Information for Contributors
EDITORIAL POLICY:
The Yonsei Medical Journal (YMJ) is a peer-reviewed journal of medicine published in English on the 1st of every month. The goal of the Yonsei Medical Journal (YMJ) is to publish high quality manuscripts dedicated to clinical or basic research. Any authors affiliated with an accredited biomedical institution may submit manuscripts of original articles, review articles, brief communications, case reports, technical reports, and letters to the Editor. Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publications, and that the review process is conducted in a double-blind manner such that the identities of both the reviewers and authors are kept confidential. The Editors reserve the right to make corrections, both literary and technical, to the papers. The agreement of copyright transfer from all authors should be sent after manuscript acceptance. A copyright transfer form is available at the journal homepage.
ETHICS:
<Research Ethics>
All of the manuscripts should be prepared based on strict observation of research and publication ethics guidelines recommended by the Council of Science Editors (http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/), International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, http://www.icmje.org/), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME, http://www.wame.org/), and the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE, https://www.kamje.or.kr/board/view?b-name=bo-publication&bo-id=7). It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that a patient’s anonymity be carefully protected.
Any study involving human subject or human data must be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the author’s affiliated organization. Please refer to the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki (https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/doh-oct2008/). Animal studies should be performed in compliance with relevant guidelines and approved by the IRB. A statement regarding IRB approval should be included in the Materials and Methods section.
<Redundant Publication and Plagiarism>
Redundant publication is defined as “reporting (publishing or attempting to publish) substantially the same work more than once, without attribution of the original source(s).” Characteristics of reports that are substantially similar include the following: (a) “at least one of the authors must be common to all reports (if there are no common authors, it is more likely plagiarism than redundant publication),” (b) “subjects or study populations are the same or overlapped,” (c) “methodology is typically identical or nearly so,” and (d) “results and their interpretation generally vary little, if at all.”
When submitting a manuscript, authors should include a letter informing the editor of any potential overlap with other already published material or material being evaluated for publication, and should also state how the manuscript submitted to YMJ substantially differs from other materials. If all or part of your patient population was previously reported, this should be mentioned in the Methods section, with citation of appropriate reference(s). The YMJ editorial committee subjects all submitted manuscripts to screening through Turnitin (https://www.turnitin.com/) for plagiarism prior to publication.
<Clinical Trials>
Obligation to register
Clinical trial defined as “any research project that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention and comparison groups to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome” should be registered to the primary registry to qualify as prior publication. YMJ accepts registration in any of the primary registries are part of the WHO International Clinical Trials Portal (http://www.who.int/ictrp/en/), NIH ClinicalTrials.gov (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/), ISRCTN Resister (www.ISRCTN.org), or Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS), Korea CDC (http://www.cdc.go.kr/CDC/eng/main.jsp). Clinical trial registration number should be published at the end of the abstract.
<Authorship>
The Yonsei Medical Journal (YMJ) follows the recommendations for authorship proposed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, 2019, http://www.icmje.org). The recommendations are as follows: “Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND 2) drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND 3) final approval of the version to be published; AND 4) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Author contributions will be published with the final article, and they should accurately reflect contributions to the work. The submitting author is responsible for completing this information at submission, and it is expected that all authors would have reviewed, discussed, and agreed to their individual contributions prior to submission of the manuscript for review for publication.
YMJ permits up to two first co-authors and two corresponding authors.
YMJ does not allow authorship correction after publication unless the editorial staff made an obvious mistake. Before publication, authorship can be changed in cases when all authors request the authorship correction.
<Conflicts of Interest>
Any potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed in this section. If there are no potential conflicts of interest, the following statement should be added: “The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose.”
<Description of Participants>
Ensure correct use of the terms “sex” (biological factors) and “gender” (identity, psychosocial, or cultural factors). Also, unless inappropriate, report the sex or gender of study participants, the sex of animals or cells, and describe the methods used to determine sex or gender. If the study involved an exclusive population (in only one sex, for example), authors should justify why, except in obvious cases (e.g., prostate cancer). Authors should also define how they determined race or ethnicity, and justify their relevance.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION:
Authors should submit manuscripts via the online submission system: http://journal.eymj.org/. Acceptance of manuscripts is based on many factors, including the importance, originality, and priority of the research. The Editor-in-Chief and an Associate Editor generally review manuscripts. Then the selected manuscripts are reviewed by at least two external peer reviewers, and when required, a biostatistician. Upon completion of the review, authors will receive notification of the Editor’s decision by e-mail with comments offered by the reviewers. The author(s) can recommend up to 3 candidates to review the manuscript. Revised manuscripts must be submitted within 3 months of the date on the decision letter in order to maintain their original manuscript number.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT:
Authors should refer to “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” (http://www.icmje.org/). On the cover letter, authors should make a statement about the originality of their work and disclose previous presentations, reports, or publications that contain any material that appears in the manuscript. If there is a similar or supplemental publication, the authors should provide a copy for the Editors' review. Manuscripts should be written in double space throughout.
REVIEW ARTICLE:
Review articles are usually solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. However, unsolicited Reviews will be also considered. Authors should contact the Editor-in-Chief in advance to determine the appropriateness of their Review Articles for publication. Unsolicited Reviews will undergo peer review. An Abstract is required whereas Materials and Methods section and a Results section are not required. The length of Review Articles is limited to 5,000-8,000 words with a maximum of 100 references. Also, there should be no more than 3 authors.

This may include mention of papers most closely related to the article, and of the problem. (2) Materials and Methods: Explanation of the experimental methods should be concise but sufficient to allow other workers to reproduce the results. This provides the technical information, apparatus (the manufacturer’s name and brief address) and procedures. Give references and brief descriptions for the methods that have been published.

(3) Results: This should include a concise textual description of the data presented in tables and figures. (4) Discussion: This section includes the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions. The data should be interpreted concisely.
