About the journal
|
The journal deals with the broad spectrum of how computers are used in medical imaging. JDI presents the practicing radiologist with information to facilitate the understanding, selection and employment of computer applications in daily practice, independent of the radiologist's prior knowledge of computers. The journal explores how radiology information systems, picture archiving and communication systems, and other computer-based tools can help the practitioner's practice respond to these challenges.

Instructions to Authors
Preparation of Manuscripts
Papers must be written in English, and authors are urged to aim for clarity, brevity, and accuracy of information and language. Authors whose mother tongue is not English should have their papers checked for linguistic accuracy by a native English speaker.
Manuscripts are to be submitted in their final form. A charge will be made for changes introduced after the manuscript has been set into type. The position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margins.
Case reports accepted for publication are presented in their entirety in the electronic version of the journal. The printed version of the journal will contain the titles, authors, affiliations, and abstracts of the case reports.
Format:
Authors must submit three copies of a manuscript and three sets of illustrations (one set of original figures and two sets of photocopies.) To facilitate communication between the authors, editors, and publisher, the author must furnish email address, fax number, and phone number as well as a complete mailing address on the title page of the manuscript. Because of the electronic proofing procedures, supplying an email address is important. Manuscripts should be typed (double space preferred with wide margins) and follow the format: Title page, listing the title, names of all authors, institutions with full address, and address of the author to whom correspondence should be sent; Abstract of not more than 150 words; Keywords (up to six); Text, arranged in the order: Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements; References; Tables; Legends for all figures listed together on a separate page; Figures.
Footnotes should be avoided whenever possible. Essential footnotes should be numbered consecutively and placed at the bottom of the page to which they refer.
Authors must provide disks with electronic files of their submitted manuscript. Disks should be submitted in addition to the usual number of hardcopies. There are no particular software requirements; however the disks must be clearly labeled with both software and hardware information –e.g. Word 6.0 on PC or Word 6.0 on Macintosh.
Size of manuscripts:
Manuscripts should not exceed 18 double-spaced typed pages, including figures, tables, and reference list (references are to be limited to 20).
References:
The author is responsible for the accuracy of the references. Citations in the text should be identified by numbers in brackets, and the list of the references at the end of the paper should be both alphabetical by co-author and those by more than two authors in chronological order. Only works referred to in the text and already accepted for publication can be included:

| Tables:
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by lower-case superscript letters.
Illustrations:
Illustrations should be limited to those essential for the text. The same results should be presented as either graphs or tables not as both. While color illustrations will be accepted, authors submitting such illustrations may be asked to bear the additional production costs associated with them.
All figures, whether photographs, graphs, or diagrams, should be numbered consecutively and kept separately from the text. If illustrations are created electronically please see Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations. Line drawings should be supplied as clear black and white drawings suitable for reproduction. All lines should be of uniform thickness. Letters and numbers should be of professional quality and proper dimensions. All illustrations submitted should allow for high quality reproduction at a size permitting direct printing (with no reduction) up to 8.5 cm column width, up to 17.6 cm page width, not higher than 23.7cm. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations. Arrows, letters, and numbers should be inserted professionally. If this is not possible, inscriptions should be made on a transparent overlay (not on the actual photograph). Micrographs should have an internal magnification marker; the magnification should also be stated in the caption. Legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations in no more than four or five lines. Remarks such as "For explanation, see text" should be avoided. The legends should be typed on a separate page. Please note that the Publisher cannot return original art to authors.
Articles must be complete. They must include the following:
1. Email address as well as postal address, telephone and fax number for corresponding author
2. Signed Manadatory Author Submission Form
3. All figures (with legends) and tables (with titles) cited Please see Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
4. Structured abstract ( For Original and Review articles only) or Standard abstract (For Case Reports only)
5. Key Words (up to 6)
6. Article divided into appropriate sections
Affiliations of all authors
7. Complete and accurate references and citations
8. All references cited in text by numbers in square brackets
9. List of references in alphabetical order
10. References styled according to journal requirements
11. Article checked by physician whose mother tongue is English
Manuscripts lacking any of the above elements will be rejected from the production process and returned to you with a request for those missing elements.
All articles published in Journal of Digital Imaging will follow the Springer Online First production workflow, enabling publication on the LINK website, usually within 3-4 weeks of receipt of author corrections to galley proofs.
Once an article has been accepted, and received by the publisher in a complete form (with all figures, tables, references, finalized manuscript, signed Manadatory Author Submission Form, and valid email address, the article will be typeset and galley proofs will be available electronically for author proofing. Once your article has been received by the publishing office (Springer), you should expect an email in approximately 7-9 weeks from the production editor which will provide a link to the electronic version of the article, and a user id and password that will enable access to the article. A file containing the Proofreader’s Marks and a Fax Cover Sheet will also be available for downloading at this time. We ask that the author print out the article, make all corrections clearly on the pages, and fax (or via overnight courier) the pages with corrections to the production editor:
Madeline Kraner
Springer-Verlag New York, Inc.
175 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10010 U.S.A.
Tel: +1 212 460 1561
Fax: +1 212 533 5977
This will be the only proof you see for this article; the responsibility for proofreading is yours. Once you have returned the proofs, no other corrections will be allowed except in the form of an erratum. Once corrections reach us, they will be made and the article published on our LINK website. (Please note: When the article is published it will have a different link (url address) than the one you received for the galley proofs.) It will be citeable by the digital object identifier (DOI), a unique and persistent identification code assigned to the article upon acceptance and attached to it throughout the production and publication process (for more information about DOI, log on to www.doi.org). Publication of each article will be announced to LinkAlert subscribers who will then be allowed access to the article abstract; access to the full article is available to individual and institutional subscribers and SCAR members. Please remember that the speed with which your papers can be published electronically depends on the prompt return of proofs.
The article will be published first electronically as described above. It will eventually be assigned to a print issue of Journal of Digital Imaging in an order determined by the Editor-in-Chief. The date of electronic publication will appear in both the electronic and print versions.
Electronic Submission
Manuscripts can be submitted electronically. This site is user friendly, collects all the information required, and converts a manuscript in any of the common word processing programs into PDF for electronic review.
This journal will now receive electronic manuscript submissions via Journal of Digital Imaging - Manuscript Central. Authors will upload text and graphics to this system. The Editors will inspect the submission online and assign reviewer(s). Those reviewers will have access to the electronic manuscript that the author uploads and many weeks of time will be saved in the reviewing process.
System requirements:
Authors will need the following in order to use Manuscript Central:
|
Netscape 4.x or MS Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x
|
|
|
Adobe Acrobat browser plug-in
|
|
|
Electronic files of their article text
|
|
|
Electronic files of their article graphics (scanned or exported)
|
| 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.
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
Video
|
MPEG (.mpg) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mov, 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. |
