UNITS OF MEASUREMENT. Authors should use International System of units (SI) in text, figures and tables (http://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units).
ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS. Archive of Oncology accepts Standard Journal of Biological Chemistry Abbreviations. Generally, avoid abbreviations in the title. In the text, whenever possible, use standard abbreviations. However, if non-standard abbreviations are used, the full term of which an abbreviation stands for should precede its first use in the text. A list of abbreviations and acronyms accepted for use in the Archive of Oncology can be downloaded from the following URL:http://www.aacr.org/pdf_files/Accepted_Abbreviations_Acronyms_2004.pdf.
DRUG NAMES. Use generic names for drugs. Commercial names may be included in parenthesis at first mention in the text. Authors may consult http://www.alims.gov.rs. Complicated drug names or regimens may be abbreviated, with the abbreviation in parenthesis after first mention.
GENE NOMENCLATURE. The Archive of Oncology does not italicize the symbols des¬ignating genes, alleles, or loc. All Human Gene Mapping designations for human genes should be capitalized.
BIOCHEMICAL NOMENCLATURE. For biochemical nomenclature, authors may consult www.iubmb.unibe.ch.
MICROARRAY AND PROTEOMIC DATA. The Archive of Oncology requires that the manuscripts describing microarray data are prepared to supply peer reviewers with the data in a format that conforms to the Minimum Information About a Microarray Gene Experiment (MIAME) guidelines of the Microarray Gene Expression Data society (MGED) (http://www.mged.org/Workgroups/MIAME/miame.html). Authors are also encouraged to deposit the data with either the GEO (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/geo) or Array Express (http://www.ebi.ac.uk) public archives.
PROTEOMIC ANALYSES. See Biomolecular Interaction Network Database (http://bind.ca).
SEQUENCE INFORMATION. The authors of a manuscript containing new nucleotide and/or aminoacid sequences are asked to deposit the sequence information with the GenBank database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/submit.html), or to either the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/Submission), or the DNA Databank of Japan (http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/sub-e.html).
GUIDELINES FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH. Research with embryonic stem cells should adhere to the National Academies' Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research, as published in the National Academies Press.
TUMORS. Authors are advised to use the TNM staging system approved by the International Union Against Cancer and the American Joint Committee on Cancer.
STATISTICAL GUIDELINES. The methods of statistical analysis describe sufficient details on the analyses carried out to enable reader to reproduce the analysis if the data were available. Authors should identify and cite all computer programs or statistical packages used in the analysis, and measures of precision and uncertainty for all statistical esti¬mates. The word „significant“ should be used only for statistically significant results. A p-value or confidence interval (CI) or other measures should be cited in the text for any statistically significant finding reported. Outcome variables should be given as estimates, with 95% confidence intervals rather than standard deviations or standard errors.
The statistical analysis may be performed using the regression analysis, adjust/trends, and explanations for insufficient data. For clinical trials, it is necessary to report: important study dates, sample size, interim analyses, compliance to treatments, patient accounting, and characteristics, follow-up, toxicity, and negative studies.
