• The authors have received approval from the editors of both journals (the editor concerned with the secondary publication must have access to the primary version).
• The priority for the primary publication is respected by a publication interval negotiated by editors of both journals and the authors.
• The paper for secondary publication is intended for a different group of readers; an abbreviated version could be sufficient.
• The secondary version faithfully reflects the data and interpretations of the primary version.
• The secondary version informs readers, peers, and documenting agencies that the paper has been published in whole or in part elsewhere—for example, with a note that might read, "This article is based on a study first reported in the [journal title, with full reference]"—and the secondary version cites the primary reference.
• The title of the secondary publication should indicate that it is a secondary publication (complete or abridged republication or translation) of a primary publication. Of note, the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) does not consider translations to be "republications" and does not cite or index them when the original article was published in a journal that is indexed in MEDLINE.

• Original articles
Original research articles are full scientific reports of original research. The manuscript should be organized as follows: Title Page, Abstract & Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, and Figure Legends. The Results and Discussion can be combined.

• Application notes
Application notes are short communications about novel software, new algorithm implementations, databases, and network services (web servers and interfaces). The manuscripts include the following: Title Page, Abstract & Keywords, Availability, Introduction, Main Text, Conclusion, References, and Supplementary Information.

• Clinical genomics
Clinical genomics is for a short report of all kinds of genome analysis data from clinical fields, such as cancer, diverse complex diseases, and genetic diseases. Especially, Genomics & Informatics would encourage submitting cancer panel analysis data for a single cancer patient or a group of patients. Genomics & Informatics also would encourage depositing genome data into the Genomics & Informatics database. The manuscript should be organized as follows: Title Page, Abstract & Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, and Figure Legends. The Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion can be combined.

• Genome archives
Genome Archives is for a short manuscript announcing the genetic information of recently sequenced prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Genomics & Informatics would encourage depositing the genome data into the Genomics & Informatics database. These genome archive data can make the rationale for sequencing a specific organism. The manuscripts include the following: Title Page, Abstract & Keywords, Introduction, Main Text, References, Tables, and Figure Legends.

• Letters to the editor
Critical comments are welcomed for correcting errors of published facts and for providing alternative interpretations of published data. The sequence for a Letter to the Editor is the following: Title Page, Text, References, and Names and Affiliations of Authors. If needed, tables and figures can be included. A Letter to the Editor should not be longer than a printed page.

• Review articles
Review Articles are usually solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. Authors wishing to prepare a review article should contact the Editor-in-Chief to discuss the suitability of the subject for the journal. There is no specific requirement for subsections of the body text of the paper.

• Opinions / Commentaries
An opinion or commentary piece is a short article that conveys the author’s viewpoint on a research publication, including interpretation of data, value of methods used, and strengths/weaknesses, regarding any topic relevant to the field of research. Opinion (or commentary) articles provide insight, interpretation, and evaluation of specific issues, within the scope of the journal. Opinions should explain the implications of the article and describe the most important conclusions of the paper they are commenting on, highlight controversial issues, mention the strengths and weaknesses of the paper, highlight the presenter's omission of key facts, and mention supporting arguments that would create a stronger presentation. Opinions are relatively short articles, around 1000 words, allowing maximum freedom of authors’ viewpoints, and are peer-reviewed. The articles are copyedited, citable, published in both PDF and HTML formats, and submitted for indexing in digital archives (e.g., PubMed Central). Authors are not required to pay a fee to publish an opinion (or commentary) article. Commentaries have no set format beyond the basic building blocks of a regular article, i.e., title, manuscript text, subheadings as needed, references, and author information.

• Minireviews
Minireview articles are similar to review articles, except for their word limit and references. Minireviews focus on clearly defined topics of current interest, and recent developments in specific fields. Therefore, they offer a fast and easy means to keep abreast of exciting new developments and/or concepts. The word limit for minireview articles is 1000 words (or 2 double-spaced pages), with no more than 30 references. Minireview articles are peer-reviewed, copyedited, citable, published in both PDF and HTML formats, and submitted for indexing in digital archives, such as PubMed Central. Authors are required to pay a fee to publish a minireview.

• Research communications
Research communication (RC) intends to deliver significant scientific discovery with broad interest in a short format. RCs may contain unstructured main text that includes introduction, results and discussion. RCs typically have no more than 2 display items (figures and tables) and the main text (not including abstract, references, tables and figure legends) is limited to 1,500 words. RCs may have online supplementary section.

Title: The title page should include (1) the full names of all authors with their Open Researchers and Contributors ID (ORCID), and the name(s) and address(es) of the institution(s) at which the work was carried out; (2) the telephone and fax numbers, and the E-mail address of the corresponding author; and (3) a running title of no more than 50 characters, including spaces. Place an asterisk (*) after the corresponding author.

Abstract: The abstract should be unstructured and a single paragraph of fewer than 250 words. References should not be cited in the abstract. Six or fewer keywords should be appended to the abstract in alphabetical order. When possible, the keywords should be those found in the Medical Subject Headings of Index Medicus.

Main text: All papers should be divided into the following sections and appear in this order:

Authors’ contribution: If the number of authors is equal to or greater than two, the authors’ roles should be described according to their specific role. Genomics & Informatics participates in the CRediT standard for author contributions. The contributions of all authors must be described using the CRediT Taxonomy of author roles. For each of the categories below, please enter the initials of the authors who contributed in that category. If listing more than one author in a category, separate each set of initials with a space. If no one contributed in a category, you may leave that box blank. The corresponding author is responsible for completing this information at submission, and it is expected that all authors will have reviewed, discussed, and agreed to their individual contributions ahead of this time.

Conceptualization: AB
Data curation: EFG
Formal analysis: AB
Funding acquisition: CD
Methodology: AB, CD, EFG
Writing – original draft: AB, EFG
Writing – review & editing: AB, CD, EFG

Reference: The references should include only articles that are published or in press. Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, abstracts, and personal communications should be cited within the text only. References are to be numbered in the order of citation within the article in brackets. References with up to six authors must list all names; for more than six authors, the first six names should be listed, followed by “et al.” Journal name titles should be abbreviated in accordance with the NLM Catalog, available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals, or the ISO 4 standard, available from: http://www.issn.org/services/online-services/access-to-the-ltwa/?letter=a.

Examples of references are given below:

Tables and figures: Figure legends and tables should be included in the submitted manuscript as separate sections and should be formatted following the style of the journal. Each figure legend should have a brief, separate title that describes the entire figure without citing specific panels. The manuscript should be submitted with a set of figures of sufficient quality for reviewers to judge the data. All figures may be provided in color for the electronic version of the journal, even if the print version is in black and white. Figures will be printed in color only when in the reviewers' opinions the color is essential.
Photographs and illustrations should be of professional quality. Images should be provided as TIFF files. JPEG is also acceptable when the original format is JPEG. Each figure must be of 300 dpi or higher resolution with good contrast and sharpness. If a figure is to be reduced, all elements, including labels, should be able to withstand reduction and remain legible. Electron and light microscopic figures must be original or scanned copies from the original. The magnification should be indicated on each micrograph with a scale bar.
Tables are to be organized in portrait view and may run, if necessary, to subsequent pages in the vertical direction only. Tables should be designed for printing within two (17.5 cm) columns of width in no less than 10-point font and should not exceed more than the width of a journal page. If a table does not fit into this format, consider shortening row or column labels, using more than one table to display the data, eliminating unnecessary data, or converting table data into a figure or transferring part of the table data to the supplement.

Scientific names: The full formal Latin name for a taxon (e.g., Homo sapiens ) should be provided the first time that the taxon is mentioned and should be italicized. In subsequent sentences, the scientific name of all taxa in the same genus should be abbreviated to the first initial of the generic name and the species name (e.g., H. sapiens), except where this usage creates confusion or ambiguity. When common names are used, the scientific name should be provided the first time the taxon is mentioned in the abstract and again the first time that taxon is mentioned in the main manuscript [e.g., “red pine (Pinus densiflora)...”]. Other taxonomic designations (e.g., family names) should not be italicized, and common names should not be capitalized.

Units and equations: Standard metric units should be used for describing length, height, weight, and volume. The unit of temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C). All others are in terms of the International System of Units (SI). All unit symbols must be preceded by one space except percentage (%) and temperature (°C). All equations should be numbered in Arabic numerals.

Abbreviations: Abbreviations must be used as an aid to the reader, rather than as a convenience of the author, and therefore, their use should be limited. Generally, avoid abbreviations that are used less than 3 times in the text, including the tables and figure legends. In addition to abbreviations for SI units, common molecular, chemical, immunological, and hematological terms can be used without definition in the title, abstract, text, tables, and figure legends—e.g., bp, kb, kDa, DNA, cDNA, RNA, mRNA, and PCR. Other common abbreviations are as follows (the same abbreviations are used for plural forms): h (hour; use 0-24:00 h for time), s (second), min (minute), day (not abbreviated), week (not abbreviated), month (not abbreviated), year (not abbreviated), L (liter), mL (milliliter), μL (microliter), g (gram), kg (kilogram), mg (milligram), μg (microgram), ng (nanogram), pg (picogram), g (gravity; not ×g), n (sample size), SD (standard deviation of the mean), and SE (standard error of the mean).

Supplementary materials: Supplementary materials can be provided to support and enhance scientific information. Supplementary files offer additional possibilities for publishing supporting applications, sequence alignment, background datasets, microarray hybridization experiments, high-resolution images, movies, sound clips, and more. Supplementary files will be published alongside the online version of the article on the Genomics & Informatics web site. This material will not be edited or formatted; thus, the authors are responsible for the accuracy and presentation of all such material.

Gender equity (Described according to ICMJE recommendation available from:
http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/manuscript-preparation/preparing-for-submission.html)

Selection and Description of Participants Clearly describe the selection of observational or experimental participants (healthy individuals or patients, including controls), including eligibility and exclusion criteria and a description of the source population. Because the relevance of such variables as age, sex, or ethnicity is not always known at the time of study design, researchers should aim for inclusion of representative populations into all study types and at a minimum provide descriptive data for these and other relevant demographic variables. Ensure correct use of the terms sex (when reporting biological factors) and gender (identity, psychosocial or cultural factors), and, unless inappropriate, report the sex and/or gender of study participants, the sex of animals or cells, and describe the methods used to determine sex and gender. If the study was done involving an exclusive population, for example in only one sex, authors should justify why, except in obvious cases, (e.g., prostate cancer).” Authors should define how they determined race or ethnicity and justify their relevance.

Deposit policy (Self-archiving policy) according to Sherpa/Romeo

(http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/): Author can not archive pre-print (i.e., pre-refereeing). Author can archive post-print (i.e., final draft post-refereeing).
Author can archive publisher’s version/PDF.

Open data policy
Data sharing is recommended. If the data are already public, the URL site or sources should be disclosed. If data can not be publicized, it can be negotiated with the editor. If there are any inquiries on depositing data, author s should contact the editorial office.

Clinical data sharing policy
This journal follows the data sharing policy described in “Data Sharing Statements for Clinical Trials: A Requirement of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors” (https://doi.org/10.3346/jkms.2017.32.7.1051). As of July 1, 2018, manuscripts submitted to ICMJE journals that report the results of clinical trials must contain a data sharing statement as described below. Clinical trials that begin enrolling participants on or after January 1, 2019 must include a data sharing plan in the trial's registration. The ICMJE's policy regarding trial registration is explained at www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishingand-editorial-issues/clinical-trial-registration.html. If the data sharing plan changes after registration, this should be reflected in the statement submitted and published with the manuscript and updated in the registry record. Data sharing statements must indicate the following: whether individual deidentified participant data (including data dictionaries) will be shared; what data in particular will be shared; whether additional, related documents will be available (e.g., study protocol, statistical analysis plan, etc.); and when the data will become available and for how long; by what access criteria data will be shared (including with whom, for what types of analyses, and by what mechanism). Illustrative examples of data sharing statements that would meet these requirements are in Table 1.
