Instructions to Authors
The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery accepts original articles, editorial correspondence, case reports and notices. Suggestions for review articles are welcomed, although should be made in advance.
These instructions are in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. Br Med J 1998: 296: 401-405.
Papers should be set out as follows, with each section beginning on a separate sheet: title page, summary, text, acknowledgements, references, tables, captions to illustrations.
Summary. This should consist of not more than 150 words summarising the contents of the article.
Text. Headings should be appropriate to the nature of the paper. In general those for experimental papers should follow the usual conventions. Other papers can be subdivided as the author desires: the use of headings enhances readability. Normally, only two categories of headings should be used: major ones should be typed in capital letters in the centre of the page and underlined; minor ones should be typed in lower case (with an initial capital letter) at the left hand margin and underlined.
Do not use 'he', 'his', etc. where the sex of the person is unknown; say 'the patient' etc. Avoid inelegant alternatives as 'he/she'. Patients should not be automatically designated as 'she' and doctors as 'he'.
A paper is accepted for publication on the understanding that it has not been submitted simultaneously to another journal in the English language.
Rejected papers will not be returned to authors except on request.
Typescripts that contain the results of human and/or animal studies will only be accepted for publication if it is made clear that a high standard of ethics was applied in carrying out the investigations. In the case of invasive studies of humans, typescripts should include a statement that the research protocol was approved by a local ethical committee.
The Editor reserves the right to make editorial and literary corrections. Any opinions expressed or policies advocated do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of the Editor.
Papers should be submitted in journal style. Failure to do so may lead to significant delays in publication. Spelling may be British or American. Paper should be typed in double spacing throughout on good, white A4 paper with a margin of at least 3 cm all round. Type only on one side of the paper. Three copies of the typescript and illustrations should be submitted and the authors should retain a copy for reference. An electronic copy must also be supplied on disc (pc format).
Authors are requested to submit three copies of their typescript and illustrations. Additionally, an electronic version should also be provided containing both the manuscript text and digitised illustrations, either by email or on disc (floppy or CD Rom).
The Editor cannot accept responsibility for damage to or loss of material or disks.
Title page. The title page should give the following information:1) title of the article; 2) initial and name of each author, with the highest academic degree(s); 3) name and address of the department or institution to which the work should be attributed; 4) name, address, telephone and fax number of the author responsible for correspondence and to whom requests for offprints should be sent and 5) sources of support in the form of grants.
The accuracy of references is the responsibility of the author. References should be entered consecutively by Arabic numerals in parentheses in the text. The reference list should be listed in numerical order on a separate sheet in double or triple spacing. References to journals should include the author's name and initials (list all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first three and add et al.), full title of the paper, journal's title abbreviated, using Index Medicus abbreviations, year of publication, volume number, first and last page numbers.
For example: Kleinberg DL, Noll GL, Frantz AG. Galactorrhoea: a study of 235 cases, including 48 with pituitary tumours. N Engl J Med 1977: 296: 589-600.
References to books should be set out as follows: Haagenson CD. Disease of the Breast. 3rd ed. Philadelphia. W B Saunders, 1986: 173.
When citing a Churchill Livingstone journal, include the digital object identifier (DOI), if noted, from the article's title page. Please note the following example:
Joos U, Kleinheinz J: Reconstruction of the severely resorbed (class VI) jaws: routing or exception? J Craniomaxillofac Surg 28: 1-4, 2000. doi:10.1054/jcms.2000.0102
Line illustrations. All line illustrations should present a crisp black image on an even white background (127 x 173 mm (5 x 7 in), or no larger than 203 x 254 mm(8 x 10 in)).
Photographic illustrations and radiographs. These should be submitted as clear, highly contrasted black and white prints (unmounted), sizes as above. Photomicrographs should have the magnification and details of staining techniques shown. X-ray film should be submitted as photographic prints, carefully made to bring out the detail to be illustrated, with an overlay indicating the area of importance. Figures should be submitted appropriately lettered in capitals. The size of the letters should be appropriate to that of the illustration, taking into account the necessary size reduction.
All illustrations should be clearly marked (by a label pasted on the back or by a soft crayon) with the figure number and author's name and the top of the figure should be illustrated with an arrow. Never use ink of any kind. Never use paperclips as these can scratch or mark illustrations. Captions should be typed, double space, on separate sheets from the main text.
Patient confidentiality. Where illustrations must include recognizable individuals, living or dead and of whatever age, great care must be taken to ensure that consent for publication has been given.
If identifiable features are not essential to the illustration, please indicate where the illustration can be cropped.
In cases where consent has not been obtained and recognisable features may appear, it will be necessary to retouch the illustration to mask the eyes or otherwise render the individual 'officially unrecognisable'.
Tables should be double spaced on seperate sheets and contain only horizontal rules. Do not submit tables as photographs. A short descriptive title should appear above each table and any footnotes, suitably identified, below. Care must be taken to ensure that all units are included.
Ensure that each table is cited in the text.
Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. All unusual abbreviations should be fully explained at their first occurrence in the text. All measurements should be expressed in SI units. Imperial units are acceptable from USA contributors. For more detailed recommendations, authors may consult the Royal Society of Medicine publication entitled Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors.
In order for us to ensure maximum dissemination and copyright protection of material published in the Journal, copyright must be explicitly transferred from author to the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
The copyright transfer agreement will be sent to you by the Editor with your proofs. A copy of this agreement must be signed by the principal author before any paper can be published. We assure you that no limitation will be put on your personal freedom to use material contained in the paper without requesting permission, provided acknowledgement is made to the journal as the original source of publication.
Proprietary names of drugs, instruments etc. should be indicated by the use of initial capital letters.
Permission to reproduce borrowed illustrations or tables or identifiable photographs. Written permission to reproduce borrowed material (illustrations and tables) must be obtained from the original publishers and authors, and submitted with the typescript. Borrowed material should be acknowledged in the captions in this style: 'Reproduced by the kind permission of ... (publishers) from ... (reference)'.
Page proofs are sent to the author for checking by email in a portable document format (pdf). The proofs, with any minor corrections, must be returned by fax or post to the Editor within 48 hours of receipt. All typescripts undergo some editorial modification, so it is important to read your proofs carefully.
Twenty-five free offprints are supplied to the author to whom offprints requests are made. Authors may purchase additional offprints if required. An offprint order form will be sent to the author with the page proofs.
Digital Object Identifier: Churchill Livingstone assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Due to its persistence, it can be used to query Churchill Livingstone for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various Web sites, including IDEAL, and to cite the article in academic references. When using a Churchill Livingstone article in a reference section, it is important to include the article's DOI in the reference as volume and page information is not always available for articles published online. The References section, below, shows samples of DOI included in references. Further information may be found at http://www.academicpress.com/doi.
