Policies

Policy on Preproduction
The Journal of Neuroscience generally does not consider manuscripts that have been previously published. An exception is made for manuscripts that have been posted on the Internet for the purpose of receiving commentary from the community. Such posting is typically done at a prepublication repository that has been designed for the purpose, but posting on an institutional web site or other Internet location is acceptable.

It is essential that the authors retain the copyright for any prepublished versions of a manuscript that they submit to the Journal, and that they are willing and able to relinquish to the Journal any copyrights and/or licenses that the Journal requires for publication of accepted manuscripts.

Authors should realize that many other journals will not consider prepublished manuscripts and that prepublication will restrict their alternatives when a manuscript is not accepted by the Journal.

Policy on Concerning Availability of Materials
It is understood that by publishing a paper in The Journal of Neuroscience the author(s) agree to make freely available to colleagues in academic research any clones of cells, nucleic acids, antibodies, etc. that were used in the research reported and that are not available from commercial suppliers.

Policy on DNA Sequences
In general, only complete genomic and cDNA sequences will be accepted for publication. The accuracy of the sequence must be confirmed by analyses of both strands. By the time a paper is sent to press, sequences must be deposited in a database generally accessible to the neuroscience community; the sequence accession number should be provided. Exceptions to this policy may be considered on an individual basis.

Policies on the Use of Animals and Humans in Neuroscience Research
All animal experimentation reported in the Journal must have been conducted in accordance with the Society's Policies on the Use of Animals and Humans in Neuroscience Research.

Policy on Ethics
It is expected that authors submitting papers to The Journal of Neuroscience will have conducted their work in strict accordance with the Society's Policy on Ethics.

Responsible Conduct Regarding Scientific Communication
Manuscripts must conform to the Responsible Conduct Regarding Scientific Communication.
