Before submitting your manuscript to Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, please
ensure you have read the Aims & Scope.
For studies that only contain bioinformatics, computational analysis, or predictions made using public databases, the journal only considers those manuscripts which include robust external validation using an independent cohort or biological validation in vitro or in vivo and have potential clinical applications.
3.2.1 Original research articles
Original, in-depth, research articles must follow the Aims & Scope of TCRT with emphasis on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of cancer. Research articles must have the potential for clinical application. For bioinformatics studies, external clinical validation is expected. For in vitro studies, a molecular mechanism should be presented. TCRT does not impose word or figure limits, but does reserve the right to ask for manuscripts to be edited and/or shortened.
Review Articles should report on the existing state of understanding in a specific
research area and/or topic. TCRT does not impose word or figure limits but does
reserve the right to ask for manuscripts to be edited and/or shortened.
Mini Reviews are articles that focus on recent significant advances in fields that are within the scope of TCRT. They are clear, succinct summaries that provide an up-to-date overview of progress, new developments, and/or emerging concepts in a specific field. Mini Reviews must provide clinical context and discussion of challenges and potential future developments. Mini Reviews should be approximately 2000 words. The abstract should not exceed 350 words and should be structure with a background, main body, and short conclusion. Mini Reviews should not include unpublished material or personal communications.
Study Protocols are articles that describe the design of planned or ongoing research. This includes study design for observational, qualitative, exploratory studies, experimental studies, and systematic reviews. Study designs for clinical trials are especially encouraged. TCRT endorses the SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) Statement, which provides important guidance on drafting protocols, and the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, which provide a 17-item checklist for preparing systematic review and meta-analysis protocols. Authors are encourage to follow these guidelines when preparing a study protocol manuscript. For more information on preparing a Study Protocol for submission, refer to this document.
Opinion Pieces should not exceed four printed pages. Papers in this section should
present a new vision or perspective of recent developments. They may also critically
address recent publications from any journal. In the latter case, the criticized authors
will be given a chance to write a prompt response. Articles in this section should address
unsolved controversies arising in current research.
Letters to the Editor should consist of one or two paragraphs totaling no more than 500 words, no abstract, no subheadings and fewer than 8 references (one author, et al., no titles). If an
abstract is included, it will automatically be made the first paragraph. Letters should not include
figures or research material. Letters to the editor are not charged an APC.
A letter to the editor is a brief communication that addresses the contents of a published article.Its purpose is to make corrections, provide alternative viewpoints, or offer counter-arguments. Avoidlogical fallacies and ad hominem attacks. Letters to the editor must be written in a professional tone and include references to support all claims if appropriate.
Editorials are short articles intended to provide a brief overview of the latest research in the field. These key opinion pieces are peer reviewed and is aimed at steering discussion about the recent exciting developments in cancer research and therapy. The word limit for editorial articles is maximum 2000 words and up to 20 references.
Validation or Replication studies can be submitted to the journal. These should be carried out to validate that a scientific finding is accurate, reliable and reproducible. These may be written in the style of a Brief Communication or a Research Paper with a brief introduction.

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment offers transparent peer review as a choice for authors, where the reviews at each stage, author responses and editor’s decision letters will be publicly available on the ScholarOne Transparent Peer Review platform and linked to from the published article should the article be accepted. Authors have the opportunity to opt-out during submission. Reviewers are encouraged to sign their reviews but their comments will be published anonymously should they choose not to do so.
The journal’s policy is to have manuscripts reviewed by two expert reviewers. Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment utilizes a double-blind peer review process in which the reviewer and authors’ names and information are withheld from the other. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible while maintaining rigor. Reviewers make comments to the author and recommendations to the Managing Editor who then makes the final decision.
**When uploading your manuscript, please make sure no identifying information is included
in the main document, including in the acknowledgments, funding and conflict of interest
statements. If any of these statements contain identifying information, please put the
statements on the title page.
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment is committed to delivering high quality, fast peer review
for your paper, and as such has partnered with Publons. Publons is a third party service
that seeks to track, verify and give credit for peer review. Reviewers for Technology in Cancer
Research & Treatment can opt in to Publons in order to claim their reviews or have them
automatically verified and added to their reviewer profile. Reviewers claiming credit for their
review will be associated with the relevant journal, but the article name, reviewer’s decision and
the content of their review is not published on the site. For more information visit the Publons
website.
The Editor or members of the Editorial Board may occasionally submit their own manuscripts for
possible publication in the journal. In these cases, the peer review process will be managed by
alternative members of the Board and the submitting Editor/Board member will have no
involvement in the decision-making process.
Papers should only be submitted for consideration once consent is given by all contributing
authors. Those submitting papers should carefully check that all those whose work contributed
to the paper are acknowledged as contributing authors.
The list of authors should include all those who can legitimately claim authorship. This is all
those who:
(i) Made a substantial contribution to the concept or design of the work; or acquisition,
analysis or interpretation of data,
(ii) Drafted the article or revised it critically for important intellectual content,
(iii) Approved the version to be published,
(iv) Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public
responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.
Authors should meet the conditions of all of the points above. Each author should have
participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the
content.
When a large, multicentre group has conducted the work, the group should identify the
individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully
meet the criteria for authorship.
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone
does not constitute authorship, although all contributors who do not meet the criteria for
authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgments section. Please refer to the International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship guidelines for more information on
authorship.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgments section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.
Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.
4.3.1 Third party submissions
Where an individual who is not listed as an author submits a manuscript on behalf of the author(s), a statement must be included in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript and in the accompanying cover letter. The statements must:
- Disclose this type of editorial assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input
- Identify any entities that paid for this assistance
- Confirm that the listed authors have authorized the submission of their manuscript via third party and approved any statements or declarations, e.g. conflicting interests, funding, etc.
Where appropriate, SAGE reserves the right to deny consideration to manuscripts submitted by a third party rather than by the authors themselves.
4.3.2 Writing assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communications company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance.
It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.
Please supply any personal acknowledgments separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in
a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements
page on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in
the event of funding, or state: This research received no specific grant from any funding
agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
4.5 Declaration of conflicting interests
It is the policy of Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment to require a declaration of
conflicting interests from all authors enabling a statement to be carried within the paginated
pages of all published articles.
Please ensure that a ‘Declaration of Conflicting Interests’ statement is included at the end of
your manuscript, after any acknowledgments and prior to the references. If no conflict exists,
please state that ‘The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest’.
For guidance on conflict of interest statements, please see the ICMJE recommendations.
4.6 Research ethics and patient consent
Medical research involving human subjects must be conducted according to the World Medical
Association Declaration of Helsinki.
Submitted manuscripts should conform to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct,
Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, and all papers
reporting animal and/or human studies must state in the methods section that the relevant
Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board provided (or waived) approval. Please ensure
that you have provided the full name and institution of the review committee, in addition to the
approval number.
For research articles, authors are also required to state in the methods section whether participants
rovided informed consent and whether the consent was written or verbal.
Information on informed consent to report individual cases or case series should be included in the
manuscript text. A statement is required regarding whether written informed consent for patient information
and images to be published was provided by the patient(s) or a legally authorized representative. Please
do not submit the patient’s actual written informed consent with your article, as this in itself breaches the
patient’s confidentiality. The Journal requests that you confirm to us, in writing, that you have obtained
written informed consent but the written consent itself should be held by the authors/investigators
themselves, for example in a patient’s hospital record. The confirmatory letter may be uploaded with your
submission as a separate file.
Please also refer to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Protection of Research Participants.
All research involving animals submitted for publication must be approved by an ethics committee with oversight of the facility in which the studies were conducted. The Journal has adopted the ARRIVE guidelines.
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment conforms to the ICMJE requirement that clinical
trials are registered in a WHO-approved public trials registry at or before the time of first patient
enrolment as a condition of consideration for publication. The trial registry name and URL, and
registration number must be included at the end of the abstract.
The relevant EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines should be followed depending on the type
of study. For example, all randomized controlled trials submitted for publication should include
a completed CONSORT flow chart as a cited figure and the completed CONSORT checklist should
be uploaded with your submission as a supplementary file. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
should include the completed PRISMA flow chart as a cited figure and the completed
PRISMA checklist should be uploaded with your submission as a supplementary file. Observational studies in epidemiology (cohor, case-control, cross-sectional studies) should include the completed STROBE checklist as a supplementary file with your submission. Animal studies should have the completed ARRIVES checklist uploaded with your submission as a supplementary file. The EQUATOR wizard can help you identify the appropriate guideline.

7.3 Information required for completing your submission
Provide full contact details for the corresponding author including email, mailing address and
telephone numbers. Academic affiliations are required for all co-authors. These details should
be presented separately to the main text of the article to facilitate anonymous peer review.
You will be asked to provide contact details and academic affiliations for all co-authors via the
submission system and identify who is to be the corresponding author. These details must
match what appears on your manuscript. At this stage please ensure you have included all the
required statements and declarations and uploaded any additional supplementary files
(including reporting guidelines where relevant).
As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process SAGE is a
supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique
and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even
those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as
manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their
professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.
The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this
journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission
during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID
ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when
prompted, sign in to your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD
will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and
only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work
can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.
If you do not already have an ORCID iD please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID
homepage to learn more.
7.5 Information required for completing your submission
You will be asked to provide contact details and academic affiliations for all co-authors via the submission
system and identify who is to be the corresponding author. These details must match what appears on
your manuscript. The affiliation listed on the manuscript should be the institution where the research was
conducted. If an author has moved to a new institution since completing the research, the new affiliation
can be included in a manuscript note at the end of the paper. At this stage please ensure you have
included all the required statements and declarations and uploaded any additional supplementary files
(including reporting guidelines where relevant).

8. On acceptance and publication
If your paper is accepted for publication after peer review, you will first be asked to complete the
contributor’s publishing agreement. Once your manuscript files have been checked for SAGE Production,
the corresponding author will be asked to pay the article processing charge (APC) via a payment link.
Once the APC has been processed, your article will be prepared for publication and can appear online
within an average of 30 days. Please note that no production work will occur on your paper until the
APC has been received.
Your SAGE Production Editor will keep you informed as to your article’s progress throughout the production process. Proofs will be made available to the corresponding author via our editing portal SAGE Edit, or by email to the corresponding author and should be returned promptly. Authors are reminded to check their proofs carefully to confirm that all author information, including names, affiliations, sequence and contact details are correct, and that Funding and Conflict of Interest statements, if any, are accurate.
One of the many benefits of publishing your research in an open access journal is the speed to
publication. With no page count constraints, your article will be published online in a fully
citable form with a DOI number as soon as it has completed the production process. At this time
it will be completely free to view and download for all.
Publication is not the end of the process! You can help disseminate your paper and ensure it is
as widely read and cited as possible. The SAGE Author Gateway has numerous resources to help
you promote your work. Visit the Promote Your Article page on the Gateway for tips and advice.
