Nutritional Neuroscience
Nutritional Neuroscience is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based journal for reporting both basic and clinical research in the field of nutrition that relates to the central and peripheral nervous system. Studies may include the role of different components of normal diet (protein, carbohydrate, fat, moderate use of alcohol, etc.), dietary supplements (minerals, vitamins, hormones, herbs, etc.), and food additives (artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, etc.) on neurochemistry, neurobiology, and behavioral biology of all vertebrate and invertebrate organisms. Ideally this journal will serve as a forum for neuroscientists, nutritionists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and those interested in preventive medicine. The following are examples of some of the specific topics the journal may cover: |
 |
1. Effect of diet (including trace metals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients), dietary supplements, and food additives on the metabolism and physiology of central and peripheral neurons, neurotransmitters, neurotransmitter receptors, behaviour (learning, memory, anxiety, etc.), and neuroendocrine regulations
2. Demonstration of neuroactive substances (hormones, peptides and neuromodulator substances) in food.
3. Use of diet and dietary supplements (protein, carbohydrate, fat, caffeine, tryptophan, etc.) in the management of psychiatric disorders.
4. Dietary perturbation of the symptoms of psychiatric disorders.
5. Dietary considerations in the management of neurologic disorders like epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
6. Diet and sleep.
Diet and mental performance.

INTRODUCTION
As Taylor and Francis move into the delivery of journals in electronic It is essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to established specifications. The effectiveness of the search capabilities offered by electronic delivery will depend on the care authors use in preparing their manuscripts. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscript for compliance with these notes before submitting it for publication.
TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
Full-length research papers: A full length research paper should normally occupy six to ten printed pages (approximately 4,000-7,000 words).
Short Communications: Short communications should occupy no more than four pages (not more than 2,500 words) including up to four figures and/or tables and twenty references. They are expected to be reports of complete studies rather than preliminary investigations.
Clinical Case Reports: Clinical case reports should occupy no more than two pages (not more than 1250 words) including up to two figures and/or tables and ten references. They are expected to be reports of a single or a series of related clinical cases that are novel and present a unique perspective on the role of nutrition and diet in the etiology and/or management of diseases of the nervous system.
Scientific Correspondence and Commentary: This section is designed to provide a forum for the exchange of practical information, advice and opinions. The opinions and advice expressed are not necessarily those of the editors or the Journal, and publication will be at the editors' discretion.
Reviews: Reviews will be published regularly and by invitation only but we welcome suggestions for timely topics and potential authors for reviews. Authors should submit a summary and outline of the proposed review article for consideration by the Editor-in-Chief before beginning work on the manuscript. Each review should normally be no longer than ten printed pages.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS Manuscripts should be written in English and submitted to the Editor-in-Chief (an original and four copies). Submission of a paper to Nutritional Neuroscience will be taken to imply that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication, and that you grant to the Publisher the right to pre-publish the abstract of the paper and the references contained therein in any print or electronic medium. It is a condition of acceptance by the editor of a typescript for publication that the typescript will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the editor in chief and Publisher, and that the Publisher acquires automatically the copyright in the typescript throughout the world and may publish the paper in any print or electronic medium.
- Disk submission: Authors are advised to provide electronic copies of all manuscripts once they are accepted for publication in Nutritional Neuroscience. Instructions for disk submission appear as the last section of `Instructions to Authors'.
- Fax submission: Manuscripts for short communications may be submitted by fax. Indicate clearly the number of pages transmitted. If the Editor-in-Chief considers the illustrations of insufficient quality for the review process, authors will be advised to send original prints. Authors should send a disk containing the file (see `Disk Submission' above) and a hard copy of the manuscript after it has been accepted.
EXPERIMENTS ON HUMANS AND ANIMALS Authors must follow the international statutes on human and animal experiments. All experiments on human subjects must be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The `Materials and Methods' section of the manuscripts must he accompanied by a statement that all procedures were carried out with written consent of the subjects.
All animal experiments must be carried out in accordance with the UK Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act of 1986 and the associated guidelines, the European Communities Council Directives of 24 November 1986 (861609IEEC) or the National Institute of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH Publications No.8023, revised 1978).
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS Papers should be typed double-spaced with wide margins (3 cm) on one side of good quality paper, complete with full title, abstract, abbreviated title for running headlines (up to 35 characters), four to six key words, references, and figures. Except for short communications and reviews, each paper should be presented in the following order: title page, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgements, references, tables and figure legends. Short communications should include an abstract, as above, but should not contain any headings. Experimental details should be included in the legends to figures. Short communications reporting new experimental protocols or modifications to existing protocols can display these, if need be, in the form of a figure or table.
- Title page: The title page should include, in addition to the title, the surnames and initials of each author followed by his or her department, institution and address including zip code/postcode and country. A footnote should be used to designate the author to whom correspondence should be addressed, along with telephone and FAX numbers and an E-mail address, if available. The current address of an author, if different from that shown in the affiliation, should also appear as a footnote on the title page. The title page should also indicate the number of manuscript pages, figures, and tables.
- Keyword: Four to six keywords should be listed in alphabetical order at the bottom of the title page.
- Abstract: This should be no more than 200 words in length, should summarize the significant findings and should not contain any references.
- Text Headings: Set first-level headings in the text over to the left, typed all in capitals (upper case) and in bold; begin the text on the following line. Second-level headings should be typed with initial capital letter, in small lower case letters and in bold. For third-level headings, type similarly but not in bold. For fourth-level headings, type the entire heading in italics with only the first letter of the first word capitalized.
FIRST-LEVEL HEADINGS
Second-level Headings
Third-level Headings
Fourth-level headings
- Acknowledgements: Acknowledgements should be included at the end of the text.
- References: References are cited in the text by authors' names (et al. should be used for papers authored by more than two persons) and year of publication. If you are citing more than one publication for one year by the same authors, use suffix a, b or c after the year of publication. Some examples are: Smith et al., 1997; Imamura and Debata, 1996; Honan et al., 1995a and Honan et al., 1995b.
All references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. References should list author's last name followed by initial(s), year, title of the article, full name of the journal (in italics), volume, and inclusive page numbers:

Unpublished results (including articles submitted for publication) or personal communications should be cited as such within the text. It is assumed that, with the development of the World Wide Web (WWW), authors and/or the publishers will propose distribution of articles or parts of articles on the WWW. If the author knows the HTTP address of a referenced article of the WWW, this information should be added at the end of the references. Please use the following style:
where http://www.blouk.com/article.html is the HTTP address.
- Footnotes: There should be minimal use of footnotes. A footnote may include the designation of a corresponding author of the paper, current address information for an author (if different from that shown in the affiliation), and it will appear at the bottom of the title page. Grant support of research should appear in a separate Acknowledgements section at the end of the paper, not in a footnote. Acknowledgements of the assistance of colleagues or similar note of appreciation also properly belong in an Acknowledgements section, not in footnotes.
- Footnotes should be indicated in the text by the following symbols: * (asterisk or star), (dagger), (double dagger), ?(paragraph mark), ?(section mark), || (parallels), # (number sign). Do not use numerals for footnotes call-outs, as they may be mistaken for bibliographical reference call-outs or exponents. Footnotes within a table should be indicated by the same symbols listed above. Type footnotes to a table directly beneath the table.
- Figure Legends: All figure legends should be typed on a separate sheet, be numbered with consecutive arabic numbers, have descriptive legends, and be mentioned in the text. Keep figures separate from the text, but indicate an approximate position for each figure in the margin.
- Illustrations: The quality of line drawings and photographs must be of a high enough standard for direct reproduction. No additional artwork redrawing or typesetting will be done. Photographs intended for halftone reproductions must be glossy original prints of maximum contrast. Illustrations should be prepared to fit either into a single column width (75 mm) or double column width (160 mm), in the case of line drawings, after 50% reduction. All lettering must be clearly legible and be not less than 4 mm in height. Clearly label (on the back with a #2 pencil) each illustration with the author's name(s), figure number and indicate the 'top'.
- Colour Pages: A limited number of colour plates will be considered and printed free of charge if and when it is deemed necessary to the research. In certain cases it will be necessary to reproduce colour plates in black and white in the print copy of the journal, though plates can be reproduced in colour in the online edition upon request.
- Tables: Tables should be consecutively numbered with arabic numbers and have a clear descriptive title at the top. Explanatory table footnotes are acceptable (please also see Footnotes).
- Abbreviations and Conventions: Abbreviations that are nonstandard should be defined in the text when first used. Whenever possible restrict the use of abbreviations to SI (Systeme Internationale) symbols.
IDENTIFICATION OF REVIEWERS
To expedite the review process, authors may submit names, telephone & FAX numbers, and E-mail address (if available) of two-four potential reviewers (referees) of the manuscript. Authors also may indicate (if necessary) individuals who should not be asked to review the manuscript.
TEXT CALL-OUTS TO FIGURES, TABLES ETC. Text call-outs to figures, tables and other elements are the basis for searching articles on electronic delivery. Therefore, proper designation of text call-outs to figures and other elements is essential to the success of electronic delivery. When referring to a figure, table or other element within an article, always call the element by its full name: `See Table 1', `Figure 1 illustrates... ', `Refer to Scheme 1'. Do not use ambiguous call-outs (for example, `1 illustrates... ') that do not clearly denote the element being referred to.
SUBMISSION OF ANIMATION
Author-supplied animation related to articles accepted for publication will be included in the journal CD-ROM at no cost to authors. Animations are limited to a line duration of 30 seconds. Animations should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief with the final manuscript, after the paper has been accepted for publication.
Animation in the following forms (in order of preference) can be accepted from authors:
- Video tape
- AVI or Quick Time files
- A sequence of still images
The following formats can be accepted:
- All uncompressed formats widely used on PC, Mac and UNIX
- JPEG for colored and compressed images
- TIFF with a group IV compression on black and white images
- FLI and FLC format from AutoDesk
Authors who submit animation are requested to provide the following information:
- Video-tape - format used
- AVI or Quick Time files - version used and system used for disk file creation.
- Sequence of still images - format used, version used and system used for disk file creation.
Authors who are unable to supply videotape, AVI, or QuickTime files may provide the publisher with a set of sequential still images. Note that an animated sequence will consist of 13 to 15 still images per second of animation; e.g., if an animated sequence is 10 seconds in duration, it is made up of 130 images. Authors who are unable to submit in any of the above-mentioned formats are advised to contact the publisher to discuss other options with publisher prior to submission.
Animation should be mentioned in the text. Indicate an approximate location for the animation call-out in the margin.
PROOFS
The corresponding author will receive proofs (including copies of figures) by airmail for correction, and these must be returned to the printer within 48 hours of receipt. Please ensure that a full postal address, telephone and fax numbers and E-mail, if available, are given on the title page of the manuscript so that proofs are not delayed in the post. Authors' alterations in excess of 10% of the original composition cost will be charged to authors.
REPRINTS
The corresponding author receives 25 free reprints. Additional reprints may be ordered by completing the appropriate form supplied with the proofs.
PAGE CHARGES
There are no page charges to individuals or institutions.
SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES ON DISK
The publisher welcomes articles submission on disk. Disk files should be submitted with the final, accepted, hard copy manuscript. The disk file and hard copy must match exactly. Where there is any difference the disk copy will be assumed to be final.
When typing the article do not include design or formatting information. Type all text flush left, unjustified and without hyphenation. Do not use indents, tabs or multi-spacing. If an indent is required, please note it by a line space; also mark the position of the indent on the manuscript. Indicate the beginning of a new paragraph by typing a line space. Leave one space only after any punctuation mark. Be sure not to confuse the letter `l' with the number `1', or a capital `O' with zero `0'. Do not use automatic page numbering or any other header or footer.
Tables and displayed equations may have to be re-keyed by the typesetter from your hard copy manuscript. Articles prepared on most word-processing packages are acceptable. If equations and/or scientific symbols have been imported from another program, please include details of the program used and the procedures followed. If author created macros have been used, please include them as well.
Illustrations that are available in an electronic format are acceptable; please supply them on a separate disk. Please clearly indicate on the disk the file format and/or program used to produce them, and supply a high quality hard copy of the illustration. If more than one disk is submitted, please number each disk. Please mark each disk with the journal title, author name, abbreviate article title and file names. Retain a back-up copy of each disk submitted and pack the disks carefully before shipping. Complete the Disk Specifications form that appears at the back of the journal (forms may also be obtained from the publisher) and submit it with the disk and hard copy of the manuscrip
