Instructions to Authors
Chemical Senses Editorial Policies During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Amongst the many significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic is the disruption of scientific research. Many investigators are being asked by their institutions to ramp down the experimental activity, minimize animal colonies, and work largely from home. It is a stressful time.
At Chemical Senses we hope to minimize that stress. We recognize that it may be more difficult to respond to reviews within the stated time allowed. If you require extra time to respond to reviews, please contact the Chemical Senses editorial office at chemse.editorialoffice@oup.com to request an extension.
Of course, these same stressors will impact editors and reviewers, as well. We will do our best to continue to provide timely review of your submitted manuscripts (in 2019, time from submission to first review averaged 32 days). However, we ask your patience if reviews or editorial decisions are delayed beyond the typical time. We will keep you informed should unusually long delays be expected for any reason.
In the days ahead we at Chemical Senses hope that you, your colleagues and your loved ones stay safe. If you have a manuscript that you think is suitable for Chemical Senses, please do submit it. We look forward to receiving a variety of manuscripts reporting studies focused on smell, taste, chemesthesis, internal chemoreception and other topics related to the chemical senses. If you have any questions about the editorial policies of the journal or the suitability of your manuscript for it, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Editor-in-Chief at ChemSensesEIC@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Steven D. Munger
Editor-in-Chief

Processes
Charges
The Editors welcome submissions to Chemical Senses which adhere to the Instructions to Authors. Manuscripts that do not meet all of the requirements below will not be considered for publication and may be returned to the authors for completion.
For support and more information please contact the Chemical Senses editorial office at chemse.editorialoffice@oup.com.
About the journal
Aims and scope
Chemical Senses publishes original research on all aspects of chemosensory biology, including taste, smell, vomeronasal, and trigeminal chemoreception in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Approaches can range from molecular to behavioral to ecological, and papers integrating multiple approaches are encouraged. Papers on the development of new methodology for investigating the chemical senses are welcomed, but should include experimental evidence that validates the new technology. Papers on clinical and applied research are also welcomed, but should have a fundamental concept in the chemical senses as their primary focus.
Ethical policies
In order to guarantee a consistent policy of review and publication, Chemical Senses endorses the Ethics Guidelines offered by the Society for Neuroscience. These guidelines describe the responsibilities and expected conduct not only of authors of scientific articles, but also of the editors and reviewers. We encourage our readers to take a few minutes to look over these guidelines.
Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication best practice. Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the authors' own work without proper citation, and misappropriation of work are all unacceptable practices. Any cases of ethical or publication malpractice are treated very seriously and will be managed in accordance with the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. Further information about OUP's ethical policies.
Plagiarism
Manuscripts submitted to Chemical Senses may be screened with iThenticate anti-plagiarism software in an attempt to detect and prevent plagiarism. Any manuscript may be screened, especially if there is reason to suppose part or all of the text has been previously published. Prior to final acceptance any manuscript that has not already been screened may be put through iThenticate. More information about iThenticate.
Consent from patients
Papers reporting experiments on patients or healthy volunteers must record the fact that the subjects' consent was obtained according to the Declaration of Helsinki. It must also be approved by the ethical committee of the institution in which the work was performed. Consent must be also recorded when photographs of patients are shown or other details are given that could lead to identification of these individuals.
Animal research
The ARRIVE guidelines must be followed when preparing manuscripts for Chemical Senses. Experiments with animals should be performed in accordance with the legal requirements of the relevant institutional and national authority and the ethics statement, as well as the name of the authorizing body, should be included in the Methods section of the paper. Procedures should be such that experimental animals do not suffer unnecessarily. The text of the paper should include experimental details of the procedure and of anaesthetics used. The journal reserves the right to reject papers where the ethical aspects are, in the Editor's opinion, open to doubt.
Disclosure
Any financial interests or connections, direct or indirect, or other situations that might raise the question of bias in the work reported or the conclusions, implications, or opinions stated—including pertinent commercial or other sources of funding for the individual author(s) or for the associated department(s) or organization(s), personal relationships, or direct academic competition—should be disclosed. For further information see the FAQ.
As an integral part of the online submission process, corresponding authors are required to confirm whether they or their co-authors have any conflicts of interest to declare, and to provide details of these. If the corresponding author is unable to confirm this information on behalf of all co-authors, the authors in question will then be required to submit a completed Conflict of Interest form to the Editorial Office. It is the corresponding author's responsibility to ensure that all authors adhere to this policy.
If there are none, please declare no conflicts of interest. If one or a few authors have a conflict to disclose, further to that statement, there should be an additional statement for those remaining authors who do not have any conflicts of interest.
Preprint Repositories
Chemical Senses will consider manuscripts that have been posted to preprint repositories as long as they use the 'preprint' version and provide the DOI. Upon acceptance authors must acknowledge that the article has been accepted for publication as follows: 'This article has been accepted for publication in Chemical Senses, published by Oxford University Press'.
Please also refer to the OUP guidelines for self-archiving for additional information on the self-archiving policy and embargo periods
Data policies
OUP's policy on data and privacy.
ORCID
Chemical Senses requires submitting authors to provide an ORCID iD at submission to the journal. More information on ORCID and the benefits of using an ORCID iD is available. If you do not already have an ORCID iD, you can register for free via the ORCID website.
Third-party permissions
In order to reproduce any third party material, including tables, figures, or images, in an article authors must obtain permission from the copyright holder and be compliant with any requirements the copyright holder may have pertaining to this reuse. When seeking to reproduce any kind of third party material authors should request the following:
non-exclusive rights to reproduce the material in the specified article and journal;
electronic rights, preferably for use in any form or medium;
the right to use the material for the life of the work; and
world-wide English-language rights.
It is particularly important to clear permission for use in the online version of the journal, and we are not able to accept permissions which carry a time limit because we retain journal articles as part of our online journal archive. Further guidelines on clearing permissions.
Evidence in writing that such permissions have been secured from the rights-holder must be made available to the editors. It is also the author's responsibility to include acknowledgements as stipulated by the particular institutions.
Self-archiving policy

Funder policies
See this page for information about compliance with funder requirements including PubMed/PMC deposits. Publishing in this journal is fully compliant with the National Institute of Health (NIH) Public Access policy. Oxford Journals automatically deposits all NIH-funded papers into PubMed Central, provided NIH is acknowledged by the author as a funding source (please refer to the information below).
Details of all funding sources for the work in question should be given in a separate section entitled 'Funding'. This should appear before the 'Acknowledgements' section.
The following rules should be followed:
The sentence should begin: ‘This work was supported by …'
The full official funding agency name should be given, i.e. ‘the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health' or simply 'National Institutes of Health' not ‘NCI' (one of the 27 sub-institutions) or 'NCI at NIH' (full RIN-approved list of UK funding agencies)
Grant numbers should be complete and accurate and provided in brackets as follows: ‘[grant number ABX CDXXXXXX]'
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by a comma as follows: ‘[grant numbers ABX CDXXXXXX, EFX GHXXXXXX]'
Agencies should be separated by a semi-colon (plus ‘and' before the last funding agency)
Where individuals need to be specified for certain sources of funding the following text should be added after the relevant agency or grant number: 'to [author initials]'.
An example is given here: ‘This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [P50 CA098252 and CA118790 to R.B.S.R.] and the Alcohol & Education Research Council [HFY GR667789].
In order to meet your funding requirements authors are required to name their funding sources, or state if there are none, during the submission process. For further information on this process or to find out more about CHORUS, visit the CHORUS initiative.
Submissions
Chemical Senses considers all manuscripts on the condition that:
the manuscript is your own original work and does not duplicate any other previously published work, including your own work.
the manuscript has been submitted only to Chemical Senses. It should not be under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or published elsewhere.
the manuscript contains nothing that is abusive, defamatory, libellous, obscene, fraudulent, or illegal.
Chemical Senses has a streamlined submission process designed to avoid unnecessary work.
At initial submission, manuscripts can be provided in any common document format that can be easily opened and read by others. A single PDF or Word file is usually reliable. At first submission, it is not necessary to apply formatting to match house style. Instead, simply ask: would I enjoy reading and reviewing a manuscript formatted in this way? Some basic guidelines are provided in the table in our ‘basic formatting guide' section.
All submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter that explains the major findings of the manuscript and why the authors want to have their work published in Chemical Senses.
At provisional acceptance stage, you will be asked to supply editable files that match journal formatting requirements, and high-resolution figures. For more information, please consult the journal's style conventions below.
All manuscripts are submitted and reviewed via the journal's web-based manuscript submission system, Scholar One. To submit to the journal go to the journal's Online Submission page. New authors should create an account prior to submitting a manuscript for consideration. Questions about submitting to the journal should be sent to the editorial office at chemse.editorialoffice@oup.com.
