Guidelines for Authors


Journal of Translational Neuroscience, named Translational Medicine Research before 2015, is a quarterly, peer reviewed electronic journal taking the CD for medium. Journal of Translational Neuroscience is sponsored by Capital Medical University and Higher Education Publishing House of Ministry of Education.

Aims and Scope

Journal of Translational Neuroscience covers research findings in all subfields of neuroscience (such as behavioral, cognitive, computational, developmental and regeneration, molecular, neural aging, neuroanatomy, neurobiology, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, methodology, neurotoxicology and systems neuroscience) as well as in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry. It provides a closer interaction between basic and clinical neuroscientists to expand understanding of brain structure, function and disease, and translate this knowledge into clinical applications and novel therapies of nervous system disorders.

Publication Formats

Journal of Translational Neuroscience considers submissions of:
> Research Articles: Each manuscript should clearly state an objective or hypothesis, the methods, the main results of the study and the conclusions.
> Reviews: Review articles include systematic, critical assessments of literature and data sources pertaining to different medical topics, such as cause, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or prevention, etc.
> Methodology: Methodology should present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method may either be completely new or a better version of an existing method.
> Case Reports: Authors usually describe one to three patients or a single family.
> Video and Audio: Journal of Translational Neuroscience encourages authors to prepare video-articles or audio-articles as an adjunct to their publication, to allow visualization of the techniques under-pinning the published research.
There is no explicit limit on the length of articles submitted, but authors are encouraged to be concise.

Manuscript Information

Manuscripts submitted to Journal of Translational Neuroscience should meet following standards: the material is original; the writing is clear; the study methods are appropriate; the data are valid; the conclusions are reasonable and supported by the data.
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously and are not under consideration by another publication.

Manuscript Submission

Please submit your files in MS Word - standard DOCUMENT (.DOC) formats, and recommend you upload your entire manuscript, including tables and figures, as a single file. And please submit your files through the journal’s email: tmr@ccmu.edu.cn.
It is important that authors include a cover letter with their manuscript. The letter should contain all important details such as: your full name (submitted by); full title of article; full list of authors with affiliations (Affiliations should include: Department; University or organization; City; Postal code; State/province; Country); e-mail of the corresponding author; contact address, telephone/fax numbers of the corresponding author.

Organization of the Manuscript

Articles should be organized into the following sections:
Title
We suggest the title should be informative, specific to the project, yet concise (75 characters or fewer).
Abstract
Include a structured abstract of no more than 300 words for original articles and Methodology (Objective, Method, Result, Conclusion), and non-structured abstract for the review articles. Abstracts are not required for case report.
Keywords
List keywords for the work presented (maximum of 10), separated by commas. We suggest that keywords do not replicate those used in the title. Authors should use keywords that are specific and emphasize what is essential in the presented study.
Introduction
The introduction should put the focus of the manuscript into a broader context and should supply sufficient background information to allow the reader to understand and evaluate the results without referring to previous publications on the topic.
Methods
This section should include sufficient technical information to enable the experiments to be reproduced. Protocols for new methods or significant modifications to existing methods should be included, while previously published or well-established protocols should only be referenced.
Results
This section should provide statistical analyses of all of the experiments that are required to support the conclusions of the paper. Present the results as concisely as possible in text, table(s), or figure(s). Avoid extensive use of graphs to present data that might be more concisely presented in the text or tables. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and referred to in the text by number, and be sure to cite all figures and tables. Please afford high quality and high-resolution images. Tables should be typed as text, please do not use graphics software to create tables.
Discussion
The Discussion should provide an interpretation of the results in relation to previously published work and to the experimental system used. This section should spell out the major conclusions of the work along with some explanation or speculation on the significance of these conclusions. The discussion should be concise and tightly argued. 
Acknowledgments
This section should describe sources of funding that have supported the work. People who contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria for authors should be listed along with their contributions. And you must ensure that anyone named in the acknowledgments agrees to being so named. In this section authors should explicitly reveal all potential financial, personal or professional conflicts of interest. Authors should also explicitly state if there is no such conflict regarding the publication of the article.
References
A complete reference should give the reader enough information to find the relevant article. Please pay particular attention to spelling, capitalization and punctuation.
Number references in the order they appear in the text; do not alphabetize. In text, tables, and legends, identify references with superscript Arabic numerals. When listing references, abbreviate names of journals according to Index Medicus.
For all references, list the first three authors; add "et al." if there are additional authors.
Please use the following style for the reference list:
1.Liu XP, Long DY, Dong JZ, et al. Recurrent atrial tachycardia and atrial fibrillation after circumferential pulmonary vein ablation: What’s the difference? Chin Med J, 2005, 118(6): 1773-1778.
2.Weinstein L, Swartz MN. Pathogenic properties of invading microorganisms. In: Sodeman WA Jr., Sodeman WA, eds. Pathologic physiology: mechanisms of disease. Philadelphia: Saunders; 1974: 457-472.
3.Dionne MS, Schneider DS, Screening the immune system. Genome Biol, 2002. http://genomebiology.com/2002/3/4/reviews/1010
Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references and for correct citation of the text.
