Manuscript Submission Guidelines & Editorial Policies Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics.
The Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism (JCBFM) features international peer-reviewed contributions highlighting experimental, theoretical, and clinical aspects of brain circulation, imaging and metabolism. It is truly relevant to any physician or scientist with an interest in brain function, including neurologists, neurochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, and neuroscientists. JCBFM stands at the interface between basic and clinical neurovascular research.
PUBLICATION PAGE CHARGES (Do not apply to invited authors)
After final layout for publication, each page of an article will incur a fixed charge of:
$97 per page for members of the ISCBFM
$130 per page for non-members
This charge is fully inclusive of colour reproduction of all colour images in print, HTML and PDF formats. It covers also a proportion of the costs of processing and producing the article for publication.
OPEN ACCESS
Upon acceptance of a manuscript, authors will be charged a one-time article processing charge (APC) to be paid by the author, institution or funder. This fee covers the cost of publication and ensures that articles will be freely available in perpetuity.
- The full price article processing charge (APC) is $3,000 + VAT where applicable*
- The discounted article processing charge (APC) for ISCBFM members is $2,250 + VAT where applicable*
*If the paying author/institution is based in the European Union, to comply with European law, Value Added Tax (VAT) must be added to the APC. Providing a VAT registration number will allow an institution to avoid paying this tax, except for UK institutions. An invoice will be issued in GBP.
For further information click to 5.3 Open access and author archiving
Page charges will not apply to open access papers where the author is paying an article processing charge.
Please read the guidelines below then visit the journal’s submission site https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcbfm to upload your manuscript. Please note that manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned.
Only manuscripts of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism will be reviewed. Papers judged by the Editors to be of insufficient general interest or otherwise inappropriate are rejected promptly without external review.
Originality: A submitted manuscript must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract or preliminary report), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if accepted, must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of Sage Publications. Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the study to a significant extent. Although the Editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with JCBFM, its Editors or the publisher.

Negative Results Reports are intended to provide a forum for data that did not substantiate the alternative hypothesis (i.e. a difference between the experiment groups), and/or did not produce published findings. Since the net effect of a Negative Result is to discourage repetition, the standards for acceptance will be highly demanding. Typically, Type II error considerations are mandatory.
In preparing this manuscript, follow the guidelines for Original Articles.

2. Preparing your manuscript
2.1 Word processing formats
Main document files, including tables, must be submitted in editable format, not in PDF. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are Word DOC, RTF, XLS. LaTeX files are not accepted. The text should be double-spaced throughout and with a minimum of 75px for left and right hand margins and 125px at head and foot. Text should be standard 10 or 12 point.
2.2 Artwork, figures and other graphics
For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures and graphs in electronic format, please visit SAGE’s Manuscript Submission Guidelines.
Figures supplied in colour will appear in colour online and in the print issue. Colour reproduction of images in print is covered by the page charges for publication of a manuscript.
2.3 Supplemental material
The Journal is able to host additional materials online (e.g. datasets, podcasts, videos, images, etc.) alongside the full-text of the article. These will be subjected to peer review alongside the article, but are not published in print.
Authors should submit supplementary information files in the final format as they are not edited and will appear online exactly as submitted. Supplementary material should be uploaded if possible as one supplementary file including figure and movie legends. Movies and extensive tables should be uploaded in separate supplementary files.
Supplementary files must be as small as possible so that they can be downloaded quickly. Images should not exceed 640 x 480 pixels. For movies we recommend 480 x 360 pixels as the maximum frame size and a frame rate of 15 frames per second. If applicable to the presentation of the information, use a 256-colour palette. Please consider the use of lower specification for all of these points if the supplementary information can still be presented clearly. Our recommended maximum data rate is 150 KB/s.
For more information please refer to our guidelines on submitting supplemental files.

Title page of manuscript
The title page should include (a) the complete manuscript title; (b) all authors’ full names (listed as first name, middle initial, last name) and affiliations; (c) the name, postal address for correspondence, telephone number and e-mail address; and (d) a running headline of no more than 50 characters (including spaces) should be supplied which conveys the essential message of the paper.
If authors regard it as essential to indicate that two or more co-authors are equal in status, they may be identified on the manuscript title page by an asterisk symbol with the caption “These authors contributed equally to this work” immediately under the author affiliations list.
Please note that the title, keywords and abstract are key to ensuring that readers find your article online through online search engines such as Google. Please refer to the information and guidance on how best to title your article, write your abstract and select your keywords by visiting the SAGE Journal Author Gateway for guidelines on How to Help Readers Find Your Article Online
Unstructured abstract and keywords on a separate page, following title page.
The abstract should be unstructured, factual and comprehensive. The use of abbreviations and acronyms should be limited and general statements (e.g. “the significance of the results is discussed”) should be avoided. Five keywords should be provided in alphabetical order below the abstract.
Materials/subjects and methods section
This section should contain sufficient detail, so that all experimental procedures can be reproduced, and include references. Methods, however, that have been published in detail elsewhere should not be described in detail. Authors should provide the name of the manufacturer and their location for any specifically named medical equipment and instruments, and all drugs should be identified by their pharmaceutical names, and by their trade name if relevant.
2.5 Reference Style

3. Submitting your manuscript
3.1 How to submit your manuscript
JCBFM is hosted on SAGE Track, a web based online submission and peer review system powered by ScholarOne™ Manuscripts. Visit https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcbfm to login and submit your article online.
IMPORTANT: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the Journal in the past year it is likely that you will have had an existing account. For further guidance on submitting your manuscript online, please visit ScholarOne Online Help.
3.2 How to submit your revised manuscript
Authors submitting a revised manuscript after review are asked in the submission process to include a point-by-point response to reviewers’ comments. It is imperative that your response be entered as editable text into the box provided for it. This text may in addition be uploaded as a file with embedded figures and/or tables if authors consider it necessary (File name: Author response to referees, file type: Other).
Papers revised after a decision may NOT be submitted as new manuscripts. Revisions submitted as new papers will be withdrawn by the Editorial Office. If you encounter difficulties submitting your revision, please contact the Editorial Office for help.
Authors should submit two copies of the revised manuscript: one clean document (file type: Main Document) and one showing highlighted changes made in response to reviewers' comments (file type: Other). Changes should be indicated using colour markings of the text. Please do not use underlining or the track changes function to highlight changes. Comment boxes are allowed. If the paper is accepted, the clean document only will be forwarded to the publisher.
At the revision stage, authors of manuscripts that contain cropped gels/blots must submit the original, uncropped image of each cropped gel/blot appearing in the manuscript. Each unedited gel/blot should be clearly labeled as "Full unedited gel/blot for Figure X", and the lanes of the unedited gel/blot that appear in the cropped image in the manuscript should be highlighted. All blots should contain markers denoting the location of molecular weight standards (units in kDa).
The original gel/blot images should be submitted in a single PDF file and uploaded with the file designation "Supplemental Files". The file of the unedited images will be made available in the online supplementary material if the manuscript is accepted.
3.3 Corresponding author contact details
Provide full contact details for the corresponding author including email, mailing address and telephone numbers. Academic affiliations are required for all co-authors.
3.4 ORCID
As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process SAGE is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognised.
The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.
If you do not already have an ORCID iD, please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.
