| EDITORIAL POLICY |
Except for the negotiated secondary publication, manuscript submitted to the Journal must be previously unpublished and not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Guidelines for the overlapping publications are based on instructions described in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscript Submitted to Biomedical Journals (Ann Intern Med 1997: 126; 36-47, http://www.icmje.org).
Manuscript decisions are based on the results of peer review. To ensure that this is unbiased, reviewers receive manuscripts with blind title pages. Under any circumstances, the identities of the reviewers will not be revealed. The Editor reserves the right to make changes which may clarify or condense papers where this is considered desirable. |

| GUIDELINES FOR EACH TYPE OF MANUSCRIPT |
| |
| Original Articles |
| |
| 1) General guidelines |
| ㆍ Manuscript should be organized in the following order: the Cover page, Title Page (title only), Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgement, References, Tables, Figure legends, and Figures. Each section should begin on a new page. |
| ㆍ Manuscript should be written by using Microsoft Word in electronic form and must be typed in double space on A4 size paper with a 3 cm margin of every side. |
| ㆍ All manuscript pages are to be numbered consecutively. Neither the author’s names nor their affiliations should appear on the manuscript pages. |
| ㆍ Any equipment and drugs mentioned should specify the manufacturer and their locations (city and country) in the parentheses. |
| ㆍOnce accepted, the final version of the manuscript can be submitted by email. |
| |
| 2) The cover page |
| ㆍ This should contain the title of an article, full names of authors and institutional affiliation(s). If several authors and institutions are listed, they should be clearly indicated with which department and institution each author is affiliated with superscripts as "1", "2" ..., and etc., beginning at the second organization. In a separate paragraph, address for correspondence, including the name of corresponding author, address (institutional affiliation, city, zip-code and country), telephone and fax numbers, and email address, should be given. Information concerning the sources of financial support should be placed as a footnote. |
| |
| 3) The title page |
| ㆍ Put only the title of the manuscript on the title page. |
| |
| 4) Abstract |
| ㆍThis should not exceed 250 words and should be provided on a separate page. |
| ㆍThe abstract should be constructed under the following subheadings: Purposes, Materials and Methods, Results, and Conclusion. |
| ㆍDescribe each item separately in the following order. |
| Purpose: In one or two sentences, indicate the specific purpose of the article, and indicate why it is worthy of attention. The purpose stated here must be identical to the one given in the title of the paper and the introduction. |
| Materials and Methods: Describe succinctly the methods used to achieve the purpose explained in the first paragraph, stating what was done and how, how bias was controlled, what data were collected, and how the data were analyzed. |
| Results: The findings of the methods described in the preceding paragraph are to be presented, with specific data. All results should flow logically from the methods described. |
| Conclusion: In one or two sentences, state the conclusion of the study. This must be related directly to the purpose of the papers, as defined in the first paragraph of the abstract. |
| ㆍDo not use abbreviations or reference citations. |
| ㆍAt the bottom of the abstract, select up to 4 key words from the current Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in Index Medicus. Refer the website "http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html". |
| |
| 5) Introduction |
| ㆍBriefly describe the purpose of the investigation, including relevant background information. |
| |
| 6) Materials and Methods |
| Describe the research plan, the materials (or subjects), and the methods used, in that order. When experimental methodology is the main issue of the paper, describe the process in detail so as to recreate the experiment as closely as possible. |
| |
| 7) Results |
| Present these in a clear, logical sequence. Since biometrics involves variations in exact measurements, follow the rule of using statistics when experimentation is described. If tables are used, do not duplicate tabular data in the text, but do describe important trends and points. |
| |
| 8) Discussion |
| Observations pertaining to the results of research and other related materials should be interpreted for your readers. Emphasize new and important observations; do not merely repeat the contents of the results. Explain the meaning of the observed opinion along with its limits, and within the limits of the research results connect the conclusion to the purpose of the research. In a concluding paragraph, summarize the result and its meaning. |
| |
| 9) References |
| ㆍStart on a separate page, numbering the references consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text. |
| ㆍAll references should be cited in the text, and in the text indicate the reference with superscription with Arabic numerals. |
| ㆍJournal titles should be abbreviated according to the Index Medicus. |
| ㆍAll authors are to be listed when six or fewer; when there are seven or more, the first six should be given, followed by 'et al'. |
| ㆍAfter writing the authors’ last names first, the initial of their first and middle names should be capitalized. |
| ㆍFor all references, the starting page and the last page numbers are to be given. |
| ㆍThe formats are illustrated in the following examples. |
