Scholarly journals comprise a vital part of the research process and serve multiple functions for the scientific community. Journals provide a credible information medium for the research community. The journal is a periodical that an identifiable intellectual community regards as a primary channel for communication of knowledge in its field and is one of the arbiters of the authenticity or legitimacy of that knowledge. (1) Journals communicate knowledge, symbolize the currency by which researchers build careers and legitimize research for the community. The integrity of a journal contributes to its reputation as a reliable information medium by which the research community depends for the advancement of science and for the public good. Although journals vary in quality, they all provide instructions to authors (IA). Instructions to authors published in scientific journals provide authors with the details required by a journal for manuscript preparation. They typically include information on the mechanics for manuscript preparation, such as bibliographic formats, paper size specifications, data presented in tables or illustrations, and the use of scientific terminology. These instructions are often provided in every journal issue, or are at least included in an annual issue.
