Manuscript Checks
All manuscripts uploaded to RNfinity undergo a basic screening process for offensive and/or non-scientific content and for material that might pose a health risk. Manuscripts are not certified by peer review before being posted online. We reserve the right to decline to post any preprint for any reason.
Manuscripts are not typeset before being posted online. The author's manuscript article is either submitted as, or automatically converted into, a PDF file.
Manuscript Format
Manuscript files are submitted as a single Word file which contains all parts of the manuscript including figures and tables.
Ethics and Reporting
Authors must declare at submission that all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, all necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained, all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms archived. Any clinical trials described should be registered with an internationally recognized trial registry and the trial ID included in the manuscript.
Authors must include a competing interest statement including explicit acknowledgment of whether the authors or their institutions received any payments or services in the past 36 months from a third party that could be perceived to influence, or give the appearance of potentially influencing, the submitted work.
Authors must also provide a funding statement with details of all funding that supported the work presented, including explicit acknowledgment of whether the authors or their institutions at any time received payment or services from a third party for any aspect of the submitted work.
Manuscript Revisions
Authors are free to submit a revised version of a manuscript at any time (prior to acceptance at a journal) by sending an email to rnfinity.com. The new version will use the same DOI as the original submission, which also will remain accessible on the site.
Manuscript Withdrawals
Authors may request to have their manuscript marked as "Withdrawn" if they no longer stand by their findings/conclusions or acknowledge fundamental errors in the manuscript. In these cases, a statement explaining the reason for the withdrawal is posted on the manuscript page to which the DOI defaults.
