Instructions to Authors
QJM welcomes contributions relevant to the science and practice of medicine: original papers, describing either clinical research or basic scientific work; review articles on advances in clinical medicine or medical science; commentaries expressing personal or controversial views on any medical topic; and correspondence on matters arising from articles published in the journal. We aim to offer rapid review and publication of accepted articles and to aid this process, contributors are asked to follow these guidelines.
Manuscript and disk submittal. All manuscripts should be submitted on disk or by e-mail. If possible, send the manuscript as an e-mail attachment (MSWord or RTF format) initially. We will inform you if a disk version or hard copy is also required. Original papers should include a structured abstract of fewer than 250 words under the headings: background, aim, design, methods, results and conclusions. We suggest that authors consult a recent issue of the journal (http://qjmed.oupjournals.org) to ensure that their manuscript corresponds to the usual QJM style. Please note that we seldom publish individual case reports as original papers.
Ethics. QJM will only consider for publication research that has been scrutinized by a research ethics committee or an institutional review board. The covering letter that accompanies the submitted manuscript should indicate that the ethics of the study have been reviewed by an appropriate body.
Authorship. Submission of an article to the QJM will be taken to imply that all authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and that the contributions of all people involved in the research have been properly acknowledged. The covering letter should clearly identify who will deal with correspondence concerning the article.
References should be numbered consecutively by superscript arabic numerals in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Where references are cited in a table or figure legend, numbering should correspond to the first mention of that table or figure in the text. QJM adopts the Vancouver system for references. These should include, (i) the list of all authors, (ii) the title of the article, (iii) the title of the journal (as abbreviated in Index Medicus), (iv) the year of publication, (v) volume number, (vi) first and last pages. Book references should give the author, title, edition, volume and page number (where appropriate), with town of publication, name of publisher and year of publication.
e.g. Wilson CB. The renal response to immunologic injury. In: Brenner BM, Rector FC, eds. The Kidney, 4th edn. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 1991:1062¨C181.
e.g. Evans DGR, Harris R. Heterogeneity and genetic conditions. Q J Med 1992; 84:563¨C5.
Illustrations. Three sets of original figures should be submitted. Please provide these as clear sharp prints, suitable for reproduction as submitted. All labelling should be on the original drawing. Line figures should be in black ink. Faint shading or stippling will be lost upon reproduction and should be avoided. Ensure that the size of the lettering is in proportion with the overall dimensions of the drawing. Photographs should be of high quality to withstand the inevitable loss of contrast and detail inherent in the printing process. Photographs and other illustrations should be unmounted and with an unmarked front surface. Authors¡¯ names, the number of the figure and orientation should be indicated in soft pencil on the reverse. If colour plates or a large number of halftones are required, authors may be charged with part of their cost. Legends, clearly identified for the appropriate figures, should be typed on a separate sheet.
Proofs. Authors will receive PDF files of their page proofs by e-mail (or fax if no e-mail address is available). Excessive corrections at this stage are discouraged and may be charged to the author.
Copyright. It is a condition of publication in the journal that authors grant an exclusive licence to publish to the Association of Physicians. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently, and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. As part of the licence agreement, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.

Manuscripts and manuscript enquiries should be directed to the Editorial Manager: David Hallett, PO Box 1130, Oxford OX2 9UR, UK; tel +44 (0)1865 248539, fax +44 (0)1865 248540, e-mail: qjm@btinternet.com.
