About the journal
Acta Medica Okayama was first published in 1928 as Arbeiten aus der Medizinischen Universitat zu Okayama. In 1952 (Volume 8) the journal was renamed Acta Medicinae Okayama and published quarterly. Bimonthly publication began in 1959 (Volume 15). The present name was adopted in 1973 (Volume 27).
Instructions to Authors
Acta Medica Okayama publishes papers relating to all areas of basic and clinical medicine. Papers may be submitted by those not affiliated with Okayama University. Onlyoriginal papers and timely review articles should be submitted for publication. Original papers which have not been published or submitted elsewhere and timely review articles should be submitted. Case reports are not encouraged and are only considered if justified by their unique significance. Papers may be full length articles or brief notes. Prior consultation with the editor is recommended before preparing or submitting review articles. The original and two copies of the manuscript should be submitted. Responsibility lies entirely with the author for all statements contained in the paper, including bibliographic references. Manuscripts must be in English. For any investigation involving human subjects, informed consent must be obtained from the subject(s) and/or their guardian(s) and this must be clearly stated in the paper.
FORM OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts should be typewritten with double spacing and wide margins on good quality typing paper. American spelling is to be used and all pages must be numbered consecutively starting with the title page. The first page (title page) should include the title, the names of the author(s), the institution where the study was conducted, and a running title of less than 40 letters and spaces. All authors should be listed by full name. The affiliation of each author should be specified. The corresponding author's complete address should be written, including telephone and fax numbers and, if possible, an e-mail address for the purposes of correspondence. The names of Japanese authors should be written in both English and Japanese. The second page should contain an abstract of no more than 200 words for full-length articles or 100 words for brief notes, and a list of no more than five unabbreviated key words. The Introduction begins on page 3.丂Following this, the standard format of full-length article is: Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, Legends to Figures, and Figures. For brief notes, subdivisions into Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion may be omitted. Manuscripts in this category should be italicized (e.g., in vitro, in vivo, i.e., per se, etc.). For reference, see the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual(American Institute of Biological Sciences, 3900 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington D.C. 20016).
ABBREVIATIONS
The following abbreviations should be used: l, ml, 兪l丄kg丄g, mg, 兪g, ng, m, cm, mm, 兪m, nm, h, min, sec, msec, M, mM, and 亷. Other ambiguous abbreviations should appear in parentheses immediately after their first mention and may be used alone thereafter in the text.
TABLES
Tables should be used efficiently, i.e., only when the data cannot be presented clearly in the text. For aid in designing tables in an acceptable style, consult recent issues of Acta Medica Okayama. Each table should be typed on a separate page with a suitable caption at the top and legend at the bottom. The caption and legend should be written so that they are comprehensible without reference to the text. Cite all tables in the text and number them in order of appearance.
FIGURES
Three complete sets of figures must be submitted. Authors should bear in mind the page size of Acta Medica Okayama (82 mm in width for a single column and 170 mm in width for double columns). Original figures should be no larger than 170 X 213 mm in order to fit into the size of the text columns. Photographs should be glossy and as high in contrast as possible. Full-size figures, properly laid out and in no need of reduction, are ideal and save valuable editorial and layout time. For a reference, see recent issues of Acta Medica Okayama. Color illustrations are not acceptable unless the author is prepared to cover all costs involved in color reproduction. Figure legends should be written as concisely as possible while ensuring that they are comprehensible without reference to the text. All figures should be cited in the text and numbered in order of their appearance. The figure number, the author's name and "top" should be indicated in pencil on the back or margin of each illustration. The legends for figures should be typed on a separate page.
REFERENCES
All literature cited in the text, included table and figure legends, should be identified by number written in parentheses in order of appearance. References should be listed in numerical order at the end of the manuscript under the heading "References" and should be typed with double spacing throughout. Citation of references written in a language not commonly understood or contained in obscure journals or books should be avoided. Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the Serial Sources for the Biosis Data Base (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). The full title of the article and the name of all authors as well as the first and last page numbers should be given. Examples of citation style are as follows:
1. van Holde KE, Lohr DE and Robert C: What happens to nucleosomes during transcription? J Biol Chem (1992) 267, 2837-2840.
2. Hara Y and Wakasugi H: Intestinal absorption of iron chelates. Igaku to Seibutsugaku (1973) 86, 93-98 (in Japanese).
