The Journal of Poultry Science
Instructions for Authors(Revised in April 25, 2020)

Aims and scope

The Journal of Poultry Science (JPS), an official international journal published quarterly by the Japan Poultry Science
Association (JPSA), was first issued in 1964 as the Japanese
Poultry Science. JPS welcomes original articles that containthe results of fundamental and applied researches in the area ofgenetics and breeding, nutrition and feed, anatomy and histology, reproduction, management and hygiene, general physiology, and processing and products. Articles published in JPS
typically cover valuable researches on domestic fowls, but wewelcome research outcomes on wild birds that address to solve
fundamental questions in the field of poultry science. JPS
publishes following three types of articles.
Full papers:
Full Papers present the most common form of articles published in the journal. They describe the results of experiments
implemented in order to examine a novel hypothesis. The
relevant background, experimental designs and methods, results and discussion should be logically presented, and novel
findings must be included.
Research notes:
Research Notes are brief articles giving the experimental
results that contain novel findings but may represent lesscomprehensive research outcomes. The relevant background,experimental designs and methods, results and discussion
should be logically presented in compact. The length of Research Notes should not exceed 3500 words with 1-2 figures ortables.
Review articles:
The contributors of review articles are invited based on therecommendation of the editorial board. The journal has spaces
to accept review articles on subjects within the aims of thejournal.
All articles submitted for publication have to be original
without submitting the same article to any other journals or
multiple articles based on the same experiment. In the cover
letter on the submission, the author should declare a complete
statement about any reporting of the data or any other publications.
Four issues of JPS will be published each year through an
on-line J-STAGE system operated by the Japan Science andTechnology Agency.

1.

Editorial Policy

The journal supports and adheres to the guidelines and bestpractices including Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical
Journals (http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf)

2. Submission of Manuscript

JPS publishes the papers of basic and applied research in thefield of poultry science including the area of genetics andbreeding, nutrition and feed, anatomy and histology, reproduction, general physiology, management and hygiene, processing and products. We also welcome research articles onwild birds that contribute to solve fundamental issues inpoultry science. A limited number of review papers will beconsidered for publication if they contribute significant advancement to a subject area.
Manuscript submitted to JPS must contain the materials thatare original and not unpublished or under consideration elsewhere. Papers that have been, or are scheduled to be, published elsewhere will not be accepted. All submissions must
be made using the online manuscript submission system. The
online submission system can be accessed from the following
URL: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jpsa or it can be accessed via the journal’s website (https://jpn-psa.jp/en) and following the link for JPS manuscript submission. All procedures required for the web-based submission are provided on
the web site.

Peer Review Policies

3.1 Peer Review
All submissions to the journal are initially reviewed byappropriate section editor to assess the quality of the paper andappropriateness for the journal solely on the originality, logic
and significance of the contents. Where agreement is reached
between the section editor and editor in chief, papers are rejected without further peer review. Manuscripts judged as
potentially suitable for the journal are sent out for peer review
by two experts in the field. The reviewers are anonymous
during and after the review. The review comments areevaluated by the editors, who send a recommendation for adecision to the Editor-in-Chief, who makes the final decision.
3.2 Revision
The authors of manuscripts that receive “major revision” or“minor revision” should revise their manuscript according to
the referees’ and editors’ comments in order to meet criticalintent of the reviewers. The response letter, which explains the
specific changes in the revised manuscript according to thecomments and suggestions by the reviewers in point-by-point
manner, should be submitted along with the revised manuscript. Authors should submit the revised manuscript within 6
weeks from the date of prior decision. Failure to return themanuscript within 6 weeks will be considered a withdrawal
from the Journal. If authors decide not to submit a revision,
they are asked to send a formal request for withdraw to the
Editorial Office in writing.
Editor-in-Chief may send the revised manuscript to section
editors and reviewers who handled the manuscript at initialsubmission to check if the manuscript is appropriately revised
as suggested by the reviewers.

4.

Conflicts of Interest

Authors must identify and disclose any financial andpersonal relationships with other people or organizations that
could inappropriately influence their work. If there is no conflict of interest, please state “The authors declare no conflict ofinterest.”

5.

Ethical Statement

Any study or report on human subjects or materials of human origin, must comply with the provisions of the Declarationof Helsinki.
Authors must make it clear that experiments were conductedin a manner that avoided unnecessary discomfort to the animals
by the use of proper management and laboratory techniques.
Experiments shall be conducted in accordance with the principles and specific guidelines presented in Guide for the Careand Use of Agricultural Animals in Japan, or Guide for theCare and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research andTeaching, 3rd edition, 2010. The authors also must mention the
ethical approval number provided by the Animal ExperimentCommittee of affiliated institution. In describing surgical procedures, the type and dosage of the anesthetic agent must be
specified. Intra-abdominal and intrathoracic invasive surgery
requires anesthesia. This includes caponization. The editorin-chief of JPS may refuse to publish manuscripts that are notcompatible with these guides. If rejected solely on that basis,
however, the paper may be resubmitted for reconsideration
when accompanied by a written verification that a committee
on animal care in research has approved the experimental
design and procedures involved.

6. Corrections, Retractions and Expressions of Concern

JPS publishes corrections, retractions, and expressions ofconcern as appropriate, and as quickly as possible.
6.1 Corrections
If an error appears in a published article that affects scientific meanings but does not affect the overall results andconclusions of the paper, a notice of correction will be issuedby JPS. Authors who wish to correct a published article should
contact the editor who handled their manuscript or the Editorial
Office with full details of the error (s) and their requestedchanges. If an error is introduced by the authors, a correction
is published and the author is required to pay all costs associated with the correction. All corrections will be published in
the journal on numbered pages in print and online. The text
will explain the changes being made and/or the reasons foraction being taken.

6.2 Retractions
If a published paper contains one or more significant errors
or inaccuracies that change the overall results and conclusionsof the paper, the entire paper should be retracted. Individuals
who believe that a published article should be retracted areencouraged to contact the journal’s Editorial Office with fulldetails of their concerns. JPS will request an explanation fromthe authors as to how the errors or inaccuracies occurred, and ifthey are not satisfied with the response they will ask theemployers of the authors. All retractions will be published in
the journal on numbered pages in print and online. Notices ofretraction will mention the reasons and basis for the retraction.
6.3 Expressions of Concern
When scientific misconduct such as data fabrication, deceptive manipulation of images, or plagiarism is alleged, JPS
may publish an Editorial Expression of Concern relating to thepaper in print and online.
