Discovery!: Essays that explore seminal events and creative advances in the development of dental research are considered for the “Discovery!” section of the journal. Manuscripts submitted for “Discovery!” have a limit of 2,500 words and a total of 2 figures or tables. Manuscripts are to be submitted by invitation only.
Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine: These manuscripts should summarize information that is well known and emphasize recent developments over the last three years with a prominent focus on critical issues and concepts that add a sense of excitement to the topic being discussed. Manuscripts are to be submitted by invitation only. Authors interested in submitting to this section must contact the Editor of Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, Dr. Dana Graves, at dgraves@iadr.org for submission approval and instructions. Manuscripts submitted as Critical Reviews have a limit of 4,000 words; a total of 6 figures or tables; 60 references; and must contain a 300 word abstract.
Additional Instructions for Critical Reviews:
-It is important to include several illustrations or diagrams to enhance clarity. Manuscripts that lack figures or diagrams typically receive a low priority score.
-Summarize important concepts in tables or flow charts or show critical data in the form of figures. NOTE: authors will need to obtain permission to reproduce a previously published figure or table.
-Due to the broad readership, abbreviations commonly recognized in one field may not be readily apparent to those in a different field. Keep abbreviation use to a minimum.
-The cover page, abstract, text, summary, figure legends, and tables should be combined into a single Word document. Figures should be submitted as a separate document.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3327727/
*Brief responses to Letters to the Editor or Guest Editorials will be solicited for concurrent publication.
Clinical Reviews (formerly Concise Reviews): These manuscripts are generally systematic reviews of topics of high clinical relevance to oral, dental and craniofacial research. Meta-analyses should be considered only when sufficient numbers of studies are available. Manuscripts that include investigations of limited study quality of under- studied areas are typically not acceptable as topics for a clinical review. Although some systematic reviews may be well done, those that receive highest scientific priority will only be considered given the very limited space allowed for these reviews in the journal.
Manuscripts submitted as Clinical Reviews have a strict limit of 4,000 words (including introduction, materials, methods results, discussion and; excluding abstracts , acknowledgments, figure legends and references); a total of 6 figures or tables; up to a maximum of 60 references; and must contain a 300 word abstract. Manuscripts above the 4,000 word/6 figure or table limit may use supplemental appendices for other supporting information that would be available online only.
Additional Instructions for Clinical Reviews:
-It is important to include illustrations or diagrams to enhance clarity. Manuscripts that lack figures or diagrams typically receive a low priority score.
-Summarize important concepts in tables or flow charts or show critical data in the form of figures. NOTE: authors will need to obtain permission to reproduce a previously published figure or table.
-Due to the broad readership, abbreviations commonly recognized in one field may not be readily apparent to those in a different field. Keep abbreviation use to a minimum.
-The cover page, abstract, text, summary, figure legends, and table(s) should be combined into a single Word document. Figures should be submitted as a separate document.
-To view examples of recent Clinical Reviews in the Journal, please click the following links: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5613886/ or https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5004242/
All submissions must include a title page and be accompanied by a cover letter and list of suggested reviewers. Cover letters should certify the research is original, not under publication consideration elsewhere, and free of conflict of interest. Title pages should include: abstract word count, total word count (Abstract to Acknowledgments), total number of tables/figures, number of references, and a minimum of 6 keywords. Keywords cannot be words that have been included in the manuscript title. Key words should be selected from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to be used for indexing of articles. See: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html for information on the selection of key words.
Please submit the names and email addresses of four preferred reviewers when prompted by the SAGETrack system. Preferred reviewers cannot be colleagues at the contributors’ institution or present or former collaborators.
TITLES
Titles can consist of a maximum of 75 characters (including spaces). Titles do not normally include numbers, acronyms, abbreviations or punctuation. The title should include sufficient detail for indexing purposes but be general enough for readers outside the field to appreciate what the paper is about.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Authors are required to report all sources of support for their project or study, including but not limited to: grant funds, commercial sources, funds from a contributors’ institution. Do not refer to a study being “partially funded by the cited sources.” Consultancies and funds paid directly to investigators must also be listed. Authors are required to specify during the submission process if their paper received funding from NIH, NIDCR, or any other NIH Institute or Center and provide the grant number. To comply with the NIH Public Access Mandate, for qualifying NIH- funded papers, the Journal of Dental Research will deposit the final, copyedited paper to PubMed Central on behalf of the authors.
Any perceived or actual conflicts of interest need to be identified in the acknowledgments section. The JDR abides by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors guidelines for the Ethical Considerations in the Conduct and Report of Research (http://www.icmje.org). Authors are requested to include this information in the acknowledgments section and the corresponding author must confirm that all co-authors have reported any potential conflicts.
Authors are required to provide a written statement of author contributions as part of your Acknowledgements. Include as many authors as you have, note their completed roles, and conclude with the following statement. “All authors gave their final approval and agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work.”
For example:
Author contributions
Author 1: Contributed to conception, design, data acquisition and interpretation, drafted and critically revised the manuscript
Author 2: Contributed to conception, design, data acquisition and interpretation, performed all statistical analyses, drafted and critically revised the manuscript
Author 3: Contributed to conception, design, and critically revised the manuscript
FIGURE AND TABLE REQUIREMENTS
These guidelines are intended to aid authors in providing figures that will reproduce well in both print and online media. Submitting digital image files that conform to these guidelines will prevent delays in the review and publication processes, and maximize the published quality of your figures.
Figure Types
JDR figures can fall into one of three categories: Continuous-tone images, Line-art images, and Combination images. Each image type has specific requirements in terms of the resolution needed for publication and the file types best suited for the figure. See the following panels for examples and requirements.
Resolution
In order for a figure to be used in publication, its Digital Image File must have the required resolution when it is created. The resolution cannot be raised after the original image is made. Attempting to do so (for example, with Adobe Photoshop’s© “Image Size” command) results in the addition of artificial pixels that distort the image and lower its sharpness. The figures on the right show an example of this reduced sharpness.
Image Integrity Guidelines
The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations note that scientific misconduct includes deceptive manipulation of images. Figures submitted to the Journal of Dental Research should be minimally processed and should reflect the integrity of the original data in the image(s). Adjustments to images in brightness, contrast, or color balance should be applied equally to the entire image, provided they do not distort any data in the figure, including the background. Selective adjustments and touch-up tools used on portions of a figure are not appropriate. Images should not be layered or combined into a single image unless it is stated that the figure is a product of time-averaged data. In the case of gel images, the grouping of lanes from different gels, fields or exposures must be made explicit by the arrangement of the figure (e.g. by the use of the dividing lines). All adjustments to image data, including the grouping of lanes from gels, should be clearly disclosed in the figure legend. Images may be additionally screened to confirm faithfulness to the original data. If original data cannot be provided by an author when requested, acceptance of the manuscript may be revoked. Authors are expected to supply raw image data upon request. Authors should also list tools and software used to collect image data and should document settings and manipulations in the Methods section.
These guidelines were derived from those provided by the Journal of Cell Biology and Nature: http://jcb.rupress.org/editorial-policies#data-integrity https://www.nature.com/authors/policies/image.html
Experimental controls
Appropriate controls should be provided for all experimental methods. For example, negative controls are needed for immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), i.e. control primary antibody or antibody plus excess antigen, which can be added as supplemental data. In addition, arrows should identify representative immunopositive cells that are clearly distinguished from background staining in IF and IHC images.
Fonts
Limit fonts used in any figure to Times, Times New Roman, Arial, Frutiger, and Sabon. Other fonts cannot be guaranteed to reproduce properly.
Files containing figures and tables should be clearly labeled to indicate their placement in the text or appendix. Tables should be viewable in a portrait view. Tables that are created in a landscape view are more suitable for an appendix.
If the online version is in color and the printed version in black and white, please submit separate files for each version. Figures should be identical except in color or grayscale. The cost of color figures in the print version will be borne by the authors. Rates for color reproduction are
$300 per initial page of color and $150 for each additional page of color. However, there are no charges for figures and diagrams printed in black and white. Color figures many be included in the online version of JDR with no extra charges.
REFERENCES
The Journal of Dental Research (JDR) adheres to the CSE (8th Edition) editorial style. All submitted manuscripts should be formatted in this style: http://www.scientificstyleandformat.org/Tools/SSF-Citation-Quick-Guide.html.
SUPPLEMENTAL FILES
Additional supporting data may be referenced as a supplemental appendix for publication online only. All supplemental appendix files must be submitted with the manuscript for review. Supplementary files will be subjected to peer-review alongside the article.
Supplementary files will be uploaded as supplied. They will not be checked for accuracy, copyedited, typeset or proofread. The responsibility for scientific accuracy and file functionality remains with the authors. A disclaimer will be displayed to this effect with any supplementary material published. Supplemental files may include additional figures or tables that exceed the Journal’s limit. Material intended for the supplemental appendix must have “supplemental” or “appendix” in the file name upon upload. When formatting your supplemental files, please follow these instructions:
• Authors should provide a single Word file with all Appendix content. Figures and tables should be included in the main Appendix file so they can appear immediately alongside their captions. High resolution figures may also be supplied separately if authors wish, but they also must be copied into the Word file so everything can be kept together.
• Be sure to run spell check and proofread the text.
• Remove all highlighting/other colors. Use one font throughout.
• The Appendix should include the title of the article and all authors. Page numbers are recommended.
• Figures and Tables should be labeled Appendix Figure/Table 1, Appendix Figure/Table 2, etc. Avoid labeling as S1, S2, and so forth.
• All table footnotes and figure legends should be included.
• Preferably, authors shouldn’t label separate parts as “Appendix 1”, “Appendix 2”, etc.; just use section heads as in a regular article.
Language Editing: Manuscripts submitted for publication consideration should be written in English. Prior to submission, if a manuscript would benefit from professional editing, authors may consider using a language-editing service. Suggestions for this type of service can be found at www.iadr.org/EditingServices. The Journal of Dental Research does not take responsibility for, or endorse these services, and their use has no bearing on acceptance of a manuscript for publication.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS SUBMITTING A MANUSCRIPT PRIOR PUBLICATION
Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Dental Research are accepted for consideration giving the understanding that it contains original material that has not been submitted for publication or has been previously published elsewhere. Any form of publication other than an abstract only constitutes prior publication.
Manuscripts posted or submitted to a non-commercial preprint server are not considered previously published. Submitting authors will be required to disclose if the manuscript has been posted or submitted to a non-commercial preprint server.

FUNDING COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Effective April 7, 2008 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revised Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived Publications Resulting from NIH-Funded Research (Public Access Policy) requires all studies funded by NIH to submit or have submitted for them their final peer- reviewed manuscript upon acceptance for publication to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central (PMC) to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication. Only final, copyedited manuscripts are uploaded.
Manuscripts by authors whose work is funded by the Wellcome Trust may submit their final peer-reviewed manuscript upon acceptance for publication to Europe PMC to be made publicly available no later than 6 months after the official date of publication. Only final, copyedited manuscripts are uploaded.
Authors are required to specify during the submission process if their paper received funding from NIH, NIDCR, or the Wellcome Trust and provide the grant number.
The Journal of Dental Research will deposit final, copyedited papers to PubMed Central on behalf of the authors.
DEFINITION OF CONTRIBUTORSHIP IN JDR
As stated in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, put forth by the ICMJE, the Journal considers the following as an accurate definition of contributorship:
Contributors Listed in Acknowledgments
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgments section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chairperson who provided only general support. Editors should ask corresponding authors to declare whether they had assistance with study design, data collection, data analysis, or manuscript preparation.
If such assistance was available, the authors should disclose the identity of the individuals who provided this assistance and the entity that supported it in the published article. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
Groups of persons who have contributed materially to the paper but whose contributions do not justify authorship may be listed under such headings as “clinical investigators” or “participating investigators,” and their function or contribution should be described—for example, “served as scientific advisors,” “critically reviewed the study proposal,” “collected data,” or “provided and cared for study patients.” Because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions, these persons must give written permission to be acknowledged.
CONTRIBUTOR FORMS
All rights to manuscripts will be transferred to the Journal of Dental Research upon submission. Submission of a manuscript will constitute each author’s agreement that the Journal holds all propriety rights in the manuscript submitted, including all copyrights. Upon acceptance, the corresponding author will be asked to sign a formal transfer of copyright. Only the corresponding author is required to complete a contributor form unless any co-authors are work-for-hire or government employees. If co-authors fall into either of these categories, the corresponding author should contact the editorial office at jdr@iadr.org for additional instruction.
Please note that the Journal of Dental Research secures completed contributor forms electronically via the SAGETrack online submission and review system.
Without the completion of the contributor form for all co-authors listed, accepted manuscripts cannot continue into production, delaying publication.
CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PUBLICATION
Page Charges
There is a charge of $40 (U.S.) for every printed page in the Journal of Dental Research. You will receive an invoice with your page proofs.
Color Figure Charges
The cost of color figures in the print version will be borne by the authors. Rates for color reproduction are $300 per initial page of color and $150 for each additional page of color. However, there are no charges for figures and diagrams printed in black and white. Color figures many be included in the online version of JDR with no extra charges.
Reprint Charges
Reprints can be ordered for material printed in the Journal of Dental Research and online only appendices. Quantities of reprints can be purchased with the reprint order form sent with page proofs to the contributors. Pre-payment is required for reprints. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and check are all acceptable forms of payment. Authors must pay for color figures in reprints. Reprints will be mailed from 6 to 8 weeks after the article appears in the Journal. To contact SAGE for additional information or to order reprints, visit the SAGE site at SAGE Publishing Reprints.
