Editorial

The editors will solicit all editorials. Instructions pertaining to the writing of an editorial will be included with the request from the editorial office. Please do not submit unsolicited editorials.

All manuscripts must be submitted electronically to: https://www.editorialmanager.com/jjcc/default.aspx.

Before proceeding to the online submission site, please prepare your manuscript according to the instructions below.

Use of word processing software

It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier). Note that source files of figures, tables and text graphics will be required whether or not you embed your figures in the text. See also the section on Electronic artwork.

To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of your word processor.

SUBMISSION FILES

All submissions should be prepared with the following files:

Authorship Agreement and Statement of Conflicts of Interest: Every author listed in the manuscript must read and sign the Authorship Agreement and Statement of Conflicts of Interest form.

A short paragraph telling the editors why the authors think their paper merits publication priority may be included in the cover letter. Potential reviewers may be suggested in the cover letter, as well as reviewers to avoid.

Highlights must be submitted in a separate editable file in the online submission system. Please use 'Highlights' in the file name and include 3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet point). You can view example Highlights on our information site.

MANUSCRIPT CONTENT

The order in which these items appear should also be the order in which they appear in your submission.

Title page

The title page (page 1) should contain these elements:

Article Type

Full title of the article (within 25 words)

Every authors' full and complete names, academic degrees, and affiliations

Corresponding author's Full name, postal address, e-mail, telephone and fax numbers

Up to 3-6 keywords or phrases suitable for use in an index.

Word count - excluding title page, Abstract, References, Figure legends, and tables.

Abstract

Provide a structured abstract of no more than 300 words, presenting essential data in 4 paragraphs introduced by separate headings in the following order :

Background - rationale for study

Methods - brief presentation of methods

Results - brief presentation of significant results

Conclusions - succinct statement of study or/and data interpretation

A nonstructured abstract is appropriate for review articles.

Text's structure

Typical main body headings include Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Create a structured disclosures section at the end of the manuscript with the headings Acknowledgments, Funding, and Disclosures.

Introduction

Clearly and briefly describe the background and the rational objective of the study, with a review of earlier publications. It is recommended that the previous studies described only be the most relevant. Avoid exhaustive review of the literature.

Materials and Methods

Clearly describe the subjects and sample size, the experimental procedures and apparatus (manufacturer's name and address) used in the study. In the case of experiments on human or animal subjects, give an account that the methods were regarded as ethically sound. In the event of an original design, the details should be provided. Otherwise, references accompanied by sufficient information for interdisciplinary evaluation will suffice. The type of statistical analysis used must be stated in this section as well as the commercial software. Do not include discussion in this section. Demonstrate precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic names, doses, and routes of administration.

Results

Present the essential results in the text in a clear and concise manner. Use tables and figures to compare and contrast the findings. Do not repeat in the text all the detailed data in the tables or figures. Do not include discussion in this section. In describing the statistical analysis, please define the probability values and prove that the differences reported were found to be statistically significant.

Discussion

This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Conclusions

The main conclusions of the study may be presented separately as a short Conclusions section, or as a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section. The progress with respect to the available research and the critical elements of the proposed investigation should also be discussed.
