About the journal
|
The Journal of Health Science is published by the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, and covers all aspects of health science. The Journal will publish high quality original research related to health, as effected by nutrients, endogenous factors, chemicals (including drugs), and microorganisms, employing the techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology, toxicology, and epidemiology. Reports on analytical methods and experimental techniques are also within the scope of the Journal. |

Instructions to Authors
The Journal will accept original and innovative submissions in English from both members and non-members of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, on the understanding that the work is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Types of Manuscript
The Journal publishes Regular Articles, Rapid Communications, Research Letters, Reviews and Minireviews. With the exception of Reviews and Minireviews, manuscripts will be reviewed by two or more referees, whose opinions will form the basis of the final decision by the Editor.
(1) Regular Articles
New, significant, innovative and original findings are suitable as Regular Articles. Whilst the Journal does not publish Short Communications, relatively short Regular Articles are also acceptable if the work is of a high quality.
(2) Rapid Communications
These articles should be 4 or less printed journal pages. Manuscripts are reviewed rapidly. Authors are informed of the editor's decision by FAX or E-mail within 2 weeks after reception of the manuscript. The editor's decision is either acceptance or rejection for publication, and no revision process will take place. Responsibility for the scientific contents of a manuscript remains with the author. In the case of rejection, a short explanation only will be provided. When submitting Rapid Communications, please include a floppy disk containing the text and any figures, tables etc.
(3) Research Letters
Research Letters should occupy 3 printed journal pages or less. Manuscripts containing interesting findings without adequate discussion, research results of narrow scope or of a predominantly negative nature may nevertheless be suitable for publication as a Research Letter if they are considered sufficiently important. Subjects of relevance to health science, for example DNA sequences of unknown genes and transcriptional regulation regions etc, are also suitable as Research Letters. Manuscripts containing valuable data obtained in field work are also acceptable. When it is necessary to present a relatively large amount of data in field work, the paper may extend to more than 3 printed pages.
(4) Reviews and Minireviews
Reviews and Minireviews are submitted by invitation from the Editorial Board, and encompass recent important scientific discoveries. Minireviews mainly involve a description of recent research results from the author's laboratory. Reviews are more broad based. Whilst Reviews do not have a page limit, Minireviews should be 3 pages or less of printed Journal space.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts (in triplicate) should be submitted to :

Manuscript Preparation
(1) Manuscript Form: All manuscripts should be typewritten in English on A4 paper, double space (24 lines per page, approx. 70 strokes per line). Since after printing, one page contains about 4300 characters, please take care when preparing the paper to not exceed the allowed length for the specific type of manuscript. The top (title) page should be numbered 1 at the bottom center. All subsequent pages should be numbered consecutively.
(2) Title Page: The title page (page 1) should start with the title, name(s) of the author(s) and affiliation and mailing address. An asterisk (*) should be added to the right of the corresponding author's name. Below the authors address(es) should be included the type of manuscript (Regular Article, Research Letter etc. ) and the corresponding author's name, address, telephone number, fax number, and E-mail address.
(3) Summary and Keywords: Page 2 should contain a summary of less than 250 words and 3 to 6 descriptive key words, listed in order of importance. The first 3 key words must be independent, as they will be used in a key-word combination in the index.
(4) Main Text: The main text should start from page 3 and be divided into the follow sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References. It is also acceptable to merge the Results with the Discussion in the form: Results and Discussion.
(5) Abbreviations and Units: Abbreviation must be spelled out in full at their initial appearance, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, the abbreviation may be employed. The following units should be used: length (m, cm, mm, nm, 版m, ), mass (kg, g, mg, 版g, ng, pg, mol, mmol), volume (l, ml, 版l), time (sec, min, hr), temperature (), radiation (Bq, Ci, Sv, Gy), concentration (M, mM, mol/l, mmol/l, mg/ml, 版g/ml, %, % (v/v), ppm, ppb).
(6) Figures: In principle, figures prepared by the author will be used in the printed version of the journal. All figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers, and figure titles and legends are to be typed consecutively on a separate sheet. All figures should be prepared on A4 paper, and the authors name should be added at the top of each page.
(7) Tables: Tables should be typed on A4 paper and numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers. Any explanations of data or methods in the table should be directly below the table.
(8) References: References should be placed and numbered in the order of appearance in the text. Each number is to be positioned after the last relevant word with a right-half parenthesis mark, and all references should be collected together at the end of the text. Abbreviations for Journals should conform to Chemical Abstracts nomenclature.
Examples of References are as follow :
1) Kubo, U., Hwang, G. H. and Suzuki, H. (2000) Cloning and functional characterization of copper transporter. J. Health Sci., 46, 135-140.
2) Albert, B. and Hardin, T. D. (1998) Metal Toxicology in Mammals, Madison Press, New York.
3) Meister, B., Revel, T. M. and Caprio, M. N. (1999) Molecular mechanism of cell death. In Handbook of Health Science (Clarke, A. and Young, T. A., Eds.), Carrie Press, Tokyo, pp.135-137.
(9) Notes: Notes should be given in parentheses at the appropriate place in the text. Footnotes are not permitted.
Ethics
In scientific investigations involving human subjects, experiments should be performed in accordance with the ethical standards formulated in the Helsinki Declaration of 1964 (revised in 2000, cf. http://ohsr.od.nih.gov/). Similarly, animal experiments should follow the ethical standards formulated in the guidelines issued by the Science and International Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, No.141, 1987: "Animal Experiments in Universities etc."
