Information for Authors
Aims and Scope
DNA Research publishes research papers with original findings of substantial importance in broad aspects of DNA and genome-related research. Emphasis will be made on the following subjects: 1) Sequencing and characterization of genomes/important genomic regions, 2) Functional analysis of genes, gene families and genomes, 3) Techniques, equipment, and software useful for structural and functional analysis of genes and genomes, 4) Comprehensive analysis of the structure and function of genes and genomes as well as relevant informatics methods and tools. The journal also welcomes novel findings in other scientific disciplines related to genomes.
Article Types
DNA Research publishes three types of articles.
Research Article: Articles presenting novel findings of biological significance that advance the current knowledge in a specific research field and attract a broad interest of readers.
Resource Article: Genomes Explored a): Articles concisely reporting the results of analysis of genomes, transcriptomes and related aspects of diverse organisms to be considered useful as genomic resources.
Review b): Articles providing an overview in a constructive and provocative manner of a specific field or topic that has been significantly developed in recent years.
a) This article type has been introduced in 2020 to provide a useful genomic resource for scientists. Manuscripts should concisely report the results of analysis of genomes, transcriptomes and related aspects of diverse organisms.
b) Review articles are published on an invitation-basis only. If you are interested in writing a review article on a topic of your expertise, please express your wish to Editor-in-Chief (dnar-eic@kazusa.or.jp) in advance.
Manuscript Preparation: Basic Instructions
Manuscripts are limited to 10 typeset pages in principle (approximately 7,000 words or 30 manuscript pages), but supporting data may be presented as supplementary data, if accepted. Authors are expected to follow the journal’s basic manuscript structure and formatting requirements. Papers which do not comply may be unsubmitted by the Editorial Office and a request sent to the corresponding author to resubmit the manuscript with the necessary additions or amendments.
Manuscripts should be structured to include the following sections: (1) title page, (2) abstract (no more than 200 words), (3) introduction, (4) materials and methods, (5) results and discussion, (6) references, (7) tables, and (8) figure legends. The title page, abstract, references, tables (each table), and figure legends must begin on a new page.
Cover letter: Authors are required to submit a cover letter which should briefly state the originality, significance and advancement made by the work in the relevant field, and confirm that the criteria for authorship described in the ‘Authorship’ section below are fulfilled.
Detailed instructions on preparing manuscripts for submission can be found below.
Online Submission: Basic Instructions
Submissions should be made through the online submission system.
As your manuscript will be subjected to critical evaluation by editors and peer reviewers, we would like to ask you to pay attention to the following points: in addition to making the manuscript clear and concise, please avoid large-sized and/or complicated figures/tables wherever possible. This is to aid readers in understanding the article and to help ensure that the file size of the manuscript PDF including figures/tables does not become too large.
Please provide figures/ tables to which their number and caption are clearly indicated along with appropriate footnote/figure legend so that they can be easily evaluated by reviewers. You should provide table footnotes/figure legends in the main text as well. These precautions will enhance the speed of peer-reviewing process.
Detailed instructions on submitting manuscript files can be found below.
Review Process
All manuscripts are peer-reviewed by qualified reviewers and edited by one of the editorial board members. Authors are notified, generally within 6 weeks after submission, of the editor’s decision. When a manuscript is returned to the author for amendment, it should be returned to the editor within 3 months, otherwise it may be considered withdrawn.
Publication
DNA Research aims to publish authors’ accepted manuscripts on our Advance articles page within 24 hours of receipt at OUP. In order to do this, it is imperative that authors sign their licence agreements immediately.
Manuscripts are then copyedited, typeset, proofed out, and corrected. Once the manuscripts are finalised, the uncorrected manuscripts are taken off the Advance Access page and replaced with the final corrected articles.
Open Access Charges
DNA Research is a fully open access journal, and all articles are published in the journal under an open access license immediately upon publication. You will need to pay an open access charge to publish under an open access license.

Ethics
When reporting animal experiments, authors should indicate whether the institution’s, national research council’s, or any other law on the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. When reporting on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the Helsinki Declaration (1964, amended most recently in 2008) of the World Medical Association. Manuscripts should include a statement that the patient’s written consent was obtained and any information, including illustrations, should be as anonymized as far as possible. Authors should indicate that the design of the work has been approved by local ethical committees or that it conforms to standards currently applied in the country of origin. The name of the authorizing body and the authorization number of the study should be stated in the paper.
When preparing your manuscript, we recommend referring to the ARRIVE guidelines.
Misconduct
Misconduct on submitted manuscripts is taken seriously and will lead to immediate rejection. This includes dual-submission, plagiarism (including self-plagiarism or salami-slicing publication), figure manipulation, duplicate publication and fraudulent data. If authors are not using original material, they must obtain the relevant permission(s) to reproduce any copyright material and acknowledge the original source in their manuscript.
If misconduct is discovered after a manuscript is accepted, the article will be retracted and a note to announce retraction will be published. Any possible case of misconduct will be dealt with and if it cannot be resolved by discussion with the authors, the case may be reported to the appropriate authorities. If, during the course of reviewing an article, an editor is alerted to possible problems such as fraudulent data in another publication, the Editor-in-Chief may contact the journal in which the previous publication appeared to raise the concern.
DNA Research is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and investigates all potential cases of misconduct thoroughly on a case-by-case basis. Cases of research or publication misconduct may be referred to COPE in an anonymised format.
