Author Accounts
Authors entering the journal's Manuscript Central site can either create a new account or use an existing one. When you have an existing account, use it for all your submissions and you can track their status on the same page.
Getting Started
Once you have logged into your account, Manuscript Central will lead you through the submission process in a step-by-step orderly process. If you cannot finish your submission in one visit, you can save a draft and re-enter the process at the same point for that manuscript.
While submitting your electronic manuscript, you will be required to enter data about your manuscript in the system. These include title, subtitle, author names and affiliations, and so forth. Support for special characters is available. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email.
Uploading Files
Electronic files can be uploaded as PDF, PostScript, or RTF. PDF and PostScript files should already contain the graphics within the file. (PostScript files are converted by the system into PDF so that Editors and reviewers may share them.
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a common export property of most popular word processors. Check your word processor to see if it can export or "SaveAs" your file in RTF format. MS Word and WordPerfect both contain this function. After uploading the RTF for text, you will be prompted for uploading graphics. Common graphics files such as GIF, JPEG, EPS, TIFF and many others are supported. After uploading the parts of the article in this manner, the system will convert the files to PDF. You will see the result of the conversion with the Acrobat plug-in in your browser. Keep copies of your word-processing and graphics files. You may want to revise the manuscript during the review process and you will need the original files if your manuscript is accepted. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email.
You will also be notified by email that your submission was successful.
Graphics Quality
If you are submitting electronic graphics that you have scanned, be prepared to send the hard copy originals upon request. While the electronic files you have created are satisfactory for the review process, they may not be of sufficient quality for printing. This also holds true for files created in low-resolution graphics environments such as MS Powerpoint, etc.
Keeping Track
After submission, you may return periodically and monitor the progress of your submission through the review process.
Manuscript Style and Format
Manuscripts must be clearly and concisely written in English. They should be carefully scrutinized for errors before they are submitted. Correctness of spelling, grammar, and typing is the responsibility of the author. Foreign contributors, whose language is not English, should enlist the help of colleagues who are proficient in scientific English. Laboratory slang, clinical jargon, and colloquialisms are not acceptable. The Editors reserve the right to edit accepted manuscripts.
Manuscripts should be prepared using a word processing software package. The preferred platform is Microsoft Word, for either Macintosh or Windows operating systems. Manuscript prepared with other word processors must be converted to Word format for uploading to the journal site. The text should be written using 1.5-line spacing, with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) margins, on 8?x 11 inch (letter size) or A4 page. Please, follow the Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for preparations of figures.
The manuscript should be structured on the following sections, each one beginning on a new page: Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Subjects (if necessary), Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, Figure Legends.
Title page: This should be the first page of the manuscript and contain the title, authors' names (use only initial for authors' first names) and affiliated institutions, an abbreviated running title of not more than 76 characters, including spaces, for page heading, and the name, complete contact information (telephone and fax numbers, and email address) of the corresponding author. A footnote should be used to designate the name and address of the person to whom reprint requests should be addressed, if different than the corresponding author. The title should be a concise statement of the article's major contents, and allow readers to judge its relevance to their interest.
Abstract: This should not exceed 250 words and is of great importance to readers. It should describe briefly in complete sentences the purpose of the investigations, the methods utilized, the results obtained, and the authors' principal conclusions. The summary must be easily understood without recourse to the text or list of references. Avoid non-standard abbreviations, unfamiliar terms, symbols or acronyms not easily understood by the general scientific reader.
Key Words: Up to 5 key words characteristic of the contents and relevant field must be listed following the summary. Separate the key words by dashes, not commas.
Introduction: The introduction orients the reader in respect to the state of knowledge in the specific area under investigation. It assumes that the reader has a knowledge of mineral and calcified tissue metabolism. It should cite recent important work by others. Repetition of information in the introduction and the discussion is undesirable.
Experimental Subjects: For clinical studies, patient and control populations should be described in detail. In many studies details of age, race, and sex are important. In experiments involving human subjects, it should be stated that informed consent was obtained from the subjects and that the investigations had been approved by an institutional human research committee. Safeguards for protection of the rights of minors and mentally defective subjects should be stated. Reviewers are asked to verify whether the manuscript contains satisfactory information indicating human studies approval by the appropriate institutional authorities. Editors will decline manuscripts in which such approval is not clear or missing.
In text, tables, and figures, patients should be identified by number or serial letter rather than by initials or names. Photographs of patients' faces should be included only if scientifically relevant and the identity of the patient should be concealed by masking. Authors should obtain written consent from patients for use of such photographs.
Materials and Methods: These should be described and referenced in sufficient detail so that other workers can repeat your study. The sources of unusual chemicals and reagents and special pieces of apparatus should be stated. For modified methods only the modification used needs to be described.
Experiments involving animals must be approved by the appropriate institutional animal care and oversight committee. The authors are responsible for providing assurance that their experimental procedures involving animals are in compliance of the Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals, approved by the Council of the American Physiological Society in 1991. Detailed and updated information on such guidelines can be found at URL http://www.the-aps.org/publications/journals/guide.PDF. As for the human studies, reviewers and specifically asked to verify adherence to such principles. Editors will decline manuscripts in which compliance is not clear or missing.
Results: The experimental data should be presented briefly in text, tables, or figures, but the authors should avoid redundant methods of presentation as much as possible.
Discussion: Avoid repetition of material in the introduction and detailed repetition of the experimental findings. The discussion should be focused on the experimental findings and their interpretation. Unsubstantiated speculations and plans for future study are not appropriate.
Tables: These must be submitted in the form of typewritten copy. Each table must have a concise heading and be constructed as simply as possible; it must be intelligible without reference to the text.
Illustrations: The importance of clear illustrations cannot be over-emphasized and great care should be exercised in their preparation. Legends should be brief and provided on a separate page. Please, refer to the Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for preparation and formatting of all illustrative material.
Halftone Illustrations: Photographs should be sharp, well-contrasted glossy prints of the original negative, trimmed at right angles. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations. Please see that illustrations which are to appear together are mounted accordingly as plates and that they correspond in size. With X-rays, please indicate significant parts on the back of the copy, or on an overlay. Inscriptions on halftones should be about be about 3 mm high.
Line Drawings:
Please submit good-quality glossy or laser prints. The inscriptions should be clearly legible with words in upper-and lowercase characters, not all capitals. Recommended sizes are:
2 mm for capital letters and numbers, and 1,6 mm for lowercase letters.
References:
These must be cited in numerical order [in brackets] in the text with only one reference to a number.
References to articles in journals must be given in the following order: names of all authors with initials, year, title of paper with only initial letter of initial word capitalized, abbreviated journal name using Index Medicus form followed by volume number and first and last page of article. Journal title abbreviations will be those used in Index Medicus, listed in the first section of the "Subject Index" in each cumulated volume. Journal titles will be cited as they existed at the time of publication. For books: Author's last name with initial(s), year of publication, title of book, publisher, and city of publication.

Abbreviations and Symbols:
Abbreviations and symbols acceptable by the journal must conform to the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). A list of abbreviations, symbols, and nomenclature is published in: Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents. 2nd edition. Portland Press. 1992. Editor C. Liébecq, also available on-line at URL http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac/bibliog/white.html. Drugs must be designated by their generic names. Trade names spelled exactly as trademarked and with the initial letter capitalized may be used after the drug has been identified once by its generic name or by its systematic chemical name.
Terminology for bone histomorphometry should conform to the nomenclature, symbols, and units detailed in the Report of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research Committee, published in: J. Bone Miner. Res., 2:595-610. 1987.
In cases where nucleotide sequences are reported in an accepted manuscript, the authors are responsible for submitting the sequence data to either:

Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for print
General
Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
Vector (line) Graphics
Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
No rules narrower than .25 pt.
No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
Halftone Illustrations
Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
Scans*
Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
Graphics from Videos
Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
