Author Guidelines

The Journal of Oral Research is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge in  oral scienceincluding: oral surgery and medicine and rehabilitation, dentistry, orofacial pain and motor disorders, head and neck surgery, speech and swallowing disorders, and other related disciplines. The concepts, judgments and opinions expressed in the papers are the responsibility of the authors. Those interested in publishing in the Journal of Oral Research must comply with the Ethics statement and the following Instructions.

1. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS: 

• Manuscripts submitted for publication must be original and simultaneous submission to another journal is forbidden. The Journal of Oral Research retains the copyright of the published papers, including the translation. Later transcriptions are allowed, citing the source properly (J Oral Res). None of the authors will be paid.
• The Journal of Oral Research receives papers in Spanish or English. The texts and translations are the responsibility of the authors, and the texts must have a precise and clear redaction, avoiding ambiguities. All papers will be published in English.
• The Journal of Oral Research subscribes to the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and the Reporting Guidelines for Health Research Studies compiled by Equator-Network, available at http://www.equator-network.org

To ensure diversity in authorship, authors will be limited to having three manuscripts under revision at any time either as corresponding or co-authors. As such they should wait for the review process of at least one of these manuscripts to be completed before submitting another manuscript for consideration. Furthermore, authors can only publish one paper every two issues, albeit as corresponding or co-author, in order to ensure and maintain diversity in authorship.

Manuscripts in spanish, should they be accepted for publication, will be subjected to a translation fee to help defer translation costs (flat fee $100.000 clp or $135 USD). We will still receive articles in spanish and conduct the peer review process in this language as before for authors who prefer it. We will also maintain our policy of not charging any submission, handling or processing fees for publication, in our belief that financial constraints should not be a limitation for the dissemination of scientific information

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are five times more likely to have feeding difficulties than neurotypical peers, although the majority of evidence describes feeding difficulty in children age 2 years and older. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature on feeding characteristics of children age 0–24 months who were later diagnosed with ASD with an emphasis on the measurement tools used to assess these feeding behaviors. We conducted a systematic review of the literature using PRISMA guidelines. Using selected keywords, a search was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases for relevant articles to identify feeding characteristics in infants and toddlers (age 0–24 months) later diagnosed with ASD. Sixteen studies were selected for this review by two independent reviewers. Among the selected studies, feeding difficulties were reported in all infant oral feeding modalities (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and complementary feeding) by infants later diagnosed with ASD. However, the evidence was conflicting among studies regarding feeding characteristics, such as sucking differences while breastfeeding, use of the spoon with feedings, and preference of solid food texture, that presented in infants later diagnosed with ASD. A lack of consistent measurement of feeding behaviors in infants later diagnosed with ASD contributes to the difficulty in comparison across studies. Future research should focus on developing targeted, validated instruments for measuring feeding difficulty in this population with emphasis on breastfeeding and bottle feeding difficulty.
