Pohost 1 1 University of Southern California, Los Angeles Journal 2003 Soft Cover | Illustrated Volume: 5 | Print Issues: 4 Print ISSN: 1097-6647 Online ISSN: 1532-429X Reviews From the Guest Editorial "…this new Journal will play a major role in bringing magnetic resonance imaging into the practice of medicine. "The Editor, Gerald M. Pohost, the editorial board, and all those who will contribute to the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance will undoubtedly help physicians to 'see into the chest' and also to precisely diagnose its ailments." ?I>Claude Lenfant, M.D. "It has now become clear…that the cardiovascular applications of magnetic resonance are of great importance and should be given more consideration.…The major goal of this new Journal is to provide the major conduit for the delivery of knowledge in the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance to interested physicians, scientists, and technologists worldwide.…[and] to compare and contrast magnetic resonance with other imaging modalities. ?I>Gerald M. Pohost, Editor Return to Top Description Providing an international forum for communicating the latest findings and state-of-the-art reviews on the burgeoning field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and spectroscopy, the newly launched Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR) fills a critical gap in the science and practice of cardiology and related disciplines—facilitating the understanding and applications of CMR. Improve diagnostic capabilities, identify diseases more accurately, and assess the efficacy of therapeutic approaches! The first and only journal devoted exclusively to CMR, JCMR contains basic and clinical research articles, technical notes, review articles, and editorial commentary on the research, design, development, manufacture, and evaluation of magnetic resonance methods applied to the cardiovascular system. JCMR covers topics such as new applications of magnetic resonance to diagnose, risk stratify, and better characterize diseases affecting the cardiovascular system new methods to enhance acquisition and data analysis results of multicenter, or larger individual center, studies that provide insight into the utility of MR basic biological perceptions derived by MR methods Reporting new information and expertly reviewing all aspects of the field for the entire cardiac MR community, the JCMR serves as essential reading for: Clinicians, including adult and pediatric cardiologists, radiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, internists, primary care physicians, and family practitioners Technologists, including all professionals involved in the hands-on performance of MR tests Scientists, including vascular biologists, cardiac biochemists, NMR spectroscopists, imaging physicists, and biomedical engineers Product Manufacturers, including pharmaceutical firms, imaging system designers and manufacturers, NMR spectroscopy system manufacturers, and contrast agents companies Return to Top Readership cardiologists radiologists cardiovascular surgeons </P Instructions to Authors Instructions to Journal Authors Authors are required to submit manuscripts in accordance with the version of author guidelines posted on this web site at the time of submission. Failure to comply with the submission specifications may result in significant delays in the publication of your article. Questions about the implementation of these instructions in the preparation of journal and encyclopedia content should be directed to authorguide@dekker.com. ETHICAL ISSUES Marcel Dekker, Inc. is committed to the timely publication of peer-reviewed scientific, technical, and medical article content in journals and encyclopedias. Dekker requires all authors to comply fully with current ethical standards for publication in their disciplines. In accordance with Dekker guidelines: (1) Submission of a manuscript to a Dekker journal implies that the work reported in the manuscript has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication in any other medium. (2) The manuscript will not be submitted in its current or substantially the same form for publication in any other medium. Authors who do not comply with these guidelines may be liable to punitive action. COPYRIGHT Journal article contributors release the copyright of their article to Dekker on signature of the Copyright Release Form, available for PDF download through this link. Please note that these forms must be signed and on file at Dekker before a manuscript can be published. Dekker recognizes that Government employees may not be authorized to release the copyright of their article. PERMISSIONS Authors are responsible for obtaining written permissions to reuse or reproduce previously copyrighted material and paying fees, if any, required by the original copyright holder to use the material. Any material being reproduced exactly, or in a modified from, requires permission, including material you are using courtesy of a colleague or company. Even if you are reproducing your own previously published material, you need to apply for permission, unless you have retained the copyright. Permissions usually need to be obtained for each publication. Quoting copyrighted poetry or lyrics always requires permission, no matter how short the quotation. The Copyright Permission Request form is available for PDF download through this link. The PDF may be downloaded and copied as needed. To obtain permission, send the completed form to the copyright holder-generally the publisher. If the material has a credit line to a previous source, request permission from the original source, not from the publisher of the publication in which the material was found. Please retain all signed forms and correspondence for your files. Every figure and table needs a credit line, unless it is based entirely on original data and has not been published elsewhere. Material in the public domain should have a credit line acknowledging its source. The format of the credit line should be consistent with the reference format guidelines in this document. The credit line should incorporate any special wording provided by the copyright holder. Please direct questions about copyright permissions to permissions@dekker.com. ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION Manuscripts submitted for publication in Dekker journals will be posted to the World Wide Web edition of the journal on the dekker.com site, as soon as the web-rendered and PDF versions of the article are approved by the author and all concerns of the author and journal editor are resolved. The date of publication on the web is considered the official date of publication for intellectual property and patent purposes. This date will appear on the first page of the article in the printed edition. Dekker cannot make changes to a journal article once it is published on the web. All changes are handled as errata and will be published in both the web and print editions of Dekker journals. REVIEW PROCESSES All manuscripts published in Dekker journals are peer-reviewed and copyedited. As a result of the technical review process, a manuscript may be accepted without change, recommended for modification and further review, or rejected. Publication is contingent upon response by the author to reviewer comments and copyeditor queries. Please proofread content for accuracy. Dekker will not be responsible for correcting files after the author approves the page proofs. Please note that authors will be required to review a web-rendered version of their article prior to publication. Instructions for web review will be provided by e-mail to the primary/contact author of each article. Please direct questions about the technical review process to the Editor of the journal. Contact information for journal Editors are available in the front matter of printed editions and on the journal catalog pages on the Dekker web site at www.dekker.com. Questions regarding the status of a manuscript should be directed to Dekker journal staff. MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Formats Journal contributors should model articles after the published articles in the journal to which they are submitting and may contact the Editor for additional information. Word Processing The preferred format for submitted manuscript is Microsoft Word for the PC. Submitting your manuscript in this format ensures it will be handled in the most efficient manner. If you do not have access to this particular word processing program, or to a PC, please save your document as Rich Text Format (RTF). RTF is available through the "Save As" option on most major word processing packages. Please refer to the sections below titled Math and Chemical Structures for instructions on how to prepare manuscript containing these elements. Use one typeface and size, even for the title of your article and headings (12-point Times Roman is good). For italicized text, you may either underscore or use the italic font (be consistent in your choice). Do not use formatting (bold, italic and underline) to indicate article title and headings. Emphasis may appear in these elements where appropriate (e.g., scientific names, etc.). Do not include any commands for page breaks or headers or footers. Do not use an automatic numbering function to create numbered lists since the numbers may be lost when translated to typesetting software. File Names Assign descriptive names to your files, e.g., TEXT, REFERENCES, OUTLINE, TABLE1, FIGURE1, FIG1_CHEM1, etc. Please use separate files for the body of your article, references, outline and figures. Macintosh users, please append ".doc" to the end of Word filenames and ".xls" to the end of Excel filenames. Title of Your Article and Headings Use the same typeface and size as your text. Do not boldface, underscore or italicize your article title or headings. Place them flush left (not centered or indented). Insert a double return (or double "Enter") above and below all headings. Title Style: ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (chemical prefixes and elemental symbols may include lowercase letters) First-Level Headings Style: ALL CAPITAL LETTERS Second-Level: Initial Capital and Then Lowercase Letters for Each Main Word Third-Level: Capital letter for the first word only; all lowercase letters thereafter Article Outline Please submit both electronic and print copies of your article outline. The outline should include all section headings, as they appear in your article. Please make the relationships between section headings obvious. The outline will be used in the production process to mark, tag, and check the subordination (levels) of the section headings. No Automatic Hyphenation or Justification Let lines "wrap" from one to the next, inserting hard returns only at the ends of headings, paragraphs, entries in a numbered or bulleted list, and references. Use a hyphen only when it connects part of a word. Do not divide syllables at the end of a line. Vertical Spacing Your hard copy printout may be marked up, so please double-space throughout (including "References" and illustration legends) to make it easy to read the final, edited manuscript. Double-space by using the appropriate line spacing command, not by using two returns. To indicate a required line ending--such as at the end of a heading, paragraph, list entry, or references--use a double return (or double "Enter"); do not indent. Do not use any additional vertical space beyond this. Double returns separating elements will convert into the final space you will see in typeset pages. Horizontal Spacing Use only a single space after a period or other punctuation; do not use the old typewriter style of hitting the spacebar twice after a period. Do not indent; new paragraphs are to be indicated by a double return (or double "Enter"). Numbers Be careful not to type the letter "l" for the number one, or the letter "o" for the number zero. Dashes For a dash, use two hyphens--with no spacing before or after. Symbols If you use a symbol in one place, continue to do so throughout. Example: If you use the symbol ?for multiplication, do not use the letter x later. Math Manuscripts containing significant amounts of mathematical equations should be prepared in TeX/LaTeX. Please submit your TeX or LaTeX files either as plain TeX or standard LaTeX2e languages with little or no customization. The Dekker LaTeX macro and instructions for its use will soon be available upon request at mathguide@dekker.com. Simple math equations may be done in MathType4, if there are no suitable keyboard characters. Mathematical equations, regardless of language, should not be located in the middle of a paragraph; they should be keyed between paragraphs, not inside. Chemical Structures Structures should be produced with a chemical drawing program, preferably ChemDraw 4.5 or higher, and submitted in TIFF format to allow use of electronic files in production. Structures should also be submitted in native file formats, e.g., RDX. Authors using chemical drawing programs that do not support creation of TIFF files should contact Dekker for additional instructions at chemstructures@dekker.com. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING REFERENCES Dekker is standardizing our reference formats for all journal articles to facilitate reference linking. (For more information on reference linking initiatives, please consult the CrossRef web site at www.crossref.org.) Compliance with reference format instructions will significantly reduce manuscript production time. We understand that some information, e.g., an issue number, may not be available. Please include as much of the specified information as possible. Note that there are different formats for periodicals, books, etc.; please follow the appropriate model for each type of reference. Typefaces, commas, semicolons, and periods will serve as identifiers to a computer program for parsing and adding XML tags to the references. Please cite references in the text by number only enclosed in parentheses. At the end of the article, list the references in the order they appear in the text. Footnotes should be included in the list of references. Recommended Format for Periodicals Author, 1.; Author, 2.; ...Author, X. Title of Article.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING TABLES Tables should be numbered with Arabic numbers in order of their mention in the text. Provide a brief title for each table. Abbreviations should be defined in a footnote at the end of the table or as part of the Table caption. If any material in a table has been taken from a previously copyrighted publication, provide a credit line giving full credit to the original source. Please use Word (6.0 or newer) or Excel for the PC to format table(s). Tables prepared in Word are preferred. Please use a consistent typeface throughout the table body. Use Italic font when necessary (such as Latin terms) rather than using an underscore. Place tables in separate electronic files and specifically label each table as a separate file, (TBL1, TBL2, etc.). Do not use an automatic numbering or bulleted-list function for table entries, as these numbers may become "lost" in translation during the processing of the files. Avoid the use of shaded areas and vertical rules within the table body. Limit the number of columns to fewer than 10. The use of many columns will most likely create readability problems. Avoid "straddle" column heads, i.e., those that span multiple columns. The simpler the table, the more likely it will be rendered accurately. If graphics (such as structures and/or mathematics) will be included within the table, please include the graphics in separate electronic files, each piece with a separate file name, e.g., TBL1_CHEM1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPPLYING GRAPHICS Artwork may be created in various applications but must be submitted to conform to the standards and file formats outlined below in order to ensure that your art can be promptly processed and published at quality levels suitable for both the web and print. General Requirements Digital files are required for all graphics with the following exceptions: If the source of the original artwork is "analog" (i.e., film or paper-based photographs), please supply the original art along with 2 photocopies. If a graphic was created from a technological process that does not support TIFF or EPS (such as certain medical devices), then a hard copy original, along with 2 photocopies may be submitted. Illustration files must be accompanied by a paper proof at 100% of final size that matches the image so that we can verify that we have the correct version. Avoid using more than 4 levels of gray in charts and graphs as they can be difficult to differentiate in print. Shades of gray should be separated by 20% difference in gray level, for example: 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%. If you are using more than 4 levels of gray in an illustration, substitute black and white patterns (cross hatches, diagonal stripes, vertical, and horizontal stripes). Type on top of gray areas can be hard to read so avoid placing text on a shaded background. Color figures may be submitted, as color will be used in the web product. However, in the print version all art will be in black and white, (unless an exception has been explicitly made). Therefore, it is crucial to determine beforehand that the color art will render acceptably in black and white. The best way to determine this is to convert a color image to grayscale. If the grayscale image does not contain sufficiently different levels of gray, the image will not be intelligible and should not be submitted. Please note that journal authors will be asked to pay the costs associated with printing art in color. Type within illustrations must be sized to not less than 10 pt. Use Helvetica, as this font is more legible on the web in small point sizes. Do not use hairline rules ?rules cannot be thinner than 0.5 points. Illustrations need to be sized appropriately for the printed version of the publication: 6 x 9 and 7 x 10 publications: Width (from left to right) not to exceed 4-1/2" (27 picas or 11.5 centimeters) Height not to exceed 6" (36 picas or 15 centimeters) Allow room for legend copy to fit under the illustration 8-1/2 x 11 publications, single, double column: Single column width: not to exceed 3-3/16" (19 picas or 8 centimeters) Single column height: not to exceed 7" (42 picas or 18 centimeters) Allow room for legend copy to fit under the illustration Double column width: not to exceed 6-5/8" (40 picas or 17 centimeters) Double column height: not to exceed 7" (42 picas or 18 centimeters) File Formats Raster Art Grayscale or color images should be saved in TIFF format at a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (ppi), at 100% of final size. Color images should not be converted from RGB to CMYK; RGB is the preferred mode for supplying color raster images. Black and white raster art (line-art which has been scanned or rasterized) should be saved in bitmap mode (one color, not grayscale) at a resolution of 900 ppi at 100% of final size. A note on resolution and size: Providing images at a resolution lower than required or at a size less than 100% of final, will result in jagged lines and pixilated type. Images created at a higher resolution than required, or a size above 100%, will result in unnecessarily large files. Vector Art Art rendered in drawing programs (Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, etc.) or charting programs (DeltaGraph, etc.) should be saved as (or exported in) EPS format, at 100% of final size, with all fonts embedded. Type in the graphics should be set using only the Adobe Base 14 fonts; Helvetica or Times Roman are preferred. All graphics should be in black and white only; however, when color is required, the appropriate color mode for vector art is CMYK. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Dekker is currently implementing a digital manuscript submission system. Until this system is fully operational, digital AND hard copy versions of your manuscript are required. Digital Submission Digital submission of all manuscripts submitted for publication in Dekker journals is required. Dekker currently supports two options for digital submission: Digital storage media, including 3-1/2" diskettes, Zip disks, or CD-ROMs, or e-mail attachments. For detailed file naming instructions, please refer to the section entitled File Names. Journal manuscripts may be submitted by e-mail to journaledit@dekker.com. The manuscript document, along with all files containing references, figures, tables, outline and abstract should be attached to the e-mail. Manuscript that is embedded in the body of the e-mail cannot be accepted. E-mail submissions must include all of the files associated with the manuscript. Compressed (a.k.a. zipped) files will be accepted. To expedite the review of your manuscript, the e-mail should follow this format: The subject of the e-mail should include journal name. The body of the e-mail should include the journal name, the title of the article, and the names and current contact information (including e-mail addresses) for all contributing authors. E-mail that complies with the above format will receive an automated acknowledgement. Digital versions of manuscript may also be submitted on diskette. Label your disk(s) with your name, the operating system and software version used, the journal name, and the title of the article. Please include the names and current contact information (including e-mail addresses) for all contributing authors, abstract, and article outline as separate files. Please mail your diskette with the hard copy of your complete manuscript, as detailed below. Hard Copy Printouts Dekker relies on the hard copy of your manuscript throughout the production process. Please send one original plus two complete copies of your manuscript to: Journal Name Marcel Dekker, Inc. 270 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10016 The hard copy submission should match the digital version exactly. Please include hard copies of the contact information, abstract, and article outline files, as well as graphics, figures, and tables. Prior to mailing your journal submission, please check a recent issue of the journal to determine if the manuscript needs to be addressed to a specific Editor, Regional Editor, or Editorial Board member. If your journal requires this information, please include it in your mailing. Dekker can only acknowledge the receipt of manuscript submitted as e-mail. Hard copy and diskette versions will not be acknowledged. Revised November 7, 2000 Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief Gerald M.
