Free format submission

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine 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.

2. AIMS AND SCOPE

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine publishes manuscripts of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. The journal does not usually consider papers on periodontal or related diseases. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry, immunocytochemistry and molecular biology.

Review papers on topical and relevant subjects will receive a high priority and articles requiring rapid publication because of their significance and timeliness will be included as brief reports not exceeding three printed pages. 

All submitted manuscripts falling within the overall scope of the Journal will be assessed by suitably qualified reviewers, but manuscripts in an incorrect format will be returned to the author without review.


3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS


i. Original Research Articles

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine welcomes Original Research Articles of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry, immunocytochemistry and molecular biology.

References: Maximum of 30 references.

Figures/Tables: Total of no more than 6 figures and/or tables.

Main Text Structure: should be divided into introduction, material and methods, results and discussion:

  • Introduction: should clearly state the purpose of the article. Give only strictly pertinent references. Exhaustive literature reviews are inappropriate.
  • Materials and Methods: must contain sufficient detail such that, in combination with the references cited, all clinical trials and experiments reported can be fully reproduced. As a condition of publication, authors are required to make materials and methods used freely available to academic researchers for their own use. This may for example include antibodies etc. Other supporting data sets must be made available on the publication date from the authors directly.
    Please see the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for requirements related to Clinical Trials, Experimental Subjects and Suppliers.

Main Text must comprise an introduction and a running text structured in a suitable way according to the subject treated. A final section with conclusions may be added.

Data Availibility Statement will not be necessary. 

iii. Systematic Reviews

A systematic review is a comprehensive high-level summary of primary research on a specific research question that attempts to identify, select, synthesise and appraise all (high-quality) evidence relevant to that question. A meta-analysis uses statistical methods to quantitatively evaluate pooled data from single studies. Many pathological reviews are likely not to have sufficient data on clinical outcomes to warrant a meta-analysis.

While the content of a systematic review will be partly determined by the topic and evidence, as a minimum the review should:

  • Clearly state the purpose of the review
  • Determine inclusion and exclusion criteria to generate a PRISMA flowchart that includes identification of studies, screening, eligibility and inclusion data (See Liberati A, Altman DG, Tetzlaff J et al, The PRISMA statement for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of studies that evaluate healthcare interventions: explanation and elaboration. BMJ 2009: 339: b2700)
  • Determine the primary end point of the review ie. acceptance or rejection of the null hypothesis
  • Clearly describe the search methodology [databases (preferably more than one), search terms]
  • Describe the process of data extraction
  • Undertake statistical assimilation if appropriate
  • Evaluate the quality and/or risk of bias of the studies included preferably using a standard assessment tool (See Guyatt, GH, Oxman AD, Vist GE et al. GRADE: an emerging consensus on rating quality of evidence and strength of recommendations. BMJ 2008; 336: 924-926
  • Provide recommendations for future researches 

Word limit: 3,000 words maximum, excluding abstract and references.

Abstract: 250 words maximum. Should not contain abbreviations. Please choose headings appropriate for the article.

References: Maximum of 50 references.

Abstract: 250 words maximum. Should not contain abbreviations. Please choose headings appropriate for the article. 

References: Maximum of 10 references.

Figures/Tables: Total of no more than 3 figures and tables.


v. Letters to the Editor

Letters, if of broad interest, are encouraged. Letters should not be confused with Brief Reports. Letters may deal with material in papers published in Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine or they may raise new issues, but should have important implications.

Word limit: 750 words maximum, excluding abstract and references.

References: Maximum of 5 references.

Figures/Tables: Total of no more than one figure and table.

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. Manuscripts are single-anonymised or transparent peer reviewed, depending on the choice of the authors. Papers will only be sent to review if the Editor-in-Chief determines that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements.  

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

Refer and Transfer Program 

Wiley believes that no valuable research should go unshared. This journal participates in Wiley’s Refer & Transfer program. If your manuscript is not accepted, you may receive a recommendation to transfer your manuscript to another suitable Wiley journal, either through a referral from the journal’s editor or through our Transfer Desk Assistant. 


Transparent Peer Review

This journal supports Peer Review Transparency. You have the choice to opt-out during the submission process. By submitting to this journal, you agree that the reviewer reports, their responses, and the editor’s decision letter will be linked from the published article to where they appear on Web of Science in the case that the article is accepted. Reviewers can choose to remain anonymous unless they would like to sign their report.  


Appeal and Complaints

Authors may appeal an editorial decision if they feel that the decision to reject was based on either a significant misunderstanding of a core aspect of the manuscript, a failure to understand how the manuscript advances the literature or concerns regarding the manuscript-handling process. Differences in opinion regarding the novelty or significance of the reported findings are not considered as grounds for appeal. To raise an appeal, please contact the journal by email, quoting your manuscript ID number and explaining your rationale for the appeal. The editor’s decision following an appeal consideration is final.  

To raise a complaint regarding editorial staff, policy or process please contact the journal in the first instance. If you believe further support outside the journal’s management is necessary, please refer to Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines on Research Integrity and Publishing Ethics. 


Human Studies and Subjects

For manuscripts reporting medical studies that involve human participants, a statement identifying the ethics committee that approved the study and confirmation that the study conforms to recognized standards is required, for example: Declaration of Helsinki; US Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects; or European Medicines Agency Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice. It should also state clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study.

Patient anonymity should be preserved. When detailed descriptions, photographs, or videos of faces or identifiable body parts are used that may allow identification, authors should obtain the individual's free prior informed consent. Authors do not need to provide a copy of the consent form to the publisher; however, in signing the author license to publish, authors are required to confirm that consent has been obtained. Wiley has a standard patient consent form available for use. Where photographs are used they need to be cropped sufficiently to prevent human subjects being recognized; black eye bars should not be used as they do not sufficiently protect an individual’s identity).


Animal Studies

A statement indicating that the protocol and procedures employed were ethically reviewed and approved, as well as the name of the body giving approval, must be included in the Methods section of the manuscript. Authors are encouraged to adhere to animal research reporting standards, for example the ARRIVE guidelines for reporting study design and statistical analysis; experimental procedures; experimental animals and housing and husbandry. Authors should also state whether experiments were performed in accordance with relevant institutional and national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals:


Suppliers

Suppliers of materials should be named and their location (town, state/county, country) included.


Clinical Trial Registration

The journal requires that clinical trials are prospectively registered in a publicly accessible database and clinical trial registration numbers should be included in all papers that report their results. Authors are asked to include the name of the trial register and the clinical trial registration number at the end of the abstract. If the trial is not registered, or was registered retrospectively, the reasons for this should be explained.


Research Reporting Guidelines

Accurate and complete reporting enables readers to fully appraise research, replicate it, and use it. Authors are encouraged to adhere to recognised research reporting standards. The EQUATOR Network collects more than 370 reporting guidelines for many study types, including for:


We also encourage authors to refer to and follow guidelines from:


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.

The above policies are in accordance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals produced by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/). It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to have all authors of a manuscript fill out a conflict of interest disclosure form, and to upload all forms together with the manuscript on submission. The disclosure statement should be included under Acknowledgements. Please find the form below:

Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form

The form above does not display correctly in the browsers. If you see an error message starting with "Please wait...", we recommend that you download the file to your computer. Saving a local copy on your computer should allow the form to work properly.


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; and
  2. Been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and
  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.


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 Data Accessibility

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine expects that data supporting the results in the paper will be archived in an appropriate public repository. Authors are required to provide a data availability statement to describe the availability or the absence of shared data. When data have been shared, authors are required to include in their data availability statement a link to the repository they have used, and to cite the data they have shared. Whenever possible the scripts and other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper should also be publicly archived. If sharing data compromises ethical standards or legal requirements then authors are not expected to share it.

See the Standard Templates for Author Use to select an appropriate data availability statement for your dataset.


Publication Ethics

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Note this journal uses iThenticate’s CrossCheck software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Read Wiley'sTop 10 Publishing Ethics Tips for Authors here. Wiley’s Publication Ethics Guidelines can be found here.
