A manuscript will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that
it is being submitted to The Annals of Clinical Prosthodontics
alone at that point in time and has not been published anywhere, simultaneously
submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. The journal expects that
authors would authorize one of them to correspond with the Journal for all matters
related to the manuscript. All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged. On submission,
editors review all submitted manuscripts initially for suitability for formal review.
Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific or technical flaws,
or lack of a significant message are rejected before proceeding for formal peer-review.
Manuscripts that are unlikely to be of interest to the The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic
Society readers are also liable to be rejected at this stage itself.
Manuscripts that are found suitable for publication in The Annals of Clinical
Prosthodontics are sent to two or more expert reviewers. During submission,
the contributor is requested to provide names of two or three qualified reviewers
who have had experience in the subject of the submitted manuscript, but this is
not mandatory. The reviewers should not be affiliated with the same institutes as
the contributor/s. However, the selection of these reviewers is at the sole discretion
of the editor. The journal follows a double-blind review process, wherein the reviewers
and authors are unaware of each other’s identity. Every manuscript is also assigned
to a member of the editorial team, who based on the comments from the reviewers
takes a final decision on the manuscript. The comments and suggestions (acceptance/
rejection/ amendments in manuscript) received from reviewers are conveyed to the
corresponding author. If required, the author is requested to provide a point by
point response to reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript.
This process is repeated till reviewers and editors are satisfied with the manuscript.
Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print
style, and format. Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author. The corresponding
author is expected to return the corrected proofs within three days. It may not
be possible to incorporate corrections received after that period. The whole process
of submission of the manuscript to final decision and sending and receiving proofs
is completed online. To achieve faster and greater dissemination of knowledge and
information, the journal publishes articles online as ‘Ahead of Print’ immediately
on acceptance.

The Annals of Clinical Prosthodontics favors registration of clinical
trials and is a signatory to the Statement on publishing clinical trials in Indian
biomedical journals. The Annals of Clinical Prosthodontics would
publish clinical trials that have been registered with a clinical trial registry
that allows free online access to public. Registration in the following trial registers
is acceptable:
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/; http://isrctn.org/; http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp;
and http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr.
This is applicable to clinical trials that have begun enrollment of subjects in
or after June 2008. Clinical trials that have commenced enrollment of subjects prior
to June 2008 would be considered for publication in The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic
Society only if they have been registered retrospectively with clinical trial registry
that allows unhindered online access to public without charging any fees.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to each of the
three components mentioned below:
|
|
|
Concept and design of study or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation
of data;
|
|
|
Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
and
|
|
|
Final approval of the version to be published.
|
|
Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does
not justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not sufficient
for authorship. Each contributor should have participated sufficiently in the work
to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content of the manuscript.
The order of naming the contributors should be based on the relative contribution
of the contributor towards the study and writing the manuscript. Once submitted
the order cannot be changed without written consent of all the contributors. The
journal prescribes a maximum number of authors for manuscripts depending upon the
type of manuscript, its scope and number of institutions involved (vide infra).
The authors should provide a justification, if the number of authors exceeds these
limits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contributors should provide a description of contributions made by each of them
towards the manuscript. Description should be divided in following categories, as
applicable: concept, design, definition of intellectual content, literature search,
clinical studies, experimental studies, data acquisition, data analysis, statistical
analysis, manuscript preparation, manuscript editing and manuscript review. Authors'
contributions will be printed along with the article. One or more author should
take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole from inception to published
article and should be designated as 'guarantor'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All authors of must disclose any and all conflicts of interest they may have with
publication of the manuscript or an institution or product that is mentioned in
the manuscript and/or is important to the outcome of the study presented. Authors
should also disclose conflict of interest with products that compete with those
mentioned in their manuscript.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All manuscripts must be submitted on-line through the website http://www.kpjonline.com. First time users will have
to register at this site. Registration is free but mandatory. Registered authors
can keep track of their articles after logging into the site using their user name
and password. Authors do not have to pay for submission, processing or publication
of articles. If you experience any problems, please contact the editorial office
by e-mail at editor@kpjonline.com
The submitted manuscripts that are not as per the “Instructions to Authors” would
be returned to the authors for technical correction, before they undergo editorial/
peer-review. Generally, the manuscript should be submitted in the form of two separate
files:
|
|
|
[1] Title Page/First Page File/covering letter :
|
|
This File Should Provide
|
|
|
The type of manuscript (original article, case report, review article, Letter to
editor, Images, etc.) title of the manuscript, running title, names of all authors/
contributors (with their highest academic degrees, designation and affiliations)
and name(s) of department(s) and/ or institution(s) to which the work should be
credited, . All information which can reveal your identity should be here. Use text/rtf/doc
files. Do not zip the files.
|
|
|
|
|
The total number of pages, total number of photographs and word counts separately
for abstract and for the text (excluding the references, tables and abstract), word
counts for introduction + discussion in case of an original article;
|
|
|
|
|
Source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these;
|
|
|
Acknowledgement, if any. One or more statements should specify 1) contributions
that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general support by
a departmental chair; 2) acknowledgments of technical help; and 3) acknowledgments
of financial and material support, which should specify the nature of the support.
This should be included in the title page of the manuscript and not in the main
article file.
|
|
|
|
|
If the manuscript was presented as part at a meeting, the organization, place, and
exact date on which it was read. A full statement to the editor about all submissions
and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant publication of the same
or very similar work. Any such work should be referred to specifically, and referenced
in the new paper. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted
paper, to help the editor decide how to handle the matter.
|

Original articles : These include randomized controlled trials,
intervention studies, studies of screening and diagnostic test, outcome studies,
cost effectiveness analyses, case-control series, and surveys with high response
rate. The text of original articles amounting to up to 3000 words (excluding Abstract,
references and Tables) should be divided into sections with the headings Abstract,
Key-words, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, References,
Tables and Figure legends.
Introduction : State the purpose and summarize the rationale for
the study or observation.
Materials and Methods: It should include and describe the following aspects:
Ethics : When reporting studies on human beings, indicate whether
the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible
committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) and with the Helsinki
Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 (available at http://www.wma.net/e/policy/17-c_e.html).
For prospective studies involving human participants, authors are expected to mention
about approval of (regional/ national/ institutional or independent Ethics Committee
or Review Board, obtaining informed consent from adult research participants and
obtaining assent for children aged over 7 years participating in the trial. The
age beyond which assent would be required could vary as per regional and/ or national
guidelines. Ensure confidentiality of subjects by desisting from mentioning participants’
names, initials or hospital numbers, especially in illustrative material. When reporting
experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution’s or a national research
council’s guide for, or any national law on the care and use of laboratory animals
was followed.
Evidence for approval by a local Ethics Committee (for both human as well as animal
studies) must be supplied by the authors on demand. Animal experimental procedures
should be as humane as possible and the details of anesthetics and analgesics used
should be clearly stated. The ethical standards of experiments must be in accordance
with the guidelines provided by the CPCSEA and World Medical Association Declaration
of Helsinki on Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Humans for studies
involving experimental animals and human beings, respectively). The journal will
not consider any paper which is ethically unacceptable. A statement on ethics committee
permission and ethical practices must be included in all research articles under
the ‘Materials and Methods’ section.
Study Design : Selection and Description of Participants: Describe
your selection of the observational or experimental participants (patients or laboratory
animals, including controls) clearly, including eligibility and exclusion criteria
and a description of the source population. Technical information: Identify the
methods, apparatus (give the manufacturer's name and address in parentheses), and
procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results.
Give references to established methods, including statistical methods (see below);
provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but
are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons
for using them, and evaluate their limitations. Identify precisely all drugs and
chemicals used, including generic name(s), dose(s), and route(s) of administration.
Reports of randomized clinical trials should present information on all major study
elements, including the protocol, assignment of interventions (methods of randomization,
concealment of allocation to treatment groups), and the method of masking (blinding),
based on the CONSORT Statement (http://www.consort-statement.org).

Statistics : Whenever possible quantify findings and present them
with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence
intervals). Authors should report losses to observation (such as, dropouts from
a clinical trial). When data are summarized in the Results section, specify the
statistical methods used to analyze them. Avoid non-technical uses of technical
terms in statistics, such as 'random' (which implies a randomizing device), 'normal',
'significant', 'correlations', and 'sample'. Define statistical terms, abbreviations,
and most symbols. Specify the computer software used. Use upper italics (P 0.048).
For all P values include the exact value and not less than 0.05 or 0.001. Mean differences
in continuous variables, proportions in categorical variables and relative risks
including odds ratios and hazard ratios should be accompanied by their confidence
intervals.
Results : Present your results in a logical sequence in the text,
tables, and illustrations, giving the main or most important findings first. Do
not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize or
summarize only important observations. Extra- or supplementary materials and technical
detail can be placed in an appendix where it will be accessible but will not interrupt
the flow of the text; alternatively, it can be published only in the electronic
version of the journal.
When data are summarized in the Results section, give numeric results not only as
derivatives (for example, percentages) but also as the absolute numbers from which
the derivatives were calculated, and specify the statistical methods used to analyze
them. Restrict tables and figures to those needed to explain the argument of the
paper and to assess its support. Use graphs as an alternative to tables with many
entries; do not duplicate data in graphs and tables. Where scientifically appropriate,
analyses of the data by variables such as age and sex should be included.
Discussion : Include summary of key findings (primary outcome measures,
secondary outcome measures, results as they relate to a prior hypothesis); Strengths
and limitations of the study (study question, study design, data collection, analysis
and interpretation); Interpretation and implications in the context of the totality
of evidence (is there a systematic review to refer to, if not, could one be reasonably
done here and now?, what this study adds to the available evidence, effects on patient
care and health policy, possible mechanisms); Controversies raised by this study;
and Future research directions (for this particular research collaboration, underlying
mechanisms, clinical research). Do not repeat in detail data or other material given
in the Introduction or the Results section. In particular, contributors should avoid
making statements on economic benefits and costs unless their manuscript includes
economic data and analyses. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has
not been completed. New hypotheses may be stated if needed, however they should
be clearly labeled as such. About 30 references can be included. These articles
generally should not have more than six authors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Review Articles : It is expected that these articles would be written
by individuals who have done substantial work on the subject or are considered experts
in the field. A short summary of the work done by the contributor(s) in the field
of review should accompany the manuscript. The prescribed word count is up to 3000
words excluding tables, references and abstract. The manuscript may have about 90
references. The manuscript should have an unstructured Abstract (250 words) representing
an accurate summary of the article. The section titles would depend upon the topic
reviewed. Authors submitting review article should include a section describing
the methods used for locating, selecting, extracting, and synthesizing data. These
methods should also be summarized in the abstract. The journal expects the contributors
to give post-publication updates on the subject of review. The update should be
brief, covering the advances in the field after the publication of the article and
should be sent as a letter to editor, as and when major development occurs in the
field.
Case Reports : New, interesting and rare cases can be reported.
They should be unique, describing a great diagnostic or therapeutic challenge and
providing a learning point for the readers. Cases with clinical significance or
implications will be given priority. These communications could be of up to 1000
words (excluding Abstract and references) and should have the following headings:
Abstract (unstructured), Key-words, Introduction, Case report, Discussion, Reference,
Tables and Legends in that order. The manuscript could be of up to 1000 words (excluding
references and abstract) and could be supported with up to 10 references. Case Reports
could be authored by up to four authors.
Letter to the Editor : These should be short and decisive observations.
They should preferably be related to articles previously published in the Journal
or views expressed in the journal. They should not be preliminary observations that
need a later paper for validation. The letter could have up to 500 words and 5 references.
It could be generally authored by not more than four authors.
Other : Editorial, Guest Editorial, Commentary and Opinion are
solicited by the editorial board.
References : References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they
are first mentioned in the text (not in alphabetic order). Identify references in
text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in superscript with square bracket
after the punctuation marks. References cited only in tables or figure legends should
be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification
in the text of the particular table or figure. Use the style of the examples below,
which are based on the formats used by the NLM in Index Medicus. The titles of journals
should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. Use complete
name of the journal for non-indexed journals. Avoid using abstracts as references.
Information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted should be cited in the text
as "unpublished observations" with written permission from the source. Avoid citing
a "personal communication" unless it provides essential information not available
from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication
should be cited in parentheses in the text. The commonly cited types of references
are shown here, for other types of references such as newspaper items please refer
to ICMJE Guidelines (http://www.icmje.org or http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html).
