Submission of the manuscripts is online via the link “Submit Manuscript” at the menu of the journal website (https://jjp.ajums.ac.ir). To submit a manuscript for the first time, you have to create an account using the “Register” link on that page. For the next times, just log in using your account. All submitted papers go through a similarity check using Ithenticate software.
Jundishapur Journal of Physiology welcomes original contributions in different areas of Physiology (See Aims and Scope). Types of accepted papers include research articles, review articles, and etl.
Original Articles should not exceed 4000 words (including all sections). This article should contain the following sub-headings:
Article title: The article title represents the research's subject and purpose (up to 20 words).
Abstract: The abstract should include the research problem, objectives, method and materials, the general results, and the conclusion (150 to 250 words).
Keywords: The keywords (Up to 5 keywords) should be included due to their importance at the abstract's bottom. Their Persian equivalents should appear in the same order in the Persian abstract. During the manuscript's registration by the non-Iranian authors, the English keywords should also be repeated in the Persian keywords section.
Background and Objectives: The Background section should concisely explain the study's purpose and rationale, avoiding extensive discussion, data presentation, or conclusions. The Objectives must be clearly articulated to define the study’s aims and intended outcomes.
Materials/Patients and Methods: This section should provide a detailed description of the procedures, observations, or experiments conducted. When specific equipment is used, full manufacturer details (including name and country) must be included. Standard methods should be properly cited, while novel methods must be described in sufficient detail to allow for reproducibility. Information on any medications used should include their generic names, dosages, and methods of administration. Furthermore, all statistical methods, software programs, and information systems employed in the analysis must be specified.
Results: Results should be presented clearly using narrative text, tables, and figures. References to table and figure numbers should be made in the text without duplicating their content. For lengthy manuscripts, the use of subheadings within the Results section is encouraged to improve clarity and organization.
Discussion: The Discussion should interpret the study’s findings in the context of existing literature, highlighting similarities or discrepancies with other relevant research. Detailed repetition of results should be avoided. Emphasis should be placed on the novel and significant aspects of the study. The section should conclude by addressing whether the initial hypothesis was confirmed, refuted, or remains inconclusive.
Conclusion: This section should succinctly summarize the principal findings and their broader implications, providing a clear and coherent closure to the manuscript.
References: Accurate referencing is essential for supporting claims and acknowledging prior work. Authors must format references according to the vancover Style guidelines.
By adhering to these instructions, authors can ensure their manuscripts meet the rigorous academic and editorial standards required by journal, thereby enhancing the likelihood of publication acceptance.
"Short Communications" should not exceed 1000 words (including all sections). As with "Original Articles", manuscripts submitted as Short Communications should be novel. Furthermore, Short Communication should include no more than 20 cited references, and no more than 2 tables/figures.
Short Communication articles should contain the following 6 sub-headings*:
For the initial submission, the authors have to just send the main manuscript file and the signed Form of the journal. While preparing manuscripts for initial submission, authors are kindly requested to follow the guidelines, described below:
This section describes the format requirements of the revised versions of manuscripts based on the journal’s template.
The manuscript file should be saved in the native format of the word processor (*.doc or *.docx).
Original research papers, review papers, and application papers submitted to JJP should conform to a maximum length of 10, 15, and 10pages respectively when formatted using our double-column template. Only in rare cases with the approval of the Editor-in-Chief this limit can be violated. The page limit includes all content such as the abstract, figures, references, and appendices. All pages should be numbered.
Papers must be typed using 10 pts standardized Times New Roman font in double-column and single-spacing format.
All papers must be written in English. If English is not your first language, you should ask an English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper. Papers that fail to meet basic standards of literacy are likely to be un submitted by the Editorial Office. To avoid unnecessary errors, you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of the Microsoft Word processor.
5. Title
The paper title should be placed in the center on the top of the first page with all the important words capitalized in “Times New Roman” bold sized 14pts font.
These should immediately follow the title. For multiple-authored articles, list the full names of all the authors, followed by the postal addresses, using identifiers to link an author with an address where necessary. If an author's present address is different from the address at which the work was carried out, this should be given as a footnote. All co-authors must be listed on the manuscript submission and peer review site as part of the submission process.
The abstract should be informative and suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services as a self-contained article. It should not exceed 250 words. It should indicate the general scope and also state the main results obtained, the methods used, the value of the work, and the conclusions drawn. No figure numbers, table numbers, references, or displayed mathematical expressions should be included. The abstract should be included in both the manuscript submission and peer review site submission steps and in the submitted paper.
The list of 3 to 5 keywords should be provided below the abstract.
The manuscript text should be divided into some sections, like Introduction, Model description, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments, and References. The introduction and conclusion are compulsory. Each section can include sub-divisions. All the section headings should be numbered using a multi-level numbering style.
1. Position
Figures, tables, and other variants of representations should be placed within the text (in-line with text) at the appropriate point.
2. Resolution
Figures will be reproduced exactly as supplied, with no redrawing or relabeling. It is therefore imperative that the supplied figures are of the highest possible quality. The clarity of the presentations is mandatory for accepted manuscripts. The resolution of the figures should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).
3. Numbering
Figures and tables should be numbered separately and consecutively. Each figure and each table should be explicitly referred to in the text in numerical order. A short descriptive caption below each figure and above each table is essential.
References
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a separate section at the end of the manuscript. It is recommended to use EndNote software and “vancover” referencing style for this journal. For Examples (click here)
