Guide for Authors
Lung Cancer is an international publication covering the clinical, translational and basic science of malignancies of the lung and chest region.
Original research articles, early reports, review articles, editorials and correspondence covering the prevention, epidemiology and etiology, basic biology, pathology, clinical assessment, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, combined treatment modalities, other treatment modalities and outcomes of lung cancer are welcome.
All original papers submitted to Lung Cancer will be evaluated by the Journal's Editors. Some manuscripts may be rejected outright following this evaluation. Those manuscripts which are judged as being eligible for consideration by the Editors will be subject to peer-review.
Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/lungcancer and the instructions on this site should be closely followed. Once the manuscript has been uploaded, our system automatically generates an electronic PDF proof which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, will be managed via this system. Authors may also track the progress of their paper using this system to final decision.
In a covering letter, please identify the person responsible for editorial correspondence (address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address). All authors should have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (1) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, (3) final approval of the version to be submitted. A statement should also be included stating that the manuscript, including related data, figures and tables has not been published previously and that the manuscript is not under consideration elsewhere. Also include the word count of your article on the cover letter and details of any previous submission. Authors should supply the names and email addresses of up to three potential reviewers for their manuscript, at least one of which must be in a different country. Please do not suggest reviewers from your own institution, previous or current collaborators, or Editorial Board members. Please do not contact any reviewers you have suggested.
If you have any problems submitting to the system please contact us at https://service.elsevier.com/.
Types of Articles
Editorials: Editorials are generally written upon invitation. Editorials do not have an abstract or keywords and should be limited to 1,500 words in length. Authors wishing to prepare an Editorial should contact the Editorial Office with a synopsis of their idea before submission (lungcancer@elsevier.com).
Original research articles: Original, full-length research papers which have not been published previously, except in a preliminary form, may be submitted. Original research papers should include a structured abstract and should be divided into sections (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion). They should not exceed 5,000 words in length.
Short communications: Short communications provide a brief but complete account of a piece of work. They should have a structured abstract and should be divided into sections (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion). Short communications should have no more than ten references and should not exceed 2,000 words in length.
Early reports: Early reports should briefly describe the initial results of a research topic. They should adhere to the same structure and word count as short communications.
Review articles: Review articles which are topical and which are a critical assessment of any aspect of lung cancer may be submitted. Review articles should include an unstructured abstract. They should not exceed 5,000 words in length.
Case Reports: Lung Cancer rarely publishes case reports but will consider unique cases or a unique series of cases of interest and relevance to the journal's readership. They should be a maximum of 1,500 words, contain a structured abstract and have no more than ten references.
Correspondence: Letters to the Editor which comment directly on work that has previously been published in Lung Cancer will be considered. The author of the paper on which the Letter is commenting will be contacted and invited to respond. In addition, Lung Cancer will consider letters on unique cases or observations of interest to the journal's readership. Letters have a limit of 1,000 words and should be structured as a Letter, without an abstract or keywords.

Ethics in publishing
Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
Studies in humans and animals
If the work involves the use of human subjects, the author should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments involving humans. The manuscript should be in line with the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals and aim for the inclusion of representative human populations (sex, age and ethnicity) as per those recommendations. The terms sex and gender should be used correctly.
Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and should be carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments, or the National Institutes of Health guide for the care and use of Laboratory animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978) and the authors should clearly indicate in the manuscript that such guidelines have been followed. The sex of animals must be indicated, and where appropriate, the influence (or association) of sex on the results of the study.
Work on human beings that is submitted to Lung Cancer should comply with the principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki; Recommendations guiding physicians in biomedical research involving human subjects. Adopted by the 18th World Medical Assembly, Helsinki, Finland, June 1964, amended by the 29th World Medical Assembly, Tokyo, Japan, October 1975, the 35th World Medical Assembly, Venice, Italy, October 1983, and the 41st World Medical Assembly, Hong Kong, September 1989. The manuscript should contain a statement that the work has been approved by the appropriate ethical committees related to the institution(s) in which it was performed and that subjects gave informed consent to the work. Studies involving experiments with animals must state that their care was in accordance with institution guidelines. Patients' and volunteers' names, initials, and hospital numbers should not be used.
Conflict of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places:
1. A summary Conflict of interest Statement in a separate Word document. This should include any detail that may be considered a conflict of interest for all authors. If there are no interests to declare for any of the authors then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. This summary statement will be ultimately published if the article is accepted so needs to be in an editable Word format. Please ensure it includes enough information for researchers as they will not have access to the forms.
2. Detailed disclosures within separate Conflict of Interest / ICMJE forms. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. Please click here for more information. These form(s) will not be published and are for the review process and the journal's official records only.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Preprints
Please note that preprints can be shared anywhere at any time, in line with Elsevier's sharing policy. Sharing your preprints e.g. on a preprint server will not count as prior publication (see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information).
Use of inclusive language
Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition; and use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture and/or cultural assumptions. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using plural nouns ("clinicians, patients/clients") as default/wherever possible to avoid using "he, she," or "he/she." We recommend avoiding the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition unless they are relevant and valid. These guidelines are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language but are by no means exhaustive or definitive.
Author contributions
For transparency, we encourage authors to submit an author statement file outlining their individual contributions to the paper using the relevant CRediT roles: Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Roles/Writing - original draft; Writing - review & editing. Authorship statements should be formatted with the names of authors first and CRediT role(s) following. More details and an example
Collaborators
Collaborators (sometimes called non-author contributors) will be listed on PubMed as collaborators rather than authors. In order to be indexed as collaborators, the names of the consortium or working group members need to be listed in an Appendix in the main text document, not as supplementary material. The consortium or working group should also be included in the main author list. PubMed will list the names of individual group members who are authors or collaborators. There should be a note associated with the author list clearly stating that the individual names are elsewhere in the paper and whether those names are authors or collaborators. Collaborator names are searchable on PubMed in the same way as authors.
If you wish to include a list of collaborators with your paper, you will need to provide an Appendix showing all of the detail that you would like to appear in your paper. We will also need to know if you wish the collaborators to be tagged for PubMed purposes or not.
If they do need to be tagged for PubMed then online they will appear as a secondary list within the main author list at the end, which can be expanded or hidden to just show the name of the collaborative group. In print the name of the collaborative group will appear at the end of the main author list with an asterisk that links to an Appendix, which lists all of the names. If the collaborators do not need to be tagged for PubMed then the list can either be included as an Appendix at the end of your paper or as a Supplementary Appendix to be viewed online only. In either case, you will need to provide the Appendix when submitting your paper and clearly show where you would like it to appear.
Changes to authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
Reporting clinical trials
Randomized controlled trials should be presented according to the CONSORT guidelines. At manuscript submission, authors must provide the CONSORT checklist accompanied by a flow diagram that illustrates the progress of patients through the trial, including recruitment, enrollment, randomization, withdrawal and completion, and a detailed description of the randomization procedure. The CONSORT checklist and template flow diagram are available online.
Registration of clinical trials
Registration in a public trials registry is a condition for publication of clinical trials in this journal in accordance with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors recommendations. Trials must register at or before the onset of patient enrolment. The clinical trial registration number should be included at the end of the abstract of the article. A clinical trial is defined as any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects of health outcomes. Health-related interventions include any intervention used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome (for example drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioural treatments, dietary interventions, and process-of-care changes). Health outcomes include any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants, including pharmacokinetic measures and adverse events. Purely observational studies (those in which the assignment of the medical intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator) will not require registration.
Article transfer service
This journal is part of our Article Transfer Service. This means that if the Editor feels your article is more suitable in one of our other participating journals, then you may be asked to consider transferring the article to one of those. If you agree, your article will be transferred automatically on your behalf with no need to reformat. Please note that your article will be reviewed again by the new journal. More information.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' (see more information on this). An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' form or a link to the online version of this agreement.
