Why Dental Researchers Choose JDOI

Submission Guidelines Summary

Manuscript Preparation

Structure your dental research manuscript according to ICMJE guidelines with clear sections: Introduction (background and objectives), Materials and Methods (detailed protocols), Results (with statistical analysis), Discussion (clinical implications), and Conclusions. Include patient demographics, treatment protocols, follow-up periods, and success/failure criteria for implant studies.

Clinical Photography Standards

Submit high-resolution intraoral and extraoral photographs (minimum 300 DPI) with proper lighting, focus, and standardized views. Include preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative images for surgical cases. Radiographs must be DICOM-compliant with clear anatomical landmarks. Remove all patient identifiers and obtain written consent for publication.

Statistical Requirements

Report statistical methods clearly including software used, significance levels, confidence intervals, and power calculations for clinical trials. For implant survival studies, use Kaplan-Meier analysis and report cumulative survival rates. Include sample size justification and handling of missing data.

Reference Formatting

Use Vancouver citation style with consecutive numbering in order of appearance. Include all authors (up to 6, then et al.), full article titles, journal abbreviations per Index Medicus, year, volume, and page numbers. Verify all references are accessible and accurately cited.

Ethics and Consent

All human studies require IRB/Ethics Committee approval with approval number stated in Methods section. Patient consent forms must be obtained for clinical photographs showing identifiable features. Animal studies must follow ARRIVE guidelines with ethical approval documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the acceptance rate for dental implant research?

JDOI maintains a 40% acceptance rate, reflecting our commitment to publishing high-quality, methodologically rigorous dental research. Manuscripts are evaluated on scientific merit, clinical relevance, and contribution to advancing oral health science. Common rejection reasons include inadequate sample sizes, lack of control groups, insufficient follow-up periods, and poor statistical analysis.

Do you accept retrospective case series?

Yes, we publish well-designed retrospective studies with adequate sample sizes (minimum 20 patients for implant studies), standardized treatment protocols, objective outcome measures, and appropriate statistical analysis. Include detailed inclusion/exclusion criteria, loss to follow-up rates, and limitations discussion.

What are the publication charges?

Article Processing Charges (APCs) vary by article type and are disclosed transparently during submission. We offer APC waivers for researchers from low-income countries, unfunded studies, and exceptional research with financial constraints. Quality research is never rejected based on inability to pay.

How do I track my manuscript status?

ManuscriptZone Portal provides real-time status updates: Submitted, Under Review, Reviewer Comments Received, Decision Made, Revision Submitted, In Production, Published. You receive email notifications at each milestone with detailed information and next steps.

Can I suggest reviewers?

Yes, you may suggest 3-5 potential reviewers with expertise in your specific research area. Provide their names, affiliations, email addresses, and brief justification for their expertise. However, final reviewer selection remains at editorial discretion to ensure unbiased evaluation.

What if my manuscript is rejected?

Rejection decisions include detailed reviewer feedback explaining scientific concerns and methodological limitations. You may address these issues and resubmit as a new manuscript with a cover letter explaining revisions. Alternatively, consider submitting to another journal better suited to your research scope.

Article Processing Charges

JDOI operates on an open access model where publication costs are covered by Article Processing Charges (APCs). These fees support the editorial process, peer review management, production, and global dissemination of your research. APCs vary by article type:
