Instructions to Authors
Editor’s Update:
The pandemic of COVID-19 infections due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is causing substantial disruptions to daily life around the world. We at Medical Mycology are no exception to these disruptions. Many of our editors and reviewers are clinicians, clinical laboratorians, and associated healthcare workers. They are deeply committed to fighting this disease by their caring for patients, their involvement in task forces and in guiding decisions related to public health and welfare. Thus, their priorities and the demands on their time have changed. For the duration of this pandemic we ask that authors be patient in waiting for reviews and decisions on manuscripts to be returned to them as in some instances there will be delays. Similarly, we understand that you as authors may be unable to meet deadlines for returning revised manuscripts and will readily extend the deadlines to accommodate your needs.
We wish a speedy end to this pandemic and speedy recovery to all individuals with this serious disease.
Sharon Chen, PhD
Editor in Chief
Medical Mycology
Journal Policies
Publication ethics
Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out by the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) . Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, and misappropriation of the work are all unacceptable practices. Any cases of ethical misconduct are treated very seriously and will be dealt with in accordance with the COPE guidelines.
Required Statements
Humans in Research
When reporting investigations involving human subjects, authors must indicate in the Methods section of their manuscript if the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation within their institutions and/or with the Helsinki Declaration (1964, amended most recently in 2013) of the World Medical Association. Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol approval numbers are to be included in the statement.
Animals in Research
Manuscripts containing information related to the experimental use of animals must clearly state that the studies complied with relevant professional and institutional animal welfare policies. Specifically, that procedures involving animals conformed to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals from of the Institute of Laboratory Animal Research, Commission on Life Sciences, National Research Council. Institution Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocol approval numbers are to be included in the statements.
Authorship Contributions
In submitting to Medical Mycology, the corresponding author confirms that all authors have (a) made a substantial contribution to the conception and design, acquisition of data, and/or analysis and interpretation of data, (b) participated in the drafting of the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, (c) have read and approved the final manuscript, AND (d) that the manuscript is not, either in whole or in part, currently under consideration by any other scientific journal and has not been previously published in either hard copy or electronic format. Submissions must be accompanied by the Authorship Form.
Except for those submitting the manuscript, members of Study Groups should not be individually cited as authors.
Manuscripts drafted or written, in whole or part, by individuals other than those indicated as authors will NOT be considered for publication unless the contributions of these individuals are clearly and accurately presented in the Acknowledgment section of the paper.
Acknowledgements
The work of other individuals who assisted in the studies or in the preparation of the submission must be specifically indicated in the Acknowledgment section of the paper. All sources of grant funding must be given, including grant numbers.
Disclosures of Potential Conflicts of Interest
Information about potential or perceived conflicts of interest must be clearly stated at the time of manuscript submission, so this information may be made available to the Editors and reviewers. Relevant conflicts will be published with the manuscript; the intent of this policy is not to prevent authors with these relationships from publishing work, but rather to adopt transparency such that readers can make objective judgments on conclusions drawn. . If no such conflict exists, simply state ‘None.’
If any co-authors have received funding that meets the criteria described in the paragraph above, the source(s) of the funds must be declared. Furthermore, authors must indicate their employment if describing their or other companies’ products. For more information, see Conflicts of interest.
Manuscript Preparation
Maximize the impact of your research by reviewing the Author Resource Guide and OUP's SEO made simple page.
Submission
All submissions must be uploaded as Word files to the Medical Mycology ScholarOne Manuscripts site. Users who have not previously submitted work through this site must create an account from the link on the login page. Assistance with this and all other areas of the site is available in the User Guide, which is accessed via the ‘Get Help Now’ button at the top right corner of all ScholarOne Manuscripts web pages. For additional help, please contact mm.editorialoffice@jjeditorial.com.
Permissions
Prior to manuscript submission, authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from the copyright holders to reuse any text, tables, and/or figures – either in whole or in part – that have been previously published. Authors are also responsible for paying any associated permissions fees. Although the journal does not consider authors’ own dissertations, conference abstracts, or preprints as prior publications, written permission is still required and any prior sources should be acknowledged in the manuscript itself. More information, including about rights retaining following article publication, is available on the our rights and permissions page.
How to contact the editorial office
The Editorial Office can be contacted at the following email address: mm.editorialoffice@jjeditorial.com
Article types
Papers may be submitted in the following categories.
Original Papers
For this article type, manuscripts must have:
a. a Cover Page that includes the full title and a short title, name(s) and affiliation(s)—including countries—of all author(s), the name, telephone number and email address of the designated corresponding author, and a list of up to 5 keywords;
b. a separate page for an Abstract of up to 250 words prepared without sub-headers;
c. manuscript text consisting of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and References;
d. References must be cited sequentially in the order in which they first appear in the text, in superscript numerals, and included in the same numerical order in the Reference section;
e. each Table should be submitted as a separate page and should have footnoted descriptions of all abbreviations contained in the Table (see section below on Tables for more detailed information);
f. each Figure should be submitted as a separate file (page), with appropriate figure legends allowing a reader to understand their contents without reference to the text (see section below on Figures for more detailed information).
In addition to the requirements detailed under ‘Manuscript Preparation’ below, these manuscripts are limited to 5000 words excluding the cover page, abstract, references, and tables/figures.
Reviews
For this article type, authors must first submit an outline of their proposed article for evaluation to Reviews Editor Malcolm Richardson at Malcolm.Richardson@manchester.ac.uk. The outline should be no more than 2 double-spaced pages in 12-point font, and the authors should describe the objectives and contents of the report. Once the proposal has been evaluated, the authors will be informed of the results of the Review Editor’s initial consideration of their proposal. Reviews are NOT restricted by the formatting or length requirements of Original Papers.
Brief Reports
These concisely written manuscripts are to provide an opportunity for the presentation of innovative well-defined studies that do not warrant a full-length original paper. These manuscripts are not for the publication of preliminary data.
In addition to the requirements detailed under ‘Manuscript Preparation’ below, the manuscript style for this article type is as follows:
Cover page with title, authors, affiliations, corresponding author and 5 key words.
An abstract of no more than 100 words.
The text should be no more than 1200 words with no headers or subheadings included, but must contain a brief introduction, methods, results and conclusions.
Limit references to those that are absolutely necessary and no more than 20 references.
No more than 2 tables or figures are allowed (i.e., 2 figures, 2 tables, or 1 figure and 1 table).
NOTE: Medical Mycology no longer publishes Case Reports; such articles should be submitted to ISHAM’s other journal, Medical Mycology Case Reports. In addition, Letters to the Editor are no longer published in Medical Mycology.
Manuscript format and structure
Please refer to a recent issue of Medical Mycology for guidance on style and layout of articles. Also refer to the Article Types section above for guidance on relevant information for each article type.
Language Editing
Language editing, especially if your first language is not English, to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by journal editors and reviewers is optional. Language editing does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication. Further information on this service is available on the language services page. Several specialist language editing companies offer similar services and any of them can be used. Authors are liable for all costs associated with such services.
File Formats
All manuscripts must be submitted as Microsoft Word documents (.doc,.docx, .rtf, .pdf files).
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscripts MUST be in English, double-spaced, in 12-point font, organized as appropriate for the manuscript type per above, have line numbering enabled and lines numbered consecutively, and have 1-inch margins all around.
Statistics and measurements should be given in numerals when followed by a unit, e.g., mg, ml, etc. In contrast, numerals employed in other circumstance, e.g., two patients, should be spelled out if less than ten (10).
ALL abbreviations, even those commonly used in medical mycology, e.g., Sabouraud glucose agar (SGA), must be defined when first used in the abstract and text.
ORCID
Medical Mycology requires corresponding authors to provide an ORCID iD with submission of a manuscript 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.
Lay Summary
Authors of all article types are required to submit a lay summary as part of the article, in addition to the main text abstract. The lay summary should clearly summarize the focus and findings of the article for non-expert readers and will be published as part of the article. The lay summary should be submitted for peer review as part of the main manuscript file, under the heading ‘Lay summary,’ before the article’s main text. The lay summary should be no longer than 300 characters. As with a main abstract, avoid citations and define any abbreviations.
References
Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references and for correct text citation. In preparing your citations please follow the AMA Manual of Style, 11th Edition.
Tables
Tables should present only essential data, must be numbered sequentially in the order in which they are first referenced in the text, and all MUST be referred to in the text. Each table should be supplied as a separate page at the end of the main document and not imbedded within the body of the text. The table header should be brief and self-explanatory.
Column headings should be brief and include units in parentheses where applicable. Only horizontal rule lines should be used and then only for headers and footers. If a table contains names of genera and species or microorganisms, these must be spelled out in full, e.g., Candida albicans , not C. albicans. Tables should be considered as “stand alone” documents through which data are summarized for presentation to readers; as such, all abbreviations employed in the tables MUST be defined footnotes included directly below the tables.
Figures/Images
Images should be submitted as TIF or EPS files. Images should be of sufficient resolution, i.e. a minimum of 300 dpi for halftones/color, 600 dpi for combination halftones, and 1200 dpi for line art. Illustrations should be submitted as individual files, separate from the manuscript text file. An image that will be column-width should be 3.25 inches (8.13 cm) wide and an image that will be the full width of the page should be 6.75 inches (16.88 cm) wide.
Authors may employ, as warranted, arrows or similar indications. Otherwise NO part of any image may be enhanced, removed, relocated, introduced or manipulated in any manner after the capture of the original image unless the authors provide the editor with a clear and accurate description of the nature of the image manipulation.
Figures should be considered as “stand alone” components of the manuscript; as such, authors by should provide legends at the end of the text, following the Reference section, which clearly describe the significant features of the illustrated objects.
