Digital Object Identifier
Churchill Livingstone assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Due to its persistence, it can be used to query Churchill Livingstone for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various Web sites, including IDEAL, and to cite the article in academic references. When using a Churchill Livingstone article in a reference section, it is important to include the article's DOI in the reference as volume and page information is not always available for articles published online. The References section shows samples of DOI included in references. Further information may be found at http://academicpress.com/doi.

JoosU, Kleinheinz J: Reconstruction of the severely resorbed (class VI) jaws: routing or exception? J Craniomaxillofac Surg 28: 1-4, 2000. doi:10.1054/jcms.2000.0102
Figures
Line illustrations. All line illustrations should present a crisp black image on an even white background. Please bear in mind that, since figures are generally reduced to one column width (8.5 cm), any lettering on the figures should be sufficiently large to be legible after such reduction. Photographic illustrations and radiographs. These should be submitted as clear, lightly contrasted black and white prints (unmounted), sizes as above. Photomicrographs should have the magnification and details of staining techniques shown. X-ray films, should be submitted as photographic prints, carefully made to bring out the detail to be illustrated, with an overlay indicating the area of importance. Figures should be submitted appropriately lettered in capitals. The size of the letters should be appropriate to that of the illustration, taking into account the necessary size reduction. All illustrations should be clearly marked (by a label pasted on the back or by a soft crayon) with the figure number and author's name, and the top of the figure should be indicated with an arrow. Never use ink of any kind. Do not use paper clips as these can scratch or mark illustrations. Illustrations in colour cannot be accepted unless the cost of origination and publication is paid for by the author. Captions should be typed, double spaced, on separate sheets from the typescript. Patient confidentiality. Where illustrations must include recognizable individuals, living or dead and of whatever age, great care must be taken to ensure that consent for publication has been given. If identifiable features are not essential to the illustration, please indicate where the illustration can be cropped. In cases where consent has not been obtained and recognizable features may appear, it will be necessary to retouch the illustration to mask out the eyes or otherwise render the individual 'officially unrecognizable'. Permissions to reproduce borrowed illustrations or tables or identifiable clinical photographs. Written permission to reproduce borrowed material (illustrations and tables) must be obtained from the original publishers and authors, and submitted with the typescript. Borrowed material should be acknowledged in the captions in this style: 'Reproduced by the kind permission of... (publishers) from... (reference)'.

Tables
These should be double spaced on separate sheets and contain only horizontal rules. Do not submit tables as photographs. A short descriptive title should appear above each table and any footnotes, suitably identified, below. Care must be taken to ensure that all units are included. Ensure that each table is cited in the text.
Units & Abbreviations
Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. All unusual abbreviations should be fully explained at their first occurrence in the text. All measurements should be expressed in SI units. Imperial units are acceptable from USA contributors. For more detailed recommendations, authors may consult the Royal Society of Medicine publication entitled Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors.
Proprietary names of drugs, instruments, etc. should be indicated by the use of initial capital letters.
Copyright Information
In order for us to ensure maximum dissemination and copyright protection of material published in the jornal, copyright must be explicitly transferred from author to publisher.

We assure you that no limitation will be put on your personal freedom to use material contained in the paper without requesting permission, provided acknowledgement is made to the journal as the original source of publication.
Permissions Information
If illustrations are borrowed from published sources, written permission must be obtained from both publisher and author, and a credit line giving the source added to the legend. If text material totalling 250 to 300 words, or any tables, are borrowed verbatim from published sources, written permission is required from both publisher and author. With shorter quotations, it is sufficient to add a bibliographic credit. Permission letters for reproduced text or illustration must accompany the manuscript. If you have been unable to obtain permission, please point this out.
