Instructions to Authors
Manuscript style
9.1 File types
Only electronic files conforming to the journal's guidelines will be accepted. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are Word DOC, and tiff or jpeg for figures (ideally figures will use journal colours). Please also refer to additional guideline on submitting artwork [and supplemental files] below.
9.2 Journal Style
Multiple Sclerosis Journal conforms to the SAGE house style. Click here to review guidelines on SAGE UK House Style
In addition to the details in the above style guide, please note the following:
Units, symbols and abbreviations
For detailed advice please refer to the guidelines in Baron, DN (1988). Units, symbols and abbreviations, 4th edn. (Obtainable from The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1M 8AE, UK). Note that the SI system of units is preferred. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the readership and to avoid confusion, the number of abbreviations in the text should be kept to a minimum. Standard abbreviations acceptable without definition are limited to the following:
CNS (central nervous system); CSF (cerebrospinal fluid); DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid); HLA (human leukocyte antigen; MRI (magnetic resonance imaging); CT (computerized tomography); MS (multiple sclerosis); RNA (ribonucleic acid). Nonstandard definitions must be defined in full at their first usage in the abstract and again at their first use in the text.
9.3 Reference Style
Multiple Sclerosis Journal adheres to the SAGE Vancouver reference style. Click here to review the guidelines on SAGE Vancouver to ensure your manuscript conforms to this reference style.
If you use EndNote to manage references, download the SAGE Vancouver output file by following this link and save to the appropriate folder (normally for Windows C:\Program Files\EndNote\Styles and for Mac OS X Harddrive:Applications:EndNote:Styles). Once you’ve done this, open EndNote and choose “Select Another Style...” from the dropdown menu in the menu bar; locate and choose this new style from the following screen.
9.4. Manuscript Preparation
Submitting a new manuscript through the online system:
When making a submission, the following separate, unpaginated documents should be uploaded. Please do not submit one combined document. The separate files will be combined into a pdf in the online system.
Title page (title, names of authors, affiliations, keywords, corresponding author)
Main document (includes structured abstract, main text, acknowledgements, references)
Tables (each as a separate Word document)
Figure legends (Word document)
Figures (as separate tiff, jpg or eps files)
Any supplementary files
Submitting a revised manuscript:
After review the editors may invite submission of a revised manuscript. When submitting a revision, delete the original files (as these are saved with your original submission), and upload your revised manuscript only, following the usual submission guidelines. Changes to the manuscript must be marked using highlighting or track changes, and the authors’ response to the reviewers’ comments should be placed in appropriate box during the submission process.
The text should be double-spaced throughout and with a minimum of 3cm for left and right hand margins and 5cm at head and foot. Text should be standard 10 or 12 point.
Title page
The title should be concise with no abbreviations. Please provide the surname, initials, department, institution, city and country of each author, and the name, email address, full mailing address, telephone number and fax number of the corresponding author to whom proofs should be sent. List six to eight keywords (chosen from Index Medicus, Medical Subject Headings if possible).
Abstract
The second page of the manuscript must contain only the abstract, which should be of no more then 200 words and must be clearly written and comprehensive to readers before they have to read the paper.
The abstract should be structured according to the following sub headings: Background, Objective, Methods, Results and Conclusion. Abbreviations should be
avoided and reference citations are not permitted.
Any manuscripts submitted without a structured abstract will be returned to the author immediately without peer review, thus delaying the evaluation process of the manuscript.
Introduction
The introduction should assume that the reader is knowledgeable in the field and be as
brief as possible.
Materials and Methods
Methods that have been published in detail elsewhere should not be described in detail. Avoid unnecessary detailed descriptions of widely used techniques. SI Units should be used throughout the text. Reports of experiments involving patients and healthy volunteers must describe the steps taken to obtain consent and to maintain confidentiality. Experiments involving animals must conform to accepted ethical standards.
Tables
Tables should be submitted in Word, typed on separate pages. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, and cited as such in the manuscript.
The preferred placing of tables in the main text should be indicated. Tables should include a brief descriptive title and be self-explanatory. Footnotes to tables indicated by lower-case superscript letters are acceptable, but they should not include extensive experimental details.
9.4.1 Your Title, Keywords and Abstracts: Helping readers find your article online
The title, keywords and abstract are key to ensuring that readers find your article online through online search engines such as Google. Please refer to the information and guidance on how best to title your article, write your abstract and select your keywords by visiting SAGE’s Journal Author Gateway Guidelines on How to Help Readers Find Your Article Online.
9.4.2 Corresponding Author Contact details
Provide full contact details for the corresponding author including email, mailing address and telephone numbers. Academic affiliations are required for all co-authors.
9.4.3 Guidelines for submitting artwork, figures and other graphics
For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures and graphs in electronic format, please visit SAGE’s Manuscript Submission Guidelines.
If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures, these figures will appear in colour online regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. If a charge applies you will be informed by your SAGE Production Editor. For specifically requested colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from SAGE after receipt of your accepted article.
Figure legends
Please ensure that your figure legends are included in your manuscript, saved separately to the figures. Figures will be published in black and white in the printed journal and in colour in the online version. Please ensure that your figure legends do not refer to colour in the figure (unless you are paying for your figures to appear in colour in the printed journal).
Figures
Please submit figures as jpeg, tiff or eps files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. All figures should be numbered using Arabic numerals and referred to in the text as Figure 1, etc. Please indicate the preferred placing of the figure in the main text. Figures are often reduced in size when appearing on the printed page. Allowance should be made for this when selecting text and symbol size. Symbols and keys should be given as a key on the figure, not in the legend. Magnification should be indicated by a scale bar on the photograph, not as a magnification factor in the legend.
9.4.4 Guidelines for submitting supplemental files
This journal is able to host approved supplemental materials online, alongside the full-text of articles. Supplemental files will be subjected to peer-review alongside the article. For more information please refer to SAGE’s Guidelines for Authors on Supplemental Files. For any enquiries which are not included in the above guidelines please contact the Multiple Sclerosis Journal editorial office at msjournal@ion.ucl.ac.uk.
9.4.5 English Language Editing
Non-English speaking authors who would like to refine their use of language in their manuscripts might consider using a professional editing service. Visit English Language Editing Services for further information.

10.3 SAGE Production
At SAGE we place an extremely strong emphasis on the highest production standards possible. We attach high importance to our quality service levels in copy-editing, typesetting, printing, and online publication ( http://online.sagepub.com/ ). We also seek to uphold excellent author relations throughout the publication process.
We value your feedback to ensure we continue to improve our author service levels. On publication all corresponding authors will receive a brief survey questionnaire on your experience of publishing in Multiple Sclerosis Journal with SAGE.
10.4 OnlineFirst Publication
A large number of SAGE journals benefit from OnlineFirst, a feature offered through SAGE’s electronic journal platform, SAGE Journals Online. It allows final revision articles (completed articles in queue for assignment to an upcoming issue) to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final print and online journal issue which significantly reduces the lead time between submission and publication.
