About the journal
Disability and Rehabilitation is an international, multidisciplinary journal which seeks to encourage a better understanding of all aspects of disability, and to promote the rehabilitation process. The journal publishes articles on rehabilitation in practice and rehabilitation engineering, spanning a range of issues including the severity and magnitude of disability, clinical medicine including gerontology, psychosocial adjustment, social policy issues, vocational and educational training, and rehabilitation engineering.
Disability and Rehabilitation seeks to encourage a better understanding of all aspects of disablement and to promote the rehabilitation process. New submissions on any aspect of disability an rehabilitation are encouraged.
Disability and Rehabilitation is an international interdisciplinary journal and particularly welcomes contributions from a wide range of professional groups, including medical practitioners, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, clinical psychologists and those involved in nursing, education, ergonomics, and engineering.
Disability and Rehabilitation is organised into sections: Literature Reviews; Research Papers, Case Studies, Clinical Commentaries; reports on Rehabilitation in Practice, Rehabilitation Engineering, Correspondence; and major Book Reviews. Occasional Special Interests and specific sections on contemporary themes of interest to the Journal’s readership are published.
Disability and Rehabilitation will be of interest to a wide range of professional groups, including medical practitioners, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, clinical psychologists and those involved in nursing, education, ergonomics and engineering.
Instructions to Authors
Submissions
Three copies of a paper should be submitted with the originals of any tables, figures, or photographs, all of which should be of high quality suitable for reproduction. Submissions should be in English presented on one side of the paper in double line spacing. All tables, figures and photographs should be marked in pencil on the back identifying the author(s) and the order of appearance in the text.
The submission should include a separate title page with the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the
author(s) and the name and address for offprint requests with a telephone, fax number (including country and area codes), and electronic mail address.
Submissions should be accompanied by a covering letter signed by every author and should include where appropriate a formal statement that ethical consent for the work to be carried out has been given. Photographs of patients should be avoided, but if essential patients' consent in writing must accompany manuscript. It is not sufficient to mask identity by covering the patient’s eyes.
Authors are encouraged to request anonymous refereeing and should prepare the manuscript accordingly.
There are no page charges for papers published in the journal. Three complimentary copies of the issue in which your article appears will be sent to the principal or sole author or articles. Larger quantities may be ordered at a special discount price. An order form will accompany the proof which must be completed and returned, irrespective of whether you require additional copies.
Writing a paper for Disability and Rehabilitation
For all manuscripts, non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms should not be used.
Structured abstracts of around 200 words are required for all papers submitted and should precede the text of a paper.
Manuscripts should be typed on one single side of A4 or 8 x 11 inch white good quality paper, double-spaced throughout, including the reference section.
Please submit three copies of your manuscript.
Accepted manuscripts in their final, revised versions, may also be submitted as electronic word processing files on disk - see ‘Electronic Processing’.
In writing your paper, you are encouraged to review articles in the area you are addressing which have been previously published in the journal, and where you feel appropriate, to reference them. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for our readers.
Structure of Paper
An introductory section should state the purpose of the paper and give a brief account of previous work. New techniques and modifications should be described concisely but in sufficient detail to permit their evaluation; standard methods should simply be referenced. Experimental results should be presented in the most appropriate form, with sufficient explanation to assist their interpretation; their discussion should form a distinct section. Extensive tabulations will not be accepted unless their inclusion is essential.
Abstracts
Structured abstracts are required for all papers, and should be submitted as detailed below, following the title and author’s name and address, preceding the main text.
Intending contributors should note that Disability and Rehabilitation is changing the format of the summary of each paper to that of a structured abstract. The change will operate with immediate effect. There is clear evidence that structured abstracts contain more accessible information than summaries and are therefore of more use to the readership.
All papers submitted to the Journal of Disability and Rehabilitation should have a ‘structured abstract’ of no more than 200 words. The following headings should be used, following the title, author’s name and address, and proceeding the main text:
Purpose State the main aims and objectives of the paper.
Method Describe the design, and methodological procedures adopted.
Results Present the main results.
Conclusions State the conclusions that have been drawn and their relevance to the study of disability and rehabilitation.
Nomenclature and units
All abbreviations and units should conform to SI practice. Drugs should be referred to by generic names; trade names of substances, their sources, and details of manufacturers of scientific instruments should be given only if the information is important to the evaluation of the experimental data.
Copyright permission
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than fifty word) extract from the text, from a source which is copyrighted - or owned - by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor.
This applies both to direct reproduction or ‘derivative reproduction’ - when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
The following form of words can be used in seeking permission:
Dear [COPYRIGHT HOLDER]
I/we are preparing for publication an article entitled
[STATE TITLE]
to be published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in Advances in Physics.
I/we should be grateful if you would grant us permission to include the following materials:
[STATE FIGURE NUMBER AND ORIGINAL SOURCE]
We are requesting non-exclusive rights in this edition and in all forms. It is understood, of course, that full acknowledgement will be given to the source.
Please note that Taylor & Francis are signatories of and respect the spirit of the STM Agreement regarding the free sharing and dissemination of scholarly information.
Your prompt consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
Code of experimental ethics and practice
Contributors are required to follow the procedures in force in their countries which govern the ethics of work done with human or animal subjects. The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) represents a minimal requirement.
When experimental animals are used, state the species, strain, number used, and other pertinent descriptive characteristics.
For human subjects or patients, describe their characteristics.
For human participants in a research survey, secure the consent for data and other material - verbatim quotations from interviews, etc. - to be used.
When describing surgical procedures on animals, identify the pre anaesthetic and anaesthetic agents used and state the amount of concentration and the route and frequency of administration for each. The use of paralytic agents, such as curare or succinylcholine, is not an acceptable substitute for anaesthetics. For other invasive procedures on animals, report the analgesic or tranquilizing drugs used; if none were used, provide justification for such exclusion.
When reporting studies on unanaesthetized animals or on humans, indicate that the procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines.
Specific permission for facial photographs of patients is required. A letter of consent must accompany the photographs of patients in which a possibility of identification exists. It is not sufficient to cover the eyes to mask identity.
Electronic Processing
We strongly encourage you to send us the final, revised version of your article in both hard (paper) and electronic (disk) forms. This Guide sets out the procedures which will assure we can process your article efficiently. It is divided into three sections:
a guide for authors using standard word-processing software packages
a guide for authors using LaTeX mathematical software packages
a guide for authors using graphics software packages
There are some general rules which apply to all three options.
these guides do not apply to authors who are submitting an article for consideration and peer review; they apply only to authors whose articles have been reviewed, revised, and accepted for publication
print out your hard (paper) copy from the disk you are sending; it is essential that the hard-copy printout is identical to the material on the disk; where versions differ, the hard copy will take precedence. We advise that you maintain back-ups of your files
save and send your files on a standard 3.5 inch high density disk (Mac or PC); please do not attempt to send the article via file transfer protocol or email
when saving your article onto a disk, please make sure that the files do not exceed a manageable size. Please ensure that figures are saved on a separate disk
ensure that the files are not saved as read only
virus-check your disk before sending it to the Editor
label your disk
package disks in such a way as to avoid damage in the post
disks are not returnable after publication
1. A guide for authors using standard word-processing software packages
For the main text of your article, most standard PC or Mac word-processing software packages are acceptable, although we prefer Microsoft Word in a PC format.
Word-processed files should be prepared according to the journal style.
Avoid the use of embedded footnotes. For numbered tables, use the table function provided with the word-processing package.
All text should be saved in one file with the complete text (including the title page, abstract, all sections of the body of the paper, references), followed by numbered tables and the figure captions.
You should send the following to the Editor:
a 3.5-inch disk containing the final, accepted version of the paper
include an ASCII/text only version on the disk as well as the word processed version if possible
two hard copy printouts
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. File names contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: text
Journal title
A.N. Author
article.doc
IBM PC
MS Word for Windows 7.0
2. A guide for authors using LaTeX mathematical software packages
Authors who wish to prepare their articles using the LaTeX document preparation system are advised to use article.sty (for LaTex 2.09) or article.cls (for LaTex2e).
The use of macros should be kept to an absolute minimum but if any are used they should be gathered together in the file, just before the \begin{document} command
You should send the following to the Editor:
a 3.5-inch disk containing the final, accepted version of the paper
the files you send must be text-only (often called an ASCII file), with no system-dependent control codes
two hard copy printouts
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. File names contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: LaTeX
Journal title
A.N. Author
article.tex article.sty
IBM PC
PCLaTeX v2.09
3. A guide for authors using graphics software packages
We welcome figures on disk, but care and attention to these guidelines is essential, as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
Figures must be saved on a separate disk from the text.
Avoid the use of colour and tints for aesthetic reasons. Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
High quality reproducible hard copy for all line figures (printed out from your electronic files at a minimum of 600 dpi) must be supplied in case the disks are unusable; photographs and transparencies can be accepted as hard copy only. Photocopies will not be accepted.
All figures must be numbered in the order in which they occur (e.g. figure 1, figure 2 etc.). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1 (a), figure 1 (b) etc.)
The figure captions must be saved as a separate file with the text and numbered correspondingly.
The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
Files should be saved as TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), containing all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g., CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. Figures contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: figures
Journal title
A.N. Author
Figures 1-10
Macintosh
Adobe Illustrator 5.5
Notes on style
All authors are asked to take account of the diverse audience of the journal. Clearly explain -- or avoid the use of -- terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. However, note also that we do not aspire to be international in the ways that McDonald’s restaurants or Hilton Hotels are international; we much prefer papers that, where appropriate, reflect the particularities of each social and cultural system.
Some specific points of style for the text of articles, research reports, case studies, reports, essay reviews, and reviews follow:
1. We prefer US to ‘American’, USA to ‘United States’, and UK to ‘United Kingdom’.
2. We use conservative (British, not US, spelling, i.e. colour not color; behaviour (behavioural) not behavior; [school] programme not program; [he] practises not practices; centre not center; organization not organisation; analyse not analyze, etc.
3. Single ‘quotes’ are used for quotations rather than double "quotes", unless the ‘quote is "within" another quote’.
4. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. ‘quotes precede punctuation’.
5. Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions: e.g. i.e. cf. Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
6. Dashes (M-dash) should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash ( - ) or a double hyphen (- -).
7. We are sparing in our use of the upper case in headings and references, e.g. only the first word in paper titles and all subheads is in upper case; titles of papers from journals in the references and other places are not in upper case.
8. Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus, decades should be referred to as follows: ‘The 1980s [not the 1980’s] saw ...’. Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g. PA), should be written as follows: ‘The APU’s findings that ...’, but, NB, the plural is APUs.
9. All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. ‘The work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s ...’. Subsequently, ‘The APU studies of achievement ...’, in a reference ... (Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a).
10. Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally. Some suggested editorial emendations to a ‘typical’ text are indicated in the following with square brackets: ‘From the time of H. E. Armstrong [in the 19th century] to the curriculum development work associated with the Nuffield Foundation [in the 1960s], there has been a shift from heurism to constructivism in the design of [British] science courses’.
11. The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used in all papers. For the USA, ‘African-American’, ‘Hispanic’ and ‘Native American’ are used, e.g. ‘The African American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...’; for the UK, ‘Afro-Caribbean’ (not ‘West Indian’), etc.
12. Material to be emphasized (italicized in the printed version) should be underlined in the typescript rather than italicized. Please use such emphasis sparingly.
Mathematics
Special care should be taken with mathematical scripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero. If your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols should be highlighted in the text and explained in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter, and/or a ‘Nomenclature’ section preceding the ‘Introduction’.
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, I /(n-1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations should be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi, for example:
61+ 5h +q
3n + 3yz2
But: a/b + c/d + a/d
P = (a2 = b2)(c2 + d2)
The solidus is not generally used for units: ms - 1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially (1, 2, etc.) on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text.
Symbols should not be underlined to indicate fonts except for tensors, vectors and matrices, which are indicated with a wavy line in the manuscript (not with a straight arrow or arrow above) and rendered in heavy type in print: upright sans serif r (tensor), sloping serif r (vector) upright serif r (matrix).
Typographical requirements must be clearly indicated at their first occurrence, e.g. Greek, Roman, script, sans serif, bold, italic. Authors will be charged for corrections at proof stage resulting from a failure to do so.
Braces, brackets and parentheses are used in the order {[( )]}, except where mathematical convention dictates otherwise (i.e. square brackets for commutators and anticommutators)
Citations in text
We prefer that references are cited using the numerical system (e.g. [3], [5-9]). They should be listed separately at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text.
Notes on tables and figures
Artwork submitted for publication will not be returned and will be destroyed after publication, unless you request otherwise. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately.
1. Tables and figures should be valuable, relevant, and visually attractive. Tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of their appearance. Each table and figure should have a complete, descriptive title; and each table column an appropriate heading.
Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. ‘As seen in table [or figure] 1 ...’ (not Tab., fig. or Fig).
2. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
[Insert table 2 about here ]
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on separate sheets and not embedded in the text. Original copies of figures should be supplied. All figures should allow for reduction to column width (130 mm) or page width (160mm). Please avoid figures that would require landscape reproduction, i.e., reading from bottom to top of the page. Photographs may be sent as glossy prints or negatives.
Please number each figure on the reverse in pencil.
Do not type the caption to a figure on that figure; the legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the main text and should be grouped together.
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript. Please do not incorporate these into the bionote or notes.
References
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first cited and should appear in numerical order at the end of the paper. The format of the references is based on that given by the International Steering Committee of Medical Editors, except that titles of journals should be cited in full.
All authors should be listed when six or less; when seven or more list only the first three followed by et al. The following styles should be adhered to:
1. Reference to a book:
1 Heath J. Disability in the Pacific Islands. Oaklands Park: McDonald-Heath, 1987; 79- 109.
2. Reference to a chapter in a book:
