Information For Authors

Submitting Your Manuscript

Zebrafish is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on research using zebrafish and other aquarium species including medaka, Fugu, and Xiphophorus as models for studies of vertebrate development, toxicology, and human disease. The Journal serves as a forum for articles discussing research on comparative genomics and evolution, the genetic analysis of embryogenesis and disease and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cell growth, differentiation and gene expression in these model species. The Journal publishes articles describing novel methods, tools, and experimental approaches using aquarium models.

Manuscript Preparation

Determining Authorship

(See AUTHORSHIP DEFINITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES)

All authors, including the co-authors, should be responsible for a significant part of the manuscript. All authors and co-authors should have taken part in writing the manuscript, reviewing it, and revising its intellectual and technical content. Any author whose name appears on a manuscript assumes responsibility and accountability for the results.

Third-party submissions

Please note that if manuscripts are submitted by third parties (i.e., editing services or other agents), those third parties must submit the manuscript as a submitting agent, using a corporate or official email account. In addition, the name and company of the submitting agent must be disclosed in the cover letter. Authors are responsible for manuscripts submitted by third parties. If we determine that a non-disclosed third party submitted the manuscript without following these procedures, we reserve the right to immediately reject the manuscript.

Submission Process

Authors who do not follow these guidelines may have their submission returned to them without being reviewed.

Please make sure preferred reviewers are not from your university or institution or with whom you have collaborated. Anyone whom the author does not want to be considered should also be named as a non-preferred reviewer. Ultimate reviewer selection is at the Editor’s discretion.

Confirm that the material has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

Create an Effective Title

Manuscript titles should be brief, contain key terms, and clearly identify the purpose

of the work conducted

Manuscript titles should not exceed 15 -18 words. Exceptions can be made with the Editor’s approval

Manuscript Text

CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE TYPES AND WORD LIMITS

In general, the text should be organized under the headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. The Introduction should be concise and clearly worded and constructed; Materials and Methods should include sufficient detail to allow for reproduction; and the Discussion should contain interpretation of the results including their relationship to the existing body of knowledge in the field. Please follow the protocol described herein to avoid delay in publication. Authors should note that manuscripts may be edited if needed to ensure clear grammatical English usage.

Use only standard abbreviations, which can be found in the AMA’s Manual of Style for Authors and Editors, 10th edition.  At first usage, spell out terms and provide abbreviations in parentheses. Thereafter, use only the abbreviations. It is not necessary to spell out standard units of measure. Use generic names for drugs if possible. If you wish to use a proprietary drug name the first time it appears, use the generic name followed by the proprietary name, manufacturer, and location in parentheses.

References 

References must be prepared in Word, double spaced, and numbered consecutively as they are cited in the text (using superscript Arabic numbers).  Include the reference section as part of the main text file, not as a separate file. References appearing for the first time in tables and figures must be numbered in sequence with those cited in the text where the table or figure is mentioned. Use journal abbreviations as provided by PubMed/Medline. List all authors when there are six or fewer. When there are more than six authors, list the first three, followed by et al.

If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, they are not to be in the list of references. They should be referred to in the text in parentheses: (AB Jones, personal communication, month and year). When data from an unpublished source are given, supply the researcher's name. Include among the references any articles that have been accepted but have not yet published; identify the name of publication and add "In Press." If the reference has been published online, provide the DOI number in place of the page range.

Sample style for references:

Figure Legends

Figure legends should be uploaded as a separate Word file and double spaced. In the legend, provide explanations for any abbreviations, arrows, etc. that appear in the figure. If the figure is taken from a copyrighted publication, permission must be secured, appropriate credit must be given in the legend, and a corresponding reference must appear in the reference section. All permissions listings must be shown in the manuscript; they cannot be entered on proofs.

Tables

All tables should be prepared in one single Word file. Provide a title for each table. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Cite tables in sequence in the text. Do not repeat information that is given in the text, and do not make a table for data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences. Explain abbreviations and acronyms used in the body of the table in footnotes. All other types of table footnotes should be designated using superscript letters, not symbols. If the table is taken from a copyrighted publication, permission must be secured, appropriate credit must be given in the legend, and a corresponding reference must appear in the reference section. All permissions listings must be shown in the manuscript; they cannot be entered on proofs.

Figures

Submission of high resolution .TIFF or .EPS figure files is strongly recommended.

Figures should not be embedded within the manuscript file.

All figures should be numbered and labeled with the figure number.  

Cite figures consecutively in text within parentheses.

A legend should be supplied for each figure and all legends numbered consecutively.

Images should not show the name of a patient or a manufacturer. 

Do not include any illustrations as part of your text file.

The Journal will publish color figures, but the author must subsidize the cost of the color printing.
