Redox ReportEditors
Editorial Advisory Board
Aims and ScopeRedox Report is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal focusing on the role of free radicals, oxidative stress, activated oxygen, perioxidative and redox processes, primarily in the human environment and human pathology. However, relevant papers on the animal and plant environment, biology and pathology will also be included. While emphasis is placed upon methodological and intellectual advances underpinned by new data, the journal offers scope for review, hypotheses, critiques and other forms of discussion. From 1999 (Volume 4), Redox Report will be published by Maney Publishing: it will continue to be edited by John W Eaton and Nicholas H Hunt with the assistance of a revised Editorial Advisory Board. The journal will be published six times a year, as before, to the same format and extent. Editorial policy will be widened to include the rapid publication of review articles in developing areas of research, as well as articles highlighting "classic" papers in free radical research. The journal is also indexed, abstracted and/or published online in the following: BIOSIS, Current Awareness in Biological Sciences, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, SciSearch, Academy of Sciences of Russia, Zoological Records. A major innovation will be publication of the full text of each issue on-line on the Web. Access to this version will be free of charge (in addition to a printed copy) to all subscribers with a fully paid-up subscription. Further details will be released once Volume 4 is published. ReadershipThe journal is essential for:

Tel: +61 (0)2 9351 2414/3557; Fax: +61 (0)2 9351 6196; e-mail: nhunt@pathology.usyd.edu.au A paper is accepted for publication on the understanding that it has not been submitted simultaneously to, or previously published in, another journal in the English language. Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals 5th edition (N Engl J Med 1997; 336: 309-15). Papers describing results of human and/or animal studies will only be considered if it is made clear that appropriate, and documented, ethical criteria have been met. The Editors reserve the right to make editorial and literary corrections. Any opinions expressed or policies advocated do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of the Editors. On acceptance of the material, one hard copy and one copy on disk will be requested for typesetting. Please do not send any disks until the final version of the manuscript has been accepted. The Editors cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of material or disks. CATEGORIES OF PAPERSResearch articles are essentially complete and rounded items of research work which describe intellectual or methodological advances supported by new data. Articles should preferably have no more than 2500 words of text, 6 display items and a maximum of 40 essential references. An abstract (maximum 200 words) is required. Review articles are normally commissioned but suggestions are welcome in the form of a brief fax to one of the Editors. Reviews describe recent advances in a particular field but should not be exhaustive. They should preferably have no more than 3000 words of text, 8 display items and a maximum of 60 essential references. An abstract (maximum 250 words) is required. Hypotheses are short (maximum 1500 words) articles with no more than 3 display items and fewer than 20 references. No abstract is required but the first paragraph (maximum 100 words) should encapsulate the idea. It is expected that Hypotheses should contain some of the author's own data. Debate is a section aimed at describing to the general readership foci of important disagreement. Debates are generally commissioned but suggestions are welcome. They take the form of a 1500 word essay (2 display items, 15 references) which is then shown to a researcher with an opposed view for his or her (similar length) response. An independent expert may summarize the points of agreement and disagreement anonymously. Comment is the editorial section. Most comment will be written in-house but prospective authors of such opinion pieces on matters concerning the field and its development are invited to discuss it with an Editor. Suitable subjects would be: papers published or to be published in Redox Report or elsewhere; technological developments in the field; or management of research in the field in all its aspects. Developments is an ad hoc section featuring abstracted papers from other journals. These are very short (200 word) items describing the essentials of a paper in the field and the reasons for its importance. Correspondence deals with all other aspects pertaining to the field and should be succinct (maximum 500 words). While most correspondence will concern comments about papers published in Redox Report there is complete freedom. Contributors must give names and affiliations to the Editors for publication to be possible but anonymity is otherwise confirmed for those who request it. FILE SUBMISSION BY E-MAILE-mail capabilities may vary considerably between institutions and individuals wishing to submit their manuscripts electronically should contact their system manager to determine what choices are available to them. A cover message must be sent with the name, postal address, phone number, fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author. In addition, the letter should specify the file names of all the e-mail files associated with the submission (e.g. Smithtxt, SmithFig, etc.). If your e-mail system has associated mail fees, file transfer charges must be paid for by the author(s). The corresponding author will receive confirmation of their submission within one business day. Because many e-mail services do not allow the transmission and/or acceptance of binary files (i.e. true Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files), the manuscript should be sent as a RTF (Rich Text Format) file. Figures and photos should be submitted as EPS or TIFF files separately. Authors may wish to fax figures for articles they are sending by e-mail in the first instance. These formats are readily generated by most word processing and graphic programs. If you have questions regarding the submission of manuscripts via electronic mail, please contact the Editors by phone, fax or e-mail. DISK SUBMISSIONWe prefer submission of the accepted version of your article on disk together with one identical hard (printed) copy. Send 3.5" disks prepared on IBM or Macintosh compatible hardware and software. Figures should be sent only as hard copy. Tables, figures and captions should be sent on the disk as separate files. Tables must be formatted with tabs, not spaces. The accepted version should be word-processed and printed as follows:
TEXTUAL ORGANIZATIONManuscripts should be set out as follows, with different sections beginning on separate sheets: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgements, references, tables, legends to illustrations. Title page. All submitted material should have a title page giving the following information: (1) title of the article; (2) name of each author, with academic degree(s); (3) name and address of the department or institution to which the work should be attributed; (4) name, address, telephone and fax number of the author responsible for correspondence and to whom requests for offprints should be sent. Text. Headings should be appropriate to the nature of the paper. In general, those for research articles should follow the usual conventions of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Other papers can be subdivided as the author desires but subject to the Editors' discretion. References. References should be entered consecutively by Arabic numerals in superscript in the text. The reference list should be listed in numerical order on a separate sheet in double spacing. References to journals should include the author's name and initials (list all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first three and add et al.), full title of paper, journal title abbreviated (using Index Medicus abbreviations) year of publication, volume number, first and last page numbers. Do not add unnecessary punctuation. For example: Albert M. J. Faruque S. M Ansaruzzaman M. et al. Sharing of virulence-associated properties at the phenotypic and generic levels between enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and Hafnia alvei. J Med Microbiol 1992;37:310-314. References to books should be set out as follows: Facklam R.R. Carey R. B. Streptococci and aerococci. In: Lennetti E.H. ed. Manual of Clinical Microbiology, 4th ed. Washington, D.C.: American Society for Microbiology, 1985:156-157. Tables on disk in the final version should be presented in a separate file. A short descriptive title should appear above each table and any footnotes, suitably identified, should appear below. Make sure you send a hard copy of the table in the accepted version of the paper. ILLUSTRATIONSIllustrations can be handled conventionally but preferably should be supplied on disk in EPS or TIFF format. Hatching, not "grey-fill" tints, should be used in line illustrations (graphs etc.) for optimum reproduction. If supplied on disk a hard copy of each figure must be sent. All line illustrations should present a crisp black image on an even white background (127 x 173 mm (5 x 7 in), or no longer than 230 x 254 mm (8 x 10 in)). Figures should be lettered in capitals. Photographic illustrations should be submitted as clear, highly contrasted black and white prints (unmounted), sizes as above. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with pencil with the figure number and the author's name. Legends to figure should be typed, double spaced, on separate sheets from the main text. PAGE PROOFSPage proofs must be returned by fax or post to the Production Editor at Maney Publishing within 72 hours of receipt. All typescripts undergo some editorial modification, so it is important to read your proofs carefully.
