MANUSCRIPTS Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication; updated October 2008, available at: http://www.icmje.org/index.html (accessed June 2009). Papers are accepted on the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be, published elsewhere. This does not refer to abstracts of oral communications, which are presented in the proceedings of certain societies or symposia. Papers accepted for publication remain the copyright of the Journal. The Editor reserves the right to style and shorten material accepted for publication and to determine the priority and time of publication. Online submission All papers are to be submitted to Anaesthesia and Intensive Care using the online submissions website submissions.aaic.net.au. When an author enters a new submission the “Terms and Conditions for Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Submissions” will appear as the first step of the process. An author must read and accept these before he/she can progress any further in the submission process. The terms and conditions are written in line with the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth). Conflict of interest Authors must state any conflict of interest, i.e. personal, professional or business affiliation, relevant to the paper. Sources of funds, equipment or other support must be given. Registration of clinical trials This Journal strongly encourages authors to register their clinical trials with the Australian Trial Registry at the National Health and Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Centre at the University of Sydney. The Australian registry complies with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors and World Health Organization requirements. Available at http://www.ctc.usyd.edu.au/trials/registry/registry.htm accessed June 2005. International Committee of Medical Journal Editors http://www.icmje.org/index.html; updated October 2007. Legal considerations A statement of permission for reproduction from the copyright holder, author or publisher must be provided when any table or figure that has been published elsewhere is included. Ethical standards Studies on human subjects must comply with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975 and its subsequent revisions and those using animals must comply with National Health and Medical Research Council Guidelines or their equivalent. A statement affirming Ethics Committee (Institutional Review Board) approval should be included in the text. A copy of that approval should be available if requested. Preparation of manuscripts All papers must be written in English. Standards are the Oxford English Dictionary and British English is preferred for spelling scientific terminology. Original papers should be divided clearly into the following sections: Summary, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements (where appropriate) and References. The summary should not exceed 250 words. All summaries are entered in the National Library of Medicine’s Abstracting Service MEDLINE. Any excess of words over 250 will result in the Summary being curtailed at the end of the previous sentence. Review articles should not exceed 10,000 words. Critically appraised topics should be formatted to conform with the Journal's house style. Contact the Journal office for a template. Questionnaires of surveys will not be included in the printed copy but may be included in the website publication. Case reports should have a short summary not exceeding 100 words. They should also have an introduction followed by the case history and discussion, which should preferably not exceed 1500 words in length. Patients must be completely de-identified. Patients’ consent or the consent of next of kin should be obtained before publication and this should be noted in the text. Online submission All relevant fields should be filled out on each page of the process (submission details, author details and the upload files page), when submitting a paper online at submissions.aaic.net.au. (Note: References do not need to be entered until a paper is accepted for publication.) If any required field is left empty, an author will not be able to progress to the next step in the process. The corresponding author may receive an email requesting more information and will need to respond to this email before the paper proceeds to the Editor for assessment. The uploaded manuscript must be in Microsoft Word 2000 or later. Image files for figures or graphs must be uploaded separately. There is an “Inquiry / message” link on the left hand side of the screen that an author can click on to send an email to the Journal office. Formatting Formatting of title, sub-title, running heads, etc will be done by the Editor in the style of the Journal. No indents are required: the left-hand margin should remain static and the right-hand margin should not be justified but left ragged, with no hyphens at the end of the line. Bold type, multiple fonts and different point sizes must be avoided. Tables Tables and appendices should follow after the text. The preferred position of these in the main body of text should be marked with an entry “TAKE IN TABLE 1 HERE”, etc. Supply a brief title for each table. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading. Place explanatory matter in the table legend, not in the heading. Explain all nonstandard abbreviations that are used in the table legend. Standard deviation (SD) is the accepted measure of variation in text and tables. Standard error of the mean (SEM) is acceptable in figures for the sake of graphical clarity, provided that the numbers of observations is clearly stated. Omit internal horizontal and vertical rules. Cite each table in the text in consecutive order. Arabic numerals should be used to number the tables. Figures Figures should be computer-generated, photographed or professionally drawn. Freehand lettering is unacceptable. Colour reproduction of figures is available. This is expensive and authors will bear the cost. Consult the Journal office for details. Colour will be included free of charge in the website version. Letters, numbers and symbols should be clear and even throughout, and of sufficient size that when reduced for publication each item will still be legible. Titles and detailed explanations belong in the legends for illustrations, not on the illustrations themselves. Figures depicting two dimensions of data should be presented with simple vertical and horizontal axes. Three-dimensional representations of such figures will be returned to authors for redrawing. Framing, shading, icons and the use of fanciful typefaces are unacceptable. When symbols, arrows numbers or letters are used to identify parts of the illustration, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend. The preferred position of these in the main body of text should be marked with an entry “TAKE IN FIGURE 1 HERE”, etc. Arabic numerals should be used to number the figures. Online submission Figures must be uploaded as separate files to the main body of the manuscript in the order an author wishes them to appear in the text. Figure legends should follow after the text in the Word document. References Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables and legends by Arabic numerals in superscript and inside the punctuation. Authors are responsible for the correct citing of their references. A photocopy of the title page of each reference must be available when requested by the Editor for checking details. Examples of correct form of references Journals: Bain CR, Myles PS. Relationship between journal impact factor and levels of evidence in anaesthesia. Anaesth Intensive Care 2005; 33:116-120. Monograph: Gardner MJ, Altman DG. Statistics with Confidence. BMJ Publishing, London 1992; p. 61-62. Chapter in a book: Du Bose TD Jr, Cogan MD, Rector FC Jr. Acid Base Disorders. In: Brenner BM, ed. Brenner & Rector's The Kidney, 5th ed.

From http://www.anzca.edu.au/publications/profdocs/profstandards/ps18_2000.htm Accessed January 2004. References to “unpublished observations” and “personal communications” should not be listed as references but should be noted in the text in parenthesis e.g. (J. Jones, personal communication). References to papers which have been accepted for publication but not yet published should be included in the references, with the words “in press” included in place of the volume and page numbers. Other examples are listed on the ICMJE website. Online submission An author can enter all references onto the references page. Journal references are validated against PubMed. (Note: References do not need to be entered until a paper is accepted for publication.) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR All letters are welcomed, but not all letters will necessarily be published. The Editor reserves the right to style or shorten any letter and to delete any material which is, in his or her opinion, potentially defamatory. Any major revisions required will be referred back to authors for their concurrence. Letters critical of previously published material may be referred to the original authors for publishable reply. Letters deemed to be of insufficient importance to warrant publication will be withheld. A maximum of six references is allowable. ABBREVIATIONS Generally, abbreviations should not be used in the title or summary. Standard common abbreviations may be used in the text, but must appear in parenthesis after the first use of the expression written out in full. If the expression appears fewer than ten times in the text, it is preferable not to use an abbreviation. Too many abbreviations make the text difficult to read and understand. PROOFREADING Contributors of original papers are provided with first proofs to proofread for typesetting errors. The corresponding author will be sent an email alert when their first proofs are available on the submissions website for proofing. They will click on a link in the email, enter their logon details and download the proof found there. They will also be able to scan and upload the amended proof, email or fax the Journal office their amendments or accept the proof with no amendments. Authors are asked to return the proofs to the Journal office within five days of receiving the email alert. Important corrections are allowed but authors will be charged for extensive changes to text at this stage. Proofs are not provided for abstracts of scientific meetings or for letters to the Editor. REPRINTS Reprints are supplied to authors at cost price. They must be ordered before the author’s proof is returned. Payment is accepted by cheque (payable to SOS Print and Media) or credit card—details to be completed on the reprints order form and sent to the Journal office. Other orders for reprints will be filled at commercial rates.   Editorial Board   Chief Editor: Dr Neville Gibbs Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Suite 603, Eastpoint Tower 180 Ocean Street Edgecliff NSW 2027 Australia Telephone +61 (0)2 9327 4022 Facsimile +61 (0)2 9362 9139 Email: aic@fed.asa.org.au Comments or queries concerning this website may be sent via the online feedback form but please note that letters to the editor will not be accepted via this method.
