Instructions to Authors
Note to NIH Grantees
Pursuant to NIH mandate, Wiley-Blackwell will post the accepted version of contributions authored by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. For further information, see www.wiley.com/go/nihmandate .
Please note the important new information on electronic manuscript submission!
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine is an international journal devoted to the publication of original investigations concerned with all aspects of the development and use of nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques for medical applications. Reports of original investigations in the areas of mathematics, computing, engineering, physics, biophysics, chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology directly relevant to magnetic resonance will be accepted, as well as methodology-oriented clinical studies.
Submission of Manuscripts: Manuscripts must be submitted electronically. For complete instructions on how to do so, go to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mrm and follow the instructions for creating an account and submitting a manuscript.
Please note that submission instructions for this journal have recently changed. MRM is now using ScholarOne Manuscripts (formerly known as Manuscript Central), which allows for online submission and review. Files uploaded to this system are ultimately used in the final production through a paperless system.
When submitting your article to ScholarOne, upload as many files as needed for your manuscript in groups of three or fewer. These files will be combined into a single PDF document for the peer review process.
MS Word Format is preferred for manuscript submission. This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save as" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type. Electronic versions in ASCII or PDF are not acceptable. Each figure must be uploaded separately as an image file using TIFF or EPS formatting. Each image file must include all subparts (a, b, c, etc.) to the figure. Subparts should not be uploaded individually. Figures saved as PDF or prepared in Word, Excel, Microsoft Publisher, Lotus 123, PowerPoint and Corel Draw are not acceptable files. In order to fulfill the requirements of Latex submission, please upload the manuscript file, references and any other style file components. Always upload your main LaTex file first (before any other files) as 'Main Document'. Then upload each file that is a part of the LaTex file needed for processing. Be sure to upload all style sheets that are a part of the document. All images must be EPS files in order for the file to properly format. Make sure that all files related to the .tex document are uploaded as 'Tex/LaTex suppl File'. Tables should appear at the end of the manuscript text in the main document and should not be uploaded as separate image files. A figure legend/list of captions should appear at the end of the manuscript text as well. All submissions should have a complete title page and abstract in the main document file.
To submit a revision of a manuscript in ScholarOne, please respond to each individual comment made by the referee(s) in the space provided in your Author Center. You can use this space to document any changes you make to the original manuscript. If your response contains symbols or equations that cannot be placed in this space, please upload a file of your comments. Please do not upload your response in the 'Cover Letter' section. You must also upload an annotated manuscript as requested in your decision letter in addition to a clean unmarked version of your manuscript. Please mark the annotated file as supplemental material for review and the unmarked file as the main document. Major Revisions must be submitted within 120 days of the date of the decision letter. Minor Revisions must be submitted within 60 days of the date of the decision letter.
If you are updating a file, please delete the original version and upload the revised file. To designate the order in which your files appear, use the dropdowns in the "order" column below. View your uploaded files by clicking on HTML or PDF. When you are finished, click "Next."

Copyright Assignment: Magnetic Resonance in Medicine requires authors submit a completed copyright transfer agreement to the journal upon submission. NB: When signing on behalf of co-authors it must be clearly indicated in writing on the form itself. The preferred file type for the completed, scanned form is PDF. Please click here to download the form.
Please make sure to specify the paper type in your cover letter. The default type is Full Paper . In addition to regular papers, the journal also publishes Communications , Notes , Review Articles , and Letters to the Editor . Communications are preliminary accounts of work of special topicality and importance. In order to qualify for publications they must be carefully and concisely prepared. Notes are complete accounts of work of limited scope. Review Articles are scholarly reports on a field of particular interest to the journal's readership and are by invitation only. Authors intending to submit a review article need the Editor's permission before doing so. The purpose of the Letter to the Editor is to provide a forum for readers to critique papers in the journal. As far as priority is concerned they are treated like Communications . Once a Letter to the Editor has been accepted, a copy is mailed to the disputed paper's authors, who then have an opportunity to respond. The two letters will be published consecutively in the same issue of the Journal . Manuscripts are peer reviewed by two or more referees. Please note that figures will not be returned after an editorial decision has been made and all editorial decisions are final.
Authors in Japan please note: Wiley-Japan can provide authors in Japan with a list of recommended services to check and improve the English in their papers BEFORE submission. Please contact Masayo Kobayashi in the Wiley-Japan office by Fax (81-3-3556-9763) or E-mail ( wileyjpn@mb.kcom.ne.jp ) for more information, stating the Wiley journal you wish to submit to.
The chief criteria for acceptance of papers submitted for publication are the significance, originality, clarity, and quality of the work reported. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all persons listed as authors and by the appropriate authority at the institution where the work was carried out; it is further understood that any person cited as a source of personal communication has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other material published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinion of the Editor(s), the Society, or the Publisher.
Authors who submit a paper for publication in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine that reports investigations on human or animal subjects must have conformed to all requirements of the institution and country in which the investigations were carried out and a statement to this effect must be included. The Editorial Board recommends that for papers in which statistical methods are needed to reach conclusions (work relating to measurements in biological samples, animals and humans), an estimate of the minimum sample size be performed to obtain significant results and that the statistical assumptions used in the analysis be explained. A sample size of at least the minimum number should be used unless there are compelling reasons not to do so.
Authors submitting a manuscript do so with the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. The International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine will not refuse any reasonable request by the author for permission to reproduce any of his or her contributions to the journal.
Form and Organization: Manuscripts should be typewritten and must be 1.5 spacing throughout on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper with 1 inch margins on all sides and in a font of at least 11 point throughout. All pages should be numbered consecutively, including references, tables, and figure legends. Manuscripts that fail to conform to the organization requirements will cause processing delays.
Authors must supply a total word count along with their manuscript. Please type the word count of the manuscript body on Page 1 of your manuscript.
Manuscript length and number of citations:
| Word Limit and Citation Guideline: |
| Full Papers: |
5000 words, 10 figures and tables, 40 citations |
| Communications: |
3500 words, 7 figures and tables, 30 citations |
| Notes: |
2800 words, 5 figures and tables, 20 citations |
| Letters to the Editor: |
750 Words |
| The number of citations associated with each manuscript is a guideline. Please reference as necessary to provide complete citation of the work. |
Page 1 should contain the article title, author(s), and affiliation(s); at the bottom of the page should be typed a short running head (abbreviated form of the title) of fewer than 60 characters (including spaces), and the name, complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail, if available, of the person to whom proofs should be sent. Please also include the word count of the manuscript body. Page 2 should contain a short abstract, not exceeding 200 words in length (150 for Communications and Notes ), which should describe concisely the substantive content and the conclusions reached. Abstracts must be written in passive form. Avoid first person plural. Because the abstract will also be used by abstracting services, it must be self-contained, having no references to formulas, equations, or bibliographic citations that appear in the body of the manuscript. Up to four key words should be supplied for indexing at the end of the abstract.
Headings. Clearly indicate the organization of the paper by appropriate headings and subheadings.
Tables. Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of their appearance in the text. Type each table, double-spaced throughout, on a separate sheet; avoid vertical lines. Supply a short descriptive title (typed above the table). Type table footnotes, lettered a, b, etc., directly below the appropriate table, not on a separate sheet.
Figures. Figures should be numbered in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. All figures should be labeled a, b, c, etc. Indicate the figure number and labels on the front of each figure, but not within the figure frame . Symbols, letters, and numbers must be legible after reduction, at which time, the smallest data points should not be less than 1.5- to 1.7-mm high. To ensure adequate size, it is advisable to make data 3-mm high on a 5 x 7 print and 6 mm high on an 8 1/2 x 11 print. If it appears that the data would be too small after reduction, the figure will be returned to the author for modification. Images need to be cropped and all irrelevant parts removed. Legends are to be typed together on a separate sheet of paper and should also be included under the corresponding figure. Each article is granted one color page at no cost to the author. The cost for additional color is $500 per page, which will be reproduced at the author's expense. All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online edition of the journal at no cost to authors. For best reproduction, bright, clear colors should be used. Dark colors against a dark background do not reproduce well; please place your color images against a white background wherever possible. Please contact MRM Production at mrm@wiley.com for further information.

Abbreviations of journal names should follow the style of the latest edition of Index Medicus .
Style: In addition to the following style issues, please make sure that your manuscript conforms with the MRM Style Guide, which can be found at www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/0740-3194/style.pdf
Acronyms: MRM discourages the use of unnecessary acronyms. MRM will continue to allow new acronyms for unique and important contributions; however, it will be our policy to reduce expansion of acronyms that resule in weakening clarity. A list of commonly used acronyms can be found in the MRM Style Guide.
Abbreviations. Do not use final periods after abbreviations of units of measure (cm, s, kg, etc.) in text or in tables, except for "in." (inch). Use the American Chemical Society Style Guide or the Style Manual of the American Institute of Physics as a reference for abbreviations. Standard abbreviations, which need no definition, include CT, EPR, ESR, J-coupling, MR, MRI, NMR, pH, RF, T 1 , and T 2 . All other abbreviations need to be defined before their first use.
Equations. Mathematical equations or symbols must be typewritten wherever possible. Number equations consecutively, with the number placed in brackets against the right margin. Refer to equations as Eq. [3] except at the beginning of a sentence, when the word Equation should be spelled out. Punctuate equations to conform to their place in the syntax of the sentence. In both equations and text, all scalar mathematical Latin characters must be set in italic, whether they are variables or constants. Symbols representing vectors and matrices must be boldface Roman. The face for any subscript or superscript is determined by the function of that script. If a subscript or superscript is a word or stands for a word, it should be set in Roman; if it represents a variable, it should be italicized.
List of Symbols. Attach to the manuscript a complete typewritten list of symbols, identified typographically, not mathematically. This list will not appear in print but is essential in order to avoid costly authors' corrections in proof. Distinguish between "oh," "zero;" "ell," "one;" "kappa," "kay;" upper- and lowercase "kay;" etc. Also indicate when special type is required (German, Greek, vector, scalar, script, etc.); all other letters in mathematical expressions will be set in italic type.
Footnotes. Use footnotes only when absolutely necessary, in which case the footnotes should be typed consecutively, double-spaced, on a separate sheet of paper in order of their appearance in the text, and identified by Arabic numbers, 1, 2, etc. In the text, refer to the footnotes by superscript Arabic numerals.
Post-Acceptance: Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author together with reprint price lists and order forms. Authors should indicate all corrections in pencil in the margins of the proofs.
To avoid delays in publication, proofs should be returned within 48 hours of receipt.
Reprints. Authors may order reprints by using the reprint order form that accompanies the proofs.
The journal assesses no page or publication charges.
Electronic submission of manuscripts.
MS Word Format is preferred for manuscript submission. Electronic version in ASCII or PDF will not be accepted. You may now upload a LaTex file for submission, but it must be accompanied with a Post Script file of the manuscript. The LaTex file will be used for production. In order to fulfill the requirements of LaTex submission, please upload the manuscript file, references and any other style file components. Author-defined macros are unacceptable. Authors preparing disks on Macintosh computers should not use the Fast Save option. Symbols and special characters should not be created graphically; instead, use the character set provided in your word processor.
The journal does not assume responsibility for errors in conversion of customized software, newly released software, characters generated in an equation editor, or special characters. Displayed equations and tabular material will be processed in the traditional manner.
Electronic submission of graphics to publisher, post-acceptance . Images submitted must be in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). They may be submitted from either a MS-DOS or Macintosh system. If figures are in Adobe Photoshop, or EPS, it is recommended to use Aldus Freehand or QuarkXPress. Figures prepared in Word, Excel, Microsoft Publisher, Lotus 123, PowerPoint and Corel Draw are not acceptable as digital files. If your files have been prepared in one of these formats and cannot be converted you will be required to mail high quality hard copy figures. Failure to comply with these electronic submission procedures result in a delay in publication. All images must be saved and submitted in final size. The final figure sizes are: 1 column = 3-in. (8.25-cm) wide, 1.5 column = 5-in. (13-cm) wide, 2 columns = 6-in. (17.15-cm) wide. Figures should not exceed 8-in. (21.6-cm) in height. All cropping and manipulation must be completed before the images are submitted to the publisher.
Resolutions of scanned images are as follows: Line art is to be scanned at 1200 dots per inch (dpi). Halftones are to be scanned at 300 dpi. To ensure good reproduction on press, the minimum black value on a halftone scan (highlight) should be 4% black. The maximum value (shadow) should be no higher than 95%. Avoid the use of fine lines (point and below) for graphs and charts. Use only Adobe Type 1 fonts in creating images, and limit the number of fonts used. Do not reletter images in Photoshop. If relettering must be done, import the image into either Freehand or QuarkXPress and reletter, then make an EPS file. Make sure all scanned images are "clean." Look for and clean up dust specks, scratches, tape marks, and anything that is not part of the actual image. Files generated in Freehand should be saved in EPS format.
If QuarkXPress is used for image assembly, please follow these guidelines:
(a) After creating the image, adjust the page size in the "Document Setup" window in the pull-down menus. (b) Modify the page size to be only slightly larger than the image size. If the image is 20 pica wide by 10 pica deep, make the page size 22 pica wide by 12 pica deep and center the image within the page. (c) Once this has been done, save the page as an EPS file by doing a "Save As. . ." from the pull-down menu. (d) Each image must be submitted as a separate EPS file. Do not submit an entire Xpress file saved in EPS format. Electronic figures must be submitted on a separate file from the text file.
