Instructions to Authors
Submission of Manuscripts
□ Three sets of the manuscript and illustrations should be submitted. □ The affidavit following the instructions must be signed by all authors. Infringement or violation of right includes the use of copyrighted materials such as figures or tables, use of photographs which may identify an individual, and quotation of unpublished results or private communications. Written permission must be obtained from the right holder and submitted with the manuscript. □ Type double-spaced (8 or 9 mm spacing between each line, or 3 lines per inch) throughout with 12-point type face, on standard international paper (21.6 × 27.9 cm or 8 1/2 × 11 inch) or A4 paper (21.2 × 29.7 cm) leaving margins of at least 2.5 cm (1 inch). □ Begin each of the following sections on separate pages: title page, abst ract, text, references, figure legends, and individual tables. Number all pages consecutively in this order, with the title page as page 1. Title Page The title page should carry the following: □ Concise but informative title of the article. Chemical formulas or abbreviations should not be used, but long common terms such as names of compounds or enzymes can be abbreviated. □ All authors' full names without academic degrees. □ Full names of the department(s) and institution(s) in which the research was done, together with the location (city, state, and nation). If the article has several authors from different institutions, it should be clearly indicated with which department and institution each author is affiliated. □ Key words, limited to six words or short phrases, taken from Index Medicus or composed by analogy on the same principles. □ A brief running head, not to exceed 60 characters (count letters and spaces). Abbreviations defined in the text can be used.
□ Corresponding author's name, full address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Abstract □ Not exceed 250 words (approximately 1 page of A4) in length. □ State the purpose of the investigation, then describe the study design or experimental procedure, main findings or major contributions, and finally the specific conclusion or recommendation. □ Provide enough information for the Abstrat to be easily understood without reference to the text, and emphasize new and important aspects of the study. Text
□ Avoid nonstandard abbreviations, unfamiliar terms or symbols, and laboratory jargon. Abbreviations should be kept to an absolute minimum; but if necessary, they must be spelled out at first mention. Standard metric units (mm, cm, ml, l, mg, g, msec, sec, min, hr, etc.) can be used throughout without definition.
Structure of Original Articles:
Introduction:
□ Give concise background information relevant to the study and the questions the study seeks to answer. The readers should be able to understand why the study was done. Materials and Methods: □ Describe subjects, materials, and methods used, including experimental design or procedures, in sufficient detail to enable the readers to evaluate and/or reproduce the results. Subjects should be described appropriately to show that the control and experimental groups contained matched subjects. □ Designate drugs by their generic names; but for particular chemicals or equipments, the brand names and locations of the supplier (city, state, and nation) should be given in parentheses. □ Describe statistical methods and details of randomization or blinded observations. Specify the numbers of observations made and individuals who could not be followed up until the end of the study. □ Indicate whether the procedures followed in experiments on human subjects were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 1983. Experimental studies on animals must include a statement that the studies meet appropriate ethical standards of the responsible committee. □ Protect patient anonymity by avoiding details that might identify patients unless essential for scientific purposes. Masking of the eye region in photographs of patients may be inadequate. If identification of patients is unavoidable, written permission should be obtained. Results: □ Include only the data and illustrative materials that are pertinent to the subject of the article. □ Avoid repetition of all the data in the tables or illustrations in the text, but do emphasize or summarize important trends or observations.
□ Avoid duplicate presentation of the same data in both tabular and graphi c forms.
Discussion:
□ Interpret the present data concisely, giving particular attention to the question or hypothesis posed in the Introduction section. Information presented in the previous sections should not be repeated. □ Include discussion of previous works that not only agree but also disagr ee with the present results. □ State the conclusions or recommendations that can be directly drawn from the present results. Logical implications of the present findings for practical applications or future studies are permissible, but unsubstantiated speculations must not be included.
Acknowledgments:
State personal or institutional contributions, and financial or material support. Supply full information for nature of support (technical help, critical review, data collection, and participation in clinical trial), number of grants-in-aid, and name and location of institution or organization.
Other Categories:
Case Reports: Concise case report(s) may be accepted if important and educational.
Technical Notes: New techniques or significant modifications of techniques that are directly applicable to clinical practice or research are considered.
Rapid Communication: A short, concise summary of highly significant findings requiring immediate publication can be submitted. Concentrate on the actual findings, and avoid extensive arguments or general discussion.
Special Topics: Social or ethical items related to neurosurgery, neurology, and neurosciences, such as cost-effective analysis or medical training issues, can be reported.
- Review Articles: A review article providing timely or critical discussion about present status and directions for future research may be prepared at the invitation of or after discussion with the Editorial Board.
References
□ The references cited in the article including figures and tables should be listed in alphabetical order of all authors. A reference to a journal must include the surnames and initials of all authors, complete title of the article, journal name as abbreviated in Index Medicus, volume number, inclusive page numbers, and year of publication (see sample 1). Describe the full name of the journal if it is not registered in the Index Medicus. A reference to a part of a book must include surnames and initials of all authors, complete title of the article or the chapter, surnames and initials of all editors, complete title of the book, edition or volume number, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, and inclusive page numbers (see sample 2). A reference to a book must include surnames and initials of all authors, complete title of the book, edition or volume number, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, and inclusive page numbers (see sample 3). Give the total number of pages as "100 pp" if the whole book is intended. For an article in a non-English language, the title should be translated into English and enclosed in brackets, and the original language indicated in parentheses (see sample 4).

□ All the references should be cited in the article as superscript numbers followed by a closing parentheses. Papers accepted but not yet published can be included in the reference list, designated by the journal name followed by "(in press)," but papers in preparation, unpublished observations, and personal communication should be noted in parentheses in the text.
Figures
□ Three sets of figures, numbered consecutively according to appearance in the text, should be submitted. □ Each figure must be mounted on a separate sheet and covered with a tracing paper. They may either match the width of the column (8.5 cm) or the entire page (17.5 cm). □ Line drawings, photomicrographs, color prints, and halftones should be camera-ready glossy prints. Line drawings and graphs should be professionally prepared. □ Letters, numbers, or symbols must not be applied directly to figures, but should be indicated on the tracing paper. All abbreviations used in each figure should be explained in the legend. □ Titles and detailed explanations (identification of symbols or abbreviations, or mathematical expressions) should be given in the legends, not on the figures. □ Figure legends should provide a brief, self-sufficient explanation of the illustrations. Describe the staining method and original magnification for photomicrographs, and bar measurements for electron micrographs. □ If a figure has already been published, obtain permission to reproduce or modify from the copyright holder, and acknowledge the original source in the legend. □ Color photographs can be accepted if the author is willing to pay for the extra cost (about 60,000 - 80,000 for one page).
Tables
□ Three sets of tables, numbered consecutively according to appearance in the text, should be submitted. □ Type each table on a separate page, supplying a brief title and explanatory footnotes (abbreviations or statistical measures of variations, etc.). All abbreviations used in each table should be explained in the footnotes. □ Each column must carry an appropriate heading, and units in numerical measurements should be added to the column heading in parentheses. Avoid blanks in the body of the table, which should be replaced with informative statements such as "unknown," "not detected," or "not described." □ If data can be described in one or two sentences in the text, do not present them in a table.
