The Journal's principal interests are clinical practice, practice management, health services research and policy, and education and training. JACR does not publish basic, translational, or clinical research, case studies, or clinical reviews as this material is well served by numerous other imaging journals. Please submit manuscripts on the journal's editorial site ( http://ees.elsevier.com/jacr/). For questions about the submission process, contact Makeba Scott Hunter JACR Managing Editor, 703-715-4381, mhunter@acr.org. For questions concerning particular submissions, authors are encouraged to discuss their ideas with the Editor-in Chief, Dr. Bruce Hillman and/or the appropriate Associate Editor as listed on the JACR masthead. General Information Manuscripts that do not conform to these Instructions for Authors will be returned to the author without review and put on hold until they are in compliance with all submission requirements. Manuscript decisions are at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. Manuscripts submitted as Original Articles will undergo peer review to provide expert input prior to the Editor-in-Chief's decision. All manuscripts will have the author and affiliation information blinded to ensure an unbiased review process. Submission Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published previously (except as an abstract or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the copyright holder, the American College of Radiology (ACR). Conflicts of Interest Along with the manuscript submission, the corresponding author (and all co-authors) must complete the ICMJE form for disclosure of potential conflicts of interest and submit these along with the other manuscript files. The ICMJE form may be accessed at http://www.icmje.org/coi_disclosure.pdf. The form can be downloaded, saved, filled out, and then submitted, along with the other manuscript files, to http://ees.elsevier.com/jacr. Visit this link ( http://www.icmje.org/ethical_4conflicts.html) for an explanation of what constitutes a conflict. The corresponding author is responsible for communicating this information to all co-authors and uploading the forms along with all other submission files. All conflicts of interest also must be detailed on the title page. Copyright Upon acceptance of a manuscript, authors will be asked to transfer copyright to the ACR. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming acceptance of the manuscript, and a form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided. If excerpts or images from other copyright works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the articles. Copies of letters granting such permission must be submitted with the manuscript. Authorship Authorship credit should be based only on significant contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data, drafting the article or revising it critically, and final approval of the version to be published. The sequence of the author byline should be agreed upon by all the coauthors. Any changes in authorship following submission of a manuscript must be explained in a letter to the Editor-in-Chief that is signed by all coauthors to indicate their consent to the change. This includes the deletion and addition of authors as well as any change in the order of authors. Self-Assessment-CME (SA-CME) The journal selects at least one original article each issue as a SA-CME offering for readers. The journal staff will contact the corresponding author of the selected article and request his/her assistance in generating questions and answers about the article content for online SA-CME participation. Proofs Page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author to be checked for typesetting/editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscripts will be allowed at this stage. Proofreading is solely your responsibility. Types of Submissions Original Articles Original articles representing either a review of a topic or new research should be approximately 12 to 20 double-spaced manuscript pages (12-point typeface) plus essential graphs and figures, broken up by subheads. Authors should take a critical approach to their sources of information rather than simply relate what their sources say. Some opinion is allowed as long as it clearly is identified as opinion. Original articles require a free-form or structured abstract of up to 250 words; a summary sentence either from the article or written in addition that summarizes the article; three to five key words for indexing purposes; and references to support contentions appearing in the text. Take-Home Points. The concluding section of all manuscripts submitted as original articles should comprise 3 to 6 bulleted statements under the subhead "Take-Home Points." These should be short, declarative statements indicating the most important conclusions from your manuscript. This information should be inserted at the end of the manuscript file (before acknowledgments or references). Opinions JACR encourages the submission of commentary regarding aspects of radiology or health care that is part of the journal's purview. Generally, these will be shorter writings, with a word count between 750 and 2200 (12-point type). Letters-to-the-Editor The Editor-in-Chief welcomes letters commenting on previously published articles of no more than 500 words. Accepted letters will be forwarded to the primary author of the article discussed in the letter to allow a reply. Letters and replies will be published together. The Editor-in-Chief encourages the authors of letters and those replying to adopt a civil style. Brief Communications Brief communications should have a maximum word count of 2000. Brief communications are of three types. When submitting a brief communication, indicate the type of manuscript in the article title. oThe Voice of Experience (VOE) should relate an institutional experience addressing a specific issue or problem. VOE manuscripts should have three sections: 1. Description of the problem; 2. What was done; 3. Any outcomes to support the success or failure of the effort. oA View from Abroad (VFA) manuscripts should detail topics reflective of medical or radiological practice in countries other than the United States. The objective is to encourage comparative assessment. oThe Resident and Fellows' Column (RFC) submissions should comment on particular aspects of training or how training relates to practice. Manuscript Assembly Manuscript Preparation JACR uses as a guide the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" ( http://www.icmje.org/index.html), as well as the American Medical Association Manual of Style. Manuscripts must be submitted in Word format. Manuscripts should be formatted for 8.5" x 11" (215 x 280 mm) pages with margins of at least 1" (25 mm) on all four sides, double-spaced throughout.
