Instructions to Authors
Submission
Please use the DMFR Editorial Office website to upload your manuscript and any figures.
Figures must be submitted in a format suitable for e-mail review and publication. Files must be provided as JPEG, TIFF or PNG of approximately 300 KB OR SMALLER size for review purposes. If your manuscript relies heavily on high quality images, you may e-mail the figures in a high quality format of larger file size to the Editorial Staff as JPEG or Photoshop files.
When submitting multiple files, after the first upload has been completed and your browser lists the file uploaded, use your browser’s “back” button to return to the upload page. Your information should still be in the form; if not, enter it again being careful to type it exactly as you did originally. Use the “browse” button to locate any additional files and upload them as well, one at a time. Repeat this as necessary to finish your submission. It may be convenient to compress the files together into a zip archive of appropriate size, and submit in one go.
If you have any problems with the submission form, please e-mail the Editorial Office providing details of the error and of your Internet browser.
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright to the publisher, The British Institute of Radiology. It is also the author’s responsibility to obtain permission to include any previously published material.
Please also provide a short covering letter, signed by all authors, and state that it is an original manuscript that has not previously been published either in all or in part, including the illustrations, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere and that the final version has been read and approved by all the authors. All correspondence requiring signatures must be sent by regular mail, not electronically, and should include the telephone, fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author.
Teeth should be designated in the text using the full English terminology. In tables and figures individual teeth can be identified using the FDI two-digit system i.e. tooth 13 is the first permanent canine in the right maxilla region.
Format
1 Title page
This should bear the title of the paper, the full names of the authors and their affiliations, together with the name, full postal address, telephone and fax number and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence and reprint requests are to be sent. There should be a running title of not more than 25 letters and spaces.
2 Abstract
This should not exceed 250 words and should be provided on a separate sheet. This abstract should be constructed under the following subheadings: Objectives; Methods; Results; Conclusions. These subheadings should appear in the text of the abstract. Beneath the abstract please select up to 4 keywords from the current Medical Subject Headings (MESH) found at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/meshbrowser.cgi
3 Introduction
This should assume that the reader is knowledgeable in the field and should therefore be as brief as possible. Generally three paragraphs only are needed. The first provides an overview of the subject area with approximately 10 references maximum. (Unless the paper is a review of a topic, authors should avoid an unnecessary review of the literature, as the paper will be returned for reduction of the text). The second paragraph should describe what is not known about the area of interest or a specific problem of clinical/scientific interest. The third paragraph briefly states the aims of the paper. Please do not use footnotes in any section of text portion of the manuscript.
4 Materials and methods
Methods that have been published in detail elsewhere should not be described in detail. SI units should be used throughout the text (Grays, Sieverts not RADs and REMs). Any equipment or software mentioned should specify the product/model number, the manufacturer and their location (city, state and country). An appendix may be used for mathematical formulae or method details of interest to readers with specialist knowledge of the area.
5 Informed consent
Manuscripts reporting the results of experimental studies on human subjects must include a statement in the Materials and Methods that informed consent and ethical approval has been obtained.
6 Results
These should be presented succinctly in the same order as the experiments are described in the Materials and Methods. Tables and especially graphics are encouraged for quantitative information. Do not discuss the results in this section.
7 Discussion
This should comment critically on the findings from the results obtained, their relationship to existing knowledge and their significance for improved understanding of oral and maxillofacial radiology. Speculation and new hypotheses are encouraged, provided they are firmly rooted in the data presented. The last paragraph of the discussion should begin “In conclusion,” and then the conclusions should be drawn. There is no separate conclusions heading or section.
8 Acknowledgements
These should be brief and should indicate any potential conflicts of interest and sources of financial support.
9 References
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references cited. Only papers closely related to the authors’ work should be quoted. Exhaustive lists should be avoided. References should follow the Vancouver format. In the text they should appear in numerical order as superscript numbers starting at 1. The superscript numbers are placed AFTER the full point. At the end of the paper they should be listed (double-spaced) in numerical order corresponding to the order of citation in the text. A reference cited in a table or figure caption counts as being cited where the table or figure is first mentioned in the text. If there are 6 or fewer authors, list them all; if there are 7 or more, list the first 6 followed by et al. Abbreviations for titles of medical periodicals should conform to those used in the latest edition of Index Medicus. The first and last page numbers for each reference should be provided. Abstracts and letters must be identified as such. Papers in press may be included in the list of references. Papers submitted for publication and papers presented at meetings should NOT be included as references; nor should abstracts of papers presented at meetings not in the public domain. These should be cited as a personal communication in the text.
10 Tables
Number tables consecutively with an Arabic numeral. Each table should have a separate caption or title. Methods not described in the text and any abbreviations should be explained at the foot of the table. Tables should be referred to specifically in the text of the paper. Tables are to include NO vertical rules and are to be submitted as editable text.
11 Figures
Number figures consecutively using Arabic numerals. Each figure should have a detailed legend listed on a separate sheet of paper with the heading Figure Legends. Figures should be referred to specifically in the text. Labelling of artwork should be Arial 8 point font. Ideally, figure sizes should be 84 mm wide, 175 mm wide or the intermediate width of 130 mm. Please submit figures with 300dpi resolution and printable width being 84, 130 or 175mm wide.
11.1 Points to note:
· Do not put a box around graphs, diagrams or other artwork
· Avoid background grid lines unless these are essential (e.g. confidence limits)
· A coarse pattern such as hatching should be used (shading is liable to break up on the printed copy)
· Keys to symbols should be given underneath the figure itself and not in the legend
· Lines in all graphs (including axes), diagrams and other artwork should be 1 point in weight
· Label axes clearly in Arial 8 point font and include all units of measurement. Centre the label along the axis and align the direction of the text with the axis
· Do not use three-dimensional histograms when the addition of a third dimension gives no further information
Submit radiographic images trimmed so as to show no more than is necessary to illustrate the points made by the author, at the same time retaining sufficient anatomical landmarks. Where radiographs, particularly panoramic radiographs, are difficult to reproduce adequately, the author should consider digital enhancement (for an example see Dentomaxillofac Radiol (1999); 28, 348-350). The legend should state that the radiograph has been digitally enhanced. Patient identification must be obscured and side marks and transfer arrows applied to point out a particular feature where necessary. Patient's consent must be obtained in writing if photographs are to be reproduced.
11.2 Image files
· Image files should be supplied in TIFF or JPEG format.
· TIFF is preferred for halftones, i.e. medical images such as radiographs, MR scans etc.
· For JPEG files, it is essential to save at maximum quality, i.e. “10”, to ensure that quality is satisfactory when the files are eventually decompressed.
· Do not supply PowerPoint files as these may be problematic with respect to quality rendering.
· Do not supply GIF files—GIF is a compressed format that can cause quality problems when printed.
· Save each figure as a separate file named “Figure 1”, “Figure 2” etc.
11.3 Colour
· Unless essential to the content of the article, all illustrations should be supplied in black and white, with no colour (RGB, CMYK or Pantone references) contained within them.
· Images that do need to be reproduced in colour should be saved in CMYK, with no RGB or Pantone references contained within them.
· The cost of reproduction of colour images will be charged to the author at the following rates: £300 for one colour image, £500 for two colour images and £100 for each subsequent additional colour image.
11.4 Resolution
Files should be saved at the appropriate dpi (dots per inch) for the type of graphic (the typical screen value of 72 dpi will not yield satisfactory printed results):
· Line drawings—save at 800 dpi (or 1200 dpi for fine line work)
· Halftone and colour work—save at 300 dpi
11.5 Composition
· The image should be cropped to show just the relevant area, and the amount of white space around the illustration should be kept to a minimum. All annotations (e.g. arrows) should be included within the images supplied.
11.6 Additional points
· Fonts should be Adobe Type 1 standard—Helvetica or Times are preferred.
· Ensure that lettering is appropriately sized—should correspond to 8 or 9 pt when printed.
· All lines (e.g. graph axes) should have a minimum width of ¼ pt (0.1 mm) otherwise they will not print; 1 pt weight is preferable.
· Avoid using tints, but any that are used must be at a minimum 5% level for that tint to print (but do not use too high a tint as it may print too dark).
· Captions should be incorporated in the manuscript text rather than in the image file.
Case Reports
The format for Case Reports is Abstract, Case Report and Discussion.
Short Communication
A research paper reporting preliminary findings from a hypothesis-driven piece of research. It should contain the same structure as a full research paper with Introduction, Methods, Results and Conclusion.
Technical Report
A Technical Report is not a hypothesis-driven research report but describes a radiographic technique or piece of software of interest to a clinician or researcher in a relevant field of interest.
Editorials, Systematic Review and Review Articles
Editorials and Reviews will generally be solicited by the Editor but submissions and suggestions for such material are very welcome.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor are encouraged. They may deal with material in published papers or they may raise new issues. In the former, the Editor may send the letter first to the author(s) of the original paper so that any response can be published at the same time. On acceptance, an electronic letter will be sent to the authors confirming acceptance.
On Acceptance
An electronic letter will be sent to authors confirming acceptance. Authors will be e-mailed PDF proofs and given the opportunity to purchase offprints in addition to the 25 that will be provided free of charge. Articles will also appear in DMFR Online at dmfr.birjournals.org
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge to the principal author. Additional offprints may be ordered on the form accompanying the proofs. The charges are necessarily higher if orders for reprints are received after the issue has gone to press.
