The ethical standards and methods for the conduct of high-quality animal and human biological rhythm research are updated, which should be especially useful for new investigators of the rhythms of life.Abstract:
This article updates the ethical standards and methods for the conduct of high-quality animal and human biological rhythm research, which should be especially useful for new investigators of the rhythms of life. The editors of Chronobiology International adhere to and endorse the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines of the Committee On Publication Ethics (COPE), which encourages communication of such updates at regular intervals in the journal. The journal accepts papers representing original work, no part of which was previously submitted for publication elsewhere, except as brief abstracts, as well as in-depth reviews. The majority of research papers published in Chronobiology International entails animal and human investigations. The editors and readers of the journal expect authors of submitted manuscripts to have made an important contribution to the research of biological rhythms and related phenomena using ethical methods/procedures and unbiased, accurate, and honest reporting of findings. Authors of scientific papers are required to declare all potential conflicts of interest. The journal and its editors endorse compliance of investigators to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research of the National Research Council, relating to the conduct of ethical research on laboratory and other animals, and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association, relating to the conduct of ethical research on human beings. The peer review of manuscripts by Chronobiology International thus includes judgment as to whether or not the protocols and methods conform to ethical standards. Authors are expected to show mastery of the basic methods and procedures of biological rhythm research and proper statistical assessment of data, including the appropriate application of time series data analyses, as briefly reviewed in this article. The journal editors strive to consistently achieve high standards for the research of original and review papers reported in Chronobiology International, and current examples of expectations are presented herein.read more

Depression Scores Associate With Chronotype and Social Jetlag in a Rural Population
Rosa Maria Levandovski,Giovana Dantas,Luciana Carvalho Fernandes,Wolnei Caumo,Iraci Lucena da Silva Torres,Till Roenneberg,Maria Paz Loayza Hidalgo,Karla V. Allebrandt +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that misalignment of circadian and social time may be a risk factor for developing depression, especially in 31- to 40-yr-olds, and these relationships should be further investigated in longitudinal studies to reveal if reduction of social jetlag should be part of prevention strategies.

Sleep, Sleepiness, Fatigue, and Performance of 12-Hour-Shift Nurses
Jeanne Geiger-Brown,Valerie E. Rogers,Alison M. Trinkoff,Robert L. Kane,R. Barker Bausell,Steven M. Scharf +5 more
TL;DR: Certain nurses appear more vulnerable to sleep loss than others, as measured by attention lapses, and nurses accrue a considerable sleep debt while working successive 12-h shifts with accompanying fatigue and sleepiness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed whether chronotypes, sleep duration, and sleep sufficiency are associated with cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes by using the National FINRISK Study 2007 data (N = 6258).

Chronotype influences activity circadian rhythm and sleep: Differences in sleep quality between weekdays and weekend
Jacopo Antonino Vitale,Eliana Roveda,Angela Montaruli,Letizia Galasso,Andi Weydahl,Andrea Caumo,Franca Carandente +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that E-types accumulate a sleep deficit during weekdays due to social and academic commitments and that they recover from this deficit during “free days” on the weekend.

Time series : a biostatistical introduction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe simple descriptive methods of analysis for bivariate time-series analysis and present an approach for fitting autoregressive moving average processes to data. But they do not discuss the application of these processes to forecasting.

Circadian rhythmicity of cortisol and body temperature: morningness-eveningness effects.
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the circadian rhythm of body temperature and cortisol, as well as self-reported clock times of sleep onset and offset on weekdays and weekends in 19 healthy adult “larks” and “owls” (evening chronotypes), defined by the Horne and Östberg questionnaire.
