Advances in Health Sciences Education serves as an international forum for scholarly and state-of-the-art research and development into all aspects of health sciences education. It will not only publish empirical studies but also stimulate theoretical discussions and address practical implications. Reviews of important developments in the field will be particularly encouraged, since advances in a field can only result from a deep understanding of what has already been accomplished. The editors welcome contributions in which a line of reasoning is illustrated with multiple experiments or correlational studies. In addition, the editors encourage submission of new ideas for health sciences education, papers that are not necessarily empirical in nature, but describe interesting new educational tools, approaches or solutions.

 |
|
| Manuscript Presentation |
 | The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewers' remarks. Please double−space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left−hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
 Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:


|
running head (shortened title)
|


|
title
|


|
author(s)
|


|
affiliation(s)
|


|
full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and E−mail address
| 

 |
|
| Abstract |
 | Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
 |
|
| Section Headings |
 | First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.
 |
|
| Key Words |
 | Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
 |
|
| Appendices |
 | Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
 |
|
| Notes |
 | Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. The references should also be collected in a list at the end of the article. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
 |
|
| Cross-Referencing |
 | In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by 'et al.'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like 'a' and 'b' after the date to distinguish the works. Examples: Winograd (1986, p. 204) (Winograd, 1986a, b) (Winograd, 1986; Flores et al., 1988) (Bullen and Bennett, 1990)
 |
|
| Acknowledgements |
 | Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
 |
|
| Figures |
 | All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a 'Figure' and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labelled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.
 |
|
| Tables |
 | Each table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.
 |
|
