Instructions to Authors
Scope: The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery is a peer reviewed, multidisciplinary journal directed to an audience of craniofacial surgeons. The journal publishes original articles in the form of clinical and basic research, scientific advances, and selected abstracts from international journals.
Manuscript Submission
A submitted manuscript must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract or preliminary report), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and if accepted, it must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the study to a significant extent. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the journal, its editors, or the publisher.
Send the manuscript with a cover letter to:
Mutaz B. Habal, MD, The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, Tampa Bay Craniofacial Center, Inc., 801 West Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Tampa, FL 33603, USA.
E-mail: mbhabal@gte.net
The editorial office will acknowledge receipt of your manuscript and will give you a manuscript number for reference. Address all inquiries regarding manuscripts not yet accepted or published to the journal's editorial office.
Patient anonymity and informed consent: It is the author's responsibility to ensure that a patient's anonymity be carefully protected and to verify that any experimental investigation with human subjects reported in the manuscript was performed with informed consent and following all the guidelines for experimental investigation with human subjects required by the institution(s) with which all the authors are affiliated. Authors should mask patients' eyes and remove patients' names from figures unless they obtain written consent from the patients and submit written consent with the manuscript.
Copyright: All authors must sign a copy of the journal's "Authorship Responsibility, Financial Disclosure, and Copyright Transfer" form and submit it with the original manuscript.
Permissions: Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
General format: Submit manuscripts in English in triplicate (one original and two copies) and printed on standard 8&#frac; &#times; 11-inch (21 &#times; 28-cm) paper with at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Double-space all copy, including legends, footnotes, tables, and references, and print on one side of the sheet only. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors must then submit the final, accepted version of the manuscript on disk.
Title page: Include on the title page (a) complete manuscript title; (b) authors' full names, highest academic degrees, and affiliations; (c) name and address for correspondence, including fax number, telephone number, and e-mail address; (d) address for reprints if different from that of corresponding author; and (e) sources of support that require acknowledgment.
Unstructured abstract and key words: Limit the abstract to 250 words. It must be factual and comprehensive. Limit the use of abbreviations and acronyms, and avoid general statements (eg, "the significance of the results is discussed"). List three to five key words or phrases.
Text: Organize the manuscript into four main headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Define abbreviations at first mention in text and in each table and figure. If a brand name is cited, supply the manufacturer's name and address (city and state/country). Acknowledge all forms of support, including pharmaceutical and industry support, in an Acknowledgments paragraph.
Abbreviations: For a list of standard abbreviations, consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Guide (available from the Council of Science Editors, 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814) or other standard sources. Write out the full term for each abbreviation at its first use unless it is a standard unit of measure.
References: The authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. Key the references (double-spaced) at the end of the manuscript. Cite the references in text in the order of appearance. Cite unpublished data, such as papers submitted but not yet accepted for publication or personal communications, in parentheses in the text. If there are more than three authors, name only the first three authors and then use et al. Refer to the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus for abbreviations of journal names, or access the list at [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lji.html. Sample references are given below:

Figures: Cite figures consecutively in the text, and number them in the order in which they are discussed. Write the first author's last name, the figure number and figure part (1A, 1B, 1C), and an arrow to indicate the top edge of the figure on a label pasted to the back of each figure. Submit all artwork in triplicate in camera-ready form; illustrations should be glossy prints or high-quality, laser-printed illustrations. Photocopies are unacceptable. Lettering should be large enough that it will remain legible after figure reduction; typewritten or unprofessional lettering is unacceptable. Figure parts (A, B, C) may be left unlabeled (but clearly marked on back) for professional placement by the Journal's printer.
Photographs of recognizable persons should be accompanied by a signed release from the patient or legal guardian authorizing publication. Masking eyes to hide identity is not sufficient.
Figure legends: Legends must be submitted for all figures. They should be brief and specific, and they should appear on a separate manuscript page after the references. Use scale markers in the image for electron micrographs and indicate the type of stain used.
Color figures: The journal accepts for publication color figures that will enhance an article. Authors who submit color figures will receive an estimate of the cost for color reproduction. If they decide not to pay for color reproductions, they can request that the figures be converted to black and white at no charge.
Digital figures: Electronic art may be submitted as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files and must be accompanied by a high-quality print. Preferred formats are PhotoShop and Illustrator. Each figure must be contained in an individual file on a high-density floppy disk, Iomega Zip, CD-R, or e-mail attachment. Always indicate the software used to create the art (eg, PhotoShop 5.0, Illustrator 7.0). When considering the submission of electronic art, please request a copy of the Instructions for Preparing Electronic Art from the journal's editorial office. PowerPoint, Corel Draw, and files downloaded from the Internet cannot be used.
Tables: Cite tables consecutively in the text and number them in that order. Key each on a separate sheet, and include the table title, appropriate column heads, and explanatory legends (including definitions of any abbreviations used). Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript. They should be self-explanatory and should supplement, rather than duplicate, the material in the text.
Style: Pattern manuscript style after the American Medical Association Manual of Style (9th edition). Stedman's Medical Dictionary (27th edition) and Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition) should be used as standard references. Refer to drugs and therapeutic agents by their accepted generic or chemical names, and do not abbreviate them. Use code numbers only when a generic name is not yet available. In that case, supply the chemical name and a figure giving the chemical structure of the drug. Capitalize the tradenames of drugs and place them in parentheses after the generic names. To comply with trademark law, include the name and location (city and state in USA; city and country outside USA) of the manufacturer of any drug, supply, or equipment mentioned in the manuscript. Use the metric system to express units of measure and degrees Celsius to express temperatures, and use SI units rather than conventional units.
After Acceptance
Disk submission: Authors must submit an electronic version of the final accepted manuscript along with a printout of the final accepted manuscript. Electronic files should be submitted in a standard word processing format; Microsoft Word (or Corel WordPerfect) is preferred. Although conversions can be made from other word processing formats, the vagaries of the conversion process may introduce errors. Do not submit ASCII text files. Do not use automatic numbering or footnotes for references. The Journal does not assume responsibility for errors in the conversion of customized software, newly released software, and special characters. Authors preparing manuscripts on Macintosh computers should not use the Fast Save option. Each submitted disk must be clearly labeled with the name of the author, item title, journal title, word processing program and version, and file name used. The disk should contain only one file–the final version of the accepted manuscript.
Page proofs and corrections: Corresponding authors will receive page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs. Changes that have been made to make the article conform to journal style should be allowed to stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those required to correct errors or to answer queries. Proofs must be checked carefully and returned within 24 to 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the cover letter accompanying the page proofs.
Reprints: Authors will receive a reprint order form with the page proofs that includes reprint costs. Reprint requests should be returned with the corrected proofs, if possible. Reprints are normally shipped 6 to 8 weeks after publication of the issue in which the item appears. Contact the Reprints Department, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106-3621 with any questions.
Publisher's contact: Send corrected page proofs, reprint order forms, color proofs, and any other related materials to Journal Production Editor, Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106-3621.
