About the journal
|
The Journal serves as a forum to explore biochemical, biophysical, molecular, and clinical aspects of the structure, function, and metabolism of bone and other mineralized systems in living organisms. It includes reports on connective tissues and cells, ion transport, and metabolism of hormones, nutrition, mineralized tissue ultrastructure, molecular biology, and research on humans that reveal important facets of the skeleton or bear upon bone and mineral metabolism.
Calcified Tissue International is covered and abstracted in SCI, ISI/BioMed, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, Index Medicus-MEDLINE, and the Index to Dental Literature. |

Author Accounts
Authors entering the journal's Manuscript Central site can either create a new account or use an existing one. When you have an existing account, use it for all your submissions and you can track their status on the same page.
Getting Started
Once you have logged into your account, Manuscript Central will lead you through the submission process in a step-by-step orderly process. If you cannot finish your submission in one visit, you can save a draft and re-enter the process at the same point for that manuscript.
While submitting your electronic manuscript, you will be required to enter data about your manuscript in the system. These include title, subtitle, author names and affiliations, and so forth. Support for special characters is available. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email.
Uploading Files
Electronic files can be uploaded as PDF, PostScript, or RTF. PDF and PostScript files should already contain the graphics within the file. (PostScript files are converted by the system into PDF so that Editors and reviewers may share them.
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a common export property of most popular word processors. Check your word processor to see if it can export or "SaveAs" your file in RTF format. MS Word and WordPerfect both contain this function. After uploading the RTF for text, you will be prompted for uploading graphics. Common graphics files such as GIF, JPEG, EPS, TIFF and many others are supported. After uploading the parts of the article in this manner, the system will convert the files to PDF. You will see the result of the conversion with the Acrobat plug-in in your browser. Keep copies of your word-processing and graphics files. You may want to revise the manuscript during the review process and you will need the original files if your manuscript is accepted. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email.
You will also be notified by email that your submission was successful.
Graphics Quality
If you are submitting electronic graphics that you have scanned, be prepared to send the hard copy originals upon request. While the electronic files you have created are satisfactory for the review process, they may not be of sufficient quality for printing. This also holds true for files created in low-resolution graphics environments such as MS Powerpoint, etc.
Keeping Track
After submission, you may return periodically and monitor the progress of your submission through the review process.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
General
Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
Vector (line) Graphics
Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
No rules narrower than .25 pt.
No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
Halftone Illustrations
Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
Scans*
Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
Graphics from Videos
Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Video
Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
