Submissions

Author Guidelines

Last Updated: June 26, 2025

Welcome to the Core Reports preprint platform. These guidelines provide essential information for authors preparing and submitting their manuscripts. Our goal is to facilitate the rapid and open dissemination of scientific research. Please review these instructions carefully before submitting your manuscript.

1. Introduction to Core Reports Preprints

Core Reports is a preprint platform dedicated to the immediate and open sharing of scientific research. A preprint is a full draft of a scientific manuscript that is uploaded by the authors to a public server before formal peer review and publication in a journal. Preprints enable rapid dissemination of research findings, allow authors to receive early feedback, and establish priority for discoveries.

Aims & Scope: Core Reports accepts preprints across medicine, neuroscience, and psychology. We welcome submissions that present original research, systematic reviews, case reports, and other scholarly contributions relevant to these fields.
Open Access Philosophy: In line with our Open Access Policy, all preprints on Core Reports are freely and immediately available online. Authors retain copyright, and there are no fees for submission, posting, or access.

2. Types of Submissions Accepted

Core Reports accepts manuscripts for posting as preprints in the following categories. Authors should ensure their submission aligns with the platform's aims and scope.

Original Research: Full-length reports of primary scientific investigations.
Letter: Short communications, often providing initial findings or commentary.
Case Report: Detailed reports of specific patient cases or unique observations.
Meta-Analysis: Systematic statistical combination of data from multiple studies.
Systematic Review: Comprehensive review of existing literature on a specific question.
Literature Review: Broad overview and synthesis of existing research in a field.
Research Protocol: Detailed plans for future research studies, often for clinical trials.
Hypothetical Notes: Manuscripts presenting theoretical frameworks or novel hypotheses for discussion.
Meeting Proceedings: Summaries or full papers presented at scientific meetings.
Theses and Dissertations: Comprehensive academic works submitted as part of degree requirements (if applicable to your platform's scope).
Newsletter: articles featuring a review, commentary or an opinion on a currently published paper or book; articles featuring a report on outreach activities or scientific events; obituaries of a prominent scholar; renowned scholar’s success stories or interviews
3. Submission Process

All manuscripts must be submitted via the Core Reports' online system. Core Reports utilizes the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) Open Journal/Preprint Systems (OJS/OPS) for its submission and management processes.

Submission Link: Access the submission portal https://corereports.neuroscience.mn.
Account Registration: New users must first register for an account. The registration page is accessible via this https://corereports.neuroscience.mn.
Initial Screening: Upon submission, manuscripts undergo a basic internal screening process by Core Reports staff to ensure compliance with these guidelines, ethical standards, and the platform's scope. This is not peer review. Non-compliant manuscripts will be returned to authors for correction before being posted.

4. Content Requirements & Ethical Guidelines

4.1. Originality and Prior Publication

Manuscripts submitted to Core Reports must be original research and must not be currently under consideration by another journal.
Content presented within the manuscript must not have been previously published as a peer-reviewed article in a journal or as a book chapter.
Re-analysis of Published Data: If your manuscript involves a re-analysis of previously published datasets, the original source(s) must be clearly cited or acknowledged. Authors are responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses or permissions from the copyright holder of the original data, if required.

4.2. Studies Involving Human and Animal Subjects

Human Subjects: All manuscripts reporting observations made on human subjects must adhere to the principles stated in the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki (accessible HERE). Ethical approval from a relevant institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee, along with the approval number, must be explicitly stated within the manuscript.
Animal Subjects: All studies involving animal subjects must be approved by an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) or equivalent body, in accordance with national and institutional guidelines (e.g., guidelines from the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, accessible HERE). The ethical approval number and institution must be provided in the manuscript.
Platform Rights: Core Reports reserves the right to request and review all relevant documentation (e.g., ethical approval letters, consent forms) to clarify compliance with ethical standards.

4.3. Data Availability and Public Repositories

Core Reports strongly advocates for the principles of FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Authors are strongly encouraged to make their underlying research data openly available whenever ethically and legally permissible.

Mandatory Deposition for Specific Data: All novel or new research datasets related to DNA/RNA/protein sequences must be submitted to relevant public repositories (e.g., National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
Gene Expression Data: Gene expression datasets (e.g., RNA-seq, microarray) should be deposited in relevant public domains such as Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ or equivalent repositories.
Supplementary Information (Last Resort): In cases where no relevant or appropriate public repository is available, these datasets may be submitted as supplementary information to Core Reports, provided they are not excessively large. Authors are encouraged to consider discipline-specific or generalist repositories like Dryad, Figshare, or Zenodo.
Referencing Data: All reference IDs for gene or DNA/RNA/protein sequences, gene expression datasets, vector sequences, and other relevant datasets must be provided within the main text of the manuscript. Authors must make every effort to use official symbols or IDs for any well-reported resources cited.
Data Availability Statement: Authors must include a "Data Availability Statement" in their manuscript, specifying where and how the data supporting the findings can be accessed, or stating why data cannot be made public.

4.4. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

Editors, authors, and reviewers must adhere to the recommendations for the conduct, reporting, editing, and publication of scholarly work in medical journals stated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), which is accessible at http://icmje.acponline.org/.

The corresponding author (or submitting author), managing editor, and reviewers must declare any potential conflicts of interest related to the work reported in the submitted manuscript.
A declaration statement must be provided towards the end of the manuscript (e.g., "The authors declare no conflict of interest." or specific declarations).
The corresponding/submitting author is responsible for accurately declaring conflicts of interest for all authors.

4.5. AI Use Disclosure

Any use of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) tools or Large Language Models (LLMs) in the creation of the manuscript (e.g., for drafting sections, generating figures, data analysis) must be transparently disclosed in the methods section.
Authors acknowledge that AI tools or LLMs do not qualify for authorship. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of their work, including any content generated by AI tools.

4.6. Authorship and Contributions

All individuals named as authors must meet the criteria for authorship (e.g., as defined by ICMJE guidelines).
For articles with multiple authors, a short paragraph specifying their individual contributions must be provided (e.g., using CRediT taxonomy).

4.7. Acknowledgements

This section should include recognition of individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet authorship criteria.
All sources of funding that supported the research work, including any costs to contribute towards the open access posting on Core Reports, must be clearly stated. Grant numbers should be included where applicable.
