Manuscript Content
Title Page
Please include a brief and descriptive title of the article, as well as a short title of fewer than 50 characters; each author's full name, highest academic degree and hospital and academic affiliations; acknowledgement of ALL sources of financial support; and the name, address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the individual responsible for editorial correspondence and reprint requests.
Abstract (Page 1)
Include a brief abstract (without references) of fewer than 250 words for major articles, 50-100 words for case reports. Divide the abstract into sections: Introduction (one or two sentences), Methods and Results, and a Conclusion that states the importance and potential implications of the observations. Avoid all abbreviations other than standard units of measurement and common abbreviations, such as RV, LV, etc. Use generic names of drugs.
Key Words
The abstract should be followed by 5 to 10 key words suitable for indexing.
Text (Page 2)
Organize into sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion, with appropriate subheadings to make the sections easily understood. Explain abbreviations at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses, and limit use only to a few commonly accepted words. References, tables, and figures should be cited in numerical order. Avoid jargon, clich¨¦s, and laboratory slang. References to pacemakers, defibrillators, and leads must adhere to code structures and usage conventions set forth by NASPE/BPEG code. Place acknowledgments at the end of the text, before references. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to seek appropriate grammatical assistance. In general, manuscripts should not exceed 20 double-spaced typed pages, 8 figures, 3 tables, and 35 references.
References
Include references to unpublished material or personal communications in the text in parentheses. Number all published references in the order in which they are cited in the text. Abbreviate titles of periodicals according to the style of Index Medicus, National Library of Medicine. List all authors in each reference following exactly the format and punctuation shown below; do NOT use "et al."
Journal Article - Example
Pelargonio G, Fogel RI, Knilans TK, Prystowsky EN: Late occurrence of heart block after radiofrequency catheter ablation of the septal region: Clinical follow-up and outcome. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2001; 12:56-60.
Chapter in Book with Different Author and Editor - Example
Myerburg RJ, Mitrani R, Interian A, Castellanos A: Identification of risk of cardiac arrest and sudden death in athletes In Estes NAM, Salem DM, Wang PJ, eds: Sudden Cardiac Death in the Athlete. Armonk, NY: Futura Publishing Co., 1999, pp, 25-27.
Book with Identical Author and Editor - Example
Klein GJ, Prystowsky EN: Clinical Electrophysiology Review. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1997, p. 83.
Figures/Illustrations
Each figure must have a legend typed double-spaced on a separate page, explaining all abbreviations and symbols appearing in the illustration. Label each figure to match the corresponding number in the manuscript text and in the Figure Legend.
There are three preferred formats for digital artwork submission: Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Portable Document Format (PDF), and Tagged Image Format (TIFF). We suggest that line art be saved as EPS files. Alternately, these may be saved as PDF files at 600 dots per inch (dpi) or better at final size. Tone art, or photographic images, should be saved as TIFF files with a resolution of 300 dpi at final size. For combination figures, or artwork that contains both photographs and labeling, we recommend saving figures as EPS files, or as PDF files with a resolution of 600 dpi or better at final size. More detailed information on the submission of electronic artwork can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
Black and white illustrations are published without charge to the author. Arrangements for color reproductions must be made with the publisher before publication. Four-color illustrations are printed at a cost to the author of $500 (US) per figure. Written permission from publishers for any figure previously published should be provided with the original submission. Photographs in which a patient or other person is identifiable must have written permission from that person.
Tables
Tables must be self-explanatory and supplement, not duplicate, the text. Number brief titles in Arabic numerals according to the order they are mentioned in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate page and designed for economy of space and readability. Notes designated in the tables and all abbreviations should be defined in a footnote. Abbreviations should be identified in alphabetical order. Footnote designations should be used in the following order: *, +, +, ¡ì.
Case Reports
Case reports are limited to 4 authors and 8, double-spaced pages total - including text, 20 or fewer references, figures legends and a maximum of 4 figures.
Arrhythmia Rounds
Submissions include case presentations, ECGs, intracardiac recordings, activation maps, intracellular action potentials, or other illustrative material that is used in the context of teaching concepts of diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. Manuscripts are limited to 4, double-spaced typewritten pages and up to 3 illustrations.
EP Image
Limited to one, double-spaced, typewritten page and no more than 2 illustrations and 4 authors. Images will be judged based on their aesthetic quality and the scientific/clinical importance of the observation.
Techniques and Technology
Content includes detailed descriptions of techniques in electrophysiology, ablation or device implantation, as well as reviews of new technology. Articles are mostly by invitation, but unsolicited submissions are welcome. Authors may contact Hugh Calkins, hcalkins@jhmi.edu, with their proposal prior to submission.
