Author Guidelines

Please Read Carefully:

  1. Do NOT make a new submission for a manuscript which has been submitted previously. All revised articles and corrections should be submitted using the original Login ID generated upon the first submission.
  2. Ensure that the following 3 documents are in hand and complete before submitting a manuscript:
            a. Cover Letter
              b. Ethical Approval
              c. Complete Submission Form

 Supporting Documents

Ensure that you have the following supporting documents prepared before you attempt to submit the manuscript.

Obligatory Document 1: Cover Letter

A cover letter is an obligatory supporting document, without which the manager will not upload and accept the manuscript.

A cover letter should be kept succinct and include the following information:

  • An introduction stating the title of the manuscript
  • The reason why your study is important and relevant to the J-NESS readership
  • A statement that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication in any other journal. Do declare if it had been submitted elsewhere previously but rejected, withdrawn or anything else, with the due explanation.
  • A statement that all authors approved the manuscript and its submission to the journal.
  • An explanation of any issues relating to J-NESS policies.
  • A declaration of any potential conflict of interests, including disclosures of previously presented abstracts.
  • A declaration of any funding sources.

Acceptable formats for the cover letter include docx or pdf.

Obligatory Document 2: Ethical Approval of Research

Ethical approval of research in the form of letters from the institutional ethical review committee (ERC), or any other relevant form of ethical approval is mandatory for all manuscripts submitted to J-NESS. The only exceptions to this rule include letters to the editor based on some new information. For letters, review articles, etc., upload an MS Word document stating the reason for an exception to the rule. Note that this method of bypassing the system would not be accepted in cases where ethical approval is mandatory. The manuscript will be reviewed by the technical team and will be returned to the authors.

Acceptable formats for ethical approval of research include docx or pdf.
