Aims and Scope of the Journal
Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine (Nanomedicine) is an international, peer-reviewed journal. Each quarterly issue of Nanomedicine presents basic, clinical, and engineering research in the field of nanomedicine. Article categories include basic, diagnostic, experimental, clinical, engineering, pharmacologic, and toxicologic nanomedicine. In addition, regular features will address the commercialization of nanomedicine advances, ethics in nanomedicine, funding opportunities, and other topics of interest to researchers and clinicians. We invite authors to submit original manuscripts and review articles. Please send all manuscripts and related correspondence to the following address:
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be submitted through the Nanomedicine online submission and review Web site ( http://ees.elsevier.com/nano ). Authors are requested to submit the text, tables, and artwork in electronic form (not as a PDF) to this address. All manuscripts submitted to the Journal must be original and must not have been previously published elsewhere or currently under consideration by another publication. In an accompanying letter, authors should state that the manuscript, or parts of it, have not been and will not be submitted elsewhere for publication.
Submission items include a cover letter, suggested reviewers, the manuscript (including title page, abstract, manuscript text, references, and table/figure legends), tables, and figures. Revised manuscripts should also be accompanied by a unique file (separate from the covering letter) with responses to reviewers' comments.
The preferred order of files is as follows: cover letter, suggested reviewers, response to reviews (revised manuscripts only), manuscript file(s), table(s), figure(s). Files should be labelled with appropriate and descriptive file names (e.g., SmithText.doc, Fig1.eps, Table3.doc). Upload text, tables and graphics as separate files. Do not import figures or tables into the text document and do not upload your text as a PDF. Complete instructions for electronic artwork submission can be found on the Author Gateway, accessible through the journal home page.
Peer Review
All manuscripts will be evaluated for completeness and adherence to submission guidelines and will then undergo a peer-review process. Provisional or final acceptance is based on originality, scientific accuracy, relevance, clarity, and topical balance of the Journal. Authors should suggest the names (with contact information) of three potential reviewers for the manuscript. Every attempt will be made to use at least one suggested reviewer. A request to submit a revised manuscript does not guarantee its acceptance, only that it will be reconsidered by the reviewers. Decisions will be communicated to the corresponding author by email.
Conflict of Interest
Authors are required to acknowledge all funding sources that supported their work as well as all institutional or corporate affiliations of the authors. Each submission must also include a publishable statement disclosing any commercial associations, current and within the past five years, that might pose a potential, perceived or real conflict of interest. These include grants, patent licensing arrangements, consultancies, stock or other equity ownership, advisory board memberships, or payments for conducting or publicizing the study.
This disclosure will be held in confidence during the peer review process and will not influence any editorial decision. If the paper is accepted for publication, such relationships may be disclosed in the Journal at the discretion of the Editor. When no competing interests are present, the publishable title page disclosure statement should say so. The editor asks each reviewer to disclose any competing interests or to recuse oneself if a competing interest might interfere with one's objectivity.
National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy
Certain repositories such as PubMed Central ("PMC") are authorized under special arrangement with Elsevier to process and post certain articles such as those funded by the National Institutes of Health under its Public Access policy (see elsevier.com for more detail on our policy). Articles accepted for publication in an Elsevier journal from authors who have indicated that the underlying research reported in their articles was supported by an NIH grant will be sent by Elsevier to PMC for public access posting 12 months after final publication. The version of the article provided by Elsevier will include peer-review comments incorporated by the author into the article. Because the NIH 'Public Access' policy is voluntary, authors may elect not to deposit such articles in PMC. If you wish to 'opt out' and not deposit to PMC, you may indicate this by sending an e-mail to mailto: NIHauthorrequest@elsevier.com.
Requirements for studies involving live human or animal subjects:
For studies that involved human or animal research, indicate approval by the institution's human or animal subject review committee in the Methods section of the manuscript. Include an additional statement of the humane care of the animals with animal studies and a statement of informed consent or exempt classification by the IRB with human studies.

Manuscript Preparation
Full-length article manuscripts should not exceed 6000 words in total length (including title page, abstract, text, references, tables, and figure legends), or contain more than 10 tables and figures. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced and assembled in this order: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, figure legends, tables and figures, on one side of the page only. Leave 1-inch margins on all sides. All manuscripts must conform to "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" ( http://www.icmje.org ).
PERMISSIONS: If any material has been published previously (figure, tables, etc), provide written permission from the copyright holder to use such material. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission and payment of any fees associated with reuse.
TITLE PAGE: The title page should contain these elements: full title, all authors' names, academic degrees, and affiliations; first author's surname and short title (not to exceed 50 characters, including spaces); name and complete address for correspondence (include street name and address as well as PO box) and address for reprints if different from correspondence; fax and telephone number and e-mail address; conflict of interest statement if applicable; all sources of support for research.
ABSTRACT: The abstract should not exceed 150 words and should summarize the content of the aricle. Insert 3 to 5 key words after the abstract.
TEXT: The text should include the headings Background, Methods, Results, and Discussion. All pages must be numbered. Abbreviations must be parenthetically notated at first mention in the text. Each table and figure must be mentioned in the text. Reports of studies on humans and animals must indicate that each study was approved by an institutional review committee and the procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines. Provide generic rather than trademarked names of drugs.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: The acknowledgments section recognizes substantive contributions of individuals. The Editorial Office must receive written, signed consent from each person recognized in the acknowledgments to be mentioned in the article because acknowledgment can imply endorsement of data and conclusions.
REFERENCES: Reference format should conform to that set forth in "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" ( http://www.icmje.org ) and journal abbreviations should conform to the style used in the Cumulated Index Medicus. Cite references, figures, and tables in numeric order according to the first mention in the text. Accuracy of reference data is the responsibility of the author. Verify all references against original sources. "In press" citations must have been accepted for publication and the name of the journal or book publisher must be included. The style of citation should be as follows:
Journals: authors' last names and initials; title of article; journal name; date; volume number, and inclusive pages (list all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list six and add et al): 1. Graeber GM, Gupta NC, Murray GF. Positron emission tomographic imaging with fluorodeoxyglucose is efficacious in evaluating malignant pulmonary disease. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1999;117:719-27. 2. Lytle BW, Blackstone EH, Loop FD, Houghtaling PL, Arnold JH, Akhrass R, et al. Two internal thoracic artery grafts are better than one. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1999;117:855-72.
Books: authors' last names and initials; chapter title, editor's name, book title, edition, city, publisher, date, and pages: 1. Mollnes TE. Analysis of in vivo complement activation: In: Herzenberg LA, Weir DM, Herzenberg LA, Blackwell C, editors. Weir's handbook of experimental immunology. Volume 78, 5th ed. Boston: Blackwell Science; 1997, p. 78.1-78.8.
Unpublished data and personal communications should be cited only in the text, not as a numbered reference. Authors wishing to cite unpublished material must have a letter of permission from the originator of the communication to do so. This letter should be submitted with the manuscript.
FIGURES: Figures must be of professional quality. When possible, please use or supply first-generation artwork. Figures are encouraged in electronic format with a printed proof on glossy or high-quality photographic printer paper. Figures may be black and white line art, graphs, halftones (photographs), or color. TIFF, EPS, or PDF formats are recommended for electronic artwork. Line art should have a minimum resolution of 1000 dpi, halftone art a minimum of 300 dpi, and combination art (line/tone) a minimum of 500 dpi.
Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version. Illustrations should be saved at the recommended resolution setting and sized as closed to a column width (3 to 4 inches) as possible. Create figures in scale with each other to the extent possible. Avoid background gridlines and other formatting that do not convey information (eg, superfluous use of 3-dimensional formatting, background shadings). Use uniform lettering and sizing of all original artwork. As a general rule the lettering on the artwork should have a finished, printed size of 7 points. Smaller lettering will yield barely legible text. Recommended font choices include Arial, Helvetica, or Symbol. Labeling of multipart figures (eg, A, B, C...) should be done consistently, preferably using uppercase type (Arial, Helvetica or Universe, 11 or 12 points) in the lower-right corner of the figure. Avoid headings on the figure when possible. Additional information on preparation of electronic artwork can be found in the Artwork Instructions available at http://authors.elsevier.com/ . For best results, please follow these guidelines carefully. Publication of color illustrations in the print Journal will be charged to the author.
TABLES: Table numbers should be Arabic, followed by a period and a brief title. Begin each table on a separate page. Use same size type as in text where possible. Supply a brief heading for each column. Do not use vertical lines between columns. Use horizontal lines above and below the column headings and at the bottom of the table only. Use extra space to delineate sections within the table. Abbreviations used in the table must be defined in a footnote to the table. Indicate footnotes in this order: *,? ? ? ? #, **, ††, ‡‡, §§, ¶¶, ##.
OFFPRINTS: Offprint order forms will be sent to authors before articles are published. Reprints in quantity must be purchased from the Publisher.
