Wake Forest Journal of Science and Medicine

The Wake Forest Journal of Science and Medicine showcases high-quality research from our institution and beyond.

Journal Inquiries and Submissions

WFJSM@wakehealth.edu

The Wake Forest Journal of Science and Medicine is run entirely by students who believe in promoting relevant discoveries in clinical or lab science, medical cases, and perspectives on healthcare to the larger scientific community. We aim to educate students about the importance of an objective and rigorous peer-review process and to uphold the established Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.

Original Research

Articles should describe an account of hypothesis-based research in science and medicine. Length should not exceed 5,000 words (including figure legends). Include an abstract of 200 words or less. The body text should contain 5 sections: Introduction, Methods and Materials, Results, and Discussion.

Case Reports

Articles are descriptive reports of one patient or family. Length of case reports should not exceed 4,000 words (including figure legends), 3 tables and figures. Case reports submitted by students must receive prior approval from a faculty member.

Challenge Cases

Reviews

Articles are critical reviews of topics related to science and medicine. Length should not exceed 10,000 words (including figure legends), 10 figures or tables. No more than 150 references should be cited in the review. Include an abstract of 200 words or less. 

Perspectives

Perspective articles are intended to briefly highlight current issues of relevance to medicine and healthcare, as well as discussions of the history of medicine. The Perspectives section welcomes submissions and aims to provide a forum to discuss models and ideas for medicine and healthcare from a personal viewpoint. With this objective in mind, we ask authors to provide a balanced presentation to stimulate further discussion of the issue. Length should not exceed 1000 words (including figure legends), 2 figures or tables.

Manuscript Submissions

Peer Review

All manuscripts will be assessed by editors and may undergo a peer-review process. Manuscripts will be evaluated for scientific accuracy.

Editorial decisions will be

  1.  Reject with review
  2.  Reject or accept with revision

Ethical Considerations

All submissions will be checked for plagiarism. The WFJSM uses the definition of plagiarism written by Dr. Miguel Roig for the DHHS Office of Research Integrity. Plagiarism is therein defined as: “Appropriating an idea (e.g., an explanation, a theory, a conclusion, a hypothesis, a metaphor) in whole or in part, or with superficial modifications without giving credit to its originator... Copying a portion of text from another source without giving credit to its author and without enclosing the borrowed text in quotation marks… Self-plagiarism occurs when authors reuse their own previously written work or data in a ‘new’ written product without letting the reader know that this material has appeared elsewhere.” - http://ori.hhs.gov/images/ddblock/plagiarism.pdf.  

Corrections and Retractions

Since the Wake Forest Journal of Science and Medicine is released annually, there is ample time for corrections before print publication and every effort will be made to ensure that errors are caught in the editing process. In regards to honest errors that are found after publication, the Wake Forest Journal of Science and Medicine will follow the ICMJE’S guidelines for corrections. Corrected versions of manuscripts will be electronically published with the previous version archived. Pervasive errors that invalidate previous results may lead to replacement of the manuscript altogether. Citations will be linked to the newest manuscript. 

Misconduct

The Wake Forest Journal of Science and Medicine agrees with the ICMJE’s definition of misconduct as including but not limited to data fabrication, data falsification including deceptive manipulation of images, purposeful failure to disclose conflicts of interest, and plagiarism. In regards to misconduct, staff will follow procedures delineated by the COPE flowcharts.  Manuscripts submitted by authors who have knowingly engaged in misconduct will not be reviewed for publishing. Manuscripts that have already been published will be labelled as ‘retracted’ online with an explanation for the retraction.

Permissions and Copyright

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permissions to republish or reproduce any previously published material from the copyright holder of the original source. The authors of manuscripts contained in the WFJSM grant WFJSM exclusive worldwide first publication rights and further grant a nonexclusive license for other uses of the manuscripts for the duration of their copyright in all languages, throughout the world, in all media. Copyright ownership of these articles remains with the authors. Authors may be asked to complete and sign a copyright form.

Authors must refrain from submitting work which they have published or hope to publish elsewhere. This practice will ensure that authors' works meet the ICMJE's standards regarding overlapping publications.
