  1.  Title Page- Title, Authors & Affiliations [include all email(s)], Running Head
  2.  Abstract- 250 words or less with 5 Keywords
  3.  Introduction
  4.  Methods
  5.  Results
  6.  Discussion
  7.  Acknowledgements/Disclosure/Conflict of Interest Statements
  8.  References in JCB specified format (LaTex template available upon request)
  9.  Tables (1 per page)
  10. Figure Legends
  11. Figures (You may save as TIF, EPS, Word, PPT, PDF, PNG, JPG.  Figures should be clear; resolution for TIF And EPS files are typically 300 dpi resolution.   Label each file with the author's last name and Figure number. Ex. Smith Figure 1

For LaTex Submissions: (Please contact the Editorial Office for LaTex templates)



2 Options for uploading files (2nd one is preferred):

1.      Upload the main LaTeX file first, selecting the file designation of Main Document.

Then, upload each file that is related to the main.TEX file as is needed for processing, selecting the file designation of TeX/LaTeX Suppl File.

Be sure to upload all style sheets, and reference and bibliography files that are a part of the document.

All figure/ image files must be saved and uploaded in .EPS format in order for the file to properly format and convert.

Check the system-generated PDF of your manuscript, if not all characters convert properly, use the 2nd option below.



2.      Authors may choose to upload a complete, full text (including figures and tables) PDF under the file designation "Full Manuscript PDF".

The LaTex source files should be uploaded as a zip file as supplementary data, with the zip file name "SourceFiles.zip".
