`
`INFORMATION
`FOR AUTHORS
`
`Note: The following information is updated
`periodically. Please refer to the most recently
`published version.
`EDITORIAL POLICY
`The Journal of the National Cancer Institute
`publishes manuscripts that describe new findings
`of particular significance in any area relating to
`cancer, as well as associated news items, reviews,
`and opinion pieces. The Journal employs a process
`of rigorous yet rapid review of submitted manu(cid:173)
`scripts so that findings of high scientific and medi(cid:173)
`cal interest can be published with minimum delay.
`Review of manuscripts is conducted by the
`editorial board, with the assistance of external re(cid:173)
`viewers. The editorial board initially reviews all
`submitted manuscripts and, whenever possible, re(cid:173)
`turns to authors within 2 weeks all papers that are
`judged to be of insufficient priority for further
`consideration. Scientific papers of high interest
`will be sent out for external review. Submissions
`describing new results originating from the National
`Cancer Institute will be subject to review by individu(cid:173)
`als outside the institute.
`In most cases, authors will be notified of accep(cid:173)
`tance, rejection, or need for revision within 8
`weeks of submission. Papers sent back to authors
`for revision must be returned to us within the time
`specified in our cover letter or the manuscript will
`be retired from further consideration. Acceptance
`is contingent on author submission of complete and
`consistent data, accurate reference list, and conclu(cid:173)
`sions consistent with results demonstrated in the
`study. Inconsistencies and inaccuracies found after
`acceptance may warrant return of the manuscript for
`resubmission. The decision to publ ish a manuscript
`is solely the responsibility of the editorial board.
`Opinions expressed by the authors are not necessar(cid:173)
`ily those of the publisher or the editors.
`If papers are accepted for publication, manu(cid:173)
`script copy and figures will not be returned. If
`papers are rejected, figures-but not manuscript
`copy-will be returned.
`The Journal endeavors to appeal to a broad,
`multidisciplinary audience. Accordingly , all
`manuscripts submitted for publication should be
`written with clarity and readability in mind. All
`manuscripts are subject to editing to ensure con(cid:173)
`forn1ity with Journal style and editorial stand(cid:173)
`ards. The Journal follows the precepts of the
`International Committee of Medical Journal Edi(cid:173)
`tors (also known as the Vancouver Group). (See
`Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted
`to biomedical journals. JAMA 1993;269:2282-6.)
`FORMAT
`Articles
`Articles describe new findings of major impor(cid:173)
`tance. An Article should contain 4000 words or
`less, not counting abstract, Methods section, refer(cid:173)
`ence list, tables, footnotes, and figure legends.
`(See "Tables and Figures.")
`Reports
`Reports describe significant findings not re(cid:173)
`quiring a more extensive format. A Report should
`contain 2000 words or less, not counting abstract,
`Methods section, reference list, tables, footnotes,
`and figure legends. (See "Tables and Figures.")
`
`Brief Comm unications
`Brief Communications are concise descrip(cid:173)
`tions of new findings of general interest. A Brief
`Communication should contain 750 words or less,
`not counting reference list, tables, footnotes; and
`figure legends. A Brief Communication should not
`be divided by heads and subheads and should not
`contain an abstract. (See "Tables and Figures.")
`Correspondence
`Letters to the editor may express an opinion
`about material previously published in the Journal
`or express views on topics of current relevance to
`some aspect of cancer. A letter should contain 500
`words or less, not counting reference list (seven
`references maximum), footnotes, and figure leg(cid:173)
`end or table. A letter relating to work published in
`the Journal will ordinarily be referred to the
`author(s) of the original item for a response, which
`may be published along with the letter. Complete
`references should be given if the letter cites the
`work of others; if the letter comments on an item
`published in the Journal, that item must be included
`in the numbered reference list. Letters must be
`submitted both as double-spaced hard copy and on
`disk. (See "Disks" and "Tables and Figures.")
`Editorials
`Editorials convey opinions on any subject rele(cid:173)
`vant to the Journal's concerns. They may discuss
`the significance of a paper in the same issue of the
`Journal, a recent finding published elsewhere, or a
`particular topic of significance. Editorials are usu(cid:173)
`ally solicited by the editors, but unsolicited sub(cid:173)
`missions will be considered. Editorials usually
`contain about 1000 words, not counting reference
`list and footnotes, but length may be negotiated at
`the time of invitation.
`Commenta ry
`Topical items under this heading convey to the
`reader, in relatively nontechnical and informal
`style, a summary of current activities or events that
`bear on some aspect of cancer. Highlights of sci(cid:173)
`enti fie meetings, the intersection of science and
`public policy, or news items of general interest in
`relation to cancer are examples of suitable subject
`areas. Pieces are generally solicited by the editors,
`but unsolicited contributions are welcome. A Com(cid:173)
`mentary usually contains 2000-4000 words, not
`counting reference list, tables, footnotes , and fig(cid:173)
`ure legends. A Commentary should not contain an
`abstract. (See "Tables and Figures.")
`Reviews
`A good Review provides a comprehensive
`overview of an area of cancer biology, epidemiol(cid:173)
`ogy, prevention, treatment, or behavioral science.
`While Reviews should be accessible to knowledge(cid:173)
`able readers not expert in the subject area, Reviews
`should be prepared with the same rigor as a re(cid:173)
`search paper reporting specific results. (See J Nat!
`Cancer lnst 1997;89:6-7 for detailed guidelines on
`preparing reviews for this journal. A copy of the
`guidelines can be obtained by contacting the Jour(cid:173)
`nal Office, P.O. Box 31110, Bethesda, MD 20824-
`1110; telephone: 301-496-6975; fax: 301-402-0212.)
`While most Reviews are solicited by the editors,
`unsolicited submissions are also welcome. A Re(cid:173)
`view should contain 6000 words or less, not count(cid:173)
`ing abstract, reference list, tables, footnotes, and
`figure legends. (See "Tables and Figures.")
`Book Reviews
`Book Reviews are solicited by the book review
`editor and contain I 000 words or less.
`
`SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
`Submission of Manuscripts,
`Including Letters to the Editor
`New submissions of Articles, Reports, and Brief
`Communications originating in Europe (those whose
`corresponding authors have European addresses)
`should be sent to: Prof. J. Gordon Me Vie, European
`Editor of the Journal of the National Cancer Insti(cid:173)
`tute, Cancer Research Campaign, 10 Cambridge
`Terrace, London NWI 4JL, UK. Articles, Reports,
`and Brief Communications from other areas and all
`Editorials, Commentary, Reviews, and letters to the
`editor (Correspondence) should be submitted to:
`Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the National Cancer In(cid:173)
`stitute, P.O. Box31110, Bethesda, MD 20824-1110
`(telephone: 301-496-6975); express mail address:
`7550 Wisconsin Ave., Rm. 114, Bethesda, MD
`20814. All revised manuscripts should be sent to the
`Editor-in-Chief, at Bethesda.
`Manuscript title page, the body of the manu(cid:173)
`script, reference list, footnotes, and figure legends
`must be typed double-spaced; allow sufficient space
`between lines of type so each page contains no more
`than 26 lines (plus page number). Tables may be
`single- or double-spaced, but the type must be large
`enough and the lines of type sufficiently well spaced
`to be easily read. Send an original and three copies
`of the manuscript. Do not staple figures to the manu(cid:173)
`script. Four clear, can1era-ready (reproducible) sets
`of all illustrations must be provided; do not send
`photocopies of photographs, photomicrographs,
`gels, blots, or sin1ilar material. The cover leiter for
`the manuscript must conform to requirements stated
`in the "Cover Letter" section below. Manuscript
`submissions not meeting these requirements (i.e.,
`cover feller statements, number of clear copies of
`illustrations, number of manuscript copies, and
`spacing in hard copy of manuscript} will be returned
`to the author without review.
`Letters to the editor and solicited manuscripts
`must be submitted initially both as double-spaced
`hard copy and on disk. (Authors of other types of
`manuscripts will be asked to provide disk copies at
`time of acceptance.)

`Disks
`Manuscripts on disk should be in Microsoft
`Word for PC with all formatting codes removed,
`except for paragraph indentations. Do not send
`manuscript sections (e.g., title page, references,
`and tables) as separate files. Do not send figures on
`disk. Write the first author's name on the disk label,
`along with the name and version of the program
`used to create the file. Please virus check the disk
`and verify that it contains the correct file.
`Express Mail Decision Letter
`Authors wishing to receive as rapid a response
`as possible should include a pre-paid, self-ad(cid:173)
`dressed express mail envelope with their submis(cid:173)
`sion. 1 f no pre-paid envelope is included, or if the
`express mail carrier refuses our pickup request, the
`decision letter will be sent by first-class mail
`through our mail room.
`Title Page
`The title should be brief(14 words or less) and,
`except for Editorials and Correspondence, should
`not be in sentence form. If a letter to the editor
`pertains to an item published in the Journal, the title
`of the original item should be the title of the letter,
`preceded by "Re:." The title page should give the
`full name and affiliation of each author and the
`name and address of the single author to whom
`correspondence and/or reprint requests are to be sent.

`Authors should be aware that the individual named
`first in a list of authors of the paper, and his/her
`institutional afliliation, wi ll be the one named in any
`pub! ication-related or post -pub! ication citation or com(cid:173)
`munications by the Journal concerning the paper.
`Abbreviations
`Journal policy is to avoid the use of abbrevia(cid:173)
`tions whenever possible. If abbreviations are es(cid:173)
`senti al, list and define them. Author-created
`abbreviations are not to be used.
`Key Words
`List up to four key words for index purposes.
`Abstract
`An Article, Report, or Review must contain an
`abstract. Abstracts should be written using com(cid:173)
`plete sentences and must not exceed 250 words. An
`abstract should clearly state unique elements of the
`work, should be readable by nonspecialists as well
`as experts in the particular field, and should con(cid:173)
`cisely state all important findings of the study. All
`information in the abstract (including implica(cid:173)
`tions) must be explicitly stated in the text.
`Include, as appropriate, the following headings
`in abstracts for Articles and Reports only: Back(cid:173)
`ground, Mel/rods, ReSIIIIs, and Conclusion{s). The
`Backgrowrd should come from the Introduction of
`the paper and should note relevant previous find(cid:173)
`ings, designated as those of the authors and/or other
`investigators. It should also state the purpose of the
`present paper. The Me/hods should indicate all
`important materials or techniques used to fulfill the
`purpose of the study; these methods will be de(cid:173)
`scribed more fully in the Methods section of the
`paper; for each finding noted in the Resulls, a
`corresponding method should be provided in the
`Me/hods. The Resulls should contain only informa(cid:173)
`tion detailed in the Results seclion of the paper. All
`importanl significant results should be noled in the
`Resulls. The word "significant" should be used
`only if a result is statistically significant, and a P
`value or confidence interval should be cired in the
`abstract (as in the text) for any sratistically signifi(cid:173)
`cant finding.ll1e Me/hods must not conrain results,
`and the Resulls must not contain methods. The next
`section of the absrract should state any important
`Conclusion{s) demonstrated or suggested by the
`results. The Conclusion{s) should come from the
`Discussion section and can include any implica(cid:173)
`tion(s) derived as a nexl logical step or inference
`directly from the results of the study reported and
`olher related findings from investigators men(cid:173)
`tioned in the Discussion. lmplication(s), as stated
`in the Discussion, may suggest directions for fulure
`experimenral research and/or possible clinical ap(cid:173)
`plications and may note a particular need for con(cid:173)
`firmatory srudies or oiTcr cautions regarding
`interpretation of the results.
`Authors should carefully review each stale·
`ment in the abstract to ensure that the above points
`are satisfied.
`Text
`All submitted text should be typed double(cid:173)
`spaced and should be written in srandard gram(cid:173)
`matical English. (Refer to the AMA Manual of
`S1yle or a recent issue of the Journal on questions
`of style.) lndenl the first line of each paragraph.
`Number all pages consecutively. Dot-matrix or
`italicized text will not be accepted. All symbols and
`abbreviations should be defined. Number refer(cid:173)
`ences, tables, and figures in the order in which they
`are cited in the text. References in tables should
`continue the sequence of numbers in the tcxl at the
`
`point where the table is first mentioned (i.e., num(cid:173)
`bering of table references should not be reserved
`until the end of the reference list).
`G ene No menclature
`·n1e Journal does nor italicize symbols desig(cid:173)
`nating genes, alleles, or loci. (Authors should fol(cid:173)
`low such symbols with wording that clarifies the
`meaning of the symbol.) It has become difficult to
`consistently apply the system of ilalicizing these
`symbols 10 distinguish them from phenotype, es(cid:173)
`pecially since author usage is often inconsisrent. In
`addition, interpretations of proper use of italics
`vary, and incorrect use can be misleading.
`Journal policy is to allow use of the specific gene
`symbol preferred by the author. For human genes, if a
`symbol other than that listed in Human Gene Map(cid:173)
`ping is preferred, the author should identi fy paren(cid:173)
`thetically, al lirsl mention, lhe appropriate gene
`symbol lisred in the Human Gene Mapping report
`from the most recent international workshop on hu(cid:173)
`man gene mapping. All Human Gene Mapping des(cid:173)
`ignations for human genes should be capitalized; for
`other species, the symbols should be lowercased and
`the species of origin should be identified at first
`mention. Proteins arc distinguished from genes by
`encoding for them by an initial capital (e.g., Nm23).
`Sequence Informa tion
`Before final acceptance of any manuscripl con(cid:173)
`tain ing new nucleotide and/or amino acid se(cid:173)
`quences, the author(s) must deposit the sequence
`information with the GenBank database (National
`Center for Biotechnology Information, Bldg. 38A,

`Methods
`The description in the text of methods used
`must be succinct but sufficiently derailed to allow
`replication of the study by a qualified investigator.
`The Methods sections of Articles and Reports arc
`exempted from the word count (see "Articles" and
`"Reports," above). Authors should specify full
`names, rypes, amounts, and sources of reagents
`(giving complete names and locations of suppli(cid:173)
`ers); full names as well as standard abbreviations
`of labeled compounds and isotopes used for label(cid:173)
`ing; concentrations of solutions; and reaction con(cid:173)
`ditions (e.g., incubation limes and temperatures).
`In addition, techniques and procedures used should
`be accurately named, clearly and thoroughly ex(cid:173)
`plained, referenced when appropriate, and or(cid:173)
`ganized under appropriate subheadings. The
`Methods section must be complete and should
`include the merhodology corresponding to each of
`the end points presented in the Results. Authors
`should specify experimental conditions that limit
`the generalizability of the Results.
`
`For clinical trials, authors should clearly define
`and explain the purpose of the study, study design,
`numbers of patients, clinical staging of disease,
`type and sequence of treatments given before and
`during study, lime points for evaluation of re(cid:173)
