Aims and
Scope
The Journal
of Innovative Research in Oncogenic Pathways is
an open access, peer-reviewed online journal
that will emphasize clinical and scientific
cancer research, and computational biology
studies, which leads toward the discovery of new
knowledge in oncology and cancer
biology. The journal will
publish manuscripts on following research areas:
Pathology, histology, genetics,
genomics, proteomics, biomaterials, chemistry,
bioinformatics, physical chemistry (mass
spectrometry and radio imaging), cancer
modeling, and cancer surveillance.
Types of
manuscript submissions
Research
articles - include scholarly studies of
scientific practice, information needs, tool
development, scientific rhetoric, data
representation methods, etc... Researchers are
also encouraged to submit literature-based
discovery or data mining findings that follow
systematic methodology and that make clear,
testable, nontrivial experimental predictions
that deserve the attention of a wide community
of scientists.
Case
studies - describe and critically evaluate
individual laboratories, research groups or
training programs - for example, how they
attempt to foster discovery and collaboration,
how they monitor productivity, lessons learned
that can be generalized to other programs, and
an analysis of factors that determine the rate
of progress.
Focus
articles
-
short, opinionated, narrowly focused articles on
issues of contemporary
interest.
Reviews - comprehensive, authoritative,
descriptions of any subject within the scope of
the journal. These articles are usually written
by opinion leaders that have been invited by the
Editorial Board.
Software
articles -
describe tools designed to enhance productivity,
data mining, creative thinking, data synthesis,
collaborative work, and so on. These tools must
be available to the public, and need not
necessarily be specific to scientific work but
should be applicable to scientists. The article
must contain some formal evaluation, either of
system performance or of user
behavior.
Submissions
All papers
will be submitted online to the main editorial
office and sent out for review, generally to two
peer reviewers. Reviewers, who are asked to
provide anonymous reviews within four weeks of
receipt, will consider whether the paper is
novel, scientifically sound, topically relevant,
balanced, coherent, complete and shows adequate
literary quality and scholarship. In case of a
split decision, a third review may be sought or
an editorial decision may be made. All papers,
regardless of article type, will be peer
reviewed and open access. Because the journal is
directed at a broad multidisciplinary audience,
prospective authors should make an attempt to
minimize the use of specialized jargon and
provide a brief overview or glossary for
non-specialists. Articles that are
scientifically sound, but judged too narrow in
focus, may be declined. Articles are accepted in
MS-Word or pdf formats, there is no submission
fee, publication fee for each accepted article
is $150 USD. Articles for consideration are to
be directed to the editor through
