For authors
Who can send: any dentist or doctor signed in on Dental Education (joining is free). Send your article from the page Send an article.
One at a time: each author has one article with the journal at a time; when the editors have decided on it, the next one can be sent. Each article gets its manuscript number.
Changing it: you can change your article (details or file) until an editor takes it, and again whenever the editors ask for changes. Every earlier version is kept. You can also withdraw it before it is accepted.
What you can send: original research, a review article, a case report, a short communication, or a video article.
The article: one Word or PDF file with the title, the authors and their institutions, the abstract, keywords, the text, the figures and the references.
Video article: the video of your case, procedure or technique (MP4), with a written abstract and keywords, and the references in a PDF or Word file.
Patients: every patient gave written consent, and no patient can be recognised by name or face unless that consent covers it.
Blind review: the editors read your article without your names, and you do not see who read it. So the article file must not show the authors' names or colleges: write them only in the form (the Editorial Board keeps them).
Review: the editors read every article. They accept it, ask for changes, or decline it. You see each step on your Submissions page, and on WhatsApp.
After acceptance: the article is placed in a volume and issue, with its own page, its citation and its dates (received, accepted, published).
Video articles
Video articles are a format conceived by the journal's editorial team. The author shows the case, the procedure or the technique on video, with a written abstract, keywords and references. The editors review it like any article; once published it has its own page and its citation, like a printed article.
