... , and JNCI simply developed language and updated the instructions. Five in-house PhD-level senior editors at JNCI edit all manuscripts for content and ensure that the quality of the science meets journal standards, including appropriate sexspecific reporting.

About one-third of the papers report bench-oriented research in the laboratory, one-third epidemiologic research and observational studies, and one-third clinical studies of therapeutics, prevention, or screening.
