Check scope fit
JAA considers chemical, computational, biological, food, nutritional, pharmacological, clinical and population research when an antioxidant, oxidative-stress or redox question is substantive. Reviews and study protocols can also fit. A new laboratory assay is not a universal submission requirement.
Chemical assay results and computational predictions alone do not establish a biological mechanism or clinical benefit. Population associations do not establish causation. Conclusions must remain within the design and evidence.

Article types
JAA accepts the following categories for submission. Preparation requirements are given in the Instructions for Authors.
Original Research
Analytical, experimental, computational, preclinical, clinical or observational studies with a substantive antioxidant or redox question, including appropriately designed clinical trials.
Reviews and Evidence Synthesis
Critical reviews, mini-reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses with a defined question and transparent evidence selection and interpretation.
Methods and Protocols
Assays, analytical approaches and tools supported by validation or benchmarking appropriate to their intended use; and study protocols with a clear rationale, complete planned methodology and analysis.
Short Reports and Notes
Short communications, data notes and technical notes with sufficient methods, data and interpretation to support their contribution.
Case Reports
Clinical observations with substantive antioxidant or redox relevance, appropriate consent and proportionate conclusions; a case report cannot establish general treatment efficacy.
Scholarly Discussion
Perspectives, commentaries and opinion pieces that critically address antioxidant or redox science and distinguish interpretation from established evidence.
Conference proceedings require format-specific arrangements with the editorial office. Historical archive labels do not automatically define an open submission category.
Prepare the record
Before opening ManuscriptZone, assemble the manuscript and every file needed to assess the work.
- Identity and responsibility. Provide the title page, all author names and affiliations, corresponding-author contact details, and confirmation that all co-authors approve the submission.
- Scientific account. Include an abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, limitations, data-availability statement and references appropriate to the article type.
- Design-specific record. Include assay conditions, standards and controls for laboratory work; model description, validation and uncertainty for computational work; participants, outcomes and bias assessment for human studies; evidence-selection methods for reviews; or complete planned methodology and analysis for protocols.
- Evidence files. Prepare the figures, tables and supplementary material referred to in the manuscript.
- Ethics and declarations. Include applicable human- or animal-research approval, clinical-trial registration, conflicts of interest, funding and data-access information.
- Cover letter. Explain the manuscript's scope fit and identify the evidence level supported by the study.
What happens next
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Editorial decisions are based on scientific and ethical considerations and remain independent of any fee or service.
When charges apply
There is no charge to submit a manuscript or for it to be reviewed. An article processing charge applies only after editorial acceptance. Rejection does not create an APC.
Four current fee categories are listed on the Article Processing Charges page. Confirm the rate for an unlisted submission format with the editorial office before submission.
