Kim: Don't take following the guidelines for granted
Writing scientific papers can sometimes be a daunting process, yet it is the most rewarding and fundamental way to contribute to the academic development. Universally, the quality of publications is one of the most widely accepted criteria by which scholars' performance is evaluated, therefore the importance of going through the writing and publishing process with extreme care and attention cannot be stressed enough. There is no doubt that every author would want to write the most impressive paper. Unfortunately, the reality is rather rough mainly because what makes a good paper involves several aspects including well-planned and devised experiments and unprecedented and innovative ideas. Once published, however, an excellent paper will allow authors to share their meaningful findings that are supported by their results to the public, providing the readers with a reference that can be later cited.
With regards to scientific publications, following the rules and formatting specific to every journal is just as important as having high-quality content. This can be easily achieved by making sure to check the journal's guidelines along the writing process. We, the Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science (JPIS), provide manuscript templates on our official website for our authors' convenience.
Authors submitting their manuscripts to JPIS are required to have a cover page that includes an intriguing title that best represents their work as well as the authors' full names in order of first, middle, and last names without information about their degrees and positions. We also require all authors to use Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), which supports automated linkages among all authors' professional activities, so that every contributor can be correctly distinguished from others.
In addition, the contributions of all authors should be described in cover page of the manuscript using the CRediT Taxonomy of author roles. They should be precisely reflected as following 14 categories: Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Software, Supervision, Validation, Visualization, Writing - original draft, Writing - review & editing. All authors must meet at least 1 of the 7 core contributions (Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Investigation, Methodology, Software, Validation), as well as at least 1 of the writing contributions (Writing - original draft preparation and Writing - review & editing). Authors could also satisfy the other remaining contributions; however, these remaining contributions alone would not qualify them for authorship.
Research articles in JPIS should be structured as following section headings: INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Authors should also keep in mind that our manuscript templates have helpful comments regarding the guidelines for tables and figures. For those who are seriously considering JPIS as the potential journal of choice, we look forward to having your manuscripts and all your hard work will be further appreciated when the submitted files reflect careful reading of our ‘Instructions to Authors.’
