Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
The journal editors, Ann Moore and Gwen Jull, welcome the submission of papers for publication.
Submission to this journal proceeds totally online at  http://ees.elsevier.com/ymath.
Use the following guidelines to prepare your article.
You will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail.
The above represents a very brief outline of this form of submission. It can be advantageous to print this "Guide for Authors" section from the site for reference in the subsequent stages of article preparation.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all Authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
Word Count
Manuscripts should not exceed the following word counts
Original articles and review articles 3500 words
Technical and measurement notes 2000 words
Professional issues 2000 words
Masterclass 4000 words
Letters to the Editors 500 words
These word counts do not include references or figures/tables
Presentation of Typescripts
Your article should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced with a margin of at least 3cm. One copy of your typescript and illustrations should be submitted and authors should retain a file copy. Rejected articles will not be returned to the author except on request.
Authors are encouraged to submit electronic artwork files. Please refer to http://www.elsevier.com/authors for guidelines for the preparation of electronic artwork files. To facilitate anonymity, the author's names and any reference to their addresses should only appear on the title page. Please check your typescript carefully before you send it off, both for correct content and typographic errors. It is not possible to change the content of accepted typescripts during production.
Papers should be set out as follows, with each section beginning on a separate sheet: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, tables, and captions to illustrations.
Title
The title page should give the following information:
晅itle of the article
昮ull name of each author
晊ou should give a maximum of four degrees/qualifications for each author and the current relevant appointment
昻ame and address of the department or institution to which the work should be attributed
昻ame, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence and to whom requests for offprints should be sent.
Keywords
Include three or four keywords. The purpose of these is to increase the likely accessibility of your paper to potential readers searching the literature. Therefore, ensure keywords are descriptive of the study. Refer to a recognised thesaurus of keywords (e.g. CINAHL, MEDLINE) wherever possible.
Abstracts
This should consist of 150-200 words summarizing the content of the article.
Text
Headings should be appropriate to the nature of the paper. The use of headings enhances readability. Three categories of headings should be used:
昺ajor ones should be typed in capital letter in the centre of the page and underlined
晄econdary ones should be typed in lower case (with an initial capital letter) in the left hand margin and underlined
昺inor ones typed in lower case and italicised
Do not use 'he', 'his' etc. where the sex of the person is unknown; say 'the patient' etc. Avoid inelegant alternatives such as 'he/she'. Avoid sexist language.
References
The accuracy of references is the responsibility of the author. In the text your reference should state the author's surname and the year of publication (Smith 1989). If there are two authors you should give both surnames (Smith & Black 1989). When a source has more than two authors, give the name of the first author followed by 'et al'. A list of all references in your manuscript should be typed in alphabetical order, double spaced on a separate sheet of paper. Each reference to a paper needs to include the author's surname and initials, full title of the paper, full name of the journal, year of publication, volume number and first and last page numbers.
Here are examples:
Lee M, Svensson NL. Effects of loading frequency on response of the spine to lumbar postero - anterior forces. Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics 1993; 16(7): 439-466
References to books should be in a slightly different form:
Bogduk N, Twomey L. Clinical Anatomy of the Lumbar Spine, 2nd edn. Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone, 1991; ch 4, p37
Jones M A. Clinical reasoning process in manipulative therapy. In: Boyling J, Palastanga N editors. Grieve's Modern Manual Therapy, 2nd edn. Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone, 1994; ch 34, pp 471-490
When citing a Churchill Livingstone journal, include the digital object identifier (DOI), if noted, from the article's title page. Please note the following examples:
Nanduri B, Zimiak P. Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 1998; 362: 167-174. doi: 10.1054/abbi.1998.1009
Prasad R K, Ismail-Beigi F. Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 1998; doi: 10.1054/abbi.1998.1026
Citing and listing of Web references.
As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (Author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. The date on which the website was last accessed should also be included. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list. When citing a Churchill Livingstone journal, the digital object identifier (DOI) may also be included, if noted, from the article's title page. Please note the following example: Joos U, Kleinheinz J 2000 Reconstruction of the severely resorbed (class VI) jaws: routing or exception? Journal of Craniomaxillofacial Surgery 28: 1-4. doi:10.1054/jcms.2000.0102 (last accessed 7 February 2006)
Figures and Illustrations
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: http://www.elsevier.com/authors
Tables
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Ensure that each table is cited in the text.
Preparation of supplementary data. Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material (e-components) to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the Author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com
In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit our artwork instruction pages at http://www.elsevier.com/authors
Submitting Case Reports
The purpose of the Case Report is to describe in reasonable detail the application of manual therapy to a clinical use. Cases of particular interest are those of an unusual presentation, rare conditions or unexpected responses to treatment. The following points will assist authors in submitting material for consideration by the Editorial Committee:
昑he Case Report should be between 1500 - 2000 words in length excluding references and illustrations. Longer studies will be considered by the Editorial Committee if of an exceptional quality.
昑he introductory paragraph should provide the reader with an overview of the study in general.
昑he method of presentation to the treating practitioner should be detailed along with the symptoms and their behaviour. A body chart illustrating the symptoms is considered essential.
昑he history (present and past) should be reported. Relevant work and leisure activities should also be presented in this section.
昑he objective examination findings should be detailed in a concise manner.
昑reatment of the condition should be reported along with results. It is essential to clearly state what was done to achieve the reported results.
昑he management of the condition should then be discussed with references to the literature to support what was done. Authors should remember it is a reasoned article rather than a purely factual report.
昑he Case Report should conclude with a brief summary.
昑hree copies of the Case Report are required.
