Determining Authorship
(See AUTHORSHIP DEFINITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES)
All authors, including the co-authors, should be responsible for a significant part of the manuscript. All authors and co-authors should have taken part in writing the manuscript, reviewing it, and revising its intellectual and technical content. Any author whose name appears on a manuscript assumes responsibility and accountability for the results.
Submission Process
CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE TYPES AND WORD LIMITS
All Original submissions must contain:
An Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval (or waiver) statement in the Methods section
Acknowledgments section (if applicable) after the Conclusion of the manuscript, followed by
An Author Contribution statement for each listed author (list contributors' first and last names in this section; do not use initials), followed by
An Author Disclosure Statement for each author listed on a submission, even if there are no conflicts to disclose, followed by,
Funding statement(s), even if there is no funding information to declare.
See IRB APPROVALS, PATIENT CONSENT, & ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS
See AUTHOR CONFIRMATION AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS
See FUNDING INFORMATION: COMPLIANCE AND STATEMENTS
All manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.
When submitting your manuscript for peer review, be prepared to:
Provide a cover letter
Enter the full title of the manuscript
Enter the full names and institutional affiliations of ALL listed authors
Enter ALL listed authors' institutional email addresses
Identify the corresponding author
Enter a running (abbreviated) title of no more than 50 characters (including spaces).
Enter 3–6 keywords or phrases to assist in the selection of skilled reviewers in the field for the purposes of peer review.
Provide an unstructured abstract of no more than 200 words, stating the aims, results, and conclusions drawn from the study.
Provide the names and email addresses of at least five potential preferred reviewers familiar with the field. Please make sure that preferred reviewers are not from your university or institution or with whom you have collaborated. Only suggested reviewers who have an academic and/or institutional email address will be considered. Email addresses with generic domain names (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc.) will be disregarded. Anyone whom the author does not want to be considered should also be named as a non-preferred reviewer. Ultimate reviewer selection is at the Editor’s discretion.
Confirm that the material has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
Create an Effective Title
Manuscript titles should be brief, contain key terms, and clearly identify the purpose of the work conducted
Manuscript titles should not exceed 15 -18 words. Exceptions can be made with the Editor’s approval
Manuscript titles should be direct and to the point. Remember that the journal has a global readership, so clear and concise non-vernacular language is most effective
Avoid the use of specific locations in the title
Do not use proprietary/trademarked names in the title
Do not use acronyms in the title unless they are universally recognized and accepted
NOTE: The title page of your submission must be included as part of your main text document (not as a separate file).
File Naming
All file names should be in English and contain only alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces, symbols, special characters, dashes, dots, or underscores. Label each file with the first author's last name, followed by the content of the file (i.e.: SmithText; SmithTables; SmithFigureLegends; SmithFig1, etc.)
Important: Please upload individual files of all manuscript material as described herein — please do NOT upload a combined PDF file containing all material in your submission.
Preparation of Manuscript
Prepare text of manuscripts, figure legends, and tables in Microsoft Word, double spaced. The order of elements in each manuscript should be:
Title page (with full manuscript title, all contributing authors and their affiliations, a short running title, a denotation of the corresponding author, and a list of 3-6 keywords)
Abstract
Main text (do not embed figures or tables)
Conclusion (as a separate paragraph, not as part of the Discussion section)
Acknowledgments (if applicable)
Authorship confirmation statement (see below)
Author(s’) disclosure statement(s) (see below)
Funding statement (see below)
References
Figure legends
Tables
Supplemental files (if applicable; supplied in Word, not as a PDF)
Note: The keywords are search terms that will aid in the discoverability of the article in indexing services and search engines. They may or may not be different from the terms that you selected for the peer review process and areas of expertise. You will be asked to retype these search terms in the submission form when uploading your manuscript. These keywords will be included in the published article. If the search terms entered do not match the manuscript, the manuscript will serve as the default.
Manuscript Text
Maximum word count for original articles should not exceed 3,000 words. In general, the text should be organized under the headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. The Results and Discussion must be separate sections.
Abbreviations
Rules for abbreviations and nomenclature follow those detailed annually in the first annual issue of J Biol Chem
References
In-text citations:
All references must be cited within the text using the name and date format. For EndnoteTM users, the style is: http://endnote.com/downloads/style/dna-and-cell-biology
Example: The cell–cell adhesion structures are often found abnormal in various cancers (Vasioukhin, 2012).
If more than two authors are involved, use et al. (no italics) after the first author's name, e.g. (Rhee et al., 2018). If several works by the same authors are cited in one year, use a lowercase letter designation to indicate the individual citations [e.g. (Zhao et al., 2015a, 2015b)]. Use the same designation in the reference list.
DNA and Cell Biology, in general, does not support the use of preprint articles as official references as they have not yet been peer reviewed. However, if it is absolutely essential, follow the structure of a journal article reference, but include "[Preprint]" in place of the journal name, and the DOI in place of the volume and page range.
Reference Section:
Include the complete reference section as part of the main text file, not as a separate file. All references in the reference section must be double spaced and listed in alphabetical order at the end of the article. List all authors when there are six or fewer. When there are more than six authors, list the first six followed by et al. References must include complete titles and the complete page range of cited articles. Use journal abbreviations as provided by PubMed/Medline. If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, they are not to be in the list of references. They should be referred to in the text in parentheses: (AB Jones, personal communication, year). Include among the references any articles that have been accepted but have not yet published; identify the name of the publication and add "In Press." If the reference has been published online only and is not (yet) paginated, provide the DOI number in place of the page range.
