About the journal
|
JARO publishes research findings from all disciplines related to otolaryngology and communications sciences, including hearing, balance, the chemical senses, voice, speech, and laryngeal function. The peer-reviewed journal publishes papers presenting studies of basic and clinical significance in both humans and animal models, describing experimental and theoretical studies of the processes that underlie evolution, development, structure, function, etiology and intervention. Papers from the basic sciences or papers of an experimental nature describing clinical research are welcome. Reviews may be published at the editorial board's discretion, but should not be submitted without first checking with the editor-in-chief. Papers appear in both a print and an electronic version (at http://link.springer-ny.com) and will appear on-line as soon as the author's galley proofs are returned to the publisher. |

Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be prepared in the form described in the following section. Submit the original and four complete copies of the manuscript, including four of all figures and tables. Copies will be sent to reviewers, so submit originals of photographs and other materials that do not reproduce well. At the time of first submission, the text (but not the figures) of the manuscript must be sent also on a 3.5" floppy disk or a Zip-100 disk in MS Word (PC or Mac)or WordPerfect (PC)format. This file will be sent to an Associate Editor as part of the review process. Authors are encouraged to accompany revised manuscripts with electronic copies of the text and figures; the figures can be TIFF or EPS files. These files will be sent to the publisher. It is the author's responsibility to make sure the paper and electronic copies of the manuscript are exact duplicates. If the manuscript contains material that
overlaps substantially with other unpublished manuscripts or that depends heavily on such unpublished work, include three copies of those manuscripts for the reviewers.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer and author guarantee statement. Please click here to download. All the authors of a manuscript must sign this form. With this form, the authors (except for U.S. government employees) transfer the copyright to the ARO and affirm that the manuscript is original and has been submitted only to JARO, that all authors contributed to the work and approve the contents of the manuscript, that all applicable principles of scientific integrity have been followed, and that any conflicts of interest on the part of any authors are revealed in a separate cover letter to the Editor-in-Chief.
On the copyright form, the authors can suggest which of the Associate Editors are most appropriate to handle the review of the manuscript and can recommend up to four reviewers, who would not have a conflict of interest in reviewing the manuscript. Manuscripts will be sent to two or more reviewers and the reviews will be evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with one associate editor.
Form of the manuscript: Manuscripts must be typewritten or printed on 8.5"x11" or A4 paper with double spacing throughout, including abstract, text, acknowledgments, references and figure captions, and wide ( > 1" or 2.5 cm) margins. As a convenience to reviewers, line numbers can be provided if allowed by the word processing program. Number all pages, beginning with the abstract page, at bottom. The text should be arranged as follows:
Title page:a separate page including the following: 1) title of the article; 2) complete names, institutional affiliations and addresses (city, state or province, country, and postal code) of all authors; 3) a short title for the running head of the article < 30 characters including spaces); 4) the complete mailing address of the corresponding author, who will receive all communications from the editorial office and the publisher, including telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address. If the corresponding author will be away from his/her mail for a significant period, specify an alternative and provide the same information.
Abstract:this should be a concise summary of the major findings of the paper suitable for the general readership of JARO and must be less than 300 words long. It should summarize the objectives, methods, and results of the paper and should not contain references or subheadings. It should be on a separate page along with 4-6 keywords which will be used in indexing.
Text:the text should be organized into sections, typically: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Other organizations can be used, as required by the material, but the manuscript should begin with a general introduction and conclude with an overall discussion. The metric system of units should be used throughout. Acronyms should be defined at first mention in abstract and text.
Acknowledgments: Collaborators, technical support, sources of financial support, and other appropriate acknowledgments must be included in a separate section at the end of the text.
References:Only essential references should be included. All references must be cited in the text. Citations should include the author's last name and year of publication within parentheses, as (Jones 1995) or (Jones and Smith 1995); for papers with three or more authors, only the first author's name should be given and the others should be abbreviated et al. (Jones et al. 1995). For multiple citations, arrange them in order of date separated by semicolons (Smith 1994; Jones et al. 1995). For multiple citations to a single author, give the name once, followed by the dates (Jones 1991, 1994). For citations with identical author and date, use lower case letters to distinguish the references (Jones et al. 1995a,b); the same letters should be included in the references' dates in the reference list.
Only published and in-press manuscripts may be included in the reference list. Abstracts should be cited only when the material is otherwise unpublished. Submitted manuscripts, unpublished results, and personal communications may be cited in the text only as (EF Jones, submitted), etc.
The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order by first author's name and double spaced. Journal names should be abbreviated as in Index Medicus. Examples of references:
Journal article:
Miller RL, Schilling JR, Franck KR, Young ED (1997) Effects of acoustic trauma on the representation of the vowel /e/ in cat auditory nerve fibers. J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 101:3602-3616.
Book:
Irvine DRF (1986) The Auditory Brainstem. Berlin, Springer-Verlag.
Chapter in a Book:
Rhode WS, Greenberg S (1992) Physiology of the cochlear nuclei. In: Popper AN and Fay RR (eds) The Mammalian Auditory Pathway: Neurophysiology. New York, Springer-Verlag, pp. 84-152.
Permissions:Lengthy direct quotations (100 words or more), illustrations, or tables that have appeared in previously published material must be accompanied by written permission for their use from the copyright holder (normally the publisher).
Tables:Tables should be kept to a minimum and usually should present statistical summaries, not raw data. All tables must be mentioned in the text, as Table 2, etc. Each table should be typed double spaced on a separate page and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. There should be an appropriate brief legend or title at the top. Explanatory material, including the definitions of abbreviations used in the table, should be incorporated in footnotes to the table. The table should be arranged so that similar items are in the same column with identifying headers at the top of the columns.
Figures:All figures must be mentioned in the text as Fig. 3, etc. Illustrations should be of professional quality and should be submitted as high-quality, unmounted, glossy photographs or computer-generated graphics on laser paper (no line width less than than 0.25 points; screen values between 15% and 55%). Original artwork or negatives should not be submitted. Figures will be printed in the journal within a width of one or two columns and should be designed for a final width of one column (3.25" or 8.3 cm) or two columns (6.75" or 17.2 cm) and a height less than 9.25" or 23.5 cm. If possible, figures should be submitted at the size that they will appear in the journal; however, if figures are submitted larger than this in order to maximize resolution, they will be reduced to fit the column(s). Photographs should contain a scale bar so that dimensions can be identified after the figure's size is changed. The lettering within figures should be done using one font consistently throughout the paper and should have a size of approximately 9 points, when the figure is sized to fit into one or two columns. Recommended fonts are Helvetica or Times. Freehand, typewritten, or dot-matrix lettering is unacceptable. Figures should be labeled on the back with the first author's name, figure number, orientation (top), and the desired number of columns (one or two, see above) for the figure's width on the final printed page. Figures that do not conform to these guidelines may be returned to authors for revision, which will delay the manuscript.
Color figures will be printed at the author's expense: $1,150 for the first page (more than one figure can be placed on a page) and $575 for additional pages. The editorial office can waive the color fee for a limited number of pages, but only if color is essential to the article and funding is not available to the authors.
Equations should be simplified as much as possible and set in the manuscript exactly as they should appear in the paper. Special symbols and Greek letters should be identified in the margin.
Figure Captions:These should be typed double spaced beginning on a separate sheet of paper; they should not be included in the figures. Captions should begin with the reference to the figures used in the text, e.g. Figure 3, and should allow the figure to be understood without reference to the text. All symbols, arrows, scale bars, and conventions used in figures should be explained in the captions or on the figure itself.
Footnotes should not be used. Explanatory material should be incorporated into the text.
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
