PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
All manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted for Biomedical Journals." Prepare manuscripts in Microsoft Word, double spaced on 8 1/2" by 11" pages. Leave ample margins on the sides, top, and bottom of pages. The order of items in the manuscript is: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, reprint address, legends, and tables. Each page, including the title page, must be numbered in the upper right-hand corner. Number pages consecutively.
Title Page. The title page should include the contributors’ names with highest academic degrees, affiliations, the source of a work or study (if any), and a running head of about 45 characters. Please also indicate on the title page the name, complete mailing address, phone number, fax number, and email address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract. The second page should consist of a structured abstract of no more than 250 words, which should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. It should be double spaced and should summarize the purpose of the study, the main findings, and the principal conclusions. Please note that references should not be cited in the abstract. Papers should contain original data concerning the course (prognosis), cause (etiology), diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or economic analysis of a clinical disorder or an intervention to improve the quality of healthcare.
Text. In general, the text (which must be double spaced) should be organized under the headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. Use only standard abbreviations, which can be found in the AMA’s Manual for Authors & Editors or the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual. At first usage, spell out terms and give abbreviations in parentheses. Thereafter, use only abbreviations. It is not necessary to spell out standard units of measure, even at first usage. Use generic names for drugs if possible. If you wish to use a proprietary drug name the first time it appears, use the generic name followed by the proprietary name, manufacturer, and city in parentheses.
Acknowledgments. The author should acknowledge only those people and their institutions that have made significant contributions to the study.
References. References must be typed double spaced and numbered consecutively as they are cited in the text (using superscript numbers). References appearing for the first time in tables and figures must be numbered in sequence with those cited in the text where the table or figure is mentioned. Use journal abbreviations as provided by MEDLINE, (The National Library of Medicine.) List all authors when there are six or less. When there are more than six, list the first six, followed by et al. If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, they are not to be in the list of references. They should be referred to in the text in parentheses: (F.P. Jones, personal communication, and date of correspondence.) Include any accepted papers but not yet published in the reference list; name the journal, and add "In Press" in parentheses.
