Description

Each issue offers information that is useful to hematologists, nurses, technicians and other scientific personnel involved in the provision of blood products. | |
Instructions to Authors
Transfusion Medicine Reviews provides an international forum for the publication of scholarly review articles in English, in the various subdisciplines that comprise transfusion medicine. The scope of the journal covers all basic science and practical aspects of transfusion medicine, ranging from the basic sciences of the various blood products to major clinical laboratory developments, blood banking, and immunohematology.
Manuscripts may be invited by the Editor on behalf of the Editorial Board, or may be submitted by interested authors. Prospective authors of review articles should submit, to the Editor, an outline of the proposed article and a tentative date for submission. Manuscripts are accepted for consideration on the condition that they are contributed solely to Transfusion Medicine Reviews. No substantial part of a paper may have been or may be published elsewhere. Manuscripts will be reviewed for scientific accuracy by the Editor, referees drawn from the Editorial Board, or other experts. Acceptance of papers for publication will be based on timeliness, authoritativeness, and clarity of presentation.
Letters to the Editor: Letters to the Editor are welcomed and will be published, if appropriate. They should be typewritten, double spaced, and should generally be no more than two typewritten pages in length.
Authors must accept the responsiblity of conforming to the instructions in "Information for Contributors." Articles, editorials, letters to the editor, and other text material in Transfusion Medicine Reviews represent the opinions of the authors and do not reflect the opinions of the Editor, the Publisher, or the institution with which the author is affiliated, unless the contrary is specified.
Authors submitting a manuscript do so with 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 now or hereafter known, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher.
To comply with US copyright law, authors of accepted manuscripts and letters will be requested to sign a copyright release form.

Papers reporting human experimentation will be reviewed in accordance with the precepts established by the Helsinki Declaration. Copies of this declaration may be obtained by writing to the American Medical Association, 535 North Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL 60610. Such papers must include a statement that the human investigations were performed after approval by a local Human Investigations Committee and in accord with an assurance filed with and approved by the Department of Health and Human Services when appropriate.
Preparing the manuscript
The original and two complete copies of the manuscript, as well as an electronic copy on computer disk, must be submitted. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double or triple spaced, on good quality 8? by 11-inch white paper with margins of at least 1 inch.
The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (1) title of the paper, (2) authors' names; (3) name of institution in which work was done; (4) short title; (5) abstract; (6) acknowledgments for research support; (7) name and address of the author to whom communications regarding the manuscript should be directed. A brief summarizing paragraph, or abstract, of 100 to 200 words, should follow on the second page.
Manuscripts must be submitted on a disk, preferably in Microsoft Word. A double-spaced hard copy version of the final manuscript, free of hand-written alterations, must accompany the disk. All components of the manuscript must appear within a single electronic file: references, figure legends, and tables must appear at the end of the manuscript. Please refrain from using end notes as references or automatic list numbering because these features are lost in conversion: simply 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.
Transfusion Medicine Reviews subscribes, in general, to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals published in Ann Intern Med 108:258-265, 1988.
Preparing illustrations and tables
Tables and illustrations must be cited in order in the text using arabic numerals. All line drawings should be submitted as clear, glossy, black and white photographs. Hand-drawn or hand-lettered illustrations are unacceptable. Photomicrographs and other photographic illustrations must be submitted in triplicate; photocopies are not acceptable. Legible copies of line drawings may be used only with the duplicate manuscripts. The name of the first author, figure number, and designation of the top of the illustration should be marked on the back of each illustration with a soft lead pencil. Legends for illustrations should be typewritten, double spaced, on a separate sheet, and included at the end of the manuscript. A legend must accompany each illustration. The cost of color plates must be borne by the author. Color prints are not acceptable for reproduction as black and white prints.
Figures, especially charts, graphs, and line drawings, are generally reduced in size for publication (consult a recent issue of the journal for examples). To maintain legibility it is important that all numbers, letters, and symbols be large enough originally so that when reduced they will remain at least 1?inch (2 mm) high (ie, approximately the same size as used for this line of type). Figures not properly prepared will have to be returned to the contributor for revision.
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and numbered with an arabic numeral in order of citation in text. Table legends should be typed on the same sheets as the tables.
Failure to comply with the specifications for preparing illustrations and tables may result in a delay in publication.
Figures may be submitted in electronic format. Images should be provided in EPS or TIF format on Zip disk, CD, floppy, Jaz, or 3.5 MO. Graphics software such as Photoshop and Illlustrator, not presentation software such as PowerPoint, CorelDraw, or Harvard Graphics, should be used to create the art. Color images must be CMYK, at least 300 DPI, with a digital color proof, not a color laser print or color photocopy (this proof will be used at press for color reproduction). Gray scale images should be at least 300 DPI and accompanied by a proof. Combinations of gray scale and line art should be at least 1200 DPI and accompanied by a proof. Line art (black and white or color) should be at least 1200 DPI and accompanied by a proof. Please include hardware and software information, in addition to the file names.
References
References should be numbered with arabic numerals and be compiled at the end of the article according to the order of citation in the text. Generally, no more than 50 references should be cited per article. They should be typewritten, double-spaced, under the heading REFERENCES. Abbreviations for titles of medical periodicals should confirm to those used in the latest edition of Index Medicus. References to abstracts and Letters to Editors must be identified as such. Inclusive page numbers of references are required.
Transfusion Medicine Reviews will accept articles with references in the form outlined in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, N Engl J Med 324:424-428, 1991.
