Information 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 Biomedicine 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 Biomedicine readers are also liable to

be rejected at this stage itself.

Manuscripts

received from Editorial Board members will be screened by the Editor in

Chief and sent to external peer reviewers. The editorial board members

who are authors will be excluded from publication decisions.

Manuscripts

that are found suitable for publication in Asian Pacific Journal of

Tropical Biomedicine 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.

Manuscripts

accepted for publication are copy edited 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 Biomedicine 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

Biomedicine 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

Biomedicine 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 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'.

­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.

­Submission of Manuscripts

All

manuscripts must be submitted on-line through the website

https://review.jow.medknow.com/apjtb. 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.­

If you experience any problems, please contact the editorial office by e-mail at editor [AT] apjtb . org­

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 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.

[2]

Blinded Article file: The main text of the article, beginning from

Abstract till References (including tables) should be in this file. The

file must not contain any mention of the authors' names or initials or

the institution at which the study was done or acknowledgements. Page

headers/running title can include the title but not the authors' names.

Manuscripts not in compliance with the Journal's blinding policy will be

returned to the corresponding author. Use rtf/doc files. Do not zip the

files. Limit the file size to 1 MB. Do not incorporate images in the

file. If file size is large, graphs can be submitted as images

separately without incorporating them in the article file to reduce the

size of the file. The pages should be numbered consecutively, beginning

with the first page of the blinded article file.

[3]

Images: Submit good quality color images. Each image should be less

than 2 MB in size. Size of the image can be reduced by decreasing the

actual height and width of the images (keep up to 1600 x 1200 pixels or

5-6 inches). Images can be submitted as jpeg files. Do not zip the

files. Legends for the figures/images should be included at the end of

the article file.

The copyright process is now digital to streamline manuscript

submissions. Please follow these guidelines for a smooth submission

process:

The

submitting author must ensure that all co-authors, with their correct

email addresses [mandatory], are added in the 'Authors and Institutions'

section during the third step of online submission.
