Instructions to Authors
Aims and scope
Emergency Medicine Australasia is the official journal of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine and the Australasian Society for Emergency Medicine, and publishes original research articles dealing with all aspects of clinical practice and research in emergency medicine.
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are peer reviewed by two reviewers and a Section Editor. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any material for publication and advises that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts and correspondence as material cannot be returned. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board.
Submission of manuscripts
All articles submitted to the Journal must comply with these instructions. Failure to do so will result in return of the manuscript and possible delay in publication.
Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor or the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
EMA follows the recommendations for publication adopted by the BMJ, who, along with many other journals, now require explicit, written consent from the patient to publish a Case Report concerning their presentation (even accepting that all personal details will be anonymised). Please see the BMJ website concerning this particular issue under 'Evidence based case reports' at: http://resources.bmj.com/bmj/authors/types-of-article/practice Also look at their example of an explicit consent form http://resources.bmj.com/bmj/authors/checklists-forms/patient-consent-form and follow this as appropriate.
Covering letter
Papers are accepted for publication in the journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. This must be stated in the covering letter.
Authors should also state which type of paper they are submitting; that is, original research, review article, brief report, case report etc. and why it would be of particular interest to Emergency Medicine Australasia readers.
Submission
The original manuscript should be submitted online at:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ema
Will authors please note that Word 2007 is not yet compatible with journal production systems. Unfortunately, the journal cannot accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents until such time as a stable production version is released. Please use Word's 'Save As' option therefore to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
You will be required to provide an email address as all correspondence regarding your submission will be forwarded by email. For any queries regarding submission, please contact Alison Hughes, Editorial Assistant, at alison.hughes@wiley.com, telephone (+61) 3 9274 3130.
Copyright
Authors publishing in the Journal will be asked to sign an Exclusive Licence Form. In signing the form it is assumed that authors have obtained permission to use any copyrighted or previously published material. All authors must read and agree to the conditions outlined in the form, and must sign the form or agree that the corresponding author can sign on their behalf. Articles cannot be published until a signed form has been received. Authors can download the form from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/ema-elf-05.pdf.
Preparation of the manuscript
All manuscript pages should be numbered consecutively in the top right-hand corner, beginning with the title page. Indent new paragraphs. Turn the hyphenation option off, including only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning.
Style
Manuscripts should follow the style of the Vancouver agreement detailed in the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' revised 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication', as presented at http://www.ICMJE.org/.
The Journal uses UK spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary.
All measurements must be given in SI units as outlined in the latest edition of Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Medical and Scientific Editors and Authors (Royal Society of Medicine Press, London).
Abbreviations should be used sparingly and only where they ease the reader's task by reducing repetition of long, technical terms. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation.
At the first mention of a chemical substance, give the generic name only. Trade names should not used. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names, rather than brand names, although brand names may be inserted in parentheses and should commence with a capital letter.
Parts of the manuscript
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and keywords, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgements, (v) references, (vi) figure legends, (vii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes) and (viii) figures.
Footnotes to the text are not allowed and any such material should be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter.
Title page
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email address, plus fax and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript, proofs and requests for offprints should be sent.
The title should be short (no more than 25 words), informative and contain the major key words. A short running title (less than 50 characters, including spaces) should also be provided.
In keeping with the latest guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, each author's contribution to the paper is to be quantified.
Authors should declare any competing interests such as financial support or relationships that may pose conflicts of interests.
Abstract and key words
Original research articles must have a structured abstract that states in 250 words or less the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study. Divide the abstract with the headings: Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusions. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Case reports should have an unstructured abstract of no more than 150 words.
Up to five key words should be supplied below the abstract and should be taken from those recommended by the US National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser list (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html).
Text
Where a structured abstract is required, authors should use the subheadings in the abstract (with the addition of Acknowledgements and References) to divide their manuscript into sections. For other manuscripts, the following headings should be used to divide the sections of the manuscript: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References.
Authors must state that the protocol for the research project has been approved by a suitably constituted Ethics Committee of the institution within which the work was undertaken and that it conforms to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki (as revised in Edinburgh 2000), available at http://www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm.
All investigations on human subjects must include a statement that the subject gave informed consent. Patient anonymity should be preserved. Photographs need to be cropped sufficiently to prevent human subjects being recognized.
Acknowledgements
The contribution of colleagues who are not named authors or institutions may be acknowledged but thanks to anonymous reviewers are not allowed.
The source of financial grants and other funding should be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors' industrial links and affiliations.
References
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
The Vancouver system of referencing should be used.
In the text, references should be cited using superscript Arabic numerals in the order in which they appear. If cited only in tables or figure legends, number them according to the first identification of the table or figure in the text.
In the reference list, the references should be numbered and listed in order of appearance in the text. Cite the names of all authors when there are six or less; when seven or more list the first three followed by et al. Names of journals should be abbreviated in the style used in Index Medicus.
Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should appear in the text only.
References should be listed in the following form.

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Each table should be presented on a separate page with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table. Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations should be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: � � §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. The table and its legend/footnotes should be understandable without reference to the text.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package; lettering should be included.
Photographs need to be cropped sufficiently to prevent the subject being recognized; otherwise, written permission to publish must be obtained. Magnifications should be indicated using a scale bar on the illustration. The whole cost of colour figures will be charged to authors.
Graphics should be supplied as high resolution (at least 300 d.p.i) files, saved as .tif format.
Figure legends
Legends should be self-explanatory and typed on a separate page. The legend should incorporate definitions of any symbols used and all abbreviations and units of measurement should be explained so that the figure and its legend are understandable without reference to the text. (Provide a letter stating copyright authorisation if figures have been reproduced from another source.)
Original research and Review articles
A suggested length for Original Research articles is up to 3000 words (text only) with no more than five tables, three figures and up to 30 references. A suggested length for Review articles is up to 4000 words (text only) with up to 75 references. Review articles must contain an explict Methodology section.
Perspectives
Perspectives articles should be no more than 2500 words.
Case reports and Letters to the Editor
Case reports should be no more than 1200 words in length, with a maximum of 10 references and two figures. Letters to the Editor should be no more than 600 words with a maximum of five references.
Emergency Medicine Australasia follows the recommendations for publication adopted by the BMJ, who, along with many other journals, now require explicit, written consent from the patient to publish a Case Report concerning their presentation (even accepting that all personal details will be anonymised). Please see the British Medical Journal website concerning this particular issue under 'Evidence based case reports' at: http://resources.bmj.com/bmj/authors/types-of-article/practice Also look at their example of an explicit consent form http://resources.bmj.com/bmj/authors/checklists-forms/patient-consent-form and follow this as appropriate.
Proofs and offprints
Proofs
Proofs will be sent via email as an Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) file and should be returned within 3 days of receipt. Alterations to the text and figures (other than the essential correction of errors) are unacceptable at proof stage and authors may be charged for excessive alterations.
Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read the PDF. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following website: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof.
Authors should therefore supply an email address to which proofs can be emailed. Proofs will be faxed if no email address is available. If absent, authors should arrange for a colleague to access their email, retrieve the PDF proof and check and return them to the publisher on their behalf.
Offprints
A minimum of 50 offprints will be provided upon request, at the author's expense
