Important Information for Authors
Types of Papers
Please note:
The word counts given below do not include the abstract, references, figure legends or table captions.
Leading Article. Word count up to 4000. Provides a short, balanced overview of the current state of development of an emerging area.
Review Article. Word count 3000 to 6000. Provides an authoritative, balanced, comprehensive, fully referenced and critical review of the literature.
Current Opinion. Word count 1500 to 4000. Places an area in perspective given that it is of current international interest and a consensus has not yet been reached; therefore, the arguments presented may be controversial, but at the same time must be balanced and rational.
Systematic Review. Word count up to 10,000. Collates all empirical evidence that fits pre-specified eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question. It uses explicit, systematic methods that are selected with a view to minimizing bias, thus providing reliable findings from which conclusions can be drawn and decisions made. Please follow the reporting guidelines of PRISMA.
Original Research. The journal will consider studies with a genetic focus, such clinical trials (particularly well-designed, randomised studies), meta-analyses, outcomes research, and pharmacoeconomic and pharmacoepidemiological studies. Such papers should be submitted as Original Research Articles, following the reporting guidelines of CONSORT for randomized controlled trials and STROBE for purely observational studies. Reports of studies that have investigated original approaches to clinical management but that are smaller in scale and, thus, may report pilot data warranting further investigation, may also be considered for publication; such articles should be submitted as Short Communications.
Letter to the Editor. Word count up to 1000. Comment on an article published recently in the journal; a response to the comments would normally be sought from the authors of the original article and published in the same issue, where possible.
Editorial/Commentary. Word count up to 1500. A brief opinion piece on a current topic of high interest.
Editorial Procedure
Internal Review by Editorial Staff: The journal editor will perform an initial appraisal of each manuscript. If your paper has been peer reviewed by another journal as part of a prior submission, the journal editor will also assess any previous editorial/referee comments and how these have been dealt with as part of the appraisal process. If your manuscript is considered unsuitable for the journal to which it has been submitted, it may be assessed for suitability for publication in other Adis journals by appropriate editors. However, it will not be progressed to external peer review for an alternative journal without your permission.
External Peer Review: Peer reviewer identities are kept confidential, but author identities are known to the reviewers. Peer reviewers are asked to disclose potential conflicts of interests that may affect their ability to provide an unbiased review of an article. The majority of manuscripts will require some degree of revision following peer review before they can be accepted for publication. The final decision on acceptability for publication lies with the journal editor.
Copy Editing: All accepted manuscripts are copy edited. This process addresses general publishing considerations, such as layout of tables and figures, housestyle and clarity of expression. Authors will receive proofs following editing for their approval and sign off. It should be noted that the responsibility for checking the technical accuracy and consistency of data within the article rests with the authors
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
