Journal of Cancer Survivorship - Common Reasons Papers May Be Rejected

This journal prioritizes papers that focus on cancer survivors post primary treatment for cancer although the journal will accept longitudinal or prospective studies that follow individuals prior to, during and following treatment when these papers highlight the impact on the post primary cancer treatment period for any length of time thereafter.

JCSU editors reject many papers without peer review for a few common reasons. To help you decide whether JCSU is right for your manuscript, and to prepare your submission, please be aware that we check papers against the following criteria before peer review, and papers not meeting these criteria are likely to be rejected without review.

  • Review papers must be systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses. Scoping reviews will not be considered.
  • Papers should predominantly focus on the survivorship period post diagnosis and post primary cancer treatment.
  • Papers are accepted from around the globe but submissions must be written in clear and concise English.
  • Conclusions must be justified by the data; in particular papers without adequate control or comparison groups are likely to be returned.
