Metabolic Brain Disease
|
Metabolic Brain Disease serves as a forum for the publication of outstanding basic and clinical papers on all metabolic brain disease, including both human and animal studies. The journal publishes papers on the fundamental pathogenesis of these disorders and on related experimental and clinical techniques and methodologies. Metabolic Brain Disease is directed to physicians, neuroscientists, internists, psychiatrists, neurologists, pathologists, and others involved in the research and treatment of a broad range of metabolic brain disorders. Topics covered include stroke, epilepsy, myelin disorders, toxic encephalopathies, genetic diseases affecting the brain, alcohol and brain metabolism, neuroendocrinopathies, viral and nonviral encephalitis, nutritional disorders affecting the brain, diseases affecting neurotransmitters, Alzheimer's disease, and aging. |

Instructions to Authors
- Manuscripts, in triplicate and in English, and books for review should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief:
Dr. David W. McCandless Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy Finch University of Health Sciences/ The Chicago Medical School 3333 Green Bay Road North Chicago, Illinois 60064
- Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor-in-Chief will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
- Type double-spaced, and submit the original and two copies (including copies of all illustrations and tables) plus disk.
- Order the elements comprising the manuscript as follows: title page, abstract, key words, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, appendix, acknowledgments, references, tables, figure caption list, and figures. Short communications should comprise a maximum of 6 (journal) pages including references and are limited to 2 tables or figures, and should carry no text headings or subheadings. Abbreviations should be those recommended in the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual. Generic names should be used when referring to drugs.
- A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, author's name (no degree), author's affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author's name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. For office purposes, the title page should include the complete mailing address and telephone number of the one author designated to review proofs.
- An abstract, preferably not more than 200 words (120 for short communication), is to be provided as the second page.
- A list of 4–6 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
- All acknowledgments (including those for grants and financial support) should be typed in one paragraph on a separate page that directly precedes the reference section.
- Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. Photographs should be large, glossy prints, showing high contrast. Drawings should be prepared with india ink. Either original drawings or good quality photographic prints are acceptable. Identify figures on the back with the author's name and number of the illustration.
- Tables should be numbered (preferably with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper.
- List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them by name and year in parenthesis. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include (in this order): last names and initials of all authors, year published, title of article, name of publication, volume number, and inclusive pages. Abbreviations for journal names should conform to those in Index Medicus. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to that used in the journal-illustrated by the following examples:
Journal Article Sipertein, M.D., Unger, R.H., and Madison, L.L. (1968). Studies of muscle capillary basement membranes in normal subjects, diabetic and prediabetic patients. J. Clin. Invest. 47:1973-1999.
Book Himwich, H.E. (1951). Brain Metabolism and Cerebral Disorders, Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore.
Contribution to a Book O'Neil, J.J. and Holtzman, D. (1985). Heavy metal toxicity and energy metabolism in the developing brain: Lead as the Model. In (D.W. McCandless, ed.), Cerebral Energy Metabolism and Metabolic Encephalopathy, Plenum Press, New York, pp. 391-424.
- Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnotes, so that they are set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text.
- After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor's office as a hard-copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information — software, journal name, and first author's last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor's Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard-copy manuscript.
- The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent by the Editor-in-Chief with proofs.
