Journal of Laser Dentistry: Guidelines for Authors The Academy of Laser Dentistry Welcomes Your Articles for Submission The Journal of Laser Dentistry publishes articles pertaining to the art, science, and practice of laser dentistry. Articles may be scientific and clinical in nature discussing new techniques, research, and programs, or may be applicationsoriented describing specific problems and solutions. While lasers are our preferred orientation, other high-technology articles, as well as insights into marketing, practice management, regulation, and other aspects of dentistry that may be of interest to the dental profession, may be appropriate. All articles are peer-reviewed prior to acceptance, modification, or rejection. These guidelines are designed to help potential authors in writing and submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Laser Dentistry, the official publication of the Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD). Please follow these instructions carefully to expedite review and processing of your submission. Manuscripts that do not adhere to these instructions will not be accepted for consideration. The Academy of Laser Dentistry and the editors and publisher of the Journal of Laser Dentistry endorse the “Uniform Requirements of Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” (www.icmje.org). The Journal reserves the right to revise or rescind these guidelines. Authors are advised to read the more comprehensive Guidelines for Authors and required forms available by mail or online at www.laserdentistry.org. Manuscript Eligibility Submitted manuscripts must be written clearly and concisely in American English and appropriate for a scholarly journal. Write in active voice and use declarative sentences. Manuscripts will be considered for publication on the condition that they have been submitted exclusively to the Journal, and have not been published or submitted for publication in any part or form in another publication of any type, professional or lay, or in any language elsewhere, and with the understanding that they will not be reprinted without written consent from both the managing editor and the author. Permissions Direct quotations of 100 or more words, and illustrations, figures, tables, or other materials (or adaptations thereof) that have appeared in copyrighted material or are in press must be accompanied by written permission for their use in the Journal of Laser Dentistry from the copyright owner and original author along with complete information regarding source, including (as applicable) author(s), title of article, title of journal or book, year, volume number, issue number, pages. Photographs of identifiable persons must be accompanied by valid signed releases indicating informed consent. When informed consent has been obtained from any patient, identifiable or not, it should be noted in the manuscript. The appropriate Permission Letters must be submitted with the manuscript. Suggested template letters are available online. Copyright All manuscript rights shall be transferred to the Journal of Laser Dentistry upon submission. Upon submission of the manuscript, authors agree to submit a completed Copyright Transfer Agreement form, available online. If the manuscript is rejected for publication, all copyrights will be retained by the author(s). Commercialism ALD members are interested in learning about new products and service offerings, however ALD stresses that submitted manuscripts should be educational in nature. The emphasis is on scientific research and sound clinical and practical advice, rather than promotion of a specific product or service. Disclosure of Commercial Relationships According to the Academy’s Conflict of Interest and Disclosure policy, manuscript authors and their institutions are expected to disclose any economic or financial support, as well as any personal, commercial, technological, academic, intellectual, professional, philosophical, political, or religious interests or potential bias that may be perceived as creating a conflict related to the material being published. Such conditions may include employment, consultancies, stock ownership or other equity interests, honoraria, stipends, paid expert testimony, patent ownership, patent licensing arrangements, royalties, or serving as an officer, director, or owner of a company whose products, or products of a competitor, are identified. Sources of support in the form of contracts, grants, equipment, drugs, material donations, clinical materials, special discounts or gifts, or other forms of support should be specified. The roles of the study or manuscript sponsor(s), if any, are to be described. Disclosure statements are printed at the end of the article following the author’s biography. This policy is intended to alert the audience to any potential bias or conflict so that readers may form their own judgments about the material being presented. Disclosure forms are to be signed by each author. Manuscripts will not be reviewed without the Journal having this form on file. The Academy of Laser Dentistry also requires that authors disclose whether any product discussed in their manuscript is unlabeled for the use discussed or is investigational. The Disclosure Statement form is available online and must be submitted with the manuscript. Manuscript Types Submissions to the Journal should be limited to one of the types indicated below. • Scientific / Technology / Clinical Review • Case Reports and Clinical Case Studies • Scientific / Clinical Research • Randomized Clinical Trials • Advances in Dental Products • Trends • Practice Management • Guest Editorials and Essays • Letters to the Editor • Book Reviews Manuscript Preparation and Submission Format All submitted manuscripts should be double-spaced, using 12 pt. font size with at least 6 mm between lines.
