Instruction for Authors

【官网信息】

The Editorial Process

A

manuscript will be reviewed for possible publication with the

understanding that it is being submitted to Asian Pacific Journal of

Tropical Medicine alone at that point in time and has not been published

anywhere, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication

elsewhere. The journal expects that authors would authorize one of them

to correspond with the Journal for all matters related to the

manuscript. All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged. On

submission, editors review all submitted manuscripts initially for

suitability for formal review. Manuscripts with insufficient

originality, serious scientific or technical flaws, or lack of a

significant message are rejected before proceeding for formal

peer-review. Manuscripts that are unlikely to be of interest to the

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine readers are also liable to be

rejected at this stage itself.

Manuscripts

that are found suitable for publication in Asian Pacific Journal of

Tropical Medicine are sent to two or more expert reviewers. During

submission, the contributor is requested to provide names of two or

three qualified reviewers who have had experience in the subject of the

submitted manuscript, but this is not mandatory. The reviewers should

not be affiliated with the same institutes as the contributor/s.

However, the selection of these reviewers is at the sole discretion of

the editor. The journal follows a double-blind review process, wherein

the reviewers and authors are unaware of each other's identity. Every

manuscript is also assigned to a member of the editorial team, who based

on the comments from the reviewers takes a final decision on the

manuscript. The comments and suggestions (acceptance/ rejection/

amendments in manuscript) received from reviewers are conveyed to the

corresponding author. If required, the author is requested to provide a

point by point response to reviewers' comments and submit a revised

version of the manuscript. This process is repeated till reviewers and

editors are satisfied with the manuscript.

Asian

Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine encourages submissions from all

qualified authors, including its principal editors, associate editors

and editors-in-chief. In order to avoid situations of real or perceived

conflicts of interest, it is the goal of the journal to conduct the

review of papers authored by editors using the same high ethical

standards that are used for the review of all APJTM submissions.’ after

‘Manuscripts received from Editorial Board members will be screened by

the Editors-in-Chief and sent to external peer reviewers. The editorial

board members who are authors will be excluded from publication

decisions. Editors-in-Chief are not involved in decisions about papers

which they have written themselves.

Manuscripts

accepted for publication are copyedited for grammar, punctuation, print

style, and format. Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author.

The corresponding author is expected to return the corrected proofs

within three days. It may not be possible to incorporate corrections

received after that period. The whole process of submission of the

manuscript to final decision and sending and receiving proofs is

completed online. To achieve faster and greater dissemination of

knowledge and information, the journal publishes articles online as

'Ahead of Print' immediately on acceptance.

Generative AI Policy

Authors

who use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies (AI tools) in the

writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of

the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be

transparent in disclosing in the manuscript which AI tool was used and

how it was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their

submitted manuscript, including any parts produced by an AI tool, and

are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics. The specific AI

tool used, and its purpose should be described in the Methods or

Acknowledgments section. For further guidance, please refer to the

Ethical Best Practices in Scholarly Publishing for Lippincott's policy

on generative AI use for authors and journals.

Clinical trial registry

Asian

Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine favors registration of clinical

trials and is a signatory to the Statement on publishing clinical trials

in Indian biomedical journals. Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical

Medicine would publish clinical trials that have been registered with a

clinical trial registry that allows free online access to public.

Registration in the following trial registers is acceptable:

https://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php;

http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/; http://isrctn.org/; and

http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr. This is applicable to clinical trials that have begun enrollment of subjects in or after June 2008. Clinical trials

that have commenced enrollment of subjects prior to June 2008 would be

considered for publication in Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine

only if they have been registered retrospectively with clinical trial

registry that allows unhindered online access to public without charging

any fees.

Authorship Criteria

Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to each of the three components mentioned below:

1.      Concept and design of study or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data;

2.      Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and

3.      Final approval of the version to be published.

Participation

solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not

justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not

sufficient for authorship. Each contributor should have participated

sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate

portions of the content of the manuscript. The order of naming the

contributors should be based on the relative contribution of the

contributor towards the study and writing the manuscript. Once submitted

the order cannot be changed without written consent of all the

contributors. The journal prescribes a maximum number of authors for

manuscripts depending upon the type of manuscript, its scope and number

of institutions involved (vide infra). The authors should provide a

justification, if the number of authors exceeds these limits.

Contribution Details

Contributors

should provide a narrative description of contributions made by each of

them towards the manuscript. Description should be divided in following

categories, as applicable: concept, design, definition of intellectual

content, literature search, clinical studies, experimental studies, data

acquisition, data analysis, statistical analysis, manuscript

preparation, manuscript editing and manuscript review. One or more

author should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a

whole from inception to published article and should be designated as

'guarantor'.

See below for more details:

The section should be titled “Authors' Contributions"

In the Word doc., it appears after the Acknowledgments section and before References

If

more than one author has the same initials, the initials are styled as

first initials-space-last name: eg, Brian George Miller → BG Miller

In an author's name includes “Jr" or “Sr," the initials are styled as initials-space-suffix: eg, Brian George Miller Jr → BGM Jr

Kindly

note that sentences such as "All authors contributed equally to this

manuscript" do NOT belong in this section (nor does it belong in the

Acknowledgments). Delete any such statements.

For examples:

A.B.

developed the theoretical formalism, performed the analytic

calculations and performed the numerical simulations. Both A.B and B.C.

authors contributed to the final version of the manuscript. B.C.

supervised the project.

Conflicts of Interest/ Competing Interests

All

authors of must disclose any and all conflicts of interest they may

have with publication of the manuscript or an institution or product

that is mentioned in the manuscript and/or is important to the outcome

of the study presented. Authors should also disclose conflict of

interest with products that compete with those mentioned in their

manuscript.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing

Asian

Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine accepts authors using generative

artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the readability of their own

writing. Authors who use AI in the scientific writing process must

disclose whether they used AI or AI-assisted technologies (such as Large

Language Models [LLMs], chatbots, or image creators) in the production

of their manuscript. A statement will appear in the published work.

Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for

the integrity of their work.

Authors

who use such technology should describe, in both the cover letter and

the submitted work in the appropriate section, if applicable, how they

used it. For example, if AI was used for writing assistance, describe

this in the acknowledgment section. If AI was used for data collection,

analysis, or figure generation, authors should describe this use in the

methods.

Authors

must assert that there is no plagiarism in their manuscript, including

in text and images produced by the AI as well as ensure there is

appropriate attribution of all quoted material, including full

citations.

Sample of declaration statement:

During

the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [tool name] to

[reason, e.g. improve language]. The author(s) reviewed and edited the

content and take full responsibilities for the publication.

Submission of Manuscripts

All

manuscripts must be submitted on-line through the website

https://review.jow.medknow.com/apjtm. First time users will have to

register at this site. Registration is free but mandatory. Registered

authors can keep track of their articles after logging into the site

using their user name and password.

The journal does not charge for submission and processing of the manuscripts.

If you experience any problems, please contact the editorial office by e-mail at apjtm2008@aliyun.com

The

submitted manuscripts that are not as per the “Instructions to Authors"

would be returned to the authors for technical correction, before they

undergo editorial/ peer-review. Generally, the manuscript should be

submitted in the form of two separate files:

[1] Title Page/First Page File/covering letter:

This file should provide

1.      The

type of manuscript (original article, case report, review article,

Letter to editor, Images, etc.) title of the manuscript, running title,

names of all authors/ contributors (with their highest academic degrees,

designation and affiliations) and name(s) of department(s) and/ or

institution(s) to which the work should be credited. All information

which can reveal your identity should be included here. Use text/rtf/doc

files. Do not zip the files.

2.      The

total number of pages, total number of photographs and word counts

separately for abstract and for the text (excluding the references,

tables and abstract), word counts for introduction + discussion in case

of an original article;

3.      Source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these;

4.      Acknowledgement,

if any. One or more statements should specify 1) contributions that

need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general

support by a departmental chair; 2) acknowledgments of technical help;

and 3) acknowledgments of financial and material support, which should

specify the nature of the support. This should be included in the title

page of the manuscript and not in the main article file.

5.      If

the manuscript was presented as part at a meeting, the organization,

place, and exact date on which it was read. A full statement to the

editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded

as redundant publication of the same or very similar work. Any such

work should be referred to specifically, and referenced in the new

paper. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted

paper, to help the editor decide how to handle the matter.

6.      Registration number in case of a clinical trial and where it is registered (name of the registry and its URL)

7.      Conflicts

of Interest of each author/ contributor. A statement of financial or

other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest, if that

information is not included in the manuscript itself or in an authors'

form

8.      Criteria for inclusion in the authors'/ contributors' list

9.      A

statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all the

authors, that the requirements for authorship as stated earlier in this

document have been met, and that each author believes that the

manuscript represents honest work, if that information is not provided

in another form (see below); and

10.   The

name, address, e-mail, and telephone number of the corresponding

author, who is responsible for communicating with the other authors

about revisions and final approval of the proofs, if that information is

not included on the manuscript itself.
