Instructions to Authors Clinical and Experimental
Metabolism uses a web-based online manuscript submission and review system. All submissions must be made electronically at the Journal's online submission website http://ees.elsevier.com/metabolism/
Articles are accepted for publication on the condition that they are contributed solely to Metabolism. Contributors should bear in mind the nature of the Journal, ie, articles should have a definite metabolic application, with case reports submitted only if they include controlled observations of an exceptionally revealing nature. Papers should be as brief as possible and consistent with the subject. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher.
Preliminary reports
Contributors are encouraged to submit articles in a special short form known as a "Preliminary Report," with the understanding that if such an article is accepted it will be printed in the next available issue. It can serve as a preliminary report on work just completed, or may be a final report or an observation that does not require a lengthy write-up. To qualify for the priority given a Preliminary Report, the article must not exceed 1,000 words including the bibliography, but exclusive of any illustrative material. A simple table or small figure is allowed, but the author should cut the 1,000-word allowance by an amount sufficient to allow for the space taken up by the table or illustration. Despite the limitation on length, data to support the conclusions stated should be included to the extent necessary.
Manuscripts
Authors must submit manuscripts electronically, uploading documents to the submission website ( http://ees.elsevier.com/metabolism/ ). The system guides authors stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files and will convert documents to PDF files. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts in Microsoft Word.
References and figure legends must appear at the end of the manuscript on a separate page. Type the reference number in parentheses in the text and type the reference list. Formatting, such as Greek letters, italics, super- and subscripts, may be used: the coding scheme for such elements must be consistent throughout.
All authors must disclose all or any potential conflicts of financial interest in a scientific project related to the manuscript. Authors must include on the title page of the manuscript any financial arrangements (e.g., consultancies, stock ownership, equity interests, patent-licensing arrangements, research support, etc.) that he/she has with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript, or with a company making a competing product. Financial support for the research must be included with the disclosed information.
The title page of the manuscript should be uploaded as a separate file and include (1) the name of the institution where the work was done ("From the Fels Research Institute . . ."); (2) acknowledgments for research support the authors wish to publish; (3) Conflicts of Interest; (4) Institutional Approval (if applicable); and (5) email address of the corresponding author.
Institutional Approval
Manuscripts describing research on human subjects must include a statement that the research was approved by the appropriate committee of the institution. Consent of human subjects is required. For research on experimental animals, authors are expected to have followed the institutional guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals and indicate institutional approval. This statement must be included in the methods section of the manuscript and disclosed in the cover letter.
Previously published material
Authors are responsible for applying for permission for both print and electronic rights for all borrowed materials and are responsible for paying any fees related to the applications of these permissions.
Illustrations and tables
All tables and figures must be cited in order in the text using arabic numerals. Figure legends should be compiled in a separate list at the end of the paper.
TIFF and EPS are the preferred formats for artwork. Graphics software such as Photoshop and Illustrator, not presentation software such as PowerPoint, CorelDraw, or Harvard Graphics, should be used to create the art. All type fonts used in studio-created artwork must be either "embedded" in the file or supplied separately. All graphic files supplied as bitmap format (not vector format) in TIFF, JPEG or GIF must be submitted in sufficiently high resolution (240-300 dpi for grayscale or color images and 600-1000 dpi for line art) to allow for printing. See Elsevier's website for guidelines for preparing electronic artwork: http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
