About the journal The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present practical information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day. Manuscripts are provided from a range of health care providers including those in physical medicine, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, neurosurgery, physical therapy, radiology, osteopathy, chiropractic and nursing on topics ranging from chronic pain to sports medicine. Diagnostic decision trees and treatment algorithms are encouraged in each manuscript. Controversial topics are discussed in commentaries and rebuttals. Associated areas such as medical-legal, worker's compensation and practice guidelines are included. The journal publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies and programme descriptions. Letters to the editors, commentaries, and editorials are also welcomed. Manuscripts are peer reviewed. Constructive critiques are given to each author. Suggestions for thematic issues and proposed manuscripts are welcomed.

Preparation of manuscripts
Organization of the paper and style of presentation
- Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are recommended to seek the advice of a native English speaker, if possible, before submitting their manuscripts.
- Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the paper only, with wide margins and double spacing throughout, including the abstract, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc., should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Try to avoid the excessive use of italics and bold face.
- Manuscripts should be organized in the following order:
- Title page
- Introduction
- Body of text (divided by subheadings)
- Conclusion
- Acknowledgements
- References
- Tables
- Figure captions
- Figures.
- Headings and subheadings should be numbered and typed on a separate line, without indentation.
- SI units should be used, i.e., the units based on the metre, kilogramme, second, etc.
Title page
- The title page should provide the following information:
- Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long)
- Name(s) of author(s); please indicate who is the corresponding author
- Full affiliation(s)
- Present address of author(s), if different from affiliation
- Complete address of corresponding author, including tel. no., fax no. and e-mail address
- Abstract
- Keywords
- The abstract should be clear, descriptive, self-explanatory and not longer than 200 words. It should also be suitable for publication in abstracting services.
Tables
- Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all tables.
- Each table should be provided on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
- Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
- Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
- Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.
- Any explanations essential to the understanding of the table should be given in footnotes at the bottom of the table.
Figures
- Figures should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all figures.
- Each figure should be provided on a separate sheet. Figures should not be included in the text.
- Colour figures can be included, provided the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
- For the file formats of the figures please take the following into account:
- line art should be have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi, save as EPS or TIFF
- grayscales (incl photos) should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (no lettering), or 500 dpi (when there is lettering); save as tiff
- do not save figures as JPEG, this format may lose information in the process
- do not use figures taken from the Internet, the resolution will be too low for printing
- do not use colours in your figures if they should be printed in black & white, because this will reduce the print quality (note that in software often the default is colour, you should change the settings)
- for figures that should be printed in colour, please send both a hardcopy (to be used for the paper publication), and a CMYK encoded EPS or TIFF (used for the electronic publication)
- Each figure should be identified by its number. If necessary, indicate top or bottom of figure.
- Figures should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. They should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50 %.
- On maps and other figures where a scale is needed, use bar scales rather than numerical ones, i.e., do not use scales of the type 1:10,000. This avoids problems if the figures need to be reduced.
- Each figure should have a self-explanatory caption. The captions to all figures should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
- Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity.
