JOURNAL OF PAIN
Your Paper Your Way
We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article.
To find out more, please visit the Preparation section below.
General Information
The Journal of Pain publishes original articles related to all aspects of pain and pain management and welcomes submissions from clinical and basic researchers, medical specialists, psychologists, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, and workers in related fields. The Journal of Pain is interdisciplinary in focus and committed to advancing knowledge about pain mechanisms and pain management. The Journal will publish reports of original clinical research, reports of original basic research, Focus Articles, Reviews, and Letters to the Editor. Manuscripts considered to provide particularly innovative or groundbreaking findings may be designated for fast-track handling by the editorial board, and such articles may be published on an expedited basis. Fast-track determination will be made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the editorial board. Authors may request consideration of fast-track designation but must provide rationale for this in their cover letter. The editor may also select some manuscripts for triage handling. Authors will receive prompt notification in such cases.
Authorship Requirements
The Journal will not consider manuscripts that are prepared by professional research or writing companies on behalf of—and funded by—pharmaceutical companies. Preparation of drafts of manuscripts by an employee of the study sponsor or by anyone else who is not listed as an author is expressly prohibited.
All listed authors must make substantial contributions to conception, design, acquisition, and analysis of data; drafting and revising of the article; and approval of the article as written and responsibility for the content and completeness. No author may be added after review of the original submission.
Approval of all authors must be granted to the final draft for publication.
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with The Journal of Pain and for determining the list of authors. This individual takes assumes responsibility for listing co-investigators who do not qualify for authorship (in the Acknowledgments section), if necessary. Guest or titular authorship based on assignment—such as department chair—is prohibited.
All authors must sign and submit the Mandatory Submission Form, to be uploaded at the end of new or revised submissions. Authors of accepted manuscripts will also be required to submit a signed Copyright Agreement to Elsevier after accepted manuscripts are received by the publisher.
Special Features
Reviews
Reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses) offer a systematic summary of a topic and includes pertinent literature to answer a specific question or set of questions. These are not intended for the presentation of unpublished data. Systematic (literature) reviews analyze existing literature in a field; meta-analyses examine similar studies to combine data from multiple studies. Both types of review articles require prospective registration with PROSPERO (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/) in order to be considered for publication.
Other reviews (e.g., scoping review, mapping reviews) might be considered for publication, if they provide an important new way of understanding a complex body of research literature that does not or cannot lend itself to a more focused Review. Currently PROSPERO does not allow authors to pre-register scoping or mapping reviews, so pre-registration of these reviews is not required for consideration for publication in The Journal of Pain.
Focus Articles
A Focus Article may present a hypothesis or state a position on a basic scientific or clinical topic related to pain. The position may be provocative, but must be based on scientific evidence. Such articles may outline key concepts and may identify future research needs.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor commenting on published items are encouraged. Letters should be limited to 500 words or less, though lengthier pieces may be approved by the Editor. The published item to which the letter refers must be cited in the References section; authors should refer to The Journal's instructions for proper citation formatting. The letter will be shared with the author(s) of the original article, who will have the chance to respond. All letters are subject to editorial review. Upon submission, letters must include author affiliations and must include a Disclosures section that notes any conflicts of interest; if no conflicts are present, this should be explicitly stated.
