Author Instructions

New submissions are initially checked by the Managing Editor from the perspectives of originality, suitability, structure
and formatting, conflicts of interest, background of authors, etc. Poorly-prepared manuscripts may be rejected at this
stage. If your manuscript does not meet one or more of these requirements, we will return it for further revisions.

9.1.2. Publishing ethics
All manuscripts submitted to Journal of Translational Genetics and Genomics are screened using iThenticate powered
by CrossCheck to identify any plagiarized content. Your study must also meet all ethical requirements as outlined in our
Editorial Policies. If the manuscript does not pass any of these checks, we may return it to you for further revisions or
decline to consider your study for publication.
9.2. Editorial assessment
Once your manuscript has passed the initial manuscript check, it will be assigned to an Assistant Editor, and then the
Editor-in-Chief, or an Associate Editor in the case of a conflict of interest, will be notified of the submission and invited to
review. Regarding Special Issue paper, after passing the initial check, the manuscript will be successively assigned to an
Assistant Editor, Guest Editor, and then to the Editor-in-Chief, or an Associate Editor in the case of conflict of interest for
the Editor-in-Chief to review. The Editor-in-Chief, or the Associate Editor may reject manuscripts that they deem highly
unlikely to pass peer review without further consultation. Once your manuscript has passed the editorial assessment, the
Assistant Editor will start to organize peer-review.

9.3. Process
Journal of Translational Genetics and Genomics operates a single-blind review process. The technical quality of the
research described in the manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two independent expert reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief
is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. For controversial manuscripts,
the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for making the final decision.

9.4. Decisions
Your research will be judged on technical soundness only, not on its perceived impact as judged by Editors or referees.
There are three possible decisions: Accept (your study satisfies all publication criteria), Invitation to Revise (more work
is required to satisfy all criteria), and Reject (your study fails to satisfy key criteria and it is highly unlikely that further
work can address its shortcomings).
