Instructions to Authors
Instructions for Authors
Ethical/Legal Considerations
A submitted manuscript must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract or a preliminary report), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if accepted, must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the study to a significant extent. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the Journal, its editors, or the publisher.
All manuscripts must be submitted online through the journal¡¯s Web site at http://jcrp.edmgr.com/. See submission instructions, under ¡°manuscript submission.¡±
Permissions
Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source. Any permissions fees that might be required by the copyright owner are the responsibility of the authors requesting use of the borrowed material, not the responsibility of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
Manuscript Submission
Authors are invited to submit original investigations, scientific reviews, brief reports, and case reports in all areas relating to the prevention and management of cardiopulmonary disease. These areas include but are not limited to cardiac and/or pulmonary rehabilitation, primary and secondary prevention, epidemiology, and exercise testing and training.

Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
Manuscript Text ¨C Do NOT include any identifying author information in the text of the manuscript.
If possible, all tables and figures should be included at the end of the text. The word count for the text-only portion for original investigations should be limited to 3000 words. A shortened form of the title should be included at the top of each manuscript page after the title page. Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they have not been previously published and are not currently under consideration for publication in any other journal. Manuscripts will be acknowledged upon receipt; those accepted for publication are subject to copy editing. The name, address, home and work telephone numbers, fax number, and e-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence regarding the manuscript should be included in an accompanying cover letter.
Acknowledgments must be given when material from other publications is included. Copies of the authors' and publishers' permission letters should be included with the manuscript. Provide names of author(s), title of article, title of journal or book, volume number, page(s), month, and year.
The Editorial Board has adopted a policy that authors will not be identified to the individuals who peer review their manuscripts. Accordingly, manuscripts and copies should include a separate title page with the authors' names and affiliations, and these should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript. This should be followed by a page listing the title of the article only.
Figures: Digital art should be created/scanned and saved and submitted as a TIFF (tagged image file format), an EPS (encapsulated postscript) file, or a PPT (Power Point) file. Electronic photographs-- radiographs, CT scans, and so on-- and scanned images must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Line art must have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi. If fonts are used in the artwork, they must be converted to paths or outlines or they must be embedded in the files. Color images must be created/scanned and saved and submitted as CMYK files. If you do not have the capability to create CMYK files, please disregard this step. Indicate in your cover letter that you are unable to produce CMYK files. Cite figures consecutively in the text, and number them in the order in which they are discussed.
Detailed Figure Instructions: For a step by step guide for submitting Digital Art, please visit www.LWWonline.com. Click "For Authors", then click "Artwork" in the menu to the right. Visit the "Digital Art Checklist" and "5 Steps for Creating Digital Artwork" for specific guidelines.
Color Figures
The journal accepts for publication color figures that will enhance an article. Authors who submit color figures will receive an estimate of the cost for color reproduction. If they decide not to pay for color reproduction, they can request that the figures be converted to black and white at no charge.
Tables: Create tables using the table creating and editing feature of the word processing software (ie, Microsoft Word). Do not use Excel or comparable spreadsheet programs. Group all tables at the end of the manuscript, or supply them together in a separate file. Cite tables consecutively in the text, and number them in that order. Key each on a separate sheet, and include the table title, appropriate column heads, and explanatory legends (including definitions of any abbreviations used). Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript. They should be self-explanatory and should supplement, rather than duplicate, the material in the text.
BRIEF REPORTS AND CASE REPORTS
Brief reports and case reports will be considered for publication in JCRP. These reports should be in the areas of cardiac and/or pulmonary rehabilitation, primary and secondary prevention, epidemiology, and exercise testing and training. Reports should be limited to 2000 words for the text-only portion, 15 references, and no more than a total of two tables or figures. The title page and blinded page must be labeled "Case Report" or "Brief Report." An abstract should be included for Brief Reports. Brief reports should include subheadings of: Introduction, Methods, and Results and Discussion, but these will not be included in the published article. Case reports should be divided into three sections: Details of the Clinical Case, Discussion, and Summary. Provide a summary sentence at the end. Negative decisions will not be accompanied by a full review. Accepted manuscripts may require revisions.
SCIENTIFIC REVIEW
Scientific Reviews may be submitted on topics relating to the prevention and/or management of cardiopulmonary disease. Word count is generally 3000-4000 words and references should be limited to 75 or less. A condensed abstract should accompany review articles. Title page and blinded page of review article must be labeled "Review Article".
ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations should be limited to five commonly used terms or phrases per manuscript. Abbreviations should be spelled out at the first mention in the abstract and then again in the body of the text. The abbreviation should follow in parentheses. A term or phrase should be used more than five times to merit abbreviation.
TITLE PAGE
Information on the title page should include the full name, academic degree, hospital or university affiliation of each author and a word count for text only (excluding references). If an author¡¯s present affiliation is different from that under which the work was done, both should be given. The name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail of the corresponding author should be provided.
FORMAT AND ABSTRACT
Original investigations should follow this outline: 1) title page; 2) title page without author names or institution; 3) abstract and condensed abstract; 4) introduction and statement of purpose; 5) patients (or subjects) and methods; 6) results; 7) discussion; 8) references; 9) tables; and 10) figure legends.
Review articles should follow this outline: 1) title page; 2) title page without author names or institution; 3) condensed abstract; 4)introduction and statement of purpose; 54) review of relevant literature as appropriate to article; 65) discussion; 76) application to practice; 87) summary; and 98) references.
Original investigations should be accompanied by two abstracts: a structured abstract of 250 words or less and a condensed abstract of no more than 50 words for use in the Table of Contents. The structured abstract should consist of four paragraphs, labeled Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. They should briefly describe, respectively, the rationale for the study, how the study was conducted, the salient results, and what the authors conclude from the findings.
REFERENCES
References should be listed in the order in which they appear in the article and should be typed double-spaced. Authors are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of all references. Journal references should include authors¡¯ surnames followed by initials (without punctuation), title of article, name of journal as abbreviated in Index Medicus (if not included in Index Medicus, the journal name should be spelled out), year of publication, volume number, and inclusive page numbers. If there are six or fewer authors, all authors should be listed. If there are seven or more authors, the first three authors and et al is adequate. Personal communications and unpublished data should be included within the text of the manuscript or as footnotes, not as references. References should be formatted as shown in the American Medical Association Manual of Style 9th edition.

AFTER ACCEPTANCE
Page Proofs and Corrections
Corresponding authors will receive electronic page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. Portable document format (PDF) files of the typeset pages and support documents (e.g., reprint order form) will be sent to the corresponding author by E - mail. Complete instructions will be provided with the E - mail for downloading and printing the files and for faxing the corrected page proofs to the publisher. Those authors without an E - mail address will receive traditional page proofs. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs. Changes that have been made to conform to journal style will stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Only the most critical changes to the accuracy of the content will be made. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material will be disallowed. The publisher reserves the right to deny any changes that do not affect the accuracy of the content. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those required to correct errors or to answer queries. Proofs must be checked carefully and corrections faxed within 24 to 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the cover letter accompanying the page proofs.
Reprints
Authors will receive a reprint order form and a price list with the page proofs. Reprint requests should be faxed to the publisher with the corrected proofs, if possible. Reprints are normally shipped 6 to 8 weeks after publication of the issue in which the item appears. Contact the Reprint Department, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 351 W.
