4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION

Free Format Submission

Journal of Medical Primatology now offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process. 

Before you submit, you will need: 
  • Your manuscript: this should be an editable file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files – whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. Figures should be uploaded in the highest resolution possible. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. Supporting information should be submitted in separate files. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers, and the editorial office will send it back to you for revision. Your manuscript may also be sent back to you for revision if the quality of English language is poor.
  • An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Why is this important? Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)
  • The title page of the manuscript, including:
    • Your co-author details, including affiliation and email address. (Why is this important? We need to keep all co-authors informed of the outcome of the peer review process.)
    • Statements relating to our ethics and integrity policies, which may include any of the following:
      • data availability statement 
      • funding statement 
      • conflict of interest disclosure 
      • ethics approval statement
      • permission to reproduce material from other sources 
      • clinical trial registration
(Why are these important? We need to uphold rigorous ethical standards for the research we consider for publication)

To submit, login at https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/JMP and create a new submission. Follow the submission steps as required and submit the manuscript.

Main Text File

Manuscripts can be uploaded either as a single document (containing the main text, tables and figures), or with figures and tables provided as separate files. Should your manuscript reach revision stage, figures and tables must be provided as separate files. The main manuscript file can be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx).

Your main document file should include:

  • A short informative title containing the major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations
  • The full names of the authors with institutional affiliations where the work was conducted, with a footnote for the author’s present address if different from where the work was conducted;
  • Acknowledgments;
  • Abstract structured (background/methods/results/conclusion) 
  • Up to ten keywords;
  • Main body: formatted as introduction, materials & methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, conflict of interest statement (see Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations);
  • References;
  • Tables (each table complete with title and footnotes);
  • Figures: Figure legends must be added beneath each individual image during upload AND as a complete list in the text.

Best Practices

  • The main manuscript file must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or LaTex (.tex) formats.
  • Figures should be numbered in the order that they are cited in the text, and presented in that order after the text of the paper
  • Full names (First, Middle, and Last) should be provided for all authors
  • Authors should include the complete affiliation addresses in the manuscript. At minimum, authors should include the institution name and country, but a complete affiliation also includes department name and institution city. The institution postal code is optional.


Authorship

Please refer to the journal’s authorship policy the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on eligibility for author listing.

Title

The title should be short and informative, containing major keywords related to the content. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips). Please note that the genus, species and sub-species (where applicable) of the NHP must appear in the title.

Abstract

The Abstract should be structured under the four headings: ‘Background, 'Methods’, ‘Results’ and 'Conclusions'; it should not exceed 150 words and must be intelligible without reference to the rest of the paper.

Keywords

Please provide 3 – 10 keywords that are not used in the title.

Materials and Methods

Humane Care Guidelines: Papers will be accepted for publication only if the animals in the research were cared for and used humanely. The first sub-section in the Materials and Methods section must be 'Humane Care Guidelines'. For studies using client-owned animals (i.e. zoos, wildlife conservation etc.), a statement confirming best practice veterinary care must be provided.

Ethics Statement

Authors are required to confirm their adherence to the Journal of Medical Primatology’s Ethics Policy, as outlined in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section, during the submission process. Authors must provide an Ethics Statement confirming that they have adhered to the journal’s ethical policy within their manuscript. This statement should detail the ethical review committee approval process and the international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for humane animal treatment followed. If no ethical approval was required, for example, if the paper is a review which includes no original research data, or the study used standard of care medical treatment (as in a case report) – this should be stated within the Ethics Statement. Examples of how these statements may look are below:

Example of an Ethics Statement where ethical approval was required: ‘The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to and the appropriate ethical review committee approval has been received. The US National Research Council's guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals were followed.’

Example of an Ethics Statement where ethical approval was not required: ‘The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to. Ethical approval was not required because no animals were used for research in this study.’  [For example, as for a review article or case report using standard of care medical treatment].

Animal ethics-based criteria for manuscript rejection:

1) Manuscripts and authors that fail to meet the aforementioned requirements
2) Studies that involve unnecessary pain, distress, suffering, or lasting harm to animals
3) The Editor retains the right to reject manuscripts on the basis of ethical or welfare concerns.

Conflict of Interest Statement

Authors will be asked to provide a conflict of interest statement during the submission process. For details on what to include in this section, see the section ‘Conflict of Interest’ in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section below. Submitting authors should ensure they liaise with all co-authors to confirm agreement with the final statement.

Acknowledgments

Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section. Financial and material support should also be mentioned. Thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.

References

All references should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance and should be as complete as possible. In text citations should cite references in consecutive order using Arabic superscript numerals.

Footnotes

Footnotes should be avoided. If essential, they should be placed as a list at the end of the paper only, not at the foot of each page. They should be numbered in the list and referred to in the text with consecutive, superscript Arabic numerals.

Tables

Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. They should be supplied separately to the main text as editable files. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text.

Figure Legends

Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.

Figures

Although authors are encouraged to send the highest-quality figures possible, for peer-review purposes, a wide variety of formats, sizes, and resolutions are accepted. Click here for the basic figure requirements for figures submitted with manuscripts for initial peer review, as well as the more detailed post-acceptance figure requirements. All figures should clarify the text and their number should be kept to a minimum.

Figures submitted in colour may be reproduced in colour online free of charge. Please note, however, that it is preferable that line figures (e.g. graphs and charts) are supplied in black and white so that they are legible if printed by a reader in black and white.

Data Citation

Please review Wiley’s data citation policy here.

Appendices

Appendices will be published after the references. For submission they should be supplied as separate files but referred to in the text.

Supporting Information

Supporting information is information that is not essential to the article, but provides greater depth and background. It is hosted online and appears without editing or typesetting. It may include tables, figures, videos, datasets, etc.

Click here for Wiley’s FAQs on supporting information.

Note: if data, scripts, or other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper are available via a publicly available data repository, authors should include a reference to the location of the material within their paper.

General Style Points

The following points provide general advice on formatting and style.

  • Abbreviations: In general, terms should not be abbreviated unless they are used repeatedly and the abbreviation is helpful to the reader. Initially, use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation only.
  • Language: The journal uses British spelling; however, authors may submit using either British or American English, as spelling of accepted papers is converted during the production process.
  • Units of measurement: American measuring units must be accompanied by metric translation.
  • Numbers: Numbers under 10 are spelt out, except when used in comparisons with a higher number (‘8 of 12’ and ‘three of eight’); measurements with a unit (8mmol/l); age (6 weeks old), or lists with other numbers (11 dogs, 9 cats, 4 gerbils). Use only numbers as superscripts in tables.
  • Symbols: Symbols such as asterisks, daggers, or letters should not be used. Numbers must be referred to using the word 'number', 'No.', or 'N’. The symbol '#' may not be used.
  • Italics: Latin terms must be italicized (in vivo, in vitro, in situ etc.) All species names must be italicized.
  • Trade Names: Chemical substances should be referred to by the generic name only. Trade names should not be used. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names. If proprietary drugs have been used in the study, refer to these by their generic name, mentioning the proprietary name and the name and location of the manufacturer in parentheses.

5. EDITORIAL POLICIES AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Peer Review and Acceptance

The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to journal readership. Papers will only be sent for review if the Editor-in-Chief determines that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements. Journal of Medical Primatology requires all authors to recommend three reviewers who have expertise in the subject of the manuscript and are not recent collaborators, nor recently employed by the same institution. To maintain the international nature of the journal, all manuscripts must have at least 1 reviewer that is outside the country of origin of the manuscript. The remaining two reviewers may be from any country, including the country of origin of the manuscript. In order for papers to be considered for publication, reviewers must have specific expertise in the research areas of the corresponding manuscript. 

Manuscripts are single-blind peer reviewed.

Wiley's policy on the confidentiality of the review process is available here.

Ethics Policy

All material published in the Journal of Medical Primatology must adhere to high ethical standards concerning animal welfare. The journal requires authors to adhere to animal research reporting standards, for example the ARRIVE reporting guidelines for reporting study design and statistical analysis; experimental procedures; experimental animals and housing and husbandry.

Manuscripts will be considered for publication only if the work detailed:

1) Follows international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for humane animal treatment and complies with relevant legislation. US authors should cite compliance with the US National Research Council's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, the US Public Health Service's Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, and Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. UK authors should conform to UK legislation under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 Amendment Regulations (SI 2012/3039). European authors outside the UK should conform to Directive 2010/63/EU.

2) Includes a statement that the use of animals has been reviewed and approved by the legally or officially constituted ethics review committee of the institution or other entity where the studies were conducted.

3) For studies using client-owned animals, demonstrates a high standard (best practice) of veterinary care and involves informed client consent.


Ethics Statement

Authors are required to confirm their adherence to the Journal of Medical Primatology’s Ethics Policy during the submission process. Authors must provide an Ethics Statement confirming that they have adhered to the journal’s ethical policy within their manuscript. This statement should detail the ethical review committee approval process and the international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for humane animal treatment followed. If no ethical approval was required, for example, if the paper is a review which includes no original research data, or the study used standard of care medical treatment (as in a case report) – this should be stated within the Ethics Statement. Examples of how these statements may look are below:

Example of an Ethics Statement where ethical approval was required: ‘The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to and the appropriate ethical review committee approval has been received. The US National Research Council's guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals were followed.’

Example of an Ethics Statement where ethical approval was not required: ‘The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to. Ethical approval was not required because no animals were used for research in this study.’  [For example, as for a review article or case report using standard of care medical treatment].

Animal ethics-based criteria for manuscript rejection:

1) Manuscripts and authors that fail to meet the aforementioned requirements
2) Studies that involve unnecessary pain, distress, suffering, or lasting harm to animals
3) The Editor retains the right to reject manuscripts on the basis of ethical or welfare concerns.

Guidelines on Publishing and Research Ethics in Journal Articles

Please review Wiley’s policies surrounding human studies, animal studies, clinical trial registration, biosecurity, and research reporting guidelines here.

Species Names

Upon its first use in the title, abstract, and text, the common name of a species should be followed by the scientific name (genus, species, and authority) in parentheses. If no common name exists in English, only the scientific name should be used.

The genus, species and sub-species (where applicable) of the NHP must appear in the manuscript title.

Genetic Nomenclature

Sequence variants should be described in the text and tables using both DNA and protein designations whenever appropriate. Sequence variant nomenclature must follow the current HGVS guidelines; see varnomen.hgvs.org, where examples of acceptable nomenclature are provided.

Sequence Data

Nucleotide sequence data can be submitted in electronic form to any of the three major collaborative databases: DDBJ, EMBL, or GenBank. It is only necessary to submit to one database as data are exchanged between DDBJ, EMBL, and GenBank on a daily basis. The suggested wording for referring to accession-number information is: ‘These sequence data have been submitted to the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession number U12345’. Addresses are as follows:


Proteins sequence data should be submitted to either of the following repositories:


Conflict of Interest

The journal requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that might be perceived as influencing an author's objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or directly related to the work that the authors describe in their manuscript. Potential sources of conflict of interest include, but are not limited to: patent or stock ownership, membership of a company board of directors, membership of an advisory board or committee for a company, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker's fees from a company. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships.

Funding

Authors should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their funder designation. If in doubt, please check the Open Funder Registry for the correct nomenclature: https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry/

Authorship

The list of authors should accurately illustrate who contributed to the work and how. All those listed as authors should qualify for authorship according to the following criteria:

  1. Have made substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data;
    2. Been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
    3. Given final approval of the version to be published. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content; and
    4. Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section (for example, to recognize contributions from people who provided technical help, collation of data, writing assistance, acquisition of funding, or a department chairperson who provided general support). Prior to submitting the article all authors should agree on the order in which their names will be listed in the manuscript.

Author Pronouns 

Authors may now include their personal pronouns in the author bylines of their published articles and on Wiley Online Library. Authors will never be required to include their pronouns; it will always be optional  for  the author.  Authors can  include their pronouns  in their manuscript upon submission  and  can  add,  edit,  or  remove  their  pronouns  at  any  stage  upon  request. Submitting/corresponding authors should never add, edit, or remove a coauthor’s pronouns without that coauthor’s consent. Where post-publication changes to pronouns are required, these can be made without a correction notice to the paper, following Wiley’s Name Change Policy to protect the author’s privacy. Terms which fall outside of the scope of personal pronouns, e.g. proper or improper nouns, are currently not supported. 

Author Name Changes

In cases where authors wish to change their name following publication, Wiley will update and republish the paper and redeliver the updated metadata to indexing services. Our editorial and production teams will use discretion in recognizing that name changes may be of a sensitive and private nature for various reasons including (but not limited to) alignment with gender identity, or as a result of marriage, divorce, or religious conversion. Accordingly, to protect the author’s privacy, we will not publish a correction notice to the paper, and we will not notify co-authors of the change. Authors should contact the journal’s Editorial Office with their name change request.

Correction to Authorship

In accordance with Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines on Research Integrity and Publishing Ethics and the Committee on Publication Ethics’ guidance, the Journal of Medical Primatology will allow authors to correct authorship on a submitted, accepted, or published article if a valid reason exists to do so. All authors – including those to be added or removed – must agree to any proposed change. To request a change to the author list, please complete the Request for Changes to a Journal Article Author List Form and contact either the journal’s editorial or production office, depending on the status of the article. Authorship changes will not be considered without a fully completed Author Change form. [Correcting the authorship is different from changing an author’s name; the relevant policy for that can be found in Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines under “Author name changes after publication.”]


Additional Authorship Options

Joint first or senior authorship: In the case of joint first authorship, a footnote should be added to the author listing, e.g. ‘X and Y should be considered joint first author’ or ‘X and Y should be considered joint senior author.’

Data Sharing and Accessibility

Journal of Medical Primatology recognises the many benefits of archiving research data. The journal expects you to archive all the data from which your published results are derived in a public repository. The repository that you choose should offer you guaranteed preservation (see the registry of research data repositories at https://www.re3data.org/) and should help you make it findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-useable, according to FAIR Data Principles (https://www.force11.org/group/fairgroup/fairprinciples).

All accepted manuscripts are required to publish a data availability statement to confirm the presence or absence of shared data. If you have shared data, this statement will describe how the data can be accessed, and include a persistent identifier (e.g., a DOI for the data, or an accession number) from the repository where you shared the data. Authors will be required to confirm adherence to the policy. If you cannot share the data described in your manuscript, for example for legal or ethical reasons, or do not intend to share the data then you must provide the appropriate data availability statement. Journal of Medical Primatology notes that FAIR data sharing allows for access to shared data under restrictions (e.g., to protect confidential or proprietary information) but notes that the FAIR principles encourage you to share data in ways that are as open as possible (but that can be as closed as necessary).

Sample statements are available here. Please note that the samples provided are examples of how the statements can be formatted – these can be modified accordingly depending on your requirements. If published, all statements will be placed in the heading of your manuscript.


Data Citation

Please also cite the data you have shared, like you would cite other sources that your article refers to, in your references section. You should follow the format for your data citations laid out in the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles, https://www.force11.org/datacitationprinciples:

[dataset] Authors; Year; Dataset title; Data repository or archive; Version (if any); Persistent identifier (e.g. DOI)
