Much editorial time will be saved (and your paper will get into print sooner) if you adhere to this guide, and prepare your manuscript according to what follows. From experience, we know there are some aspects of preparation that authors tend to overlook. These are indicated within the Author's Checklist. This checklist is the one used by the editors and sub-editors so please use it yourself.
EDITORIAL POLICY
All material submitted for publication is assumed to be submitted exclusively to the Eur J Anaesthesiol unless otherwise stated. Submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail within a reasonable time and we will allocate you a unique reference code for your manuscript. You must use this code in every kind of contact with us after that. It is absolutely essential that we have your correct e-mail, fax and telephone numbers. Do not make submissions by e-mail in the first instance - go through the procedures outlined below. If you have not heard from us after a period of 3-4 weeks you must contact us again in case of loss. It is a condition of acceptance for publication that copyright becomes vested in the Journal and permission to republish must be obtained from Greenwich Medical Media Ltd.
If your paper is rejected it will not be returned; we will keep it on file for three months and then destroy it. However, any original drawings and photographs will be returned if you ask us within this time limit.
We only publish case reports in the format of a 'Letter to the Editor'.
Papers based on clinical investigation must conform to ethical standards as set out in the Declaration of Helsinki. Information or illustrations must not permit identification of patients, and the patient's written consent must be sought for any photograph. Reports describing data obtained from experiments performed in animals must clearly indicate that humane standards were adhered to.
Papers will be refereed and assessed statistically before acceptance. Priority and time of publication of accepted material will be decided by the editor. The editor retains the right to shorten material accepted for publication. This may include sub-editing the text for style.
Illustrations and other material obtained from other sources must be acknowledged and permission for reproduction must be obtained from the editor and publisher. All submissions must be accompanied by a letter, signed by all the authors which states that all the undersigned have contributed to the paper and are familiar with the contents of t he final draft. The letter should also state whether any author has any conflict of interest, for example if an author is a paid consultant for a pharmaceutical company involved in the submission, or otherwise having an interest. You must declare sources of funding and any related interest in the Acknowledgements section.
RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS AND SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS
Authors are requested to report these in accordance with the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement [JAMA 1996; 276: 637-639], and the QUOROM (Quality of Reporting of Meta-analyses) statement [Lancet 1999; 354:1896-1900], respectively. This ensures that enough information is provided for editors, peer reviewers, and readers to see how the study was performed and to judge whether the findings are likely to be reliable.
Please provide the following (paper and electronic copies):
- A flow chart showing the progress of participants (for randomized trials) and retrieved reports (for systematic reviews) through the study.
- A checklist for editors and reviewers (not for publication) showing that you have described the recommended respective key points in your report.
MANUSCRIPTS
Send two copies of each manuscript. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals' (Br Med J 1991; 302: 338-341). Paper size should be A4. The web page of the Br Med J which is a very full one, with lots of advice and cross-indexing to other information on clinical trials, etc., is www.bmj.com/guides/advice.shtml (see below for submission of manuscripts by electronic means).
Keep one copy for reference and checking of proofs. Type everything including the references double-spaced on one side of the paper with a 2.5 cm (1 in) margin on the left side of the sheet, and 2.5 cm (1 in) margins top, bottom and right. Do not right-align; leave a ragged right edge. Leave a blank line between paragraphs, and do not indent the first line of paragraphs.
Drugs should be given their official (not proprietary) names and the source of any new or experimental preparation should be given. Abbreviations should be avoided in the text whenever possible and never used in the Summary (but see illustrations, below). If abbreviations are unavoidable, they must be spelt out when first used in the text. Scientific measurements should be given in SI units. Blood pressure, however, may be expressed in mmHg and haemoglobin as g dL-1 (note there is no full stop, i.e. g.dL-1 is incorrect). Full stops should not be used after contractions or abbreviations. Abbreviations, if used, should conform to Units, Symbols, and Abbreviations. A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors, 5th Edition (1994). Royal Society of Medicine Press, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1M 8AE, UK.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Most illustrations are produced using computer graphics software. It is essential that all the lines and lettering are thick enough to bear reduction for printing. We suggest you use bold Arial font for lines and lettering. Do not put the title on the face of the figure. The title, and any descriptive text, should be on a separate page called 'Legends to Tables and Figures' (see below). Do not put a box around the figure. Do not use colours unless you wish to pay for colour. Do not use 3D. Do not use the solidus or slash symbol (/) in illustrations (we use the superscript convention for units), or anywhere else in the manuscript (see above under Manuscripts). Use only a white background. Text labels for axes, etc. should be in lowercase lettering except for the first letter of the first word.
Use the following common symbols in sequence (open and closed versions of: circles, squares, upright triangles, inverted triangles and diamonds):
There must be a title for each illustration. Also provide some accompanying text to describe the illustration fully, giving the meaning of all symbols, error bars, and abbreviations (abbreviations are permitted on illustrations when there is insufficient space for the full description). The captions should be grouped and numbered on a separate page after the section for References.
We need the artwork in an electronic form. It is easier for the editors to make adjustments to figures if you use Microsoft PowerPoint or Word for Windows. Photographs can be in PowerPoint or as TIFF files, but you must make sure that the quality (resolution) of your illustrations is high to allow satisfactory reproduction. If you do not use a computer, line drawings should be in thick black Indian ink on heavy white paper or card with any labelling on a separate sheet. Line drawings may be submitted as photographic prints but there is the risk of errors due to spelling mistakes and failure to conform to our conventions. Write the number of the illustration, together with the corresponding author's name and an arrow to denote the top, on a sticky label and then affix it to the back of the illustration.
TABLES
Tables are numbered in order with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...) consecutively in order of appearance. Each must be on a separate sheet of paper and must have a title and an explanatory caption above the tabular material. Do not use the solidus (/) symbol for units in tables (see above under Manuscripts and Illustrations). Use double-spacing throughout. Do not number pages containing tables. Tables should not be submitted as photographs.
TEXT
The manuscript should normally consist of the following sections in order: title page, summary and keywords, text, acknowledgements, references, legends for any tables and figures, tables and figures. Number the pages consecutively (in the upper right-hand corner of each page), beginning with the title page, up to and including the pages for the references.
In order to determine conventional points of grammar, spelling, use of proper names and specialized usage that can cause confusion, The Times Guide to English Style and Usage, compiled by Tim Austin, may be consulted when preparing manuscripts. For enquiries, e-mail: bookshop@the-times.co.uk
THE TITLE PAGE
Paginate the title page as page 1 of the manuscript. Type the main title in capitals across the centre of the page, and suggest a subsidiary running title containing no more than 50 characters (including spaces). Beneath the title, type IN CAPITALS the names of the authors. Put initials before surname. Do not give degrees or designations. If there is more than one author, type the word 'and' before the name of the last author. Type a line across the title page below the authors' names. Below this line type the names, degrees and designations in the standard way, in upper and lower case.
Where authors' present addresses differ from those at which their work was carried out, these should be given as a footnote and referenced to the appropriate place in the authors' list.
Put the name and address, the e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author in the top left-hand corner of the title page. All proofs and other correspondence will be sent to this author.
STRUCTURED SUMMARY
The summary, which will be printed at the beginning of the paper, should normally not be more than 250 words. Do not use abbreviations. Type it on a separate sheet in the form of a single paragraph with the following headings and information:
Background and objective: Including a clear statement of the main aim of the study and the major hypothesis tested or research question posed.
Methods: Including design, setting, participants, interventions, and main outcome measurers.
Results: Main result with (for quantitative studies) 95% confidence intervals and, where appropriate, the exact level of statistical significance.
Conclusions: Primary conclusions and their implications, suggest areas for further research if appropriate.
It should be usable as it stands by abstracting journals. Because of this it should contain some numerical data (if appropriate), not just statistical statements, and it should not contain abbreviations or references. This should be paginated as page 2.
Keywords are listed as a separate paragraph at the end of the summary. Do not invent your own keywords. If you do not know the correct keywords use the PubMed web site ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/). MeSH is the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles in PubMed. MeSH terminology provides a consistent way to retrieve information that may use different terminology for the same concepts. In this browser, under 'PubMed Services' click on MeSH browser and enter likely words: a hierarchical tree of keywords will be displayed and you should use the relevant parts of it. If the word you entered is not a correct MeSH term you will be offered alternatives to explore.
Keywords must include a generic title such as: ANAESTHETIC TECHNIQUES, followed by the details such as 'brachial plexus block'. Note punctuation: a comma (,) follows the generic title: a semicolon (;) follows the list of detail terms. If more than one detail, separate each with a comma (,).
REMAINDER OF TEXT
Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion (all headed as such) follow in sequence. There are three types of heading:
i. Bold across the centre of the page;
ii. Italics typed to the left-hand side of the page above the paragraph which they precede;
iii. and, italics at the beginning of a paragraph, either followed by a full stop or as part of the first sentence of the paragraph.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Type Acknowledgements on a separate, paginated, sheet. You must make reference within the acknowledgements any financial interests or sponsorship of any type.
REFERENCES
Start a new sheet. Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in the text, tables and legends by Arabic numerals, enclosed in square brackets on the line (not superscript). References cited only in tables or in legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or illustration.
Use the form of reference adopted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and used in Index Medicus. If in doubt, look up the reference list of a recent paper published in the Eur J Anaesthesiol.
Avoid citing abstracts unless from a recognized journal, and only those published within the last three years. Unpublished observations and personal communications should not be used as references, although references to written (not verbal) communications may be inserted (in parentheses) in the text. Manuscripts that have been accepted but not yet published should be included in the list, followed by (in press). Information from manuscripts not yet accepted may be cited only in the text as (unpublished observations). Authors should verify references against the original documents before submitting the article.
In the full list of references give the names and initials of all authors. If there are more than six, cite only the first three names followed by et al. The authors' names are followed by the title of the article: the title of the journal (italics) abbreviated according to the style of Index Medicus: the year of publication: the volume number (in bold): the first and last page numbers in full followed by a full stop. Titles of books should be followed by the town and country of publication, the publisher, the year and inclusive page numbers. See the following examples:
Pollard BJ, Bryan A, Bennett D et al. Recovery after oral surgery with halothane, enflurane, isoflurane or propofol anaesthesia. Br J Anaesth 1994; 72: 559-566.
Korttila K. Recovery period and discharge. In: White P, ed. Outpatient Anaesthesia. New York, USA: Churchill Livingstone Inc, 1990: 369-395.
CORRESPONDENCE SECTION
Items in the Correspondence section are peer reviewed by experts. Please look at a very recent copy of the Eur J Anaesthesiol to see how the material should be presented. The format (layout) for the Correspondence section is quite different from our other articles. The absolute maximum is 1450 words, which must include the space for any tables and illustrations (this is approximately two sides of printed matter in the Journal). The title sheet should be Page 1, and at the top left-hand side of this sheet there should be the name and address, telephone, fax and e-mail of the corresponding author. References are limited to seven. We need two paper copies, a floppy PC-formatted disk, and a covering letter signed by all authors.
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION
We need a word-processed file of your manuscript submitted with the paper copy.
Please ensure the following:
¡¤ The final version of the hard copy and the file on disk must be exactly the same.
¡¤ All text parts of the paper must be in a single file. It is also helpful if you can try to include any tables and figures at the end of this file as it reduces the number of files to a minimum.
¡¤ Use as little formatting as possible within the text, i.e. avoid the 'style' functions of your word processor.
¡¤ Do not use the carriage return (enter key) at the end of lines within a paragraph.
¡¤ Turn the hyphenation option off.
¡¤ Take care not to use 1 (lower case ell) for 1 (one), 0 (capital letter o) for 0 (zero) or ?(German esszett) for ?(beta).
¡¤ To separate items in tables, use a tab, not spaces.
¡¤ If you use a table editor function, ensure that each item is contained within a unique cell, i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells.
¡¤ The floppy disk should be formatted as a PC disk.
¡¤ We need to know: the disk filename(s), the operating system (e.g. MS-DOS, Mac), and the word-processing software (including version number). These should be written on the disk label, along with the first author's name and a couple of identifying words from the title of the paper.
In a covering note, specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters.
PROOFS AND REPRINTS
After acceptance of an article, the manuscript will be prepared for press. Proofs will be sent via e-mail as an Acrobat PDF (portable document format) file. The e-mail server must be able to accept attachments up to 4 MB in size. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following Web site:
