The Editors cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of typescripts. A paper is accepted for publication on the understanding that it has not been submitted simultaneously to another journal in the English language.
Typescripts that contain the results of human and/or animal studies will only be accepted for publication unless it it is made clear that a high standard of ethics was applied in carrying out the investigations. In the case of invasive studies in humans, typescripts should include a statement that the research protocol was approved by a local ethical committee.
The Editors reserve the right to make editorial and literary corrections. Any opinions expressed or policies advocated do not necessarily reflect those of the Editors.
These instructions are in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. (BMJ 1991;296: 401-405).
Papers should be submitted in journal style. Failure to do so may lead to significant delays in publication. Spelling may be British or American.
Accepted Papers
Disk submission: Authors are requested to submit the final version of their manuscript on disk. To facilitate processing, please observe the following guidelines. The disk copy of your manuscript text can be submitted in either MS-DOS or Apple Macintosh format with a hard copy (i.e. printout). The hard copy should be typed in double spacing throughout on good quality, white paper with a margin of at least 3 cm all round. Type on one side of the paper only. The disk copy MUST be identifical to the accompanying printout. Tables should be included at the end of the printout or given as separate files. The disk should be clearly labelled with the first author's name, word processing package used and at least one keyword form the MS title. Authors who submit material on disk will receive 25 free offprints.
Graphics: must be submitted as hard copy and may be accompanied by a disk containing *.TIFF or *.EPS artwork files. High quality laser printouts on good quality, white paper are acceptable. The overall dimensions should not exceed A5 paper size, i.e. 15 X 21 cm (approx. 6" X 8").
It is the author's reponsibility to ensure that back-up copies are kept.
Papers should be set out as follows: title page, summary, text, acknowledgements, references, tables, captions to illustrations.
Title Page: The title page should give the following information: (1) title of the article, (2) name of each author, (3) name and address of the department or institution to which the work should be attributed, (4) name, address, telephone, fax number and email address (if available) of the author responsible for correspondence and to whom requests for offprints should be sent.
Summary: This should consist of not more than 200 words summarising the contents of the article.
Text: Headings should be appropriate to the nature of the paper. In general, those for experimental papers should follow the usual conventions. Other papers can be subdivided as the author desires; the use of headings enhances readability. Normally only two categories of headings should be used: major ones should be typed in capital letters; minor ones should be typed in lower case (with an initial capital letter) in bold or underlined. A line space should be left above and below each heading.
Acknowledgements: Sources of support in the form of grants gratitude to colleagues etc. should be given under this heading.
Reference Format
The accuracy of references is the responsibility of the author. References should be entered consecutively by Arabic numerals in square brackets in the text. The reference list should be listed in numerical order on a separate sheet in double spacing. References to journals should include the author's name and initials (list all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first three and add et al.), full title of paper, journal title abbreviated using Index Medicus abbreviations (italic), year of publication, volume number (bold), first and last page numbers. For example:
1. McGarry SJ, Williams AJ. Digoxin activates sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-releasechannels: a possible role in cardiac inotropy. Br J Pharmacol 1993; 108: 1043-1050.
2. Mayrleitner M, Timerman AP, Wiederracht G, Fleischer S. The calcium release channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum is modulated by FK-506 binding protein: effect of FKBP-12 on single channel activity of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor. Cell Calcium 1994; 15: 99-108.
3. Daly JW. Mechanism of action of caffeine. In: Garrattini S (Ed.). Caffeine, coffee and health. New York, Raven Press, 1993: pp. 97-150.
Figures
Line illustrations: All line illustrations should present a crisp black image on an even white background and should not be larger than 15 X 21 cm (A5 page). Laser printouts are acceptable but not xerox copies. The lines must not be too fine, or they will 'break-up' on production.
Photographic illustrations and radiographs: These should be submitted as clear, highly contrasted black and white prints (unmounted), sizes as above. Photomicrographs should have the magnification and details of staining techniques shown. X-ray films should be submitted as photographic prints, carefully made to bring out the detail to be illustrated, with an overlay indicating the area of importance. Figure tables should be submitted appropriately lettered in capitals. The size of the letters should be appropriate to that of the illustration, taking into account the necessary size reduction to fit one or two columns in the journal.
All illustrations should be clearly marked (by a label pasted on the back or a soft crayon) with figure number and the author's name, and the TOP of figure should be clearly indicated by an arrow. Never use ink of any kind. Do not use paper clips as these can scratch or mark the illustrations. Illustrations in colour cannot be accepted unless the cost of origination and publication is paid for by the author. The prices are Euro 485 for the first page of colour and Euro 236 for subsequent pages of colour.
Permission to reproduce borrowed illustrations or tables or identifiably clinical photographs. Written permission to reproduce borrowed material (illustrations and tables) must be obtained from the original publishers and authors, and submitted with the typescript. Borrowed material should be acknowledged in the captions in this style: 'Reproduced by the kind permission of (publishers) from (reference).'
Figure captions: These short descriptive titles should be listed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.
Tables
These should appear double spaced on separate sheets and contain only 3 horizontal rules. Do not submit tables as photographs. A short descriptive title should appear above each table and any footnotes, suitably identified, below. Care must be taken to ensure that all units are included. Ensure that each table is cited in the text.
Units & Abbreviations
Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. All unusual abbreviations should be fully explained at their first occurence in the text. All measurements should be expressed in SI units. For more detailed recommendations, authors may consult the Royal Society of Medicine publication entitled Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: a Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors.
Proprietary names of drugs, instruments etc. should be indicated by the use of initial capital letters.
Disk/Electronic Submission
Initial submissions should be sent to the relevant Editor as a pdf file via email. Please do not send a hard copy at this stage. Text should be prepared using Microsoft Word and figures should be prepared using a graphics application capable of exporting TIFF format. Files preferably should be converted to pdf using Adobe Acrobat 4.0 software. Ideally, the manuscript should be attached as a single pdf file with text and all figures included.
Alternatively, manuscripts may be submitted as a Word file and separate figures in TIFF format. Ensure that each attached file is not greater than 2MB in size.
Copyright Information
In order for us to ensure maximum dissemination and copyright protection of material published in the journal, copyright must be explicitly transferred from author to publisher.
The copyright transfer agreement will be sent to the corresponding author on receipt of the article at the publishers. It must be signed by the principal author before the paper is published.
We assure you that no limitation will be put on your personal freedom to use material contained in the paper without requesting permission, provided acknowledgement is made to the journal as the original source of publication.
Proofs
Page proofs are sent as a pdf file by email to the author for checking. The proofs, with any minor essential corrections clearly marked, must be returned by email or fax to the email address or fax number as given on the accompanying letter within 48 hours of receipt.
Elsevier Science will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive email or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete.
Offprints
Authors who submit material on disk will receive 25 free offprints.
An offprint order form will be sent to the author with the page proofs.
