Information for Authors

Submit original clinical manuscripts for publication in General Dentistry.

Manuscripts that have not been published previously, or for which publication elsewhere is not pending are submitted into the peer-review process.  

The peer-review process is used to establish the content validity and pertinence of each submitted manuscript. The publication of each manuscript is determined based on the reviews of a general dentist reviewer, a specialist reviewer, the managing editor, and the editor of General Dentistry. The peer-review process may take up to two months.

All manuscript submissions must be written in English and be five to 15 pages in length. Electronic submissions are preferred, but faxed or mailed submissions are accepted. Step-by-step instructions are provided for your use.
