REPORTING CHECKLISTS
In an attempt to improve the quality of research reports in the journal, Headache now requires a completed reporting checklist as a condition of article submission. A table detailing the Study Type and appropriate checklist can be found here.
It is a mandatory requirement that a reporting checklist is submitted. We urge you, while completing this form, to consider amending your manuscript to ensure your article addresses all issues raised by the reporting checklist, where appropriate. Taking the time to ensure your manuscript meets these basic reporting needs will greatly improve your manuscript, potentially enhancing its chances for eventual publication.
An article from Elizabeth Loder and Donald Penzien provides more information on the need for Reporting Checklists and can be found here.

Formatting for Headache style:
• Structured Abstract. - Headache requires that all original articles submitted include a structured abstract [2] that lists: Objective, Background, Design or Methods (or both), Results, and Conclusions. The abstract should be understandable without access to the entire article. Do not cite references or use
abbreviations in the abstract.
• Arrange components of the manuscript in the following order: structured abstract, text, references, tables in numerical sequence, and the fi gures with legends. Begin each component on a separate page. Number all pages consecutively, starting with the title page. Double-space all text.
• Please check all tables and fi gures have been submitted (including title and legend)
• All artwork MUST be submitted in digital format. There are three preferred formats for digital artwork submission: Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Portable Document Format (PDF), and Tagged Image Format (TIFF). We suggest that line art be saved as EPS fi les. Alternately, these may be saved as PDF files at 600 dots per inch (dpi) or better at fi nal size. Tone art, or photographic images, should be saved as TIFF files with a resolution of 300 dpi at final size. For combination figures, or artwork that contains both photographs and labeling, we recommend saving fi gures as EPS fi les, or as PDF fi les with a resolution of 600 dpi or better at fi nal size. More detailed information on the submission of electronic artwork can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
• Scanned images of line art will not be accepted - please supply in the original file format
• All figure titles and legends should not be embedded in the submitted image - please supply this information separately (such as figure legends in the main manuscript file)
• All tables are required to be in Word or Excel formats. No image files of tables please
• All extraneous use of color must be removed from figures and tables
• Figures and Tables must be cited in the text and numbered in the order they are cited
• All manuscripts, with the exception of Letters to the Editor, must contain a conclusion.
• References must be checked for bibliographic accuracy
• The manuscript should be spell-checked before submission. It must feature US English spelling (e.g. color not colour)
• Style of Writing. - Writing should conform to accepted English usage and syntax. Authors whose first language is not English should arrange for their manuscripts to be written in idiomatic English prior to submission. Refer to patients by number. No names or initials should be used. All measurements are to be in metric units.
• Authors are requested, when referring to types of headache, to use the terminology developed by the Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society. [3]
• References. - List references in the order in which they first appear in the text (not alphabetically). If a reference is cited more than once, subsequent citations should be to the original number. All references must be cited in the text or tables using superscript numerals. Personal communications and unpublished observations are not acceptable as references, but can be included in the text. References to journal articles should include: (1) author(s), (2) title, (3) journal name (as abbreviated in Index Medicus) in italics, (4) the year of publication, (5) volume number, and (6) inclusive pages. References to books include: (1) author(s), (2) chapter title, (3) editor(s), (4) title of book, (5) city and state of publications, (6) publisher, (7) year of publication, and (8) specific pages. Volume and edition numbers should be included if appropriate. The author is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of references and their correct citation in the text.

1. Niswander GD, Karacan I. Clinical experience with fl uphenazine. Dis Nerv Syst.
1959;20:403-405.
2. KoelleGB. Neurohumoral transmission and the autonomic nervous system. In: Gilman LS, Gilman
A, eds. The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. New York, NY: The MacMillan Publishing
Co; 1975:404-444.
• The manuscript text must be double-spaced
• Do not use footnotes.
File Formats:
• The manuscript must be uploaded as a .doc or .rtf file. A PDF file cannot be accepted
• Graphic file formats preferred are JPEG, TIFF or EPS. PowerPoint may be acceptable but the figure must not be lifted directly from a PowerPoint presentation - background colors and non-essential graphic design must be removed.
• To ensure the highest possible image quality we prefer you supply graphics in one of the above-referenced file formats rather than embed the image directly into a Word document. As a rule of thumb, if your image appears blurred on screen, print reproduction will likely be even more inferior.
Each manuscript submitted must be accompanied by a cover letter, signed by the first author, that contains the following statement: "The principal author takes full responsibility for the data presented in this study, analysis of the data, conclusions, and conduct of the research. The principal author had full access to those data and has maintained the right to publish any and all data independent of any third party."
Please note that Word 2007 is not yet compatible with journal production systems. Unfortunately, the journal cannot accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents until such time as a stable production version is released. Please use Word's 'Save As' option therefore to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
Copyright, Author Responsibility, and Financial Disclosure. Copyright on all published articles will be held by the publisher, the American Headache Society. All authors will be asked to sign an exclusive license form, authorship responsibility, and financial disclosure statements. The forms will be sent to the corresponding author by the office of the editor when the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Your manuscript will not be published until a completed copyright form has been returned to the Editorial Office. The Exclusive License Form can be found at: HED Exclusive License Form
STATISTICS AND METHODOLOGY IN HEADACHE
Headache employs the services of a Statistical Consultant. Consequently we hold all statistical techniques and research methodologies to the highest standards. To enhance the likelihood of your manuscript being accepted for publication, please consult the editorial "Statistical Reviewing for Headache" by Tim Houle and Donald Penzien for the standards expected by Headache. This can be found here.
