Instructions to Authors
Types of contribution
The journal features: original contributions, tutorials, comments and discussions, reviews and bibliographies, current literature and events, medically relevant AI, software and hardware news, and letters to the Editor.
Submission of manuscripts
Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of the article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Papers for consideration should be submitted to the Editor.
Electronic manuscripts
Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs.
For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hardcopies are sufficient. For the processing of accepted papers, electronic versions are preferred. After final acceptance, your disk plus one, final and exactly matching printed version should be submitted together. Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes (3?or 5?inch) are acceptable. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the wordprocessor program used. Label the disk with the name of the computer and wordprocessing package used, your name, and the name of the file on the disk. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.
Preparation of manuscripts
1. Manuscripts should be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked by an English-speaking colleague prior to submission.
2. Submit the original and two copies of your manuscript. Enclose the original illustrations and two sets of photocopies (three prints of any photographs).
3. Manuscripts should be typewritten, typed on one side of the paper (with numbered lines), with wide margins and double spacing throughout, i.e. also for abstracts, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Underline words that should be in italics, and do not underline any other words. Avoid excessive usage of italics to emphasize part of the text.
4. Manuscripts in general should be organized in the following order:
- Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long)
- Name(s) of author(s)
- Complete postal address(es) of affiliations
- Full telephone number, fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author
- Present address(es) of author(s) if applicable
- Complete correspondence address to which the proofs should be sent
- Abstract
- Key words (indexing terms), normally 3-6 items
- Introduction
- Material studied, methods, techniques
- Results
- Discussion
- Conclusion
- Acknowledgements and any additional information concerning research grants, etc.
- References
- Tables
- Figure captions
5. In typing the manuscript, titles and subtitles should not be run within the text. They should be typed on a separate line, without indentation. Use lower-case lettertype.
6. SI units should be used.
7. If a special instruction to the copy editor or typesetter is written on the copy it should be encircled. The typesetter will then know that the enclosed matter is not to be set in type. When a typewritten character may have more than one meaning (e.g. the lower case letter l may be confused with the numeral 1), a note should be inserted in a circle in the margin to make the meaning clear to the typesetter. If Greek letters or uncommon symbols are used in the manuscript, they should be written very clearly, and if necessary a note such as "Greek lower-case chi" should be put in the margin and encircled.
8. Elsevier reserves the privilege of returning to the author for revision accepted manuscripts and illustrations which are not in the proper form given in this guide.
Authors in Japan please note: Upon request, Elsevier Science Japan will provide authors with a list of people who can check and improve the English of their paper (before submission). Please contact our Tokyo office: Elsevier Science Japan, 9-15, Higashi-Azabu 1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0044; Japan; Tel. (+81) 3-5561-5032; Fax: (+81)3-5561-5045; E-mail: info@elsevier.co.jp.
Abstracts
The abstract should be clear, descriptive and not longer than 400 words. It should provide a very brief introduction to the problem and a statement about the methods used in the study. This should generally be followed by a brief summary of results, including numerical data (means and standard errors, for example). The abstract should end with an indication of the significance of the results.
Tables
1. Authors should take notice of the limitations set by the size and lay-out of the journal. Large tables should be avoided. Reversing columns and rows will often reduce the dimensions of a table.
2. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two or more tables.
3. Drawn tables, from which prints need to be made, should not be folded.
4. Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all tables.
5. Each table should be typewritten on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
6. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
7. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
8. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.
9.Any explanation essential to the understanding of the table should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
Illustrations
1. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) should be submitted separately, unmounted and not folded.
2. Illustrations should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. References should be made in the text to each illustration.
3. Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or - in the case of line drawings -on the lower front side) by its number and the name of the author. An indication of the top of the illustrations is required in any cases where doubt can arise.
4. Illustrations should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. Illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50%.
5. Lettering should be in Indian ink or by printed labels. Make sure that the size of the lettering is big enough to allow a reduction of 50% without becoming illegible. The lettering should be in English. Use the same kind of lettering throughout and follow the style of the journal.
6. If a scale should be given, use bar scales on all illustrations instead of numerical scales that must be changed with reduction.
7. Each illustration should have a caption. The captions to all illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
8. Explanations should be given in the typewritten legend. Drawn text in the illustrations should be kept to a minimum.
9.Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity. Sharp and glossy copies are required. Reproductions of photographs already printed cannot be accepted.
10. Colour illustrations cannot usually be included, unless the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
References
1. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list references following the text of the manuscript.
2. References must be numbered alphabetically.In the text they should be referred to by bracketed numbers. The list of references must be typed on separate sheets, in the same format as the main text, and ordered consecutively, according to the following models:
For a paper in a collection:
[1] L.A. Zadeh, Is probability theory sufficient for dealing with uncertainty in AI: a negative view, in: L.N. Kanal and LF. Lemmer, eds., Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1986)103-116.
For a book:
[2] R. Kowalski, Logic for Problem Solving (North-Holland, New York, 1979).
For a journal article:
[3]D.E. Heckerman and E.H. Shortliffe, From certainty factors to belief networks, Artificial Intelligence in Med. 4 (1992) 35-52.
For an unpublished paper:
[4] S.E. Fahlman, A system for representing and using real-world knowledge, MIT Technical Report AI-TR 450, Cambridge, NIA, 1977.
3. Abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of references according to the International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations.
4. In the case of publications in any language other than English,the original title is to be retained. However, the titles of publications in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as "(in Russian)" or "(in Greek, with English abstract)" should be added.
5. Work accepted for publication but not yet published should be referred to as "in press".
6. References concerning unpublished data and "personal communications" should not be cited in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text.
Formulae
1. Formulae should be typewritten, if possible. Leave ample space around the formulae.
2. Subscripts and superscripts should be clear.
3. Greek letters and other non-Latin or handwritten symbols should be explained in the margin where they are first used. Take special care to show clearly the difference between zero (0) and the letter O, and between one (1) and the letter l.
4. All mathematical symbols which are not typewritten should be listed separately.
5. Give the meaning of all symbols immediately after the equation in which they are first used.
6. For simple fractions use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line, e.g.Ip/2m rather than Ip over 2m.
7. Equations should be numbered serially at the right-hand side in parentheses. In general only equations explicitly referred to in the text need be numbered.
8. The use of fractional powers instead of root signs is recommended. Also powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp.
9. Levels of statistical significance which can be mentioned without further explanation are *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P <0.001.
10. In chemical formulae, valence of ions should be given as, e.g. Ca2+ and CO32−, not as Ca++ or CO3−−.
11. Isotope numbers should precede the symbols, e.g. 18O.
Footnotes
1. Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it should be possible to incorporate the information in normal text.
2. If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as short as possible.
Copyright
1. An author, when quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing an illustration or table from a book or journal article, should make sure that he is not infringing a copyright.
2. Although in general an author may quote from other published works, he should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if he wishes to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates, or other illustrations. If the copyright-holder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought.
3. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained.
4. A suitable acknowledgment of any borrowed material must always be made.
Proofs
One set of proofs will be sent to the corresponding author as given on the title page of the manuscript. Only typesetter's errors may be corrected; no changes in, or additions to, the edited manuscript will be allowed.
Offprints
1. Fifty offprints will be supplied free of charge.
2. Additional offprints can be ordered on an offprints order form, which is included with the proofs.
3. UNESCO coupons are acceptable in payment of extra offprints.
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine carries no page charges
