Principles to be followed for writing your article
Microsoft Word processor file formats are acceptable for manuscripts submitted to Auctores journals: DOC and DOCX.
The article should be self-contained and arranged in a suitable sequence: title, list of authors, affiliations, author order, correspondence, abstract, keywords, abbreviations, text, methods, references, supplementary information if applicable, acknowledgements, author commitments, author data containing data-deposition and competing-interest statements, corresponding-author line, tables, and figure legends.
Manuscript Structure
Author Affiliation
Name, affiliation, institution, university, city, state, and country should be disclosed.
Corresponding Author
Include name, affiliation, institution, university, city, state, country, telephone, fax, and email.
Abstract
The abstract should be informative, precise, and brief, generally 100–150 words, with context, aim, methods, results, and conclusion.
Keywords
Provide 4–8 keywords used repeatedly in the article, separated by semicolons.
Abbreviations
Use standard abbreviations, expand every abbreviation properly, and avoid abbreviations in the title unless expanded.
Nomenclature And Measurements
Use SI units and accepted binomial nomenclature. Use DDBJ or GenBank accession numbers for gene and amino-acid sequences.
Manuscript Title
Use a brief phrase that represents the contents of the article. Abbreviations should be expanded.
Article Sections
Introduction
The Introduction may reflect the quality of the article. It should provide a realistic delivery of the study, the appropriate literature on the topic, and the projected methodology or result. It needs to attract the reader’s attention across a wide reach of scientific disciplines.
Materials And Methods
This section should encompass the complete outline of the study. Details of materials or participants, evaluations, descriptions of interventions, and types of investigations should be included. Advanced trials should be stated clearly, and specific variations of published techniques should be cited briefly.
The Methods section should be subdivided according to the research work, with subheadings and sub-subheadings denoting the methods applied. Subsections for statistics, reagents, and animal models are also considered. A clear statement of approval from the institutional, university, or national ethical committee should be obtained when animal or human subjects are used. A recordkeeping ID or number should be furnished for clinical trials on human subjects. There must be no repetition between the Methods section and any Supplementary Information.
Units
Units should have a single space between the number and the unit, and should follow SI nomenclature or the terminology standard for the specific field.
Figures And Tables
Figures and tables should be submitted as individual files. Authors must ensure that all figures and tables have a legend and are cited in the text in consecutive order. All submitted figures must be high resolution and in .jpg or .tiff format. Tables should not be submitted in image or figure format. Scanned images or figures with copyrights are not accepted. If a published figure or table is reused, authors must provide copyright permission from the publisher and cite it properly.
Results And Discussion
This section should furnish complete details of the experiments that support the conclusion. Results and Discussions may be merged or separated. Assumption and descriptive scrutiny of information should not be included in the Results section, but may be included in the Discussion.
Acknowledgement
Acknowledgements should include individuals, grant particulars, funds, or resources, and conflict-of-interest information. Author contributions such as study design, data collection, and article preparation should be mentioned. All listed authors are responsible for the content and subsequent revisions of the article. Financial support from university, institute, public, or private sectors should be stated, including the funding source, grant number, and grant holder name. Grantees from NIH or Wellcome Trust may submit the final accepted article for inclusion in the PMC public access repository.
Appendix
Appendix or supplementary data should be submitted in a separate file and cited in the text. Supplementary data may include figures, tables, and text with citations that support the study. An exceptional link will be provided to the supporting information on the journal web page and is not charged.
References
The text contained within each article should include appropriate references in consecutive order. References should be up to date and cited correctly. Authors are requested to submit references in the prescribed format.
Copyrights, Retraction, Erratum, and Corrigendum
Authors need to transfer the copyrights to the publisher as soon as the article is accepted under the relevant license. This permits distribution, reprocessing, and reprinting of the published work, including tables, figures, supplementary data, and any part of the article. Authors retain patent, trademark, and intellectual-property rights including the original findings of their work.
If a published work or part of it, such as figures, tables, or text, is reproduced, the corresponding author is responsible for obtaining copyright permission from the previous publisher and providing evidence where necessary.
Retraction/Removal
Scientific errors and misconduct should not compromise the accuracy or systematic quality of a journal. When authors fail to observe the ethical code, or when plagiarism or copied content is identified, an article may be retracted. A notification with reasons will be published, with a citation and web link to the retraction note. In cases of substantial discussion about a published article, letters may be published to exchange the matter.
Erratum
An erratum provides corrections for writing, editing, typesetting, table, or figure errors and is published in a succeeding issue.
Corrigendum
A corrigendum contains corrections submitted by authors for a published article. Corrections should not modify the results or conclusion. Errors in measurement units, strain identification, authorship, or affiliations may be changed when the corresponding author submits a statement with the corrections and approval from all co-authors.
Commitments for Authors
Auctores supports the Budapest Open Access Initiative. Authors retain their copyright and publish their work under a Creative Commons license. Authors may publish through an article processing charge covered by the author or a sponsor.
Maintaining Research Results
The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review, both by collaborators before publication and by other scientists for a reasonable period after publication. Exceptions may be appropriate in certain circumstances to preserve privacy, assure patent protection, or for similar reasons.
Fabrication of data is an egregious departure from the expected norms of scientific conduct, as is selective reporting of data with the intent to mislead or deceive, as well as the theft of data or research results from others.
Publication and Authorship
The authors’ central obligation is to present a concise, accurate account of the research performed and an objective discussion of its significance. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to public sources of information to permit others to repeat the work.
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others used in a research project must always be given. Authors should cite publications that influenced the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, such as through conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or reported without explicit permission from the investigator with whom the information originated. Information obtained through confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, cannot be used without permission of the author of the work being used.
Guidelines for requesting permission for reuse of published materials
Authors must obtain permission for the use of any previously published materials from the original publisher. Proof of permission must be provided before manuscripts containing previously published material can be published. Proper credit lines for all previously published material must be included.
Re-use of Material from Conference Proceedings
Auctores Publishing allows authors to make fair and reasonable re-use of material from their conference proceedings article. This re-use must comply with the standards and ethics of scientific publishing. Conference proceedings should be viewed in the same way as any other publication, and re-use must follow the standard ethical principles that apply to duplicate publication.
Whether a new submission meets a journal’s standards depends on the degree of overlap with the prior publication and the nature of the new material. Editors decide whether an author has applied fair and reasonable re-use standards or whether an article derived from a conference proceeding has enough additional material to warrant publication. Authors deriving a journal article from their proceedings paper must obtain copyright permission from the original publisher if figures or tables are reused and should cite the proceedings paper.
