Complete Stories or Observations
 

Will You Publish a Complete Story with All the Results of a Large Project?

Genomic Press is committed to publishing articles that offer complete stories in their entirety. We know that some large-scale projects have broad implications and fine-grained depths that we appreciate. This extensive tilling of the fields of psychiatric, clinical neurosciences, and basic neuroscience ground takes space to unfurl and should be shared as complete stories.

Unlike other platforms that may limit this space, we at Genomic Press allow for the space to completely tell your science story. One of our article categories is specifically designed for this purpose: Research Articles. We provide authors ample space so that the detailed exposition of the findings can develop naturally; authors have maximum 8,000 words, 8 display items, and 200 references. Through our Research Articles, authors can now share methodologies pursued, the discoveries made, and their implications that may have an effect not only on the scientific community but also beyond. We provide the canvas and invite you to paint your full-length research story without abridgment. With Genomic Press, every detail of your comprehensive research narrative finds a home.

High Priority Research Communications (HPRC) are geared toward the very rapid publication of truly seminal work of unusually high innovation and broad impact. Submission limits consist of 6,000 words, 6 display items, and 150 references.

Should You Publish an Interesting Set of Observations Before Project Completion?

In the fast-paced world of scientific enterprise, there will be times when it is impractical and unadvisable to hold up an entire project for the purpose of sharing with the world something that could prove to be a potentially groundbreaking observation. To enable such findings to reach the public domain rapidly, Genomic Press supports two classes of manuscripts oriented toward concise but impactful contributions: Reports and Research Letters.

Research Reports are particularly appropriate for publishing a small number of intriguing observations or a small study. The 3,500-word limit allows authors space to the describe their research without excessively diluting its key elements. Reports can have 4 display items and up to 100 references. This format provides investigators with the means of reporting influential results in an appropriately contextualized, concise format.

The most concise route for publishing research is through Brevia. These have a maximum word count of 800 words and require only a brief introductory paragraph rather than an abstract. They may present one display item and up to 8 references. Materials and methods should be placed in supporting online material (500 words max, 1 extra display item and 8 additional references). Brevia are short scholarly communications, especially appropriate for the delivery of groundbreaking insights or an initial observation of large significance.

The Genomic Press publishing platform supports both Research Reports and Brevia, providing researchers with opportunities to share emerging new insights quickly, thereby accelerating the tempo of scientific discourse and discovery.

A Crisp and Novel Conclusion

Regardless of the type of manuscript: Research Articles, Research Reports, HPRC, or Brevia, all submissions should close with a clear, powerful, and new final paragraph that presents your conclusions. This represents the opportunity to reinforce the importance of your findings, emphasize their novelty, and gesture toward future research directions. Your last paragraph is very important to put your research findings into a nutshell and communicate what they mean, in relation to your broad scientific area.

No matter whether your manuscript is a full-length research article, HPRC, a concise research report, or brevia, try to leave your readers with a crystal clear sense of what is new and important about your work. In these ways, the conclusion represents the critical summation of your story at Genomic Press, serving as the guiding light leading your readers to the full depth and breadth of your research insights.
