E-mail: jdtrobe@umich.edu Originality and validity of manuscript: A submitted manuscript must not have been previously published (except as an abstract) or be under consideration for pub-lication elsewhere, and if accepted, may not be published elsewhere in a similar form, in any language, without the consent of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the valid-ity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with JNO, its editors, or the publisher.
Authors' role: Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the preparation of the manuscript in a significant way.
Patient anonymity and informed consent: It is the author抯 responsibility to ensure that a patient's anonymity is carefully protected. Authors should mask patients' eyes and remove patients' names from figures unless they obtain written consent from the patients and submit written consent with the manuscript. It is also the author's responsibility to verify that any experimental investigation with human subjects reported in the manuscript was performed with informed consent and following all the guidelines for experimental investigation with human subjects required by the institution(s) with which all the authors are affiliated.
Human and animal studies: All manuscripts reporting human research must contain a statement that the study was approved by the institutional review board. All subjects or their surrogates must have signed informed consent forms if required by the review board. All manuscripts reporting animal studies must use protocols that conform to the NIH guidelines (Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, NIH Publication 86-23). Descriptions of surgical procedures on animals should include the route of administration, generic drug name, and dose of anesthetic used. Paralytic agents are not acceptable alternatives to anesthetics.
Copyright: All authors must sign a copy of the journal's "Authorship Responsibility, Financial Disclosure, and Copyright Transfer" form and must include it with the initial manuscript submission.
Permissions: Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
General format: Submit one hard copy (printed version) of the manuscript in English on standard 8 1/2 x 11-inch (21 x 28-cm) paper with at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Double-space all copy, including legends, footnotes, tables, and references, and print on one side of the sheet only. Include a running title on the upper left corner of each page. Also submit a diskette (IBM-compatible, Word) containing the manuscript. Clearly label the disk with the name of the author, item title, journal title, word processing program and version, and file names.
Title page: Include the complete manuscript title, a running title (upper left corner), full names, academic degrees, and affiliations of all authors, as well as the mail and e-mail address, fax and telephone numbers of the corresponding author. Specify if the corresponding author is different from the author who is to receive reprints. Include all sources of support that require acknowledgment and pertinent financial disclosures.
Abstract: An abstract (word limit: 200) must accompany all submissions except Letters. For all experimental and clinical studies, submit a structured abstract using the following subheads: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions. For case reports and photo essays, submit an unstructured abstract.
Key words: List three to five key words that will be valuable search terms.
Text: For clinical or experimental studies, organize the manuscript under four headings: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. For case reports, organize the manuscript under four headings: Introduction, Methods, Case Reports, and Discussion. For Photo Essays, there should be no headings. Begin the text with the case description. For all submissions, define abbreviations at first mention in text and in each table and figure. If a brand name is cited, supply the manufacturer抯 name and address (city and state/country). Acknowledge all forms of sup-port, including pharmaceutical and industry support, in an Acknowledgments paragraph.
Abbreviations: For a list of standard abbreviations, consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Guide (available from the Council of Science Editors, 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814) or other standard sources. Write out the full term for each abbreviation at its first use unless it is a standard unit of measure.
References: Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. Key the references (double-spaced) at the end of the manuscript. Cite the references in text in the order of appearance. Cite unpublished data, such as papers submitted but not yet accepted for publication or personal communications, in parentheses in the text. If there are more than three authors, name only the first three authors and then use et al.

Figures
Submit two copies of each figure as high quality or laser prints, preferably in a 5" x 7" size. Cite figures consecutively in the text, and number them in the order in which they are discussed. Write the first author抯 last name, the figure number and figure part (1A, 1B, 1C), and an arrow to indicate the top edge of the figure on a label pasted to the back of each figure. Lettering should be large enough that it will remain legible after figure reduction; typewritten or unprofessional lettering is unacceptable. Figure parts (A, B, C) may be left unlabeled (but clearly marked on back) for professional placement by the Journal抯 printer.
In addition to the two prints of each figure, authors may optionally submit digital files. Electronic art should be created/scanned and saved and submitted as either a TIFF (tagged image file format), an EPS (encapsulated postscript) file, or a PPT (Power Point) file. Line art must have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi (dots per inch), and electronic photographs-radiographs, CT scans, and so on-and scanned images must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. If fonts are used in the artwork, they must be converted to paths or outlines or they must be embedded in the files. Color images must be created/scanned and saved and submitted as CMYK files. All electronic art must be accompanied by high-resolution laser prints of the images. Files can be submitted on a 3?inch high-density disk, a CD-ROM, or an Iomega Zip disk. Please note that artwork generated from office suite programs such Corel Draw and MS Word and artwork downloaded from the Internet (JPEG or GIF files) cannot be used.
Color figures: As with black-and-white figures, color figures should be submitted in duplicate as high-quality glossy or laser prints. If digital files are submitted, they should conform with the guidelines above and be saved in CMYK, not index or RGB, color mode. The Journal has a small budget to pay for color art. Once that is exceeded, the authors must themselves bear the costs which will be communicated to them shortly after the article is accepted for publication. Authors who submit color figures should indicate in the cover letter whether they would be willing to bear the costs of publishing their color art. If authors do not wish to pay for color art, the figures will be converted to black and white at no charge.
Figure legends: Legends must be submitted for all figures. They should be brief and specific and appear on a separate manuscript page after the references. Each legend should begin with a brief statement that identifies the figure. (Examples: Magnetic resonance imaging, Case 1; or Multifocal electroretinogram, Case 2; or Biopsy of left upper lid, Case 3.) Use scale markers in the image for electron micrographs and indicate the type of stain used for tissue.
Tables: Cite tables consecutively in the text, and number them in that order. Tables should follow the references. Each table should appear on a separate page, and include the table title, appropriate column heads, and explanatory legends (including definitions of any abbreviations used). Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript.
Style: Pattern manuscript style after the American Medical Association Manual of Style (9th edition). Stedman抯 Medical Dictionary (27th edition) and Merriam Webster抯 Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition) should be used as standard references. Refer to drugs and therapeutic agents by their accepted generic or chemical names, and do not abbreviate them. Use code numbers only when a generic name is not yet available. In that case, supply the chemical name and a figure giving the chemical structure of the drug. Capitalize the trade names of drugs and place them in parentheses after the generic names. To comply with trademark law, include the name and location (city and state in USA; city and country outside USA) of the manufacturer of any equipment mentioned in the manuscript. Use the metric system to express units of measure and degrees Celsius to express temperatures, and use SI units rather than conventional units.
AFTER ACCEPTANCE
Electronic page proofs and corrections: Corresponding authors will receive electronic page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. Portable document format (PDF) files of the typeset pages and sup-port documents (such as the reprint order form) will be sent to the corresponding author via e-mail. Complete instructions will be provided with the e-mail for downloading and printing the files and for faxing the corrected pages to the publisher. Authors without an e-mail address will receive a traditional proof. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs. Changes that have been made to conform to journal style will stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Only the most critical changes to the accuracy of the content will be made. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material will be disallowed. The publisher reserves the right to deny any changes that do not affect the accuracy of the content. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those required to correct errors or to answer queries. Electronic proofs must be checked carefully and corrections faxed within 24 to 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the electronic cover letter accompanying the page proofs.
Reprints: Authors will receive a reprint order form with the electronic page proofs that includes reprint costs. Reprint requests should be faxed to the publisher with the corrected proofs, if possible. Reprints are normally shipped 6 to 8 weeks after publication of the issue in which the item appears. Contact the Reprint Department, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 with any questions.
Publisher's contact: Fax corrected page proofs, reprint order forms, and any other related materials to Journal Production Editor, Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 215-521-8483 or 215-521-8485. Color proofs should be mailed to Journal Production Editor, Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
