About the journal

 

Cutis?/SPAN> is a 39-year-old, peer-reviewed clinical journal for the dermatologist, allergist, and general practitioner. The journal is published monthly and focuses on concise clinical articles that present the practical side of dermatology and are of interest to our readers. Referenced in Index Medicus/MEDLINE, it is respected and enjoyed by both specialists and derm-active generalists, enabling its readers to get what they need from it quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, Cutis is read by more physicians actively involved in the day-to-day treatment of dermatologic conditions than any other dermatology publication. The journal also offers CME in every issue. Covering a broad range of pertinent and timely topics, Cutis is written and edited by industry leaders.

 


Instructions to Authors

 

Once our manuscript status page is active, Cutis will contact the corresponding author to acknowledge receipt and provide the article's manuscript number. Authors must retain this 4-digit number to ascertain the status of their submission via our Manuscript Status page. Articles are reviewed by 2 reviewers from our Editorial Board, and a final decision is made by our Editor-in-Chief. Please allow approximately 8 weeks for a decision to be made.

Authors should submit their manuscripts on a PC-formatted computer disk, as well as in the form of 4 hard copies. No MAC discs will be accepted. Each article should list all authors and their titles and affiliations. Also, the computer disk should be labeled with the author's name.

Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter that includes the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail (if available) of the corresponding author. The corresponding author is responsible for all revisions and final approval of the proofs. Manuscripts should be submitted on
8 1/2 x 11-inch paper with margins of at least 1 1/2 inches. The abstract, introduction, case reports, comment, conclusion, references, figure legends, and tables should be clearly identified. Subheads should be included where needed.

A signed statement of financial disclosure signed by each author should accompany submissions:

"I certify that any affiliations with or financial involvement in any organization or entity with a direct financial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in the manuscript (eg, employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, expert testimony) is disclosed below. Any financial project support of this work is identified in an acknowledgment in the manuscript."

Authors also may submit manuscripts electronically. The manuscript should be attached to the e-mail as a Word document. All photographs should be attached as an Adobe Photoshop file with a minimum resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi) or a jpeg file with the highest possible dpi. Do not embed files into the Word document. Please be advised that electronic art work does not always reproduce well, and a slide or photograph is the preferred method for submission. Our art department may not be able to use your electronic submission if it appears poorly in print. All graphs should be saved in Illustrator 8 or 9 for MAC using CMYK colors. Authors should include a financial disclosure form with their submission. Electronic submissions should be e-mailed to melissa.steiger@qhc.com.

Please be sure that articles conform to the requirements outlined in our Information for Authors before submitting them via regular mail or e-mail.

Manuscript Checklist

  • Send 4 copies of the manuscript.
  • Send 4 copies of each illustration, with patient permissions.
  • Clearly label each photograph with the first author's name, and indicate the orientation.
  • Write a caption for each figure, and make sure that each is mentioned in the article.
  • Enclose a PC-formatted computer disk.
  • Provide a signed statement of financial disclosure from each author.
  • Include cover letter with contact information (address, telephone, fax, and e-mail) for the corresponding author.
  • Place all text in Times New Roman, 12 point, double spaced, left aligned, without bold.
  • Provide an unstructured abstract.
  • Make sure that each reference is cited in order in the text. Check each citation for accuracy, completeness, and conformity with AMA Style.
  • Format the article as specified.
  • Call out the meaning of all abbreviations and acronyms.


General Style and Formatting

All copy, including titles and headings, should be in Times New Roman font, 12 point, and left aligned. Nothing should be bold or centered. Nothing should be typed in all capital letters. The entire paper should be double spaced without page breaks between sections of the manuscript.

The first paragraph of the paper and the first paragraph under each subhead should be left aligned. Subsequent paragraphs should have the first line indented by one tab space. There should be no blank line between paragraphs.

Secondary subheads should be italicized and run-in to copy. For example:

Case Reports

Patient 1桸ote that "patient" is used as the identifier, not "case." When referring to patient 1 in text, use lowercase.

    Patient 2桾his header is italicized and indented one tab space.


Abbreviations and Acronyms

Do not use periods after abbreviations. This includes MD, PhD, etc. Terms may be abbreviated if they appear at least 3 times within the text. Abbreviated terms must be spelled out for the first use followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. For example:

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a chronic noninfective eruption of ulcers. PG is often associated with ulcerative colitis.

Write out the genus name the first time it is used in text and tables; italicize it if it is singular. After the first mention, abbreviate the genus name, except when the species is other than that given at first mention (eg, Proteus mirabilis at first mention, P mirabilis at subsequent mentions, and Proteus vulgaris at first mention, even though genus is the same).

Treat the abstract separately. If an abbreviation, acronym, or genus name is called out in the abstract, it also must be called out in the body text.

States should only be abbreviated using the postal code if you are using a zip code. States are abbreviated using the old postal codes in references when a city and state are needed with a publisher's name. In all other cases, states should be spelled out.


Numbers

Do not spell out a number unless it is the start of a sentence. Use arabic numbers and the percent symbol (%) for percentages, unless it starts a sentence. Use a comma in numbers of 5-digits or more (52,980) but not in 4-digit numbers (5621).

When a range of numbers is given in text, use "to" instead of a hyphen (eg, "20 to 25 mg").

Close up spaces around mathematical symbols (eg, 2+2=4; P>.05). Note that the P in P values is capitalized and italicized. Do not use a zero before the decimal point in P values.


Spelling

Use Webster's Dictionary for general terms, Physician's Desk Reference for trade names, and Stedman's Medical Dictionary for medical terms. Use the American spelling of terms (eg, hematology, not haematology).

If there are 2 or more accepted spellings of a word, Cutis uses the preferred spelling in Stedman's Medical Dictionary. Some preferred spellings include: acneform, comedos, interferon alfa, K鯾ner phenomenon, and Tzanck test.


Sections of the Manuscript

The order of an article's components should be Title, Author(s), Author affiliation(s), Financial Disclosure, Reprints, Abstract (unstructured), Text of Article, References, Tables, and Figure captions.


Titles

Titles should be no longer than 95 characters, including spaces. As outlined above, titles should be left-aligned in Times New Roman font, no bold, upper and lowercase letters.


Authors

Authors should each be listed with his/her highest academic degree.


Author Affiliations

Each author's affiliation should be listed in the following format:

"Dr. X is from . . . Dr. Y is from . . ."


Reprints

List "Reprints:" followed by the corresponding author's name, address, telephone, fax, and e-mail as a run-in list without line breaks. E-mail addresses are strongly preferred, especially for submissions from overseas.

In the reprints address, abbreviate the following: Avenue as Ave, Boulevard as Blvd, Building as Bldg, Drive as Dr, East as E, North as N, Parkway as Pkwy, Highway as Hwy, Post Office as PO, Road as Rd, Route as Rte, South as S, Street as St, and West as W. Note that no periods are used in these abbreviations.


Abstract

The abstract should be in an unstructured format (ie, do not list objective, methods, results, conclusion, etc.). Abstracts should not include any material that is referenced or needs to be referenced.

Regarding abbreviations and acronyms, treat the abstract separately. If an abbreviation, acronym, or genus name is called out in the abstract, it also must be called out in the body text. If it is called out in the text and appears in the abstract, the callout should be included in the abstract.


Text of Article

The introduction, case reports, comment, and conclusion should be clearly identified.


References

Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references. Authors should not use secondary references. If you are citing an article from 1960, you should reference the original article, not a secondary reference that discusses the 1960 article. References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. The following information should be included in the citation: names of ALL authors, complete title of article or book chapter cited, name of journal or book, year of publication, volume and issue numbers, and the first and last page numbers of the article or chapter. Note that the full page numbers are used (eg, 512-513, not 512-3). Please submit sufficient information to enable the reader to gain access to the material cited. The following are examples:

Books

1. Moschella SM, Pillsbury DM, Hurley HJ Jr, eds. Dermatology. Vol 1. Philadelphia, Pa: WB Saunders Co; 1975.

Book chapters

2. Ackerman AB. Development, morphology, and physiology. In: Moschella SM, Pillsbury DM, Hurley HJ Jr, eds. Dermatology. Vol 1. Philadelphia, Pa: WB Saunders Co; 1975:1-60.

Journal articles

3. Cather JC, Nelson BR, Duvic M. Malignant melanoma: clinical diagnostic techniques. Cutis. 1999;64:379-388.
NOTE: Journal names should be abbreviated per Index Medicus style. If you are unsure of the proper abbreviation, you can check the citation on PubMed at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed. Journals should be italicized and followed by a period.
Special department, feature, or column of a journal

4. Smith JC. Health effects of sanctions on Iraq [editorial]. Cutis. 1994;86:110.
NOTE: The department is listed in brackets after the title. Other examples would be an abstract or letter printed in a journal.

Web sites


6. Health on the Net Foundation. Health on the Net Foundation code of conduct for medical and health web sites. Available at: http://www.hon.ch/conduct.html. Accessed June 26, 1997.

Override the automatic numbering or footnote features in your word-processing software. Each reference number should be followed with a period and one space. Do not place a tab after the reference number. Do not separate references with a blank line space.

Confirm that all references are cited in the text in order. Reference numbers in text should be superscripted and appear after periods and commas but before colons and semicolons. Do not put reference numbers in parentheses.


Tables

Do not use abbreviations or acronyms in Tables unless they are called out in the caption. It does not matter if the callout has appeared in the text of the article. When any abbreviations are used in a table, place an asterisk at the end of the table title. The corresponding asterisk in the footnote of the table is used to call out the abbreviations. A footnote example would read: *F indicates female; M, male; PPD, purified protein derivative. The order of footnote symbols should be: *, ? ? ? ||, ? #, **(repeated), 唵 (repeated), etc. Footnote symbols appear after periods and commas but before colons and semicolons.

Each table should be called out in the text of the article. The style may be either of the following:

Table 1 lists the differential diagnoses.

There are many differential diagnoses (Table 1).

If a table lists references, please be sure that the reference numbers are in numeric order.

If a table is reprinted or adapted from another source, you must submit a permission letter from the other source, and credit the other source below your own table in the manuscript.


Figures and Figure Captions

Four sets of slides or prints are required. Each slide or print should have the author's name and be numbered to correspond with the accompanying caption. Clearly identify the orientation (top). Slide orientation should be marked as if you were holding the slide up to the light, NOT the orientation that the slide would go into a projector. Slides and prints are accepted in color and black and white. We will defray the cost of publishing 6 color photographs per article. If the author(s) wants more than 6 to appear in color, a nominal fee will be charged for the additional prints.

When a slide or print is submitted of a face or identifiable body part, authors must submit written permission from the identifiable subject or a legally authorized representative, even if the eyes are blacked out.

When a photograph is a histologic photograph, provide the stain and magnification used. For example: (H&E, original magnification x40).

Each figure should be called out in the text of the article. Do not abbreviate "Figure." The style may be either of the following:

Figure 1 shows the clinical appearance of tinea pedis.

The clinical appearance of tinea pedis is distinct (Figure 1).


Editing

Accepted manuscripts are copyedited to bring them into conformity with Cutis style. Edited galley proofs will be sent to the corresponding author prior to publication. Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work, including changes made by a copy editor and authorized by the corresponding author.


Reprints

Authors may request order forms for reprints, which are available at a nominal cost.
