Cancer Prevention International (CPI) is an international journal devoted to publishing scholarly works in the broad field of cancer prevention, detection, and control. To this end it will cover such areas as basic mechanisms of cancer prevention, chemoprevention, nutrition, alcohol, tobacco, and environmental sciences, epidemiologic and behavioral studies, prevention clinical trials, and other areas related to prevention and control of cancer.

Only original papers will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the clear understanding that the work is original and unpublished, the work has not been and will not be submitted elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was performed. Any person cited as source of personal communication must have approved such citation in writing. Articles and any other material published in CPI represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the editors or the publishers. Articles accepted for publication will be subject to peer review as well as editorial review and revision and to the rules governing the Copyright Revision Act of 1978. For extensive editing, the manuscript will be returned to the author(s) for revision.

Where human subjects are involved, a statement must be made that all clinical research has been conducted in accordance with the principles as defined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Research on animals should follow the guidelines set forth in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals developed by the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources of the National Research Council (sold by the U.S. Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402).

1. General Instructions: Manuscripts should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief or to a Topical Editor and submitted in an original and two copies.

All pages, including references, legends for illustrations, and tables, should be numbered consecutively.

If additional data become available before the manuscript is submitted, such information should be added to it and not included as an addendum.

It should contain the salient facts of the paper (i.e., purpose, results, conclusions), which will appear at the beginning of the article. Do not cite references in the abstract. Include three to five keywords after the abstract, suitable for indexing.

4. Text: Arrange the paper in the following order: Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Figure Legends, Tables. Define nonstandard abbreviations the first time they appear in the text. Cite all figures and tables in the text. Measurements should be given in metric units, using standard abbreviations.

5. References: References should be cited in the text using numbers in parentheses. The reference list should be numbered and arranged alphabetically by author, following CBE Style Manual, using the following examples. Journal abbreviations should conform to those used in Index Medicus.

6. Illustrations: Submit drawings and graphs as high-quality glossy prints or as laser-printer quality on a good grade of white paper. (If possible, also include black and white figures as part of the disk file.) Lettering should be sufficiently large to be legible upon reduction. Photomicrographs and X-ray photographs should be submitted as high-contrast, glossy prints. Indicate magnification and stain in legends for photomicrographs. Whenever possible, place arrows on photographs to indicate the portion to which reference is made. Identify each figure with the first author's last name, figure number, and arrow indicating the top of the figure on a self-adhesive label affixed to the back of the figure. Do not clip, staple, tape, or mount prints. The full cost of color illustrations is borne by the author. Estimates may be requested.

7. Tables: Tables should be self-explanatory and should not duplicate the text. The data should be logically and clearly organized so that related items can be compared and classified. Place each table on a separate sheet of paper. Include a title for each table. Avoid extremely wide or long tables that would not fit printed page width or depth.

Keep back-up disk for reference and safety.

9. Investigation on Human Subjects: All clinical research papers submitted from the United States, which involve human subjects, must be accompanied by evidence of peer review. The date that the project was approved, when available, should be included.

10. Reviews: CPI will review monographs, books, and audio-visuals dealing with reduction of cancers at various sites or allied subjects. It may be impossible to review all material sent. However, an acknowledgement will be made in the Review Section.
