General Information:
Microcirculation features original contributions that are the result of investigations contributing significant new information relating to the microcirculation addressed at the intact animal/human, organ, cellular, or molecular level. Suitable papers are those that describe applications of the methods of physiology, biophysics, bioengineering, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and clinical or translational approaches to problems in microcirculation. The journal also publishes state-of-the-art reviews that address frontier areas or new advances in technology in the fields of microcirculatory disease and function. Specific areas of interest include: angiogenesis and growth processes; permeability, transport and exchange; lymphatic biology; rheology and biorheology; endothelial cell biology; endothelial cell interactions with parenchymal cells, smooth muscle cells, leukocytes and platelets; regulation of vasomotor tone; oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange; imaging and morphology of microvascular structures. Papers describing new technical and instrumentational microcirculatory innovations also are considered.
Author Services. Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley-Blackwell's Author Services.
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated emails at key stages of production. The author will receive an email with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete email address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
OnlineOpen. OnlineOpen is a pay-to-publish service from Wiley-Blackwell that offers authors whose papers are accepted for publication the opportunity to pay up-front for their manuscript to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Wiley Interscience website. Each OnlineOpen article will be subject to a one-off fee of $3000 to be met by or on behalf of the Author in advance of publication. Upon online publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) will be available to all for viewing and download free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as OnlineOpen and will draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded for free via the Wiley Interscience service. If you wish your paper to be OnlineOpen you are required to complete the combined payment and copyright licence form: Online Open Form.
Copyright. Submissions should be accompanied by a completed Copyright Transfer Agreement. Authors of all manuscripts are required to license copyright in their paper to Blackwell Publishing. Copyright licensing is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been licensed. (Papers subject to government or Crown copyright are exempt from this requirement).
Note to NIH Grantees. Pursuant to NIH mandate, Wiley-Blackwell will post the accepted version of contributions authored by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. For further information, see www.wiley.com/go/nihmandate.
Permissions. For re-use of previously published illustrations and tables, permission must be obtained from the author and the publisher before an article containing such material is submitted. Permission letters should accompany the manuscript. The original source of the material should be mentioned in the illustration legend or table footnote. Articles and any other material published in Microcirculation represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editorial Board.
Pre-submission English-language editing If you are not a native English speaker, we strongly recommend that you have your manuscript professionally edited before submission. A list of manuscripts that will professionally edit your manuscript for a fee can be found here http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. Professional editing is not compulsory, but will mean that reviewers are better able to read and assess your manuscript. Use of one of these companies does not guarantee acceptance of preference for publication in this journal.

File Formats for Online Submission:
Please submit a Microsoft Word (.doc) file or a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file to the Journal's online web-based ScholarOne Manuscripts submission system at the following link: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/umic
. Separate files must be submitted for all discrete elements of the manuscript [e.g., a separate file for the complete text of the manuscript (including title page, abstract, all main text, bibliography, figure legends and table legends, etc.), separate files for each figure and for each table. Note that ScholarOne Manuscripts will automatically assign a running header and footer, as well as page numbers and line numbers to your manuscript. The best online viewing results for authors and reviewers will be obtained with original files that DO NOT contain page numbers, line numbers, or any information in the manuscript header or footer. Figures for manuscripts accepted for publication must be submitted as high quality digital files (see below for details).
High resolution halftones should be submitted at 300 dpi/ppi or higher as EPS, TIFF, or PSD format files (see below for more information). Figure files may also be submitted as PowerPoint files (.ppt). Line art is preferred in vector-based format with the text converted to outlines (paths) prior to saving as EPS files. If line art digital figures are provided as TIFF files, resolution must be 1200 dpi/ppi or higher. Lines or rules should not be defined as hairline width. Recommended minimum line width is 1/4 point (i.e., 0.0035 inches). When creating figures, the effect of scaling reduction should be considered for text and for rules or lines. Do not submit tables as TIFF or JPG files. Tables should be submitted as Word files. The ScholarOne Manuscripts system will concatenate the various files into a single document for review. If the paper is accepted, the separate files will be moved forward into the final print production process. Authors are responsible for verifying that all files have uploaded correctly.
Suggestion of Reviewers:
To expedite the review process, authors may recommend up to 5 reviewers. Please provide the name, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and area of expertise for each. Note that recommended reviewers will be used at the discretion of the editor.
Submission of Revised Manuscripts:
Acknowledgment of receipt of the manuscript by the editorial office will be sent to the corresponding author, including an assigned manuscript number that should be included in all subsequent correspondence. Revised manuscripts should be submitted via ScholarOne Manuscripts' Author Center to ensure that they are linked to the original submission. A detailed, point-by-point response to reviewer concerns should be included with the revised manuscript.
Organization of Manuscripts:
Microcirculation no longer requires a hard-copy of the article text. However, to ensure uniformity, please follow the checklist below. The manuscript must be double-spaced throughout (including references, tables, and figure legends) with 1 inch margins in an 8.5 X 11-inch document. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Scientific Style and Format, Bethesda, MD: Council of Science Editors. The body of the manuscript should be arranged as follows (all should begin on separate pages):
Title Page. The following information should be included: a concise title of not more than 150 characters; the names of all authors; the department, institution, and address where the research was performed; a short running title of 40 characters or less; grant numbers and source(s) of support; name and address of author to whom correspondence, page proofs, and reprint requests should be sent.
Abstract and Keywords. A structured abstract of no more than 200 words should be prepared on a separate
page. The abstract should be subdivided into four sections: Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Keywords should be listed on the same page as the abstract.
Text. The main text should be divided into: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Acknowledgments. The text should be clear and concise, conforming to accepted standards of American English style and usage. Avoid jargon, cliches, and laboratory slang. Use metric units throughout. Do not use abbreviations in the title or abstract, and limit their use in the text. The first time an abbreviation appears it should be preceded by the words for which it stands.
References. References should be double-spaced beginning on a page separate from the other material, and numbered sequentially in alphabetical order. In the text, references should be cited by number. The following format, with complete listing of all authors, should be used:

Many reports are being published primarily, if not exclusively, on the World Wide Web. Such articles should be cited in the "online" style as shown below.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
Format:
Author/editor (if known). [Access date]. (Revision or copyright date, if available). Title of page [Publication medium]. Page publisher. URL (Protocol:// Site/Path/File). 5. Dudoit S, Yang YH, Callow MJ, and Speed TJ. [3 Sept. 2000] Statistical methods for identifying differentially expressed genes in replicated cDNA microarray experiments [Online]. Dept. of Statistics, Univ. of California at Berkeley. http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/users/terry /zarray/Html/ matt.html. Note that the date may be general or specific, to the day.
In press:
To be used only for papers accepted for publication. Cite as for journal with (in press) in place of volume and page numbers. If the submitted manuscript makes reference to articles in press, copies of the article should be included. Citing Unpublished Observations and Personal Communications:
The reference list should only include published or accepted work. Citations of submitted papers still in preparation, in peer review, or of other unpublished materials cannot be included in the reference list. Citation of such material can be provided in parentheses in text as "unpublished observations" (e.g., "J. M. K. Smith, unpublished observations"). Microcirculation discourages the use of personal communications. However, if they are used, the author(s) must have in their file a letter granting permission from the communicant and stating that the person whose opinion is cited has seen and approved the actual wording of the citation. If requested, the author will send the letter to the Microcirculation Editorial office. For both unpublished observations and personal communications, provide the cited person's last name and all initials.
Tables. Each table should be double-spaced, on a separate page, and placed at the end of the text. Number the tables sequentially as Table 1, Table 2, etc, and ensure each table is cited in the text. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below.
Figure Legends. Each figure cited in the text must have a legend. Legends should be double spaced and placed after tables. Information in figure legends should not duplicate information contained in the body of the text.
Special Symbols:
For special characters not available on the standard 104-key keyboard (e.g., Greek characters, mathematical symbols, figure symbols), use the Symbol font or use the "Insert Symbol" function in Microsoft Word; do not use math font or image files (e.g., GIF) within the text for special characters or text constructions. Please also note that Microcirculation cannot process files prepared in LaTex.
Spelling and Compounding:
Authors should follow Webster's Third New International Dictionary or Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition, for spelling and compounding. Microcirculation uses American English rules for spelling.
Drugs, Chemicals and Trade Names:
Proprietary (trademarked) names should be capitalized, with the spelling checked carefully. The chemical or generic name should precede the trade name or abbreviation of a drug the first time it appears.
Animals and Human Subject Usage:
For animals used in experiments, state the species, strain, number used, and other pertinent descriptive characteristics. When describing surgical procedures on animals, identify the preanesthetic and anesthetic agents used and state the amount or concentration and the route and frequency of administration for each. The use of paralytic agents, such as curare or succinylcholine, is not an acceptable substitute for anesthetics. For other invasive procedures on animals, report the analgesic or tranquilizing drugs used. If none were used, provide justification for such exclusion. Generic names of drugs must be given. Manuscripts that describe studies on animals must indicate that the studies were approved by the institutional animal care and use committee and follow all local, state and federal guidelines for the humane care and use of animals. Manuscripts that describe studies on humans must indicate that the study was approved by an institutional review committee, and that the subjects gave informed consent. Please provide sex-specific and/or racial/ethnic-specific data, when appropriate, in describing outcomes of epidemiologic analyses or clinical trials; or specifically state that no sex-based or racial/ethnic-based differences were present. Reports of studies on both animals and humans must indicate that the procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines.
Cell Lines and Reagents:
The source of cells utilized (species, sex, strain, race, age of donor, whether primary or established) should be indicated clearly. The source of reagents should be stated (name, city, and state within parentheses) when first cited. If tests to rule out the presence of mycoplasmal contamination were not performed, this fact should be clearly stated. Other data relating to unique biological, biochemical, and/or immunological markers should also be included if available, with their source identified. Publication of results is based on the principle that results must be independently verifiable. Authors are expected to make unique reagents available to qualified investigators either directly or through a recognized distributor.
Unique Materials and Data Banks:
Work published in Microcirculation must necessarily be independently verifiable. Authors describing results derived from the use of antibodies, recombinant plasmids and cloned DNAs, mutant cell lines or viruses, and other similarly unique materials are expected to make such materials available to qualified investigators on request. Authors should also submit published nucleic acid/amino acid sequences to a widely accessible data bank. Sequence data for the United Protein Database (UniProt) should be submitted directly to UniProt using SPIN, a new web-based tool for submitting protein sequences (see http://www.pir.uniprot.org/).
Figures:
Microcirculation uses digital publishing methods throughout the journal production process. Your article will be published both in the print journal and online. We have several specific requirements for digital graphics formats to ensure the best possible reproduction in both media. Important: Computer screens, laser printers, and offset presses are significantly different devices. The ability to print your graphics well on a desktop laser printer does not mean the image can be printed successfully, or at all, on an offset press. These guidelines are intended to help you prepare image files that will provide high quality reproductions in Microcirculation, both in print and online. Authors may be asked to prepare new figures if those submitted are not suitable for publication; this will most likely delay publication of the paper. Each figure must have a legend (see above). Two complete sets of high quality, hard copy figures must be submitted to the Editorial Office prior to publication of any manuscript.
Preparing Original Graphics:
Always prepare original graphics at print publication-quality resolution. From these high-resolution versions you will be able to create low-resolution versions for online submission and use during the review process. When your manuscript is accepted for publication, Microcirculation will require the high-resolution files for print output.
Acceptable File Formats:
Use applications capable of creating high-resolution TIFF, EPS or PSD files. Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt) files are also acceptable. These file formats ensure the highest success rate for printing and are supported by both Apple and Windows platforms and applications.
Figure Style Guidelines:
Size. Figures should be generated at the size they are to appear in the journal (printed 1:1). Figures may be printed in two formats: single column (3.25 in.) or full page width (6.625 in.) If it is necessary to submit figures that require reduction, the indicated size characteristics must be achievable after resizing. Multi-paneled figures should be assembled in a layout that leaves the least amount of blank space and does not exceed 6.625 X 8.625 in. All digital files should be cropped to remove non-printing borders. Figures with multiple panels should be submitted as single, composite images. Images should be flattened prior to submission; that is, files should not contain layers and/or transparent or hidden objects.
Type. For serif fonts, use Times Roman or Times New Roman. For sans-serif, use Helvetica or Arial. Fonts should be used consistently throughout all figure(s). Freehand, typewritten, and dot-matrix lettering are not acceptable.
Recommended Font Sizes for Figures Formatted at Final Print Size:
• Primary (axis labels): 8-10 points
• Secondary (key information): 7-8 points
• Tertiary (numeric values): 5-7 points
• Panel Labels (i.e., A, B, C): 12-14 points
All lettering and key information should be within the framework of the illustration, unless the figure is so filled that symbols need to be explained in the legend.
Line Drawings. Line art uses only black and white to convey its information. Line art is preferred in vector-based format with the text converted to outlines (paths) prior to saving as EPS files. If line art digital figures are provided as TIFF or PSD files, resolution must be 1200 dpi/ppi or higher. Lines or rules should not be defined as hairline width. Recommended minimum line width is 1/4 point (i.e., 0.0035 inches). If figures require reduction to fit into a particular column width, all lettering, line weights, and symbols must be of a size and weight that will meet the guidelines for final size.
Halftone Figures. Many graphics include shades of gray. These grays may be simple fills (screened dot patterns to simulate grays) or they may be subtle and complex tones in digitized photographs or intricate drawings. Halftones should be submitted at 300 dpi/ppi or higher as EPS, TIFF, or PSD format files. Halftone graphics that contain text and symbols should be saved or exported as EPS, TIFF or PSD files at 600 dpi in resolution. When necessary, include an internal scale marker to account for any needed reduction. Special features on digital photomicrographs should be designated by letters, numerals, arrows, and other symbols that contrast with the background of the image. Photographs of equipment should be used sparingly; good line drawings are usually more informative. Photographs of animals or humans are acceptable if they are the only way to show results and only with the approval of the Editor. For a photograph of a human, you will need to provide a signed permission from the photographed subject, agreeing to the publication of his or her image.
Color Figures. Color figures are accepted at no cost for members of the Microcirculatory Society, Inc. whose dues are paid. Otherwise, authors will be required to bear the full cost involved in their printing and publication. The charge for the first page with color is £150. Subsequent pages containing colour are £50 each. A custom quote will be provided for color art totaling more than 4 journal pages. The corresponding author must sign a written agreement to cover the estimated additional costs before production of the color art will be undertaken. Color digital images should be submitted as TIFF, EPS or PSD files at 300 dpi or higher resolution.
Tips for Reducing the Size of Image files: There is a limit to the size of individual files and the total size of all files uploaded. Therefore, the following steps should be taken to reduce the size of image files. These steps can be performed in Adobe Photoshop or equivalent software.
1. Flatten the images to eliminate layers and hidden objects.
2. For black and white figures, save as gray scale, not RGB.
3. Size images exactly to fit in the journal space: 3.25 inches wide for single column, 6.625 inches wide for
double column. Eliminate excess white space in borders.
4. Save the file using LZW compression.
· Illustrations
Digital versions of your figures should be provided. It is best if you can supply figures in TIFF format; however, it is also possible to use Illustrator or Photoshop software saved in the format '.eps' or '.tif'. If you are unable to provide these specified formats, please provide the figures in as many different file formats as possible. The figure resolution/specification for various types of original figures, at their final size, should be as follows:
Line art - Minimum 600 dpi
Halftone (i.e. both B/W and Colour photographs) - Minimum 300 dpi
Line and tone (line art and halftone combined) - Minimum 600 dpi
As a guide, if the electronic files are viewed at 400% on the computer screen and they look pixellated in any way then they will NOT be of sufficient quality for printing. For further information on file formats, please see the instructions on our website at site http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp
In addition to any electronic files, always send high-quality printed versions of the figures to the editorial office especially when submitting revised manuscripts online. If a figure is an actual photograph then it should be provided as a sharp image on photographic paper. For line figures, paper printouts are acceptable provided that the quality is good: the lines should be solid, the text in a standard font and not blurred, and the overall image should be sharp and clear. Figures should be labelled with the figure number, manuscript ID and author's name in soft pencil on the back and the top edge identified. Photographs should be glossy bromide prints of good contrast, suitable for reproduction. Masking instructions or lettering, arrows, etc., can, if necessary, be indicated on an overlay. Avoid using tints if possible; if they are essential to the understanding of the figure, try to make them coarse.
Figures should be numbered (Arabic numerals) seriatim and legends must be typed on a separate sheet. Please note that authors will be expected to bear the cost of colour prints. Please submit the completed Colour Work Agreement Form with your manuscript. Any article received with colour work will not be accepted until a completed form has been returned.
In the event that an author is not able to cover the costs of reproducing colour figures in colour in the printed version of the journal, Microcirculation offers authors the opportunity to reproduce colour figures in colour for free in the online version of the article (but they will still appear in black and white in the print version). If an author wishes to take advantage of this free colour-on-the-web service, they should liaise with the Editorial Office to ensure that the appropriate documentation is completed for the Publisher.
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate sheets and should be given Arabic numerals . Units should appear in parentheses in the column headings but not in the body of the table. Words or numerals should be repeated on successive lines: ditto should not be used.
Please ensure that the disk version is identical to the hard copy. All revisions and corrections to the paper (including those to the references) should be made on the disk, so that the final version of the hard copy and the disk are identical. Do not use the carriage return (enter) at the end of lines within a paragraph. Turn the hyphenation option off. Disks will not be returned to authors. Save figures on disk in as many different formats as are available to you (see the instructions in 'Illustrations' above). Always enclose a hard copy of figures. The size and density of the disk, the nature of the software system and of the operating system (MS-DOS, CPM, etc.) must be indicated. The preferred system for this Journal is IBM compatible, using Word, but any system and disk can be handled. The filenames used must also be supplied with the disk, which itself should be labelled with the name of the first author and the first three words of the Title. Any special characters used (e.g. to indicate Greek letters, etc.) must be indicated separately.
Proofs
Page proofs will be sent electronically to the corresponding author and should be returned within 3 days of receipt to the Production Editor. Significant textual alterations are unacceptable at proof stage without the written approval of the Editor, and they are likely to result in the delay of publication.
The corresponding author will receive an e-mail alert containing a link to a secure web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. In the absence of the corresponding author, please arrange for a colleague to access the e-mail to retrieve the proofs.
Please note that you have final responsibility for what is stated in the proofs of your manuscript.
Early View
Microcirculation is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found online at http://www.doi.org/faq.html
Author Services
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Offprints
Free access to the final PDF offprint of your article will be available via Author Services only. Please therefore sign up for Author Services if you would like to access your PDF offprint and enjoy the many other benefits the service offers.
Author material archive policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, the Publisher will dispose of all submitted hardcopy or electronic material 2 months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the Editorial Office or Production Editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.
