About the journal
The Irish Journal of Medical Science is one of the oldest Medical journals in these islands, established in 1832. The Editor is one of the Officers of the Academy and over the years the Journal has maintained a standard of excellence. Articles are subjected to rigorous review and it is cited in "Current Contents".
Instructions to Authors
The I.J.M.S. will consider manuscripts reporting original research of relevance to clinical medicine, which may be submitted as full papers or short reports. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the Vancouver style1. Submitting authors should indicate in the top right hand corner of the paper title page the Specialty Editor(s) appropriate to the paper. Evidence of approval by the relevant ethics committee must be given for studies describing clinical trials or investigations on normal human subjects. The Journal will only consider papers describing experiments on animals which are in accordance with the current laws governing animal experimentation. More detailed and specific instructions are given below.
All material submitted for publication is assumed to be submitted exclusively to the I.J.M.S. unless the contrary is stated (If this is the case indicate if this work has been submitted to; is under current consideration by or has been declined by another Journal). All authors must give signed consent to publication. The editor retains the customary right to style and if necessary shorten material accepted for publication.
All manuscripts should be sent to the Editor, Editorial Office, IJMS, 6 Kildare Street, Dublin 2, and not to any other address or Specialty Editor.
Manuscripts will be acknowledged; letters will not be unless a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed.
Any article may be submitted to outside peer review and evaluation by the editorial committee as well as statistical assessment. Manuscripts are usually published within three months of the date of final acceptance of the article.
Manuscripts, tables, and illustrations
Authors should keep one copy of their manuscripts for reference. Manuscripts should be typed double spaced on one side of A4 paper with a 5 cm margin at the top and left hand side of the sheet. The pages should be numbered. Three copies should be submitted. The authors should include their names, initials and full postal addresses. Scientific articles should conform to the conventional structure of abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. The abstract should be no longer than 150 words and should set out what was done and the main findings and their implications.
Drugs should be given their approved, not proprietary, names and the source of any new or experimental preparations should be given. Abbreviations in general should not be used. Certain abbreviations listed below however may be used without definition. Scientific measurements should be given in SI units, followed, in the text, by traditional units in parentheses if felt necessary. In tables and illustrations values should be expressed only in SI units. Blood pressure may be expressed in mmHg.
Any statistical method used should be detailed in the methods section of the paper and any not in common use should be either described in detail or supported by references. Tables and illustrations should be submitted separately from the text of the paper, and legends to illustrations should also be typed on a separate sheet. Tables should be simple and should not duplicate information in the text of the article. Illustrations should only be used when data cannot be expressed clearly in any other way. When graphs or scattergrams are submitted the numerical data on which they are based should be supplied on a separate sheet. Line drawings should be in Indian ink on heavy white paper or card with any labelling on a copy. They may also be presented as photographic prints, good quality photocopies, or may be computer generated (laser print copies). Other illustrations should usually be prints - not negatives, transparencies, or X ray films; they should be no larger than 30 X 21 cm (A4) and be trimmed to remove all redundant areas; the top should be marked on the back. Staining techniques of photomicrographs should be stated. Either an internal scale marker should be included on the photomicrograph or the final print magnification of the photograph itself should be given. Again, any labelling should be on copies, not on the prints. Patients shown in photographs should have their identity concealed or should give their written consent to publication. If any tables or illustrations submitted have been published elsewhere, written consent to republication should be obtained by the author from the copyright holder (usually the publisher) and the authors.
References
References should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the text. At the end of the article the full list of references should give the names and initials of all authors (unless they are more than six, when only the first three should be given followed by et al). Titles of books should be followed by place of publication, publisher, and year.

Information from manuscripts not yet accepted or personal communications may be cited only in the text. Authors must verify references against the original documents before submitting the article.
Proofs and reprints
Manuscripts should bear the name and address of the author to whom the proofs and correspondence should be sent. Proofs are not normally sent for letters. Proof corrections should be kept to a minimum and should conform to the conventions shown in Whitaker's Almanack. A charge of ?5 per page (600 words) will be levied on authors of full papers. Reprints are available; a scale of charges is included when a proof is sent.
