that all participants give their informed consent in writing prior to inclusion in the study. Manuscripts reporting the results of studies on human subjects must include a statement in the title pages to the effect that informed consent was obtained after the nature of the procedure(s) had been fully explained, as shown in the following example.
