- If more than six, list the first six, followed by et al.
Illustrations
If you wish, figures can be created using electronic software (i.e., Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw and Photoshop). Please save files in both the application in which they were created (i.e., Microsoft Word) and as either EPS or Tiff files. Use computer-generated lettering. Do not use screens, color, shading, or fine lines. If you are not able to access this type of software, a hard copy is okay.
Tables
Tables should be on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.
Permissions
Authors are responsible for obtaining signed letters from copyright holders granting permission to reprint material being borrowed or adapted from other sources, including previously published material of your own. Please ask for forms if needed.
Compliance with NIH and Other Research Funding Agency Accessibility Requirements
A number of research funding agencies now require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, LWW will identify to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and will transmit the post-print of an article based on research funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, or other funding agencies to PubMed Central. The revised Copyright Transfer Agreement provides the mechanism.
