Content	
  
1.  Is the manuscript within the defined scope of the journal?
2.  Is the subject of the paper of sufficient interest to the journal's readership?
3.  Does the paper report a specific, identifiable, advance in knowledge?
4.  Has the work reported in this paper been published before? (Suggestion: search
MEDLINE and/or Google Scholar by author and keywords.)
5.  Are the title and abstract truly descriptive of the content?
6.  Are the procedures and methods complete and sufficiently clear that the work
could be repeated by anyone knowledgeable in the field?
7.  Are the conclusions justified, sound and logically consistent?
8.  Are the references to prior work pertinent and complete?

	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  

•  27	
  
Presenta:on	
  
1.  Is the paper as concise as it could be; consistent with clarity?
2.  Are all figures and tables relevant and properly prepared?
3.  Reviewers are not required to comment on grammar and punctuation.
Instead, reviewers are encouraged to suggest changes that would
remove ambiguity or clarify meaning.
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
•  28	
  
Ethics	
  
1.  Papers under review are confidential and should not be discussed or
shown to others without the express permission of the editor-in-chief.
2.  The identity of reviewers is kept anonymous. A reviewer should reveal his
or her identify to an author only with permission from the editor-in-chief.
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  

•  29	
  
General	
  
1.  Ensure the appropriate manuscript category is selected by the author. If you do not
think the category selected by the author is the best fit for the manuscript,
recommend a more appropriate category.
2.  Ensure the author is following the journal's Instruction for Authors and American
Chemistry Society (ACS) Style Guidelines.
3.  Assessments should be returned on or before the specified deadline. Reviewers
who may not be able to meet a deadline are urged to say so as soon as possible.
4.  Please keep in mind that reviewer manuscript evaluations and comments will be
relayed to authors as guides for revision. Be honest, but courteous. Offer
constructive criticism to the authors so they can benefit from your expertise.
Critique the manuscript, not the author.
5.  Any comments for the editor's eyes only should be shared in a separate note.

ScienTfic	
  Misconduct	
  

In	
  accordance	
  with	
  the	
  Council	
  of	
  Science	
  Editors,	
  SLAS	
  recognizes	
  that	
  as	
  a	
  general	
  
guide,	
  the	
  term	
  "research	
  misconduct"	
  applies	
  to	
  any	
  ac:on	
  that	
  involves	
  
purposeful	
  manipula:on	
  of	
  the	
  scien:fic	
  record	
  such	
  that	
  it	
  no	
  longer	
  reflects	
  
observed	
  truth,	
  or	
  mistreatment	
  of	
  research	
  subjects.	
  The	
  concepts	
  of	
  negligence	
  
and	
  deceit	
  are	
  central	
  to	
  the	
  defini:on	
  of	
  research	
  misconduct.	
  Research	
  
misconduct	
  generally	
  falls	
  into	
  one	
  of	
  four	
  areas:	
  fabrica:on	
  of	
  data,	
  falsifica:on	
  of	
  
data,	
  plagiarism,	
  and	
  unethical	
  treatment	
  of	
  research	
  subjects.	
  	
  
	
  
If	
  SLAS	
  suspects	
  misconduct	
  by	
  authors,	
  reviewers,	
  editorial	
  staff,	
  or	
  other	
  editors,	
  
it	
  will	
  take	
  ac:on.	
  This	
  duty	
  extends	
  to	
  both	
  published	
  and	
  unpublished	
  papers.	
  
SLAS	
  will	
  first	
  seek	
  a	
  response	
  from	
  those	
  accused.	
  If	
  SLAS	
  is	
  not	
  sa:sfied	
  with	
  the	
  
response,	
  SLAS	
  will	
  ask	
  the	
  employers	
  of	
  the	
  authors,	
  reviewers,	
  or	
  editors,	
  or	
  some	
  
other	
  appropriate	
  body	
  (perhaps	
  a	
  regulatory	
  body)	
  to	
  inves:gate.	
  In	
  the	
  case	
  of	
  its	
  
own	
  editorial	
  staff,	
  SLAS	
  will	
  conduct	
  the	
  inves:ga:on

  SLAS

  all	
  
reasonable	
  efforts	
  to	
  ensure	
  that	
  a

  inves:ga:on	
  is	
  conducted.	
  If	
  this

  whatever	
  reason,

  • 27. Content   1.  Is the manuscript within the defined scope of the journal? 2.  Is the subject of the paper of sufficient interest to the journal's readership? 3.  Does the paper report a specific, identifiable, advance in knowledge? 4.  Has the work reported in this paper been published before? (Suggestion: search MEDLINE and/or Google Scholar by author and keywords.) 5.  Are the title and abstract truly descriptive of the content? 6.  Are the procedures and methods complete and sufficiently clear that the work could be repeated by anyone knowledgeable in the field? 7.  Are the conclusions justified, sound and logically consistent? 8.  Are the references to prior work pertinent and complete?           •  27  
  • 28. Presenta:on   1.  Is the paper as concise as it could be; consistent with clarity? 2.  Are all figures and tables relevant and properly prepared? 3.  Reviewers are not required to comment on grammar and punctuation. Instead, reviewers are encouraged to suggest changes that would remove ambiguity or clarify meaning.                 •  28  
  • 29. Ethics   1.  Papers under review are confidential and should not be discussed or shown to others without the express permission of the editor-in-chief. 2.  The identity of reviewers is kept anonymous. A reviewer should reveal his or her identify to an author only with permission from the editor-in-chief.                 •  29  
  • 30. General   1.  Ensure the appropriate manuscript category is selected by the author. If you do not think the category selected by the author is the best fit for the manuscript, recommend a more appropriate category. 2.  Ensure the author is following the journal's Instruction for Authors and American Chemistry Society (ACS) Style Guidelines. 3.  Assessments should be returned on or before the specified deadline. Reviewers who may not be able to meet a deadline are urged to say so as soon as possible. 4.  Please keep in mind that reviewer manuscript evaluations and comments will be relayed to authors as guides for revision. Be honest, but courteous. Offer constructive criticism to the authors so they can benefit from your expertise. Critique the manuscript, not the author. 5.  Any comments for the editor's eyes only should be shared in a separate note.           •  30  
  • 31. Permission  Guidelines   •  Any  text,  tables,  or  figures  reproduced  from  previously  published  work  can  only   be  reprinted  with  wrieen  permission  from  the  copyright  holder.     •  Permissions  must  be  submieed  with  the  manuscript,  and  must  include  print  and   online  publica:on.     •  Acquiring  permission  is  the  sole  responsibility  of  the  author.     •  The  publicaTon  from  which  the  material  is  taken  must  be  listed  in  the   references.                   •  31  
  • 32. Copyright  and  Simultaneous  Submissions   •  Manuscripts  are  considered  for  publica:on  with  the  understanding  that  if  a  paper  is   accepted,  copyright  is  transferred  to  the  Society  for  Laboratory  Automa:on  and   Screening,  and  that  no  paper  presenTng  the  same  informaTon  has  been  or  will  be   published  elsewhere.     •  If  part  of  a  contribuTon  has  appeared  or  will  appear  elsewhere,  the  author  must   specify  the  details  in  the  comments  porTon  of  his  or  her  submission.  Simultaneous   submissions  of  manuscripts  to  mulTple  journals  at  the  same  Tme  is  not  acceptable   —  please  do  not  submit  manuscripts  that  may  be  under  consideraTon  by  another   publicaTon  or  electronic  medium.     •  Published  manuscripts  may  be  published  elsewhere  only  with  the  wriden   permission  of  SLAS.     •  Authors  whose  research  was  funded  by  an  NIH  grant  may  submit  the  final,  accepted   version  of  the  manuscript  for  deposit  in  PubMedCentral.  JALA  requires  such  authors   to  specify  a  release  date  of  11  months  following  the  date  of  print  publica:on  of  the   manuscript.     •  32    
  • 33. Ethics  of  Publishing   DefiniTon  of  Plagiarism   • From Merriam-Webster Dictionary: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source   Typical  Responses  to  Plagiarism   • Author  will  be  given  an  opportunity  to  explain  themselves   • During  review  process  –  failure  to  be  accepted   • Aaer  publica:on  –  Retrac:on   Conflict  of  Interests   • All  prospec:ve  authors  must  recognize  and  disclose  any  conflict  of  interest,  or  poten:al   conflict  of  interest,  that  may  bias  their  work,  or  could  be  perceived  to  bias  their  work,   and  acknowledge  all  financial  support  and  any  other  personal  connec:ons.     • JALA  follows  the  Uniform  Requirements  for  Manuscripts  of  the  Interna:onal   Commieee  of  Medical  Journal  Editors,  especially  as  they  relate  to  conflicts  of  interest.       •  33  
  • 34. Ethics  of  Publishing   ScienTfic  Misconduct   In  accordance  with  the  Council  of  Science  Editors,  SLAS  recognizes  that  as  a  general   guide,  the  term  "research  misconduct"  applies  to  any  ac:on  that  involves   purposeful  manipula:on  of  the  scien:fic  record  such  that  it  no  longer  reflects   observed  truth,  or  mistreatment  of  research  subjects.  The  concepts  of  negligence   and  deceit  are  central  to  the  defini:on  of  research  misconduct.  Research   misconduct  generally  falls  into  one  of  four  areas:  fabrica:on  of  data,  falsifica:on  of   data,  plagiarism,  and  unethical  treatment  of  research  subjects.       If  SLAS  suspects  misconduct  by  authors,  reviewers,  editorial  staff,  or  other  editors,   it  will  take  ac:on.  This  duty  extends  to  both  published  and  unpublished  papers.   SLAS  will  first  seek  a  response  from  those  accused.  If  SLAS  is  not  sa:sfied  with  the   response,  SLAS  will  ask  the  employers  of  the  authors,  reviewers,  or  editors,  or  some   other  appropriate  body  (perhaps  a  regulatory  body)  to  inves:gate.  In  the  case  of  its   own  editorial  staff,  SLAS  will  conduct  the  inves:ga:on  itself.  SLAS  will  make  all   reasonable  efforts  to  ensure  that  a  proper  inves:ga:on  is  conducted.  If  this  is  not   possible,  or  does  not  happen  for  whatever  reason,  SLAS  will  make  all  reasonable   aeempts  to  persist  in  obtaining  a  resolu:on  to  the  problem  and  a  correc:on  of  the   record  if  it  is  needed.     •  34
