title: [Skills Improvement Seminar for Submitting Articles to the Prosthodontic Research & Practice Journal. Part I. Guidelines for manuscript submission].
abstract: In the scientific meetings of the Japan Prosthodontic Society, many high-level research presentations are given, and yet a large proportion of the presentations have not been published. Since 2002, the Japan Prosthodontic Society has published PRP (Prosthodontic Research & Practice), which is the official English journal of the Society, to introduce scientific data of research in the field of prosthodontics internationally. PRP will be published quarterly from 2006. The editorial committee of the Japan Prosthodontic Society tries to give advice to authors, and to publish the prepublication paper in the PRP journal not as a rejection but as a correction. In order to give members of the Japan Prosthodontic Society a better understanding of the PRP journal, we held a Skills Improvement Seminar for Submitting Articles to the PRP at the 114th scientific meeting (Niigata) and the local branch scientific meetings. This paper summarizes the first half of the seminar and describes the editing work of PRP.
