Guide for Authors
The Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy (JIC) — official journal of the Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases — welcomes original papers, laboratory or clinical, as well as case reports, notes, committee reports, surveillance and guidelines from all parts of the world on all aspects of chemotherapy, covering the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, including treatment with anticancer drugs. Experimental studies on animal models and pharmacokinetics, and reports on epidemiology and clinical trials are particularly welcome.
Types of article
Original article
Original articles should be concise, not exceeding 3000 words, set out as follows, with each section beginning on a separate page: Title page, abstract, text, references, tables, legends to figures and illustrations. The text is to be arranged as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) Materials and Methods or Patients and Methods; (3) Results; and (4) Discussion.
Word limitation: 3000 words from Introduction to Discussion not including Acknowledgement and COI description.
Papers giving minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of drugs without supporting clinical observations should be submitted as Notes.
Review article
Review articles are in principle solicited by the Editorial Committee.
Editorial
Editorials are considered for publication by invitation.
Case report
Case reports should be relevant to medical practice in the fields of infection and chemotherapy and are to be presented as concisely as possible. References should be kept to an absolute minimum. In Case reports, the arrangement of the text should be as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) Case Report; and (3) Discussion.
Note
Notes should be concise with an abstract, up to 15 references, and up to three tables and/or figures. Do not use section headings in the body of the article.
World limitation: 1800 words not including Title page, Abstract, Acknowledgement, COI description, and References.
Letter to the Editor
Questions or comments concerning recently published papers should be sent to the Editor, who will refer them to the authors. The questions and authors' replies may subsequently be published together.
Committee report
Committee reports from any organization concerned with medical practice or research in the fields of infection and chemotherapy will be considered for publication.
Surveillance
Surveillance articles should focus on epidemiological trends regarding a specific disease or a group of diseases with data from a regional, national or international surveillance system, but could also be an analysis of a surveillance system or a description of a new surveillance system. Longer reports on regional, national or international outbreaks should be submitted once the outbreak has been fully investigated and focus on new and unexpected aspects and on lessons learned. The length of these articles is usually 3,500 words, with up to 30 references and six illustrations (graphs or tables).

Ethics in publishing
Please see our information on Ethics in publishing.
Studies in humans and animals
Authors should ensure that the protocol for the research project has been approved by a suitably constituted Ethics Committee of the institution within which the work was undertaken and that it conforms to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki (The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association) for experiments involving humans. In principal, all informed consent should be obtained from the subject(s) and/or guardian(s). The manuscript should be in line with the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals and aim for the inclusion of representative human populations (sex, age and ethnicity) as per those recommendations. The terms sex and gender should be used correctly.
Informed consent and patient details
Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in the paper. Appropriate consents, permissions and releases must be obtained where an author wishes to include case details or other personal information or images of patients and any other individuals in an Elsevier publication. Written consents must be retained by the author but copies should not be provided to the journal. Only if specifically requested by the journal in exceptional circumstances (for example if a legal issue arises) the author must provide copies of the consents or evidence that such consents have been obtained. For more information, please review the Elsevier Policy on the Use of Images or Personal Information of Patients or other Individuals. Unless you have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of the article and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission.
Declaration of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double anonymized) or the manuscript file (if single anonymized). If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
In case of doubt, the principle investigator and companies involved with the research must be held accountable.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Use of inclusive language
Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition; and use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture and/or cultural assumptions. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using plural nouns ("clinicians, patients/clients") as default/wherever possible to avoid using "he, she," or "he/she." We recommend avoiding the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition unless they are relevant and valid. These guidelines are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language but are by no means exhaustive or definitive.
Authorship
All authors should have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (1) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, (3) final approval of the version to be submitted.
The statement that all authors meet the above ICMJE authorship criteria must be included on the title page.
In accordance with ICMJE recommendations, individuals who provided help, but do not meet the authorship requirement (e.g., medical writer or statistical analysts) must be mentioned in the Acknowledgements section.
(Example: Contributor A was responsible for the organization and coordination of the trial. B was the chief investigator and responsible for the data analysis. A, B, C, D and E developed the trial design. All authors contributed to the writing of the final manuscript. All members of the xxx Study Team contributed to the management or administration of the trial.)
Changes to authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
Clinical trial results
In line with the position of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, the journal will not consider results posted in the same clinical trials registry in which primary registration resides to be prior publication if the results posted are presented in the form of a brief structured (less than 500 words) abstract or table. However, divulging results in other circumstances (e.g., investors' meetings) is discouraged and may jeopardise consideration of the manuscript. Authors should fully disclose all posting in registries of results of the same or closely related work.
Reporting clinical trials
Randomized controlled trials should be presented according to the CONSORT guidelines. At manuscript submission, authors must provide the CONSORT checklist accompanied by a flow diagram that illustrates the progress of patients through the trial, including recruitment, enrollment, randomization, withdrawal and completion, and a detailed description of the randomization procedure. The CONSORT checklist and template flow diagram are available online.
Registration of clinical trials
Registration in a public trials registry is a condition for publication of clinical trials in this journal in accordance with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors recommendations. Trials must register at or before the onset of patient enrolment. The clinical trial registration number should be included at the end of the abstract of the article. A clinical trial is defined as any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects of health outcomes. Health-related interventions include any intervention used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome (for example drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioural treatments, dietary interventions, and process-of-care changes). Health outcomes include any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants, including pharmacokinetic measures and adverse events. Purely observational studies (those in which the assignment of the medical intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator) will not require registration.
The journal accepts registration in the following registries:
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ (Clinical Trials)
http://www.anzctr.org.au/ (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry)
http://isrctn.org (ISRCTN Register)
http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp (Netherlands Trial Register)
http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr (UMIN Clinical Trials Registry)
