Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is a leading international publisher of professional health information for physicians, nurses, specialized clinicians and students. For a complete listing of titles currently published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and detailed information about print, online, and other offerings, please visit the LWW Online Store.
Health Physics, first published in 1958, has provided a wide variety of radiation safety professionals including health physicists, nuclear chemists, and physicians with interest in nuclear and radiological medicine to stay on the cutting edge of scientific and technological advances in the field of radiation safety for these and other disciplines in science and engineering. With the many advances in medicine, industry and research using radioactive materials and radiation machines, there is an ongoing need for cutting edge information on radiation safety.
The Journal along with its quarterly supplement, Operational Radiation Safety, provides features that allow readers to understand more about the topics that interest them. These features include original papers, technical notes, articles on advances in practical applications, editorials, and correspondence that report on the latest findings in theoretical practical and applied disciplines, of epidemiology and radiation effects; radiation biology and radiation medicine; fate and transport of radioactive materials in biological systems to name just a few. Scientists, physicians and engineers alike will find useful information regarding radiation safety.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Health Physics manuscripts include Papers, Review Articles, Notes, Operational Topics, Forum articles, and Letters. All manuscripts must be submitted in accordance with the following rules:
- Submit one original and two copies which include photocopies of all tables and figures. A set of original, camera-ready art (laser prints or glossies) must be supplied with each submittal. Dot matrix art is not acceptable.
- Detach or photocopy the form on the back of these Guidelines and send with the submission. Be sure it is complete, including signatures from all authors.
- Manuscripts must be double-spaced and typewritten (no dot matrix) on one side of 216 ?279 mm (81/2 ?11 in.) paper with pages numbered consecutively. Margins along all edges should be at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) wide.
- The title, name, complete address of author(s), and abstract should appear on the first page.
- A separate list of figure captions and footnotes should follow the reference section. Table captions should appear above each table.
- Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the style requirements below.
TYPESETTING FROM DISKETTE
To expedite publication, Health Physics is now accepting revised manuscripts on diskette. When submitting a revised manuscript, authors are encouraged to send an electronic version of the paper along with the required two hard copy printouts. (See detailed instructions under 揜evision of Manuscripts.?
ABSTRACTS
An abstract is one concise paragraph depicting the most important information of the manuscript. The abstract should contain a short statement of the purpose or objectives of the study, a brief description of the methods, and major conclusions. Abstracts must be included with Papers, Review Articles, Notes, Operational Topics and Forum articles.
STYLE REQUIREMENTS
- Use third person voice when writing the manuscript; avoid using first person voice.
- Be sure to include the following section headings with a Paper or Note, and other manuscripts as they apply: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. Operational Topics manuscripts, Forum articles, and Review Articles may have some variation of these section headings.
- List the day before the month and year when referring to specific dates (1 January 2000, not January 1, 2001).
- Indent all paragraphs but the first.
- Center, but do not underline, main headings.
- Capitalize and spell out 揟able?in the text. Abbreviate 揊igure,?e.g., Fig. 1 in all cases.
- The full name of elements should be spelled out (strontium, iodine) except when nuclide mass numbers are used (90Sr, 131I).
- The first time an abbreviation or acronym appears, it must be preceded by the full name for which it stands.
- Spell out numbers one through nine unless they precede a unit; spell out the words gamma, alpha, and beta.
- Use negative exponents instead of slashes, e.g., 1 Gy y-1 rather than 1 Gy/y.
- Do not use 揈-notation.?Use power of 10 in text, tables, and figures, e.g., 2.58 ?10-4 rather than 2.58 E-4.
- Do not use the historic names RaA, RaB, RaC, ThA, ThB, etc. 218Po, 214Pb, 214Bi, etc., should be used instead.
- Abbreviations of units and the symbol for percentage (%) must be used only when preceded by a numeral, e.g., 30% or 1 Bq.
- Avoid end-of-line hyphenations to prevent typesetting confusion. It is acceptable to justify the margins.
- Use CBE style (Council of Biology Editors) for footnote symbols throughout the entire text (i.e., *, ? ? ? **, 唵, 噰, etc.).
- In the text, where trademarked items and other equipment are first mentioned, include the complete product designation and manufacturer's full name and address in parenthesis.
- Use the International System of Units (SI) in all submissions, including Letters to the Editor (see below).
TABLES
FIGURES
- One clear, high-quality, camera-ready version of each figure must be provided with each submission. Dot matrix and carbon copies will not be accepted.
- Photocopies of each figure must be included with each photocopied submittal.
- Most figures will be reduced to a one-column width (31/4 inches wide). Try to submit figures at this width with type (letters and data points) no smaller than 1/16 inch. Those figures that cannot be submitted at a one-column width may be submitted at a two-column width (63/4 inches wide) with type no smaller than 1/8 inch. Figure reduction/enlargement and placement within the article are decided by the Editorial Office staff and the publisher.
- A separate, double-spaced list of figure captions must be provided. Do not include captions on actual figures.
- Figures must be labeled on back in pencil with arabic numbers, proper direction (e.g., top), and the first author's last name.
- Each figure must be provided on a separate sheet of paper following the reference section. Do not imbed figures in the text.
- Figure legends, which describe data points, must appear in the upper right or left corner of the figure or in the caption.
- Figures in manuscripts will appear in black and white unless color charges are paid for by the author.
- Camera-ready copies are preferable to electronic pictures. If a figure is to be submitted electronically, it must be in TIFF, EPS, or Quark (please specify which format), and be submitted with a hard copy.
- Potential cover photos (color preferred) must pertain to an accepted manuscript but do not have to be part of the manuscript.
REFERENCES
- The accuracy of the reference list and information from other sources cited in the text is the responsibility of the author, not the copy editor.
- Use the author抯 (authors? last name and year of publication when citing references in the text (e.g., Smith 1988; Todd and Warren 1990; Brown et al. 1991).
- The reference list is alphabetized on a letter-by-letter basis (e.g., de Gaulle is listed before Delmont). References cited in the text should be listed in chronological order (e.g., Smith 1988, 1990; Jones et al. 1992).
- Acceptable publications for the reference list include journal articles, books, technical reports, cataloged theses and dissertations, proceedings, letters to the editor, Web sites, patents, maps, recordings, etc. Articles accepted for publication, but not yet published, may be included in the reference list as 搃n press.?
- Footnote unpublished materials, which include personal letters and internal memoranda, private tape recordings, user's manuals, data to be published, etc.
