Instructions to Authors
The goal of Tissue Engineering is to inform its readers of significant developments in areas related to tissue engineering. This Journal provides a forum for responsible discussion among identified individuals. Significant papers on any aspect of tissue engineering are invited for publication.
Tissue Engineering has experienced a significant increase in the number of manuscript submissions. In order to help defray the cost of processing and peer review, the Journal has instituted a manuscript submission fee of $85.
Manuscripts must be submitted online using the following url: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ten
Please read all the instructions to authors before submitting.
Language must conform to acceptable English usage and syntax. The contents must be clear, accurate, coherent, and logical. In accepting or rejecting a manuscript, the editors will also consider its originality, teaching value, and validity.
Manuscripts should not exceed approximately 4,000 words. Because of space limitations, the authors should be frugal with their illustrations. Occasional exceptions will be made for prize-winning essays, collective reviews, solicited material, or special works. To facilitate a quick review of manuscripts, authors are encouraged to suggest names of five potential reviewers with complete contact information when the manuscript is submitted.
For further information about editorial questions on papers in the online peer-review process, please contact Carol Lofton at (713) 348-4204 or TEeditor@rice.edu.
For technical information on using the online peer-review system, contact Adam Etkin at (914) 740-1200 or aetkin@liebertpub.com
Manuscript Submission and Copyright Agreement Form
The form (available from website at http://www.liebertpub.com/media/content/transfer_of_copyright.pdf) should be submitted for each paper. The copyright agreement is included in the Manuscript Submission and Copyright Release Form; manuscripts cannot be published without this form. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining signatures of coauthors. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form signed under the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright. Upon acceptance of your paper, please fax the copyright release agreement to 914-740-2108.
Manuscript Submission and Review
To help defray the cost of printing, the publisher requests that page charges of $75 per printed page be paid by all authors who have funds available from research grants or from their institutions. It should be noted that ability to pay page charges is not a prerequisite for publication in the Journal.
Decisions concerning editing, revisions, acceptances, and rejections will be made by the editors. Editing may include shortening the paper, reducing the number of illustrations and tables, or changing format. An accepted paper may be published with an accompanying discussion if the editors so desire.
Manuscripts should be submitted with the understanding that they have neither been published, nor are under consideration for publication elsewhere, except in the form of an abstract. Prior abstract publications should be described in the form of a footnote to the title. Published manuscripts become the sole property of the Journal and will be copyrighted. By submitting a paper to the Journal, the author (or authors) agrees to each of the above conditions. In addition, the author (or authors) explicitly assigns any copyrighted ownership he/she (or they) may have in such paper to the Journal.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Papers must be submitted via upload in a word processing format, preferably in Microsoft Word. Please do not include artwork within the text document. Figures and tables should be supplied in separate files, be labeled clearly, and should be in TIFF or EPS formats. Please see the Illustrations section for further details on art submission.
All copy must be double-spaced, including text, footnotes, references, legends, and tables. Text references must be supplied in sequence for all tables and figures. The title page should carry the full paper title, followed by the authors�BR>names, degrees, and where the work was performed. We require the full mailing address and contact information (telephone, fax and e-mail address for EACH author). Please indicate the corresponding author.
An abstract should accompany every original paper. Case Reports and Ideas and Innovations should include a summary. The abstract should appear on a separate page and should be at least 100 but not more than 200 words long. It should consist of factual information and not generalities (the problem investigated, the method used, the results obtained, and the conclusions reached). A brief introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, and reference sections should follow. At the conclusion of the references, the name and complete address of the reprint author should appear.
Correspondence and brief communications are published at the discretion of the editors as space permits. They should be double-spaced, and must not exceed 500 words in length.
References
The references must be double-spaced and must be cited in the text in numerical order, not alphabetically. References to journal papers should include (1) author(s), (2) title, (3) journal name (as abbreviated in Medline), (4) volume number, (5) the first page number, and (6) year, in that order. References to books should include (1) author(s), (2) chapter title (if any), (3) editor (if any), (4) title of book, (5) city of publication, (6) publisher, (7) year, and (8) page range. Volume and edition numbers, and name of translator should be included when appropriate. The author is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references.

Statistical Analysis
If a statistical analysis is done, an explanation of how it was performed must be stated at the end of the section preceding results. Unusual or complex methods of analysis should be referenced.
Illustrations
Please follow these guidelines for submitting figures:
Do NOT embed art files into a Word or PDF document. Figures provided in this format cannot be used for production purposes.
Line illustrations should be submitted at 600 dpi.
Halftones and color should be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi.
Save as either TIFF or EPS files. JPEG files are for screen representation-quality only and will print very poorly during the printing process. To ensure proper print quality, please submit only TIFF or EPS files.
Color art must be saved as CYMKnot RGB. (NB: If RGB files are submitted, the files will be converted to CYMK and some color variation will occur.)
Black and white art must be submitted as grayscalenot RGB.
Do NOT submit PowerPoint, PDF, Bitmap, or Excel figure or table files. When naming your figure and table files, please label them with the main authors last name, followed by a period (.), and then list the figure number. Ex: Smith.Fig1; Smith.Table1. Label figures and tables inside the files in addition to naming the file with the figure or table number. (i.e., When figures or table files are opened, the figure or table number should appear inside the file.)
In order to expedite your submission as quickly and efficiently as possible we ask that all artwork be checked using Digital Expert before submitting. This is a free tool that will ensure that you prepare and submit quality digital materials suitable for print. Go to http://dx.sheridan.com to check your image files. You will be given directions on how to correct any files which do not pass.
Additional Information about Converting Figure Files:
Converting Word or Excel files: Perhaps the best and easiest way to convert Word or Excel files into a format which is suitable for print is to scan them using the below guidelines:
ll files should be scanned at 100% size
300 dpi
Final color mode: CMYK
Save file as: .tif or .eps
If you need directions on how to convert a PowerPoint slide to acceptable format go to: www.liebertpub.com/MEDIA/pdf/ppconvert.pdf
Color photographs that significantly enhance the presentation will be considered for publication. Reproduction of color illustrations will be made at the expense of the author. Authors will be charged at the rate of $275 per piece of color art and $1,200 for each page that includes color art. For accepted papers, we cannot be expected to return illustrations to the author(s).
Legends are required for illustrations. They should be brief and pertinent. Legends for photomicrographs should identify the stain and state the magnification.
Please keep in mind that the figures will be reduced, so please do not submit large figures/graphs that contain small type, as the text within the figure will not be readable after reduction.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT:
Please upload individual files of all manuscript materialdo NOT upload a single PDF file containing all text, figure, and table files of your paper. Once all individual files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you and the peer-review process.
