Dysphagia is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to swallowing and its disorders. The journal's purpose is to provide an international source of information to physicians and other health professionals interested in this emerging field. Its scope includes all aspects of normal and dysphagic ingestion involving the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus. Accordingly, the journal will draw on expertise from a variety of disciplines including gastroenterology, neurology, otolaryngology, radiology, dentistry, rehabilitation medicine, speech pathology, nursing, dietetics, medical administration, and the basic biomedical sciences. The journal is intended to contribute to the development of this field by fostering communication between interested professionals, by setting forth existing knowledge, and by stimulating further research. Submission of contributions that advance the understanding of normal swallowing as well as those related to dysphagia, its diagnosis, and its clinical management, is encouraged. Dysphagia has been organized in collaboration with leading medical specialists is this field. The journal publishes original papers, case reports, technical and instrumental notes, letters to the Editor, and review articles. A separate section contains abstracts of selected papers from the current literature. Reviews of books or monographs and announcements about national or international associations and conferences related to ingestion and dysphagia are published as space is available. The journal assures expeditious review of submitted manuscripts and prompt notification of the authors. The Editors make every effort to have accepted papers published within 9 months of acceptance.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
 All manuscripts are to be submitted in English. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced on 8 1/2" x 11" (DIN A4) paper, with 1" to 1 1/2" margins. The order of the manuscript should be: title page, abstract and key words, text, references, tables, legends, and figures. The original and four complete copies of the entire manuscript, including figures and tables, etc., should be submitted to:
 Ms. Andrea Schaffeler 68 Starspray Blvd. Toronto, ON Canada M1C 4P2 FAX 416-284-1295  Email: aschaffeler@rogers.com 
 The journal strongly encourages authors to submit electronically prepared manuscripts in WordPerfect or Microsoft Word. Follow the instructions set forth here exactly; if, for example, the reference section is incorrectly styled, the value of the diskette submission will be reduced. Five double-spaced hard copies of the manuscript must accompany the software.
 Manuscript Preparation
 Title page. The title page should be separate, and should include the article title, the full names and addresses, as well as the degrees, of all authors, and the name of the institution where the work was performed. The names of the authors should appear only on the title page. The reprint address should include the full name and address, including the ZIP code, of the author to whom all reprint requests are to be sent. Please also include the telephone number of this author. It will not appear in the journal. If the author to whom proofs are to be sent is not the one to whom reprint requests are to be sent, please indicate this, giving the full name and address of the author to receive proofs. A short running title should be listed at the top left-hand corner of the title page. Any information about grants or other financial support should be supplied as an unnumbered footnote to the article title.
 Abstract and key words. On a separate sheet, a concise abstract of 50-200 words should be accompanied by about 2-6 relevant key words (index terms).
 General articles. General articles are defined as reports of original work, and these contributions should be substantial and valid. Readers should be able to learn from a general article what has been firmly established and what significant questions remain unresolved. Speculation should be kept to a minimum.
 Review articles. Review articles are usually solicited. They are expected to fully cover the extant literature concerned with a specific topic. The review should assess the bases and validity of published opinions and should identify differences of interpretation or opinion. The reviewer must be informed in the topic under consideration and must be recognized as competent in judgment and evaluation of its literature.
 Research articles. The text of research reports should be organized into a short introduction outlining the main point of the research, a description of the materials, methods, and results, and finally a discussion or conclusion.
 Case reports. Only unusual and especially significant reports will be published. Priority will be given to reports of multidisciplinary interest.
 Abbreviations and terminology. Uncommon abbreviations must be fully identified upon their first appearance in the text. Since Dysphagia is designed for a multidisciplinary audience, authors should avoid jargon specific to only one discipline. Footnotes should be avoided.
 References. References should be cited numerically in order of appearance. Abbreviations for periodicals should follow Index Medicus style. The data contained in the references should be arranged in accordance with the following.
 Books
 Donner MW: Radiology in swallowing disorders. In: Heuck FHW, Donner MW (eds.): Radiology Today, 2nd ed. Berlin: Springer-Verlag, 1983, pp 6-11
 Journal articles
 Cherry J, Siegel CI, Margulies SI, Donner MW: Pharyngeal localization of gastroesophageal reflux. Ann Otol 79: 912-916, 1970.
 Tables. Tables should be numbered with Arabic numbers and titled concisely, and abbreviations used in the table should be defined in table footnotes. Use superscript lower case letters (a, b, etc.) to list footnotes.
 Figure legends. Figure legends should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet. All symbols, lettering, arrows, and abbreviations used in the figures should be defined in the legends.
 Illustrations. The journal reserves the right to return illustrations for revision.
 Photographs: Three of each should be submitted as unmounted glossy prints. They should be carefully marked on the back with an adhesive label or tape indicating the figure number, top of illustration, and the principal author's name. Several prints to be combined into a single illustration should be mounted on cardboard with permanent adhesive or should be accompanied by a schematic drawing of the arrangement desired. Be sure that they will withstand a reduction to 169 x 226 mm. The Publisher reserves the right to cut apart and rearrange figures that do not fit the page. Such combined prints should all be cropped to square off at the edges to facilitate attractive reproduction.
 The journal reproduces radiographs in their original presentation. For example, prints should be submitted with the barium bolus appearing in white. Illustrations of the body should be oriented so that right-sided anatomical structures are on the reader's left; however, head scans should be oriented in the conventional manner, i.e., as if the brain were viewed from the top. Lateral views should be oriented with the facial profile to the reader's left.
 Line drawings: three sharp glossy prints should be submitted in a form suitable for reproduction, to allow for a reduction to 81 mm.
 Black-and-white halftone drawings: originals and three prints should be submitted and the final size should be indicated. Shooting the original will ensure optimal reproduction and it will be returned as soon as possible. Labels and lines should be on an overlay of the original, properly registered for accuracy.
 Color illustrations: are accepted for publication. The extra cost of color reproduction and printing must be covered by the author prior to publication. For one page of color, the cost is $1150. Additional pages of color cost $575 per page. Contributors planning to submit color illustrations should confer with the Editors about their planned illustrations before undertaking their preparation.
 Size of illustrations. Use the smallest size illustration that can be reproduced with clarity. If possible, prepare artwork so that a 1:1 reproduction is possible. In sizing art, allow for the legend - i.e., do not size the illustration to occupy the entire page space. The dimensions that should be kept in mind when sizing artwork for Dysphagia are:
 A full page = a maximum of 169 mm x 226 mm. A full column = a maximum of 81 mm x 226 mm. From 1 to 3 mm must be left between figures grouped together.
 Original drawings will be returned. Line art and halftone photographs will not be returned unless a request to do so accompanies the author's corrected proofs.
 Books for review. The receipt of books submitted for review will be acknowledged. Critical reviews will be solicited and published at the discretion of the Editorial Board.
 Proofs. The author will receive one set of page proofs and photoprints of the halftones for each paper. Separate instructions for proofreading accompany the proofs.
 Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
 General
 Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
 Vector (line) Graphics
 Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
 Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
 No rules narrower than .25 pt.
 No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%. 
 Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
 Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
 Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
 Halftone Illustrations
 Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
 Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
 Scans*
 Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
 Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
 Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
 * We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
 Graphics from Videos
 Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
 Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
 Video
 Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
 No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
