About the journal
Statistical Methods in Medical Research is the leading vehicle for review articles in all the main areas of medical statistics and is an essential reference for all medical statisticians. It is particularly useful for medical researchers dealing with data and provides a key resource for medical and statistical libraries, as well as pharmaceutical companies.
This unique journal is devoted solely to statistics and medicine and aims to keep professionals abreast of the many powerful statistical techniques now available to the medical profession. As techniques are constantly adopted by statisticians working both inside and outside the medical environment, this review journal aims to satisfy the increasing demand for accurate and up-to-the-minute information.
Instructions to Authors
Beginning this year, Statistical Methods in Medical Research has increased in frequency to six issues per year.
The two new issues will be made up of review papers covering a wide variety of subjects. The other four issues will continue, as in the past eight years, to contain four to five reviews relating to a single overall topic.
We are inviting submissions of review papers on any relevant topic. These papers will be fully peer reviewed but a speedy refereeing process is assured.
Please submit your paper to Professor Brian S Everittat the address below. Information for authors is available at the back of every issue and on this web page:

All material submitted for publication is assumed to be exclusively for Statistical Methods in Medical Research, and not to have been submitted for publication elsewhere. All authors must assign copyright to Arnold (by completing the copyright assignment form).
Priority and time of publication are decided by the editors, who maintain the customary right to edit material accepted for publication if necessary.
Aims of the journal. The aim of the journal is to provide up to date reviews of the way particular statistical techniques are (and could be) employed within medical research. Ideally each review should include several examples of how the techniques have been used (and, if appropriate, misused), and these should be used to motivate further discussion. A straightforward description of current research, with a number of relatively 'nominal' examples tacked on should be avoided. The technical level of the paper should be similar to that in a journal such as Statistics in Medicine, and any very technical material should be relegated to an appendix.
The following papers, which have appeared in previous issues, might be taken as good examples of what the journal is aiming for:
Joliffe IT, Morgan BJT. 1992; 1: 69-95.
Dunn G. 1992; 1: 123-57. (Although this paper is rather longer than would normally be acceptable.)
Please take the time to read the following information carefully and share it with your typist if necessary. It will ensure that your paper is produced quickly and effectively.
Manuscripts. Two copies of the manuscript and photostats of the illustrations should be submitted to the relevant editor, with the original copy and the originals of all the illustrations submitted to SMMR Editorial Office at Arnold Journals, 338 Euston Road, London, NW1 3BH.
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced on one side of the sheet only. Margins should be at least 40mm on the left-hand side and 10mm on the right-hand side of the sheet.
Authors should include their name and initials, their posts at the time they wrote the review, their current appointments, and their address for correspondence with telephone/fax/email numbers. For papers with several contributors, the order of authorship should be made clear and the 'responsible author' (to whom proofs and offprints will be sent) named.
Papers should be around 8000 words or 20-25 pages of A4 or 8?x 11" paper in length. In order to keep each issue to a reasonable extent, this length should not be exceeded if possible. Any diagrams or tables should be counted as equivalent to around 200 words or half a page of text. One of the editors should be informed if this is likely to be a problem.
An abstract of up to 200 words should precede the text. Any acknowledgements will be printed at the end of the text.
Article presentation. Your paper should be submitted in double-spaced typescript and on disk.
Please ensure that your disk matches the final version of your paper - as approved by the Editor.
The disk. Microsoft Word is the preferred word processor, but files can be accepted from any of the common Macintosh, Windows or MS-DOS word processing programs. RTF or ASCII files can also be accepted. No artwork should be included in the text files. Any artwork provided on disk should be in either TIFF, or EPS format. Each piece of artwork should be saved as a separate file. When preparing your paper:
?Use the minimum formatting.
?Roman, bold and italic type can be used, but use only one typeface and size.
?Capitals should be used only where they are to appear in the finished text.
?The text should be ranged left and unjustified, with hyphenation cancelled.
?Indents, underlining and tabs should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
?Headings and paragraphs should be separated by two carriage returns.
?There should be only one space between words and only one space after any punctuation.
Style
General:
Abbreviations should be spelled out when first used in the text. Full stops should be used in lower case abbreviations (e.g., i.e.) but not for capitals (SAS, ANOVA). Spelling to follow the Oxford Dictionary.
Mathematical:
Any special mathematical symbols, including greek characters should be identified in the margin.
All vectors and matrices should be shown in bold type.
It is sometimes very difficult to distinguish bold, roman and italic symbols. If there might be any confusion, the letter or symbol concerned should be circled in pencil and identified in the margin.
Particular attention should be paid to subscripts and superscripts (and especially sub-subscripts etc.) so that they are explicitly detailed.
Numbers below 10 should be written out in the text unless used in conjunction with units (e.g. three apples, 4 kg).
Full points (not commas) should be used for decimals. For numbers less than one, a nought should be inserted before the decimal point . Use spaces (not commas) within numbers (e.g. 10 000, 0.125 275).
Subheadings:
Subheadings should be typed on separate lines and marked in the margin A, B, C etc to indicate their progressive order of importance. The use of more than three levels of heading should be avoided.
Tables and illustrations. These should be submitted separate from the text. Line drawings should be black and white. The figure title should be supplied on a separate sheet. All figures should be marked 'TOP' on the reverse with a soft pencil along with the author's name. Figures should ideally be drawn for a reduction of one third i.e. 3:2 or 150:100 mm.
References. The Vancouver style* should be followed for references which should be numbered in order of appearance in the text, marked by superscript numbers after the key phrases. The references are then listed in full at the end of the article in numerical order.
* International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. JAMA 1993; 269: 2282-86.
Journal article:
Cleveland WS. Graphs in scientific publications. The American Statistician 1984; 38: 361-69.
Journal titles should be stated in full. List surnames and initials of up to and including six authors (with more than six authors only give the first three then `et al?).

Permissions. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain written consent from the original publisher and author(s) to use any material published previously elsewhere. Please forward all correspondence to Arnold with your manuscript.
Offprints. The principal author only will be supplied with 25 offprints of his/her article. Additional offprints can be ordered at page proof stage.
