AUTHOR ACCOUNTS
Authors entering the journal’s Editorial Manager site can either create a new account or use an existing one. When you have an existing account, use it for all your submissions;
you can track their status on the same page.
If you have forgotten your username and password, please click the link “Send Username/Password” and enter your mail address. You will then receive an automatic e-mail with your user name and password. Alternatively, please create a new account and then follow the instructions given on the screen.
GETTING STARTED
Once you have logged into your account, Editorial Manager will lead you through the submission process in an orderly, step-by-step process. If you cannot finish your submission in one visit, you can save a draft and re-enter the process later at the same point for that manuscript.
While submitting your electronic manuscript, you will be required to enter data about your manuscript in the system. These include full title, author names and affiliations, and so forth, as listed below under Preparation of Manuscripts. Support for special characters is available.
UPLOADING FILES
Main Documents: Main documents of articles should be uploaded in rich text format (.rtf) or as a Microsoft Word document (.doc).
Tables: Use the table functions of your word-processing
program, not spreadsheets, to make tables. Tables may be uploaded separately from the main document or inserted into
the main document.
Figures: Common graphic files such as GIF, JPEG, EPS, and TIFF are supported. Please upload figures that are satisfactory for the review process. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, you will be required to provide figures/illustrations of sufficient quality for printing according to Requirements for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Accepted Papers toward the end of these instructions.
After uploading the parts of the article in this manner, the system will convert the files to PDF format. You can view the result of the conversion with Adobe Acrobat Reader. You will also be notified by e-mail that your submission was successful.
At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see frequently asked questions.
If the total size of the files exceeds the file volume (20 MB) for online submission, reduce the resolution of large files for initial submission.
KEEPING TRACK
After submission, you may return and monitor the progress of your submission through the review process.
HUMAN AND ANIMAL STUDIES
All human studies must be conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki principles. Authors should include a statement that the studies have been approved by the appropriate institutional review board(s) (IRB), together with a statement that written informed consent was received from participants prior to inclusion in the study.
For animal studies, authors should state that the studies have been approved by the appropriate institutional review board(s) and conducted according to all applicable institutional and/or national guidelines for the care and use of animals.
These statements should be included in an independent paragraph in the Methods section of the manuscript. Manuscripts without the paragraph will not be reviewed.
INFORMED CONSENT
All individuals have individual rights that are not to be infringed. Individual participants in studies e.g. have the right to decide what happens to the (identifiable) personal data gathered and to what they have said e.g. during a study or an interview as well as to any photograph that was taken. Hence it is important that all participants gave their informed consent in writing prior to inclusion in the study. Identifying details (names, dates of birth, identity numbers and other information) of the participants that were studied should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and genetic profiles unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the participant (or parent or guardian if the participant is incapable) has given written informed consent for publication. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve in some cases, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of participants is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic profiles, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning.
The following statement should be included:
Informed consent: “Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.”
If identifying information about participants is available in the article, the following statement should be included:
“Additional informed consent was obtained from all individual participants for whom identifying information is included in this article.”
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements dealing with ethical concerns. The author will be held responsible for false statements or failure to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts should be double-spaced. Leave margins of approximately 3 cm on the sides, top, and bottom of the page.
Three manuscript pages correspond to about one printed page. The title page should include the authors’ names, addresses, and affiliations. Please indicate the name, address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author who is to receive correspondence. Provide up to five key words.
Articles should have the following format: Title page, text, conflict of interest, references, tables, figure legends, and artwork. Number pages consecutively. Consult a current issue of the journal for the exact format.

TABLES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Prepare each table (with its title) on a separate page. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Each table must be able to stand alone, i.e., it must contain enough information to be understood independently of the text. Details of experimental conditions, statistical significance, and the definition of all abreviations should be included in the table footnotes. Information that appears in the text should not be repeated in detail in the tables, and tables should not contain data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals. Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.). If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lowercase letters will still be used in the figure captions and citations.For all figures, double-spaced figure legends should be supplied on a separate page. Magnifications should be included when appropriate, and all abbreviations must be defined.
All tables and figures must be cited in order in the text.
If a figure has been published previously, acknowledge its source and submit written permission from the author and publisher. The previously published source should also be included in the list of references.
ABBREVIATIONS AND NOMENCLATURE
Abbreviations and nomenclature should follow the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the International Union of Biochemistry at the web sites, http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/jcbn/. All quantities stated should conform to the International System of Units (SI units). The list of abbreviations in Endocrinology 138: 1 (January 1997) is generally acceptable in JBMM. Drug names should always be generic. Please give the name and location (city, state, country) of the manufacturer of any equipment referred to in your manuscript.
