Instructions to Authors
Submission of manuscripts
All submissions should be made online through the Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy’s Manuscript Central site - http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/socc. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. For additional assistance, contact the Editorial Management Center via e-mail at: gerd.halvorsen@informa.com.
All submitted manuscripts should be arranged according to the rules stated in "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals" Ann Intern Med 1997; 126: 36-47, or JAMA 1997; 277: 927-34. The full document is available at www.icmje.org
When submitting a paper, the author should always make a full statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work.
Peer-Review
All manuscripts will be sent to at least two independent reviewers for critical review. A manuscript may be declined/rejected before a peer-review process, if deemed out of scope or if it does not meet general standards of the journal. This may include reasons such as lack of scientific originality and poor design or execution. The review process is single-blinded, which means that the reviewers know the identity of the authors, but the authors will not know the identity of the reviewers. Letters to the Editor are not peer-reviewed but subject to the Editors´ approval. Manuscript handling times will be kept as short as possible.
Types of manuscripts
- In-depth Review articles will regularly be published. Unless invited, authors are requested to discuss the topic of the proposed review with the Editor-in-Chief before submission.
- Original articles will appear either as full-length reports of original research or as Short communications reporting preliminary data from original work.
- Case reports, reporting new and important clinical observations or experiences of a novel treatment, will be considered for publication.
- Letters to the editor are encouraged and may either provide criticism of papers previously published in Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy or comment on important aspects of occupational therapy.
Manuscript style
The text should be double-spaced with generous margins. Times New Roman in 12 pt size is the preferred font style. Smaller spacing and font may be used for references, tables and figure legends.
Please be consistent. The same elements should be keyed in exactly the same way throughout the manuscript. Do not break words at the end of lines. Use a hyphen only to hyphenate compound words. Enter only one space after the full-stop at the end of a sentence. When emphasising words, please use the italic feature of your word processor software.
Do not justify your text; use a ragged right-hand margin. Use a double hyphen (--) to indicate a dash in text. Do not use the lowercase l for 1 (one) or the uppercase O for 0 (zero). The space bar should only be used as a word separator. Use TAB when indenting paragraphs or separating columns in tables.
In general, a regular manuscript should not exeed 15 A4 pages formatted according to the above instructions, including references but not tables and figures. Longer manuscripts may be accepted, if there are any special reasons for this.
Language
Manuscripts should be written in clear and concise scientific English. The concise Oxford English Dictionary should be used as a reference for spelling and hyphenation. Abbreviations and symbols must be standards and SI units should be used throughout.
It is the responsibility of authors to ensure the quality of the language for submitted articles. Colloquial English may not be sufficient and is not necessarily the same as scientific English, for which professional services may be needed (see for example www.internationalscienceediting.com and www.writescienceright.com). A brief language overview will be made for articles accepted for publication, but no major changes are accepted at this stage.
Manuscript Design
Original manuscripts should include 1) Title page, 2) Abstract, 3) Keywords 4) Introduction, 5) Materials and Methods, 6) Results, 7) Discussion, 8) Acknowledgements, 9) References, 10) Legends of Tables & Figures 11) Tables, and 12) Figures.
- Title page – should give the title of the paper in no more than 80 characters, and should also include a running headline not exceeding 40 letter spaces. List full names of all authors and indicate the institutional affiliation of each author. Give the name, address, e-mail address of the corresponding author, telephone and fax numbers are optional. Please submit the title page as a separate file to facilitate double-blind peer-review.
- Abstract page – should include a short summary of the research (aims, major findings and principal conclusion) in no more than 200 words. Please include the abstract in the designated field in the online submission service but also in the main manuscript file for review.
- Keywords – the main manuscript file should also include 3-10 key words (do not use words already in the title).
- The introduction – should give a brief background of the aims of the investigation.
- The material and methods section should give sufficient detail to enable other investigators to repeat the work. Describe new methods in detail.
- The results section – should be concise and focus on findings relevant to the aim of the study. Avoid presenting data in more than one form.
- The discussion section – should give critical assessment of the results of the study in view of previously reported research.
- Acknowledgements – State funding and sources of support in the form of grants, equipment or drugs should be given on a separate Acknowledgements page.
- References – The “Vancouver” style is used , see further details below
- Legends of tables & figures – should be included in the main manuscript file, after the references.
- Tables – should be numbered with arabic numbers in the order of appearance in the text. Can be included in the main document if created with the table tool in the word processing software. The number of tables and figures should be kept to a minimum. There should preferably not be repetition/overlap of information given in tables/figures/text.
- Figures – should be submitted as separate files in the best possible quality. Figures should be named with arabic numbers in order of appearance in the text. Read more about accepted formats and quality requirements below.
A Cover Letter should be provided, where authors vouch for the accuracy of the manuscript according to the guidelines given here. This is also the place where authors may inform the Editors of any special circumstances or details regarding the submitted material, including prior publication of the material/parts of the material in a minority language. Funding sources should be credited in the acknowledgement section.
References
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they first appear in the text and marked with arabic numers within parentheses. Citations such as "unpublished observations" or "personal communications" should not appear in the reference list but be referred to in the text.
Reference style should follow the Vancouver Format, where all authors should be quoted for papers with up to 6 authors; for papers with 7 authors or more, please list the first 6 followed by ‘et al.’ For abbreviations of journal titles; please consult the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus, published annually as a list in the January issue of Index Medicus, also accessible at www.nlm.nih.gov.

Figures & Tables
Graphic elements and illustrations are accepted if providing unique data that can not be described in the text, and should be clearly marked with Arabic numbers as they appear in the text. To ensure correct placement in the journal layout, note the figure reference (abbreviated) within brackets when referring to the figure in text, e.g. (Fig. 1).
Figure files should be kept as separate files, in TIF, EPS, PDF or JPG format. Providing these formats will guarantee that the quality of the graphics is good throughout the publishing process, if provided with sufficient resolution. Photographic illustrations should be rendered with at least 300 DPI; please use CMYK color conversion if possible. Graphs made with Office software such as Microsoft Excel, can be provided in their original format to facilitate conversion into printable format with preserved quality. Any other line graphs/illustrations should preferably be provided in EPS format with a resolution of at least 600 DPI to prevent ragged lines when printed.
Tables should be made with the ‘Draw Table’ function in word and included in the main manuscript file, after the references. Tables should be numbered with arabic numbers in the order of appearance in the text. Each table should be followed by a table legend.
Production costs for color illustrations must be borne by the authors. The standard fee is 750 USD per printed page. Please state in your submission details in Manuscript Central the figures required to be reproduced in colour, noted by their number in the text.
Please note that it is in the author’s interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact our Production Department if you have any queries.
