Structured abstracts must contain a variation of the following sections: Background, Patients and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions.
Unstructured abstracts must be used for invited review articles and can be used for Molecular Insights in Patient Care case reports. Text should adhere to the American Medical Association Manual of Style for grammar, punctuation, and style.
Manuscripts should be written as concisely as possible and should not exceed the word count limitation set forth above for each manuscript type. Manuscripts that exceed this word count may be returned to the author for length revision and thereafter reviewed by the Editorial Board to determine acceptance for publication. Footnotes should be used only in tables and figures, not in text. Please identify the different heading levels clearly as [H1], [H2], [H3], and so forth.
This will help avoid confusion during copyediting. Include in-text citations for all figures and tables. All reference citations should as superscripted, sequential numerals and have a corresponding reference listed in the reference list.
Figures and tables must be submitted as separate files. Figures and tables should enhance, not repeat, information in text. All elements should be numbered consecutively as they appear in text and all must be cited at least once. Abbreviations should appear alphabetically within the legend regardless of the order of appearance in the figure.
Figures can be submitted in black and white or color. All figures should be submitted with legends, which should include expansion of all abbreviations appearing in the figures.
Tables should be created in MS Word rather than a special table-making program or excel, and should be submitted in an editable format ie, not embedded. They should include a brief title, written in Title Case, that provides a discrete and concise description of the table contents ie, readers viewing the table alone will understand what it is presenting without having to reference the text.
Explanatory information, including expansion of all abbreviations, should be placed in footnotes. Original electronic figure files, including photographs or scans, must be submitted with the following specifications:. Readers will be referred to the online material in the print version of the article. The Editorial Office reserves the right to decide which material will be published online-only. Authors are responsible for clearly identifying any non-original or pre-published material and providing the full citation of the original source.
Authors are also responsible for obtaining written permission from the original copyright holder usually the publisher. This should be included with the submission; however, copies of letters requesting permission will be accepted, pending successful follow up. Information originating with the U. Government, which is considered public domain and does not require permission for re-use, should be clearly identified as such.
If permission has been sought and granted by the author, this must be conveyed clearly to the journal office; otherwise, a copy of the original source must be provided so that the journal office can obtain the necessary permission. An appendix contains supplementary information relating to either an entire issue or a particular article that cannot be presented easily as a table or figure and is too central to the article to be placed in a separate publication. Appendices should be cited consecutively in text, just as a table or figure would be cited eg, Appendix 1.
Please note that the majority of appendices will be published as online-only material ie, will not appear in the print version. Readers will be referred to the online version of the article to access this supplemental online material.
Individuals who have contributed to the manuscript but whose contributions do not justify authorship, such as those who provided technical help or writing or reviewing assistance, can be noted in an acknowledgment. Because readers may infer endorsement of the content, authors should obtain permission to list all persons in an acknowledgment.
Acknowledgments should be submitted as a separate file to facilitate the blinded review process. Study results and statements not in common acceptance should be referenced as appropriate. Authors should use original research sources where possible.
