Statement of Originality: A statement signed by all authors, documenting their role, the originality of the material and certifying that the paper has not been, nor will be, submitted for publication elsewhere, must accompany all manuscripts.
Submission of Manuscripts: Three complete copies must be submitted for all manuscripts, including correspondence. These must be prepared in accordance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals as published in The New England Journal of Medicine 1991; 324: 424-8 and reprinted in Pathology 1997; 29: 441-7. Authors are also referred to recent copies of the journal and are encouraged to copy exactly the published format of papers therein.
Electronic Format: The manuscripts and figures must also be submitted in electronic format. Text should be supplied in a format compatible with Word 97. Charts and tables are considered textual and should also be supplied ina format compatible with Word 97. All figures (illustrations, graphs and diagrams) should be supplied on diskettes or zip disks saved in jpg format
Preparation of Manuscripts: All manuscripts must be typed in 12pt font and in double space, on white bond paper, A4 size with margins of at least 2.5 cm. Each section must begin on a separate page and pages must be numbered.
Title page: This should contain the title; running head not exceeding 40 characters, including spaces; first name, middle initial and surname of each author; name of department(s) and institution(s); initials and address of author responsible for correspondence(including phone and fax numbers and e-mail address); source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment etc.
Second page: This should carry (a) a structured summary of not more than 200 words, with the following headings: Aims, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and (b) a list of three to ten key words or short phrases. Terms from the Medical Subjects Headings list from Index Medicus should be used where possible.
Abbreviations: Those defined by conventional use (see Pathology 1997; 29: 448-9) can be used without definition. Other abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and if used must be defined the first time they are used.
Text: This should in general, but not necessarily be divided into sections with the headings: INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS and DISCUSSION. The text must be in the exact format of the journal.
Drug dosages: Where doses of drugs are given every care is taken to ensure that these are correct. The medical practitioner must however check the correct dose in a standard pharmacopoeia before treating patients.
Statistics: Statistical methods should be described with sufficient detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. When possible, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty. Put general descriptions of methods in the METHODS section. When data are summarised in the RESULTS section, specify the statistical methods used to analyse them. Define statistical terms, abbreviations and most symbols.
References for study design and statistical methods should be to standard works when possible rather than to papers in which the designs or methods were originally reported.
Ethics: When reporting on human subjects, authors must confirm and document that the procedures followed were approved by their institution's Human Ethics Committee and that they were in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, revised 1983. When reporting experiments on animals, authors must confirm and document that the procedures followed were approved by their institution's Animal Ethics Committee and that they conformed to the National Health and Medical Research Council's guide for the care and use of laboratory animals.
Bacterial nomenclature: This should be in accord with the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Ed. V.C.B. Skerman et al.) published by the American Society for Microbiology in Int J Syst Bacteriol 1980; 30: 225-420.
Acknowledgements: These should be brief and appear after the DISCUSSION and before the reference list.
Rapid Communication: The purpose of the Rapid Communication is timely disclosure of key elements of a study. Submissions should cover sufficient background to put the new information into context and justify urgent publication. Rapid Communications will be published on the premise that the author will submit the full article in due course. Rapid Communications are handled as expeditiously as possible with material being published within 5 months of receipt by the Editor. To facilitate rapid evaluation, it is essential that authors submit written MATERIALS and METHOD information (it can be in draft form) to assist in establishing if the work merits rapid publication.
Case Reports: Clinical case reports are mostly published as correspondence. Case reports of exceptionally unusual presentation or interest may be published as full articles.
Correspondence: Correspondence can be cited. It may be refereed by an Editorial Board member or published at the discretion of the Editor. The title must be short and there should be no summary, keywords or subheadings. A brief introduction (a few sentences) should be followed by a succinct report and discussion. There is a maximum of three figures and 12 references; formal lengthy literature review is not necessary.
Figures:Illustrations must be submitted unmounted and in triplicate as well as in electronic (jpg) format. Prints must be clearly identified by author, title of article and figure number on a self-adhesive label affixed to the top right-hand corner of the back. Please indicate the top of the illustration by pencilling an arrow lightly on the back. If the illustration is to carry any lettering, etc., this must be provided on a transparent overlay accurately keyed to the print. DO NOT mark it on the print itself.
Photomicrographs should be of the magnification desired by the author and be trimmed in such a way that either singly or in groups they fit within the text area of the journal and allow room for legends.
Legends must be typed, double-spaced, on a separate page headed with the author's name. With photomicrographs, the stain and magnification MUST be stated in the legend.
Graphs, diagrams, etc. may be submitted as originals or photographs. They should also be submitted in electronic format. If original, they must be laser printed on A4 bond paper. If photographs, for best results they should be on glossy paper.
Authors may be required to contribute to the cost of excessive illustrations or color.
References: Consecutive Arabic numbers must be used, in superscript form, to indicate references in the text, tables and legends. The full references should be listed sequentially, in the order in which they are first mentioned, and presented following the text of the manuscript. Unpublished observations may be quoted but should not be listed.
Format of references must conform to the January 1983 and subsequent issues of Pathology. Abbreviations of journals should follow those in the Index Medicus annual List of Journals Indexed. Examples of different types of references are given below. Note: the first three authors must be given before et al. is used.
