Instructions to Authors
Aims and Scope
BONE provides a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary forum for monthly publication of original, experimental, and clinical studies, along with review articles on normal and pathological processes occurring in bone and other tissues affecting calcium metabolism. Additionally, well-documented case reports are invited.
Submissions of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be submitted on BONE's submission and review Web site, http://bone.manuscriptcentral.com/. If you have a preference, please indicate which editor or associate editor you would like to process your manuscript. Please also suggest five possible referees. For each, please provide name of institution, telephone number, and e-mail address. It is a condition of publication that manuscripts submitted to this journal be original, unpublished, and not simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere; further, that submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. Manuscripts are published in English only.
English editing. The following individuals or services are members of the (United States) Council of Science Editors or other professional organizations and have expressed interest in helping authors of manuscripts submitted to BONE with English editing. Authors may contact these individuals or services directly by mail, phone, fax, or e-mail. All financial arrangements are strictly between the two parties. BONE neither endorses nor recommends any specific individual or service. Professional editing, while often recommended by reviewers, does not ensure acceptance or publication of a manuscript.

Only one revision will be permitted. A subsequent revision will be treated as a new submission.
Conflict of interest policy. Authors are required to disclose commercial or similar relationships to products or companies mentioned in or related to the subject matter of the article being submitted. Sources of funding for the article should be acknowledged on the title page. Affiliations of authors should include corporate appointments relating to or in connection with products or companies mentioned in the article, or otherwise bearing on the subject matter thereof. Other pertinent financial relationships, such as consultancies, stock ownership, or other equity interests or patent-licensing arrangements, should be disclosed in the cover letter at the time of submission. Such relationships may be disclosed in the journal at the discretion of the editor-in-chief in footnotes appearing on the title page. Questions about this policy should be directed to the editor-in-chief.
Copyright. Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided.
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; telephone: (+44) 1865 843830; fax: (+44) 1865 853333; e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
Expedited review for Rapid Communications provides authors the opportunity to rapidly publish data they consider particularly novel or valuable to the scientific community. If accepted, the paper will be inserted into the next available issue still in press (usually after approximately 3 months), provided that it is a maximum of 4000 words printed pages and does not require extensive revisions. Authors should note that acceptance criteria for this category are significantly more stringent.
Editorials, Reviews, and Minireviews. Although these are most often by invitation, authors who wish to express their opinion or write reviews about scientific matters of interest to the community can submit such manuscripts to BONE. Editorials and minireviews should be 2000-3000 words printed pages and not require extensive revisions to be acceptable for publication.
Nomenclature
For chemical nomenclature, follow the Subject Index of Chemical Abstracts, capitalize trade names, and give manufacturers' or suppliers' names and addresses. Give the meaning of an abbreviation the first time it appears. Define a nonstandard abbreviation when it first appears in the text. For detailed text entry instructions, see http://authors.elsevier.com/, "Quick Guide."
For manuscripts dealing with bone histomorphometry, please use the nomenclature approved by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (Parfitt AM, Glorieux FH, Kanis JA, Malluche H, Meunier PJ, Ott SM, Recker RR. Bone histomorphometry nomenclature, symbols and units: report of the ASBMR Histomorphometry Nomenclature Committee. J Bone Min Res 1987;2:595-610).
For manuscripts dealing with osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast function, please use the Proposed Standard Nomenclature for New Tumor Necrosis Factor Members Involved in the Regulation of Bone Resorption (Report of the ASBMR President's Committee on Nomenclature. Bone 2000;27:761-4).
For manuscripts dealing with bone markers, please use the Recommendation for Bone Marker Nomenclature and Abbreviations (position paper, Committee of Scientific Advisors, International Osteoporosis Foundation. Bone 2001;28:575-6).
Preparation of manuscripts
Papers should be typed, double spaced with at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) margins. Number all pages consecutively. Type tables, footnotes, and figure legends double spaced on separate pages.
The title page should show the paper's title, authors, and the complete names of institutions where work was done. Please include the name, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence and proofs are to be sent.
Each manuscript should include an abstract of not more than 350 words, intelligible to the general reader without reference to the text. List 5 keywords on a separate sheet for use by indexing and abstract services. Manuscript text should follow standard arrangement: Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, and Discussion.
Acknowledgments should be on a separate page at the end of the text.
References should be cited in the text by a number in square brackets and listed at the end of the paper in numerical order. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. Include full article titles and abbreviate journal titles according to the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus. Format references as shown in the examples below.

Tables. Type each table on a separate page at the end of the manuscript, cite in order in the text, and number consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each table should have a title typed above it. Indicate table footnotes by superscript lowercase letters.
Figures must be self-explanatory, titled, cited in order in the text, and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. On separate pages, type figure titles with their (brief) legends. Figures should not be embedded in text. Several figures may be grouped into a plate on one page. Lettering on micrographs should be clearly legible. Letters 2 mm high are recommended. Limit the field of micrographs to structures specifically discussed in the report. Symbols and areas of special interest should not be close to the edges. Give figure magnification in the legends and on the figures (micrometer scale). Symbols (minimum 3 mm height) used on micrographs must be explained in the figure legends. For detailed artwork instructions, see http://authors.elsevier.com, "Artwork instructions."
Color plates. Twelve color illustrations will be published without charge each year. These will be attributed upon specific request made at the time of submission and with a maximum of one free plate per author or group of authors and per year.
Color cover photos. Authors are encouraged to include a color image of any subject in relation to their submitted manuscript for use as cover of the issue in which their manuscript will appear. If the image is also used as illustration within the original manuscript, the costs of the specific plate will be waived.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes may be made, and corrections should be returned promptly.
