1. Submission Requirements

  • Manuscripts must conform to "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (N Engl J Med. 1997;336:309-315).
  • Manuscripts may not contain previously published material or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
  • Manuscripts that have been evaluated by one ATVB office may not be submitted to another ATVB office.

Journal Categories
Original Contributions. Manuscripts should not exceed 5000 words, including title page, abstract, references, tables, and figure legends (about 20 double-spaced, typewritten pages total). There should be no more than six figures and/or tables.
Rapid Communications. Brief manuscripts, representing important new insights or major advances. Review of these manuscripts will be expedited. Publication will be online only. Length should not exceed 3000 total words, including title page, abstract, text, references, tables, and figure legends. There should be no more than three figures.
Letters to the Editor express views about articles published in ATVB, or present preliminary hypotheses or findings of scientific interest. Letters should be no longer than 500 words, excluding references. The editor invites responses to letters as appropriate. Authors must double-space text and references, provide a brief title, and obtain signatures from all authors on a copyright transfer agreement. Letters may be edited.
Invited Brief Reviews. Invited articles by internationally recognized authors presented on a variety of timely topics. Guidelines will be provided at the time that the review is invited.
Editorials. Invited editorial comments represent opinions of recognized leaders. Length generally is 500 to 1500 words.

2. Submission
Online: An online submission module is available at www.atvb.org and is the preferred method of submission. The following items must be forwarded to the editorial office within 48 hours of completion of online submission:

  1. two full sets of glossy figures
  2. copyright transfer agreement
  3. acknowledgement release signatures, if applicable
  4. cover letter with all required items

Hard copy: Manuscripts may be sent to one of the ATVB editorial offices listed on this page. Include:
  1. A cover letter that includes a statement of submission (see below) and office preference. Authors should suggest six to eight potential reviewers, with address, email address, and fax number, who are expert in the area of research and who do not have a conflict of interest. It is especially helpful to suggest three to four members of the editorial board.
  2. Four copies of the manuscript. Each copy should include the title page, abstract, text, tables, figure legends, and one photocopied set of illustrations attached to each copy of the manuscript. Two sets of original photographs, with high-quality photocopies, are sufficient.
  3. Stamped, self-addressed large envelopes should be sent if authors would like the figures to be returned.
  4. Copyright transfer agreement hand-signed by all authors. The agreement after the "Instructions" in this issue may be photocopied and mailed or faxed to the editorial office.
  5. A statement of submission: "All authors have read and approved the submission of the manuscript; the manuscript has not been published and is not being considered for publication elsewhere, in whole or in part, in any language, except as an abstract. The manuscript has not been submitted previously to another ATVB editorial office."
  6. One copy of the authors' prior work (in preparation, submitted, in press, or published), if the work potentially overlaps with the submitted manuscript or provides information essential to the reviewer's understanding of the manuscript.
  7. Signatures must be provided from all persons acknowledged, stating that they have seen and approved mention of their names in the article.
  8. All sources of support must be cited.
  9. All potential conflicts of interest related to the manuscript must be stated.
  10. A diskette, CD, or ZIP disk in IBM PC–compatible format containing the final version accompanied by a diskette submission form.

3. General Instructions

  • Type manuscripts double-spaced including title page, abstracts, text, references, figure legends, and tables, on one side of the page only. Original contributions generally should not exceed 5000 words. There generally should be no more than six figures and tables. Complex or multipanel figures should be counted as more than one figure. Eliminate redundancy, emphasize the central message, and provide only the data necessary to convey that message.
  • Leave 1-inch margins on all sides. Do not use justified margins.
  • Cite references, figures, and tables in numeric order. If any material has been published previously (figures, tables, etc), provide written permission from the copyright holder to use such material.
  • Use SI units of measure. Conventionally used measurement may follow in parentheses. Make all conversions before manuscript submission.
  • Consult the American Medical Association Manual of Style, 9th ed, Baltimore, MD, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1998, for style.
  • Assemble the manuscript in this order: title page, abstract, condensed abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, figure legends, tables, and figures.
  • Consult current issues for guidance on format.

4. Title Page
Title page must include:

  • Full title, limited to 120 characters. Farther down on the page, the first author's surname and a short title (total characters must not exceed 50, including spaces) to be typeset at the top of the journal page. The short title also will be used for the Table of Contents on the cover.
  • Authors' names, authors' affiliations, name and complete address for correspondence (be sure to include street address, post office box, fax number, telephone number, and email address for corresponding authors), and address for reprints if different than address for correspondence.
  • Word count of body, including references and figure legends, legends; word count of abstract; and total number of figures and tables.
  • ATVB recognizes and acknowledges "equal contributions" by the first two authors on a list of multiple authors. Note this equal contribution on the title page.

5. Abstract

  • Do not cite references in abstract.
  • Limit use of acronyms and abbreviations.
  • Be concise - 200 words maximum.
  • Use the following headings: Objective (rationale for study), Methods and Results, Conclusions.
  • Include a condensed abstract (no more than 50 words) for use in annotated table of contents. No headings are needed. Focus on objectives, conclusions, and implications.
  • Provide five key words for use as indexing terms. These key words or phrases may repeat words in the title.

6. Text

  • Follow the guidelines in "General Instructions."
  • The following headings should be used for Rapid Communications and Original Contributions: Methods, Results, and Discussion. There are no separate headings for introduction and summaries.
  • Abbreviations must be defined at first mention in the text.
  • Methods section. A brief Methods section (one to two pages) is recommended, with supplementary information to be published online only. For animals used in experiments, state the species, strain, number used, and other pertinent descriptive characteristics. For human subjects or patients, describe their characteristics. When describing surgical procedures in animals, identify the preanesthetic and anesthetic agents used and state the amount or concentration and the route and frequency of administration for each. The use of paralytic agents, such as curare or succinylcholine, is not an acceptable substitute for anesthetics. For other invasive procedures on animals, report the analgesic or tranquilizing drugs used. If none were used, provide justification for such exclusion. Generic names of drugs must be given. Manuscripts that describe studies on humans must indicate that the study was approved by an institutional review committee and that the subjects gave informed consent. Reports of studies on both animals and humans must indicate that the procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines. New DNA sequences should be submitted to GenBank and the accession number incorporated into the text of the manuscript.
  • Acknowledgments. The Acknowledgments section recognizes all sources of support for research, plus substantive contributions of individuals. When expressing appreciation to another scientist for assistance with research or manuscript, enclose written permission since such an acknowledgment may imply endorsement of data and conclusions. All persons acknowledged must have seen and approved mention of their names in the article.

7. References

  • Accuracy of references is the author's responsibility. Verify all entries against original sources, especially journal titles, inclusive page numbers, publication dates, accents, diacritical marks, and spelling in languages other than English.
  • All authors must be listed in references. Shortened lists of author names followed by "et al" must be replaced with complete information.
  • Cite references in numerical order according to first mention in text.
  • Ensure accuracy in spelling and details of publication.
  • Personal communications, unpublished observations, and submitted manuscripts are not legitimate references. They must be cited in the text as "(unpublished data, 19XX)."
  • Abstracts may be cited only if they are the sole source and must be identified in the reference as "Abstract."
  • "In press" citations must have been accepted for publication and the name of the journal or book publisher included.

8. Figures and Legends

  • The total number of figures and/or tables is limited to six. Additional figures may be submitted for publication online.
  • Figures are either black and white line drawings, graphs, color, or halftones (photographs). Authors are responsible for the cost of printing color illustrations. Authors' costs for color illustrations can be reduced by publication of the color figures as an online data supplement. Figures published as online data supplements, however, will not be included in reprints.
  • Artwork must be prepared using professional standards, and photographed as camera-ready, unmounted, glossy prints if line drawings, photomicrographs, color, or halftones. Note that computer-generated laser prints reproduce better if printed on glossy computer paper, and therefore, one set of glossy prints is required.
  • Photocopies of figures must be attached to each manuscript. Photocopies of the figures, now part of each manuscript, will be sent out for review. Original figures will be sent out for review if photocopies are not adequate. Please send five sets of original figures if they will not photocopy well. Flaws will not be corrected.
  • Please identify on the figure any lanes, bars, panels, etc. Do not, as an alternative, designate those lanes, bars, or panels by an alphanumeric code. In addition, letters and locants must be uniform in size and color.
  • Supply a scale bar with photomicrographs.
  • Provide double-spaced copy for figure legends on a separate page in the manuscript.
  • If there are any abbreviations that are not defined in the main text, they must be defined in the figure legend.
  • Artwork Guidelines (PDF)
  • Digital art submission:
    1. A camera-copy high-quality print must accompany all digital art submission.
    2. Artwork should be submitted in final size and should be cropped as needed.
    3. Files should be saved as and submitted in TIFF or EPS format.
    4. Color files should be submitted as CMYK (not RGB).
    5. Files downloaded from the Web or Internet (JPEG or GIF) will NOT reproduce well in print. Therefore we cannot accept JPEG or GIF files or files downloaded from the Internet.
    6. Line art should be saved at a resolution of at least 1200 dpi; photographs, CT scans, radiographs, etc. should be saved at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Images saved at 72 dpi are not acceptable for printed publications.
    7. Save each figure in a separate file.
    8. Include a directory on the digital file indicating the article and figure numbers.
    9. Please use information on submitting digital art to Cadmus Journal Services at http://cjs.cadmus.com/da/.

9. Cover Figures

  • Authors are encouraged to submit a color figure for consideration as a potential cover illustration. The figure should illustrate a major finding or concept.
  • The figure may consist of a figure or a portion of a figure in the manuscript or may be entirely different. A photograph or diagram is appropriate.
  • A very brief caption (generally less than 10 words) should be included.
  • Only two copies should be included.

10. Tables

  • Each table must begin on a separate page, double-spaced. The table number should be Arabic followed by a period and a brief informative title. Tables should be submitted on the diskette with the manuscript.
  • Use same size type as in text.
  • Supply a brief heading for each column.
  • Indicate footnotes in tables by symbols in this order: *, ? ? ? ||, ? #, **.
  • Do not use vertical lines in the tables. Use horizontal lines above and below the column headings and at the bottom of the table only. Use extra space to delineate sections within the table.
  • If there are abbreviations or symbols in the tables that are not defined in the main text, they must be defined in the table legend.

11. Online Publication Information

  • Online publication provides an opportunity for authors to present additional information and/or information not geared to text. Material to be published as an online-only data supplement must be supplied on a separate diskette in an IBM PC–compatible format, preferably with either .jpg or .pdf file extensions. The editorial office is not responsible for converting files to a suitable format or for extracting data supplement material from the print manuscript disk. Please number items to be published in print using the Arabic system (1 to 5) and items to be published online only using the Roman system (I to V). When referring to online-only material in the print version of the manuscript, use the phrase "please see http://atvb.ahajournals.org." If citations are made in a data supplement, the data supplement must contain its own independent reference section. Data supplements appear only online and will not appear in reprints of the article.
  • Color reprints are not available for articles that appear online only.

12. Permissions

  • Address requests for permission to reproduce figures, tables, or portions of articles originally published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology to: Rights & Permission Desk, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 351 West Camden Street, Baltimore, MD 21201-2436; Phone 410-528-4050; Fax 410-528-8550; Email: dobrien@lww.com

13. Costs to Authors

  • Authors are charged $60 per printed page of an article to defray costs of publication (information is sent with author's proof)
  • Expense for color reproduction of figures (estimate of cost will be provided by the publisher for author's approval)
  • Expense for replacing poor-quality art
  • Expense for reprints (price lists are sent with author's proof), $50 per printed page for excessive author alterations
  • $100 per page for printing a correction (erratum) after publication of the article that results from an author's error
