Instructions to Authors
Categories of manuscripts
Regular Manuscripts. Manuscripts submitted in this category are expected to be concise, well organized, and clearly written. Acceptance is based on originality and importance to the field of blood and marrow transplantation. These manuscripts are reviewed by two or more experts in the field, and detailed comments from the reviewers are generally returned to the authors. Manuscripts requiring extensive revision will be at a disadvantage for publication. Manuscripts are submitted with the understanding that they are original contributions and do not contain data that have been published elsewhere, including symposia volumes, etc. Meeting abstracts do not constitute prior publication.
Rapid Communications. Definitive papers of exceptional scientific importance within the discipline of blood and marrow transplantation will be considered for expedited review and publication. Consideration as a Rapid Communication must be requested at the time of submission by the authors and requires approval by the Editorial Board. Papers that the Editors decide not to process as Rapid Communications will be handled as regular manuscripts unless the authors choose to have them returned without further review. Criteria for selection as Rapid Communications include originality, importance, and the potential value of accelerated publication to the readers of Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Decisions on these manuscripts will be made within four weeks of receipt and in general will not be accompanied by detailed reviewers' comments. Although there is no page limit for manuscripts in this category, clear and concise presentation of data is required. Manuscripts requiring extensive revisions or editing will be at a disadvantage for publication in this category. Case reports, methods papers, or preliminary studies should not be submitted for consideration as Rapid Communications.
Review Articles. Review articles on topics of broad interest are highly desired and may be solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. Individuals who wish to write a review article should correspond with the Editor in Chief regarding the appropriateness of the proposed topic. Such articles are expected to be thorough and detailed and should include appropriate references to the literature. The addition of tables and figures to summarize critical points is encouraged. These articles are reviewed by the Editors and other expert reviewers before a final decision regarding publication is made, and revisions may be required. Manuscript submission fees and page charges are not assessed on review articles.
Clinical Reviews. Short, highly focused articles that review topics related to therapy, diagnosis, or other clinical issues in hematology may be published as Clinical Reviews. Authors who wish to write a Clinical Review should correspond with the Editor in Chief regarding the proposed topic. Such manuscripts will be reviewed by expert reviewers and will be accepted for publication based on their educational value and clarity. Manuscript submission fees and page charges are not assessed on review articles.
Editorials. Concise, invited commentaries on articles published in Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation or other topics in hematology are highly desired.
Letters. Letters to the Editor are welcomed and will be published if appropriate. In addition to comments on published articles, authors should consider submitting short commentaries on topics of general interest and case reports that are particularly instructive. Letters should ordinarily be no longer than three double-spaced pages, including references. Letters should have titles.

The submitted manuscript should contain the original and two copies of all text (including tables), one floppy disk containing all text and tables, and three complete sets of figures. Sending digital figures on disk is also an option, provided clear printouts are included as well. Please clearly mark all disks with the author's name and the file format(s). Manuscripts must be printed double-spaced with margins of at least 1 inch. Alternatively, authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts via e-mail in the form of PDF files containing both text and figures together, following the same instructions for format and order as a hard copy. In this case, a signed copy of the cover letter, accompanying the submission, can be faxed separately.
Receipt of a manuscript will be acknowledged with a letter indicating the manuscript number and the Editor or Associate Editor who has assumed responsibility for review. All future communication regarding the manuscript should cite the manuscript number and should be directed to the responsible Editor or Associate Editor. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Editors, Associate Editors, and members of the Editorial Board. After review, authors will be notified by letter or fax of the decision to accept or reject the manuscript for publication. In some cases, authors will be invited to submit a revised version of the manuscript for further review. In general, revised manuscripts must be received by the responsible Editor or Associate Editor within three months of the date of the first decision or they may be considered as new manuscripts. All revised versions must follow the original submission requirements. Manuscripts will not be returned to the authors.

Authors submitting manuscripts do so with the understanding that, if accepted, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media including electronic media, shall be assigned exclusively to the ASBMT and authors will be requested to sign a copyright release form.
Organization of the manuscript
Organize submitted manuscripts as follows: Cover Letter, Title Page (including title; authors' full names, academic degrees, and affiliations; corresponding author's address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address; and a short title), Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, Figure Legends, and Figures. Manuscripts should be on standard white paper with 1-inch margins.
Cover Letter. Please identify the name, address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author. The cover letter should also specify the category of manuscript (such as Rapid Communication). Papers that the Editors decide not to process as Rapid Communications will be handled as regular manuscripts unless the authors request in the cover letter that the manuscript be returned without further review. The cover letter also should indicate where appropriate that the authors are willing to pay the extra costs involved in publishing any color photographs. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed in the cover letter. At the end of the cover letter, all authors must sign a statement that they have reviewed the manuscript, agree with its contents, and consent to its submission to BBMT.
References. Include double-spaced references in numerical order at the end of the article according to the order of citation in the text. The names of all authors should be given unless there are more than 6, in which case the names of the first 3 authors should be given, followed by ¡°et al.¡± Abbreviate the names of journals according to the abbreviations used in the latest edition of Index Medicus, Superintendent of Documents, US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. References to abstracts and letters must be appropriately identified. References to personal communications, unpublished observations, and manuscripts submitted and ¡°in preparation¡± must appear parenthetically in the text.

Footnotes and Abbreviations Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page. Abbreviations should be defined at their first use and applied consistently throughout the article. Do not use nonstandard abbreviations or abbreviate terms appearing fewer than three times. Give the chemical name of a compound after the first use of the trivial name. The trivial name may follow throughout the article.
Tables. Each table should be printed or typed on a separate page, appropriately numbered and cited in numerical order in the text. Legends giving sufficient explanation to make the data intelligible without reference to the text must be typed on the same page.
Figures and Figure Legends. Figures must be cited in the text in numerical order using arabic numerals. Submit three complete sets of clear, glossy, black and white photographs or negatives. For line drawings, either a single set of photographs with two sets of copies or three sets of high-quality laser figures are acceptable. Do not write on either the front or back of photographs. Do not mount the figures, fasten them with paper clips, or store them in clasp envelopes where the clasp can damage the photo in the mail. Figures submitted on floppy disk must be accompanied by a high-quality printout in case the file is not readable; please clearly mark the disk with the author's name, the file name, and the file format. Figure legends should be double-spaced on a separate sheet and should include a brief title and a concise explanation of each figure. Part of the cost of publishing color photographs will be borne by the authors and payment must be made to the publisher prior to publication.
PROOFS. Authors of accepted manuscripts will receive galley proofs directly from the publisher and are responsible for proofreading. Except for correcting typesetting errors, authors may be charged for extensive alterations. Galley proofs should be returned within 48 hours to avoid delay in publication.
