Author Instructions
Welcome to the electronic manuscript submission website for The Journal of Antibiotics. The instructions below are structured so you can quickly and easily answer the following questions:
1. Is my manuscript suitable for The Journal of Antibiotics? (Scope + Editorial Policy)
2. How do I format my manuscript for The Journal of Antibiotics? (Format of Papers)
3. How do I submit my manuscript to The Journal of Antibiotics? (Submission of Papers)
Aims and Scope
The Journal of Antibiotics seeks to promote research on antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances and publishes Articles, Review Articles, Brief Communication, Correspondence and other specially commissioned reports. The Journal of Antibiotics accepts papers on biochemical, chemical, microbiological and pharmacological studies. However, studies regarding human therapy do not fall under the journal’s scope. Contributions regarding recently discovered antibiotics and biologically active microbial products are particularly encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal's scope include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
Discovery of new antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances Production, isolation, characterization, structural elucidation, chemical synthesis and derivatization, biological activities, mechanisms of action, and structure-activity relationships of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Biosynthesis, bioconversion, taxonomy and genetic studies on producing microorganisms, as well as improvement of production of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Novel physical, chemical, biochemical, microbiological or pharmacological methods for detection, assay, determination, structural elucidation and evaluation of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Newly found properties, mechanisms of action and resistance-development of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Prior to Submission
Editorial policy
A manuscript will be considered for publication on the understanding that all named authors have agreed to its submission and that if accepted it will not be later published in the same or similar form in any language without the consent of the publishers.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts without review. Such rejections must be approved by the editor-inchief, and are intended to alleviate unnecessary workload for the editorial board, as well as provide authors the opportunity to seek other publishing options as soon as possible. Articles that are selected for peer review will be reviewed by two or more referees.
To avoid unnecessary delays in the review process, please consider the following policies carefully before you submit your manuscript. Manuscripts that are not concise or do not conform to the conventions and standards of The Journal of Antibiotics will be returned to the authors for revision.
Conflicts of Interest
In the interests of transparency and to help reviewers assess any potential bias, The Journal of Antibiotics requires authors of original research papers to declare any competing commercial interests in relation to the submitted work.
Referees are also asked to indicate any potential conflict they might have reviewing a particular paper.
Electronic manipulation of images
Digital image enhancement is acceptable practice, although it can result in the presentation of unrepresentative data as well as in the loss of meaningful signals. During manipulation of images a positive relationship between the original data and the resulting electronic image must be maintained. If a figure has been subjected to significant electronic manipulation, the specific nature of the enhancements must be noted in the figure legend or in the 'Materials and methods' section. The editors reserve the right to request original versions of figures from the authors of a paper under consideration.
Supplementary information for the editors and the reviewers
Any manuscripts under review or accepted for publication elsewhere should accompany the submission if they are relevant to its scientific assessment. Authors should also provide upon submission any kind of supplementary material that will aid the review process.
Manuscript types
The types of manuscripts accepted by the The Journal of Antibiotics are:
Article
Brief Communication
Correspondence
Review Article
Perspective
Format of Papers
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously in print or electronic format and are not under consideration by another publication or electronic medium. Copies of possibly duplicative materials that have been previously published or are being considered elsewhere must be provided at the time of manuscript submission.
Cover Letter
The uploaded covering letter must state that the material has not been submitted for publication elsewhere while under consideration for The Journal of Antibiotics. Identify the name, full postal address, email address, and fax number, of corresponding author. The authors are free to offer suggestions of suitable expert reviewers. The layout of the paper should be as follows:
Article
Articles should describe studies that are of high scientific quality and that are of interest to the diverse readership of the journal. Such a manuscript should include an abstract, and appropriate experimental details to support the conclusions.
Articles should be no more than 6000 words and should not normally include more than six display items (tables and/or figures). Page numbers and line numbers are needed on all pages.
A manuscript describing biological studies should include a title, an abstract, an introduction, materials and methods, results, and discussion sections.
A manuscript describing chemical studies should include a title, an abstract, description (introduction + results + discussion), and experimental sections.
A manuscripts reporting newly discovered substances should include a title, an abstract, an introduction, fermentation/production, taxonomy of producers, isolation/purification, physico-chemical and biological properties, and discussion sections. A separate experimental section is preferred. All reports on newly discovered substances should show the fundamental and definitive data that support the novelty of the described substances.
