Submission of papers
The British Journal of Haematology invites papers on original research in clinical, laboratory and experimental haematology. All papers should include only new data which have not been published elsewhere. All authors are expected to disclose any commercial affiliations as well as consultancies, stock or equity interests and patent-licensing arrangements that could be considered to pose a conflict of interest regarding the submitted article. Specifics of such disclosures will remain confidential. If appropriate, general statements in the acknowledgements regarding such disclosures may be recommended by the editors.
Ethical policy
When reporting research on human subjects, the work must comply with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (1964), and authors should indicate that ethical approval of the study was granted, and, where appropriate, that informed consent was given. The Editors reserve the right to reject a paper with questionable ethical justification.
Research papers
The majority of papers published in the Journal report original research into scientific and clinical haematology. All papers are subject to review and authors are urged to be brief; long papers with many tables and figures may require shortening if they are to be accepted for publication.
Short reports
Short reports which offer significant insight into scientific and clinical haematological processes may be published. They may include up to 1000 words of text, two figures or tables and up to 12 references. A summary of up to 100 words should be followed by continuous text, subdivided if appropriate. Short reports could include important preliminary observations, short methods papers, therapeutic advances, and any significant scientific or clinical observations which are best published in this format. Publication of initial results which will lead to more substantial papers will generally be discouraged. Although submission of case reports is not encouraged, these will be considered if the report includes novel scientific material or is of especial clinical interest. Authors will receive proofs.
Annotations and reviews
These are normally invited contributions but suitable papers may be submitted to the Editor for consideration for this purpose. Previous issues of the Journal should be consulted for style of contribution and length.
Letters to the Editor
Correspondence which relates to papers which have recently appeared in the Journal may be published. The Editor reserves the right to invite response from the original authors for publication alongside. In addition, letters dealing with more general scientific matters of interest to haematologists will be considered. Letters should be as short as possible (but no more than 600 words of text, one figure or table and up to six references). Authors will not receive proofs.
Images in Haematology
Authors can submit for consideration an illustration (or, where appropriate, two or more related images) which is interesting, instructive and visually attractive, with a few lines of explanatory text and usually one or two contributors. The images (e.g. a clinical photograph, radiology, cytology, histology, a laboratory test) should be submitted in a digital format online at http://bjh.manuscriptcentral.com. High-quality glossy prints, transparencies, or digital files (see http://www.blackwellpublishing.comauthors/digill.asp) should be sent to the BJH Office on acceptance. The image may also appear in its entirety or in part on the front cover of the journal.
Announcements
Information about scientific meetings that are likely to be of general interest to readers of the Journal may be published at the discretion of the Editor. These should be sent to the Editor as early as possible prior to the event. Text should be as concise as possible, with a maximum of 150 words.
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be formatted with wide margins and bear the title of the paper with the name and address of the author(s), together with the name of the hospital, laboratory or institution where the work has been carried out. Authorship should be restricted to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the study. The name, full postal address and e-mail address of the author to whom readers should address correspondence and reprint requests should be given on the first page; this will appear as a footnote in the journal and the publishers will send proofs to this author at the given address unless contrary instructions are written on the manuscript. Correspondence during the peer-review process will be with the author indicated during submission. A running short title of not more than 60 characters and spaces should be included. An informative summary of not more than 200 words must be included at the beginning of the paper and supplied when prompted during the online submission process. Papers should normally be divided into summary, introduction, methods (and/or materials), results, discussion, acknowledgements and references. SI units should be used throughout. DNA, gene and protein nomenclature should be standardized as follows:
1) Genes and alleles should be italicized capitals;
2) Proteins should be small case, not italicized;
3) cDNA etc should remain as, e.g. BCL-2 cDNA;
4) D numbers should be as in the HUGO document.
The Editor reserves the right to make textual changes.
On acceptance, one hard copy of the manuscript should be sent to the BJH Office. The manuscript should be printed on one side of the paper only. A disk with the final versions of the files (identical to the hard copy) should be included. High quality versions of figures (glossy prints, transparencies and/or digital files) should be provided. If supplying digital files, ensure a sufficient quality hard copy version is supplied for comparison.
Keywords
Five keywords must be supplied after the summary.
Headings
The main categories of headings are side capitals, side italics and shoulder italics. If necessary, small capitals may be used for subsidiary main headings. For examples see articles in a recent issue of the Journal.
Illustrations
Illustrations should be referred to in text as, e.g., Fig 2, Figs 2, 4?, using Arabic numbers. Individual figure files should bear a reference number corresponding to a similar number in the text, prints should be marked on the back with the name(s)of the author(s) and the title of the paper. Where there is doubt as to the orientation of an illustration the top should be marked with an arrow. Photographs and photomicrographs should be unmounted glossy prints and should not be retouched.
Where printed, diagrams should be on separate sheets. Lines should be of sufficient thickness to stand reduction. Each illustration should be accompanied by a legend clearly describing it. In the full-text online edition of the journal, figure legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the full-screen version. Therefore the first 100 characters of any legend should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure.
It is the policy of the Journal for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork. Therefore, please note that if there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Blackwell Publishing require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF* from the internet. The web address for the form is:
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/Upw3000_X_CoW.pdf
If you are unable to access the internet, or are unable to download the form, please contact the Editorial Office and they will be able to email or fax a form to you. Once completed, please return the form to the Editorial Office. Any article received by Blackwell Publishing with colour work will not be published until the form has been returned.
Electronic artwork
We would like to receive the artwork accompanying accepted manuscripts in electronic form. Please save vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) in encapsulated Postscript format (EPS), and bitmap files (e.g. half-tones) in tagged image file format (TIFF). Always enclose hard copies of digitally supplied figures. Ideally, vector graphics that have been saved in metafile (.WMF) or pict (.PCT) format should be embedded within the body of the text file. Detailed information on our digital illustration standards is available at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
Tables
Tables should be as few as possible and should include only essential data; they should be printed on separate sheets and should be given Roman numerals.
References
Only papers closely related to the author's work should be cited. References should be made by giving the author's surname with the year of publication in parentheses. Where the reference contains more than two authors it should be given at each mention in the text with only the first surname plus et al, e.g. Jones et al (1948). If several papers by the same author(s) and from the same year, or by the same author but different subsequent authors in the same year, are cited, a, b, c, etc., should be put after the year of publication, e.g. Jones et al (1948a, b). All references should be brought together at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, with all authors, titles of journals spelt out in full, and with both first and last page numbers given. The style to be used is that of any recent issue of the Journal.
Disk submission
A disk and a hard copy of the final version of the manuscript or letter must be provided. Accepted manuscripts will be published from disk and therefore must be provided in this form. This reduces typesetting errors and speeds up publication. Authors must ensure that all sections of their paper, excluding figures, are presented in a single file, updated to incorporate all revisions, and that the version on the diskette matches the final hard copy. Digital figures can be included on floppy disk, 100MB Zip disk, CD-R or transferred by FTP.
Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two issues after publication.
