(a)

full title; (b) Each authors’ names, academic degrees, and affiliations

(if Chinese, give standard English version); (c) the designated

corresponding author’s name, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers,

and e-mail address; (d) source(s) of financial support of the study;

(e) the total word count of the manuscript, including the title page,

letter of the given name (e.g., HE Jianxing, LI Bo).

Address

format: Department of Ophthalmology, the First People’s Hospital

Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai 200080, China

Funding Sources

All

sources of support for the research should be listed under the address,

with the serial number in parentheses. All grant funding agency

abbreviations should be completely spelled out.

Peer review process

Manuscripts

that are found suitable for publication in JTCM are sent to two or more

expert reviewers. 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.

Ethical Policy

For

reports of clinical trails, authors should state the information about

institution and ID when the study is registered (e.g., Trial

registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN73824458). For reports of

randomized controlled trials, authors should refer to the CONSORT 2010

Statement, which can be found at http://www.consort-statement.org.

When

reporting experiments on human subjects, the study must be performed in

accordance with international ethical standards and approved by

equivalent human ethics committee. 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 “Methods” section.

Conflicts of Interest

All

authors 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 conflicts of interest with

products that compete with those mentioned in their manuscript. A

conflict of interest may exist when an author (or the author’s

institution or employer) has financial or personal relationships or

affiliations that could influence (or bias) the author’s decisions,

work, or manuscript.

Abbreviations and Terminology

Use

only standard abbreviations and spell out all abbreviations in full on

their first appearance in the text followed by the abbreviation in

parentheses. Do not use abbreviations in the title or key words and

limit their use in the text.

Herbs

should be presented by their common, pharmaceutical and pinyin or Latin

names. All acupoints must be named by its pinyin transliteration

followed by the alphanumeric system in parentheses, e.g., Zusanli (ST36)

or Hegu (LI4). Acupuncture terms should be conformed to the World

Health Organization nomenclature.

Drugs and Devices

Recommended

international non-proprietary name is required. When the drugs and

devices are used in research, the name of the manufacturer and their

location (city and country) should be presented in parentheses after the

first mention in the Methods section.

Abstract and Keywords

Provide

a structured abstract of not more than 350 words for original articles.

Abstracts of original experimental and clinical research papers should

consist of four paragraphs, Objective, Methods, Results and Conclusions.

They should state the purpose of the study or investigation, basic

procedures, main findings (give specific data and their statistical

significance), and the conclusions. Do not cite references in the

abstract.

Provide

3-8 key words that capture the main topics of the article below the

abstract. Use terms from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) list of

MEDLINE/PubMed, and Chinese traditional medicine and materia medica

subject headings.

Text

Text

should be Word text document in Times New Roman font, single spaced,

with page numbers. The text is usually divided into sections with

typical main headings such as Introduction, Materials and Methods,

Results, and Discussion. For the format details, authors can refer to

latest articles published in 2013.

Tables

Be

sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in

tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

Limit tables to those that adequately and concisely present findings

without redundancy. Do not use vertical lines between columns. Use

horizontal lines above and below the column headings and at the bottom

of the table only.

Number

tables consecutively in accordance with their first citation in the

text using Arabic numerals and supply a brief descriptive title for each

table. Identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard

deviation and standard error of the mean. Identify statistical

significance by superscripts in front of the probabilities (P), as in:

aP > 0.05, bP < 0.05, cP < 0.01 vs A. Define all abbreviations

used in the table in footnotes to the table.

Figures and Legends

Submit

publication quality figures (graphs, charts, photographs, and

illustrations) in TIF file format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

Do not embed figures in word, create a separate figure file together

with a reference set of annotated versions, and send it as an

attachment. Name each figure as the following format: Author name space

figure number (in sequence, using Arabic numerals - i.e. Figures 1, 2, 3

etc.). The graphs and charts imported into the word-processing program

from spreadsheet programs (e.g., Microsoft Excel) should be left in its

original format and not converted to graphic elements, so that we can

modify or redraw it to meet our specifications for publication when

pertinent.

Number

all figures consecutively in the text. Figures should be professionally

drawn or photographed. Titles and detailed explanations should be given

in the figure legend. Abbreviations must be explained. Figures with

multiple parts should be labeled and referred to as A, B, C, etc. For

photomicrographs, include the type of specimen, original magnification

or a scale bar, and stain should be identified. For gross pathology

specimens, label any rulers with unit of measure.

Statistical Methods and Units of Measurement

Statistical

methods should be described in sufficient detail to assess the

appropriateness of the statistical analysis used. Statistical terms,

abbreviations, and symbols must be defined, and computer software must

be specified. Exact P values should be provided, unless P < 0.0001.

Units

of measurement should be reported in terms of International System of

Units (SI). Measurement of length, height, weight and volume should be

written in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal

multiples.

References

Cite

references in the text sequentially in the Vancouver numbering style,

as a superscripted number after any punctuation mark. For example: DZP

has an anti-tumor effect in clinical observation14 and experimental

research.15 Note: For the continuous references, if three or more, just

mark the first and last ones with hyphen, while only two, separated by a

comma.

References

should be numbered sequentially in the order in which they are first

cited in the text, under half width punctuation input mode. List the

authors (surname, initials), title of the article, name of the journal

or book, year, volume, and the first and last pages. List all authors

when there are six or fewer; when there are seven or more, list the

first three, followed by "et al". The titles of journals should be

abbreviated according to the style used in MEDLINE/PubMed. Besides

English, other western languages can be listed directly. Chinese should

be translated into English, with the journal title in pinyin.

Authors

are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references

and for correct text citation. References must be current, and links

should be added for the references included in PubMed. Use of references

more than 10 years old is discouraged unless they are classic or unique

works. Do not cite personal communications, unpublished observations,

and submitted manuscripts.
