Each component should begin on a new page. Number the pages starting with the title page. The full name and address of the author responsible for correspondence should appear at the end of the list of references.

Results: Describe briefly the results with confidence intervals and statistical significance.
Conclusions: Indicate the most important conclusions.
These headings should be included in the abstract.
Style Guidelines
For guidance regarding grammar, punctuation, and scientific writing see the American Medical Association Manual of Style, 9th edition, Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins; 1998. Avoid using acronyms and abbreviations except for tests or procedures better known by their abbreviation than by the full term, such as VDRL. Abbreviate units of measurement only when they appear with numerals (" . . . measured in centimeters," but "87 cm"). Abbreviations may be used in figures and tables, but such abbreviations must be explained in the figure legend or a footnote to the table. Authors must express all measurements in Systeme International (SI) units, but may include these in parentheses after older conventional units if they desire. Use the degree Celsius for temperatures. Other exceptions are drug dosages, which should be expressed in metric mass units; blood pressure, which should be expressed as mm Hg; blood gas tensions, which should be expressed as mm Hg; and pH. Serum theophylline concentrations should be expressed as both mg/L and (in parentheses) µmol/L. Conversion equations should be supplied as footnotes to tables and should be included in legends to figures. Conversion tables are available in the American Medical Association Manual of Style, 9th edition, Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins; 1998.
Use generic names for drugs except when a specific trade preparation was used in a study or involved in an adverse reaction or when unique properties of the proprietary drug require its identification.
References
Number references in the order in which they are first cited in the text. Follow the reference style of the National Library of Medicine. Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. List all authors when four or fewer. When more than four, list the first three and add et al.
Journal article:
Adams PC, Brown HL, Chang HC, et al. Management of anaphylaxis. Ann Allergy 1990;64:127-131.
Chapter in book:
Storm BC. Asthma. In: Thompson VC, Olson O, eds. Pulmonary pathophysiology. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 1990:27-42.
Try to avoid using abstracts as references. Unpublished observations, including personal communications, may not be used as references except for written communications, which may be referenced within parentheses in the text with the permission of the cited person. Articles or books accepted for publication but not yet published may be included as references with the name of the journal or publisher and the addition of (in press).
Tables
Each table should be typewritten with double spacing on a separate page and numbered in order of citation in the text with arabic numerals. Each table should have a concise heading that makes it comprehensible without reference to the text of the article. Use horizontal lines only at the top and bottom of the table and between column headings and the body of the table. Use no vertical lines. Explain any nonstandard abbreviations in a footnote to the table.
Figures
Figures should be professionally drawn and photographed and supplied as glossy, 127 × 173 mm (5 × 7 inch) prints. Paste a label on the back of the print to indicate name of the author, title of the article, number of the figure, and top of the figure. Number figures in their order of citation in the text with arabic numerals. Do not write on the back of the figure or mount it on cardboard. Photographs of any identifiable people must be accompanied by written permission for their use. For further guidance in preparation of tables and figures, see Sly RM. How to present data for publication. Ann Allergy 1993;70:343-346.
Authorship
List as authors only those who meet all three of the following criteria:
(1) conception and design of the study or analysis and interpretation of the data
(2) preparation or critical revision of the manuscript
(3) approval of the final version of the manuscript
Authors may add on the title page a footnote to explain the order of authorship and the specific contribution of each author. Assistance of other participants in a study may be indicated as an acknowledgment if the authors have written permission from each person listed in the acknowledgment.
Upon request, the authors should provide the data on which the manuscript is based for examination by the editor or reviewers assigned by the editor. Authors are responsible for all statements, opinions, conclusions, and methods of presenting their data in articles submitted to the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology for possible publication. The views of authors as presented in their articles do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology editorial staff or the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology.
Copyright
All authors, except U.S. government employees whose work was done as a part of their official duties, must sign a transmittal letter that accompanies the manuscript and contains the following statement: "In consideration of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology reviewing and editing my (our) manuscript, the author(s) herewith transfers, assigns, or otherwise conveys all copyright ownership (print and all forms of digital formats) to the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology if and when it is published by the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology."
Informed Consent
When reporting experiments on human subjects indicate whether informed consent was obtained and submit a copy of the minutes or letter of approval of the committee on human experimentation that reviewed and approved the investigation.
Manuscripts on Disk
We require disk submission of the FINAL, accepted version of a manuscript and request that the disk be sent within 1 week of acceptance.
To prepare the disk for submission to the Editorial Office:
- Use a 3.5 inch virus-free disk
- Fill out the "Electronic Editing" form sent to the corresponding author by the Editorial Office. After completion, return the "Electronic Editing" form with the disk to the Editorial Office. This form must accompany each disk.
