Baishideng Publishing Group(BPG)目前出版47本同行评议的开放获取期刊,研究领域涵盖临床医学多个方向,以及与人类健康密切相关的生物化学和分子生物学领域。其中,以下6本期刊已被SCIE收录:World Journal of Diabetes、World Journal of Gastroenterology、World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology、World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery、World Journal of Psychiatry以及World Journal of Stem Cells。
在实际投稿过程中,百世登期刊在文稿格式、投稿系统设置以及修回材料方面均有其细致且独特的要求。提前了解这些细节,有助于减少不必要的返修与沟通。以下结合笔者实际投稿经验,对此进行梳理总结。
一、百世登出版社期刊的格式调整特殊要求
1. Title
文稿标题需简要概括研究主题,长度不宜过长。期刊明确要求:
“The title will concisely summarize the main topic of the study, being not overly long (no more than 18 words).” 即文稿标题不得超过18个英文单词。
2. Running Title
需提供短标题,长度同样有明确限制:
“A short running title of no more than 6 words should be provided.” Running Title 不超过6个英文单词,可使用常见缩写。
3. Core Tip
百世登期刊要求作者提供Core Tip,用于概述文稿核心内容。官方说明为:
“Please write a summary of no more than 100 words to present the core content of your manuscript, highlighting the most innovative and important findings and/or arguments.” Core Tip不超过100个英文单词,需突出研究中最具创新性和重要性的发现或观点,其目的在于吸引读者阅读全文并提升文章影响力。
4. 作者设置
在作者署名方面,期刊明确规定:
“No more than 2 co-first authors / co-corresponding authors.” 即最多允许2位共同第一作者,以及2位共同通讯作者。
二、投稿过程中的注意事项
1. 第一作者年龄与版面费减免
在投稿第一步Manuscript General Information中,系统提供填写First Author’s Date of Birth的选项,对应说明为:
“Preferential Article Processing Charge. If an unsolicited manuscript has a first author who is a young scholar under 45 years-old, the preferential Article Processing Charge will be charged. If the first author is a young scholar under 45 years-old, please fill in his/her date of birth”
若第一作者年龄在45岁以下,填写出生日期可享受10%的版面费减免。需要注意的是,该信息仅在初次投稿阶段可填写,修回阶段无法补填。
2. 24小时投稿时限
完成第一步信息填写后,点击Save and Continue,系统会提示:
“A manuscript No. has been created, you should complete the submission within 24 hours.Otherwise, this submission will be locked, and you will not be able to continue submitting the manuscript.”
点击Confirm后系统即开始计时,24小时内未完成投稿,稿件将被锁定,无法继续提交,因此需尽快完成后续投稿步骤。
3. 初次投稿文件上传要求
百世登期刊要求初次投稿时一次性上传完整文稿:
“The full manuscript, including main text, table(s), and figure(s) should be uploaded at one time.Please embed the main text, table(s), and figure(s) in a single manuscript file (Word or PDF) and remove all editing tracks and notes.” 即正文、表格和图片需整合在同一个Word或PDF文件中,图表不单独上传,通常放置在文稿末尾,同时需删除所有修订痕迹和批注。
4. 必需的证明文件
投稿系统中Non-Native Speakers of English Editing Certificate(语言润色证明)为必传项。
涉及人体研究的文稿,还需上传Institutional Review Board Approval Form(伦理审批文件)及Signed Informed Consent Form(知情同意书);
涉及动物实验的研究,则需提供Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Approval Form(动物伦理委员会审批文件)。
三、修回阶段的注意事项
1. 修回期限
杂志社通常给予14天修回时间,若时间不足,可通过邮件申请延期,杂志社一般都会同意。
2. 修回时的文稿格式
修回阶段,文稿各部分内容需逐项粘贴至投稿系统,系统最终会生成一个Word文件,因此需确保修回稿严格符合期刊格式要求。 对于Case类型文章,期刊明确指出:
“Under the heading of Case Presentation, the following seven aspects must be presented in this order: 1) Chief complaints; 2) History of present illness; 3) History of past illness; 4) Personal and family history; 5) Physical examination upon admission; 6) Laboratory examinations; and 7) Imaging examinations.”
完整结构应为:
INTRODUCTION,CASE PRESENTATION(依次包括主诉、现病史、既往史、个人及家族史、入院体格检查、实验室检查及影像学检查),FINAL DIAGNOSIS,TREATMENT,OUTCOME AND FOLLOW UP,DISCUSSION,CONCLUSION。
3. 原始图片文件
修回阶段需提供可编辑的原始图片文件,期刊要求:
“Authors should provide the original figure documents. Please prepare and arrange the figures using PowerPoint to ensure that all graphs and/or design components (such as arrows) and/or text portions can be reprocessed by the journal’s editorial staff, and finally upload it to the file destination of Image File.” 即所有图片需以PPT格式整理后上传至Image File。
4. Audio Core Tip
为吸引读者阅读全文,期刊还要求:
“We request that the first author make an audio file describing the final core tip.” 即由第一作者录制最终Core Tip的音频文件。
5. 其他修回必需材料
若研究涉及统计学分析,需提供Biostatistics Review Certificate(统计学审查证明);
通讯作者需完成Conflict-of-Interest Disclosure Form(利益冲突声明表);
修回阶段系统会向每位作者邮箱单独发送邮件,确认Copyright License Agreement(版权许可协议),所有作者确认后下载并上传完整协议;
同时还需提交更新版本的Non-Native Speakers of English Editing Certificate(语言润色证明),如研究获得基金支持,也需提供相应的Approved Grant Application Form or Funding Agency Proposal’s Approval Document(基金批准文件)。
以上为百世登出版社期刊投稿及修回过程中常见的格式与流程要求总结。提前了解并严格按照要求准备,有助于减少返工、提高投稿效率。希望对大家投稿有所帮助,谢谢。
