BASIC RULES FOR PUBLICATION

Manuscripts will only be considered for publication in CJNM if the following conditions, as applicable, are fulfilled:

1.

Ethical considerations: Manuscripts are accepted for consideration with

the understanding that they have not been published or submitted or are

under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors investigating

the chemistry of a single species should aim to publish their results in

a single manuscript rather than in a series of papers. Manuscripts

should not report fragmentary parts of a larger study. Papers that have

been presented as proceedings at scientific meetings are acceptable.

Ethical standards with respect to the acquisition of studied materials,

chemical and biological hazards, animal use and care, and human subjects

must be strictly followed. Evidence of assurance to ethical standards

may be presented by the authors, or may be required by the

Editor-in-Chief of CJNM. For studies involving experimental animals,

reference must be made to principles of laboratory animal care or

similar regulations and to the specific approval of the described study

protocol by a local ethical committee. The approval number and the

corresponding date must be provided.

2.

Plant materials (and other organisms): Samples should be properly

identified and their location and date of origin given. The scientific

name (in italics) of the organism, the author of the name, and the

family must be given. It should be indicated who identified and

authenticated the materials used in the study and his/her affiliation.

The manuscript must include details of voucher specimens of the plant

material (deposited in a major national or regional herbarium).

3.

Isolation of compounds: Only new compounds with biological activity

will be considered for publication. The submission of articles

describing the isolation of known compounds, or the determination of a

simple derivative of a known compound is not acceptable. Extraction and

isolation procedures should be described in detail. The type and amount

of materials, solvents, and extraction methods must be indicated. The

description of chromatographic systems should contain the quantitative

information and all analytical conditions such as column dimensions,

mobile phase, elution program, fraction size, and yields of all

isolates.

4.

Biological, pharmacological, and clinical investigations of extracts:

The detailed extract characterization should be included. Spectroscopic

(e.g., NMR or mass) and/or chromatographic profiling (e.g., HPLC profile

with at least the major peaks identified) should be included;

qualitative and quantitative information on the active or typical

constituents should be provided. The investigation must clearly indicate

concentration/dose-activity dependence in comparison with a reference

compound (positive control).

5.

Biological screening: Papers dealing with the biological screening of a

meaningful number of extracts of plants or other organisms can be

considered for publication. Identification of the materials tested must

be properly documented, and preparation of the extracts must be clearly

described. Biological activities for extracts and compounds should be

reported by listing IC50 values, or at least a dose-response

relationship as shown by using at least two test concentrations.

Positive controls (reference compounds) must be included for all

biological studies. Classification of “active” and “inactive” samples

should follow accepted international standards for the biological test

system.

6.

Analytical studies: Key data on method validation must be provided and

should typically include information on specificity, linearity, limit of

detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, intermediate

precision, and robustness studies. Information on the purity of

reference compounds and the methods used for the determination of purity

must be given. Recoveries of extraction and sample pre-purification

steps must be indicated. Adequate statistical analysis is required.

Analytical studies of a routine nature will not be considered for

publication.

7.

Clinical studies: All clinical trials must be designed, implemented,

and analyzed in a manner to meet current international standards,

especially for randomized controlled trials. Reference must be made to

approval of the study by a local ethical committee for human subject

research. The approval number and the corresponding dates of the

approved trial must be provided. All clinical trials should be

appropriately registered in an international database (www.

clinicaltrials.gov). The registration information must be provided.
