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 duplicate (one original and one copy) and printed on standard 8½ × 11-inch (21 × 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, including pharmaceutical and industry support, that require acknowledgment.
The title page must also include disclosure of funding received for this work from any of the following organizations: National Institutes of Health (NIH); Wellcome Trust; Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI); and other(s).
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 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 Cite unpublished data—such as papers submitted but not yet accepted for publication or personal communications, including e-mail communications—in parentheses in the text.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 & Artwork
For detailed information, including step-by-step instructions on creating new artwork or preparing existing artwork for publication, please refer to the 5 Steps to Creating Digital Artwork page on this site.
Art should be created/scanned and saved and submitted as either a TIFF, EPS, or PPT file.
Line art must have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi, and electronic photographs—radiographs, CT scans, and so on—and scanned images must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
If fonts are used in the artwork, they must be converted to paths or outlines or they must be embedded in the files.
Color images must be created/scanned and saved and submitted as CMYK files. See Color Figures below for more information.
Artwork generated from office suite programs such as CorelDRAW and MS Word and artwork downloaded from the Internet (JPEG or GIF files) CANNOT be used.
Cite figures consecutively, and number them in the order in which they are discussed.
When submitting single-column width figures, the editor strongly recommends that these be oriented vertically to allow larger image size. The orientation of the figures in the electronic submission will be interpreted by the production staff as the desired orientation in the final publication. Therefore, authors should submit single-column figures oriented vertically if at all possible.
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 Editorial Office of Advances in Anatomic Pathology appreciates each Review Article author who has been designated the assignment of authorship. There is no limit to the number of black and white images and we encourage liberal use of black-and-white images to embellish and enrich the articles. In terms of color, due to the expense, the amount of figures that can be placed in a Review will be determined by the cost.
Advances in Anatomic Pathology charges for color on a per-figure basis. The Editor-in-Chief has a limited amount of free color figures available each year that can be allocated to Review Articles at his discretion. It is the author's responsibility to pay for any color figures not assigned as gratis from the Editor-in-Chief. In this case, the first color figure is $500. The charge for each additional color figure is $150.
Please communicate with the Editorial Office prior to acceptance to determine if your color will be gratis.
Online-Only Color Figures: Authors may choose to have color figures published online-only and converted to black and white for print publication at no charge. In this case, figure captions of the black-and-white images in the print journal will alert readers to the existence of 4-color online.
In order to maximize the amount of color in your article while minimizing costs, please submit your work with multiple color figures (as many as 8) presented as panels in one multi-figure image file (or "plate"). For example, instead of submitting separate figures 1-4, combine these figures into one figure with 4 panels (a "plate"), named as "Figure 1A-C" or "Plate 1A-C". Be sure to change the citations as appropriate in text as well. The Editorial Office will provide assistance in formatting your figures correctly.
Please be sure that your figures are submitted correctly as per the above. If, after acceptance, your figures require additional processing prior to print, there will be a charge to the author at the rate of $30/per hour of work required to correct the image.
Tables: Create tables using the table creating and editing feature of your word processing software (eg, Word, Word Perfect). Do not use Excel or comparable spreadsheet programs. Group all tables in a separate file. Cite tables consecutively in the text and number them in that order. Each table should appear on a separate page and should 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; a figure giving the chemical structure of the drug is required. Capitalize the trade names 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.
Supplemental Digital Content
Supplemental Digital Content (SDC): Authors may submit SDC via Editorial Manager to LWW journals that enhance their article's text to be considered for online posting. SDC may include standard media such as text documents, graphs, audio, video, etc. On the Attach Files page of the submission process, please select Supplemental Audio, Video, or Data for your uploaded file as the Submission Item. If an article with SDC is accepted, our production staff will create a URL with the SDC file. The URL will be placed in the call-out within the article. SDC files are not copy-edited by LWW staff, they will be presented digitally as submitted. For a list of all available file types and detailed instructions, please visit http://links.lww.com/A142.
SDC Call-outs
Supplemental Digital Content must be cited consecutively in the text of the submitted manuscript. Citations should include the type of material submitted (Audio, Figure, Table, etc.), be clearly labeled as "Supplemental Digital Content," include the sequential list number, and provide a description of the supplemental content. All descriptive text should be included in the call-out as it will not appear elsewhere in the article.
Example:
We performed many tests on the degrees of flexibility in the elbow (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, which demonstrates elbow flexibility) and found our results inconclusive.
List of Supplemental Digital Content
A listing of Supplemental Digital Content must be submitted at the end of the manuscript file. Include the SDC number and file type of the Supplemental Digital Content. This text will be removed by our production staff and not be published.
Example:
Supplemental Digital Content 1. wmv
SDC File Requirements
All acceptable file types are permissible up to 10 MBs. For audio or video files greater than 10 MBs, authors should first query the journal office for approval. For a list of all available file types and detailed instructions, please visit http://links.lww.com/A142.
English Language Assistance for Authors: Appropriate use of the English language is a requirement for publication in Advances in Anatomic Pathology.

After Acceptance
Page proofs and corrections: Corresponding authors will receive electronic page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. Portable document format (PDF) files of the typeset pages and support documents (eg, reprint order form) will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. Complete instructions will be provided with the e-mail for downloading and printing the files and for faxing the corrected page proofs to the publisher. Those authors without an e-mail address will receive traditional page proofs. Changes that have been made to conform to journal style will stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Only the most critical changes to the accuracy of the content will be made. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material will be disallowed. The publisher reserves the right to deny any changes that do not affect the accuracy of the content. 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 corrections faxed 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 and a price list with the page proofs. Reprint requests should be faxed 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 Reprint Department, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 351 W. Camden Street, Baltimore, MD 21201; Fax: 410.528.4434; E-mail: reprints@wolterskluwer.com with any questions.
