About the journal
The Scandinavian Cardiovascular journal is published by the Society for the Publication of the Key Foundation, Sweden.
The principal aim of the journal is to promote cardiovascular research that crosses the borders between disciplines. The journal is a forum for the entire field of cardiovascular research, basic and clinical, thoracic surgery, transplantation, interventional cardiology and extracorporeal technology. Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal is the official journal for the Scandinavian Association for Thoracic Surgery
Instructions to Authors
Submitted manuscripts should be arranged according to the rules stated in "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals" Ann Intern Med 1997; 126: 36-47, or JAMA 1997; 277: 927-34. The full document is available at www.icmje.org
When submitting a paper, the author should always make a full statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work.
Conflict of interest and funding: Authors are responsible for recognising and disclosing financial and other conflicts of interest that might bias their work. They should acknowledge in the manuscript all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections to the work.
Statistic validity: If statistical data are provided the authors are requested to submit an official statement issued by a certified statistician (with a proper affiliation) regarding the validity of methods used.
Ethics and consent: When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 1983. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in illustrative material. Papers including animal experiments or clinical trials must be accompanied by an approval by the local ethics committee. Please give date of issue and registration number.
Identifying information should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that the patient be shown the manuscript to be published.
Submission
Manuscripts should be sent to the Chief Editor (Cardiothoracic topics) or the Cardiology Editor. Preferably the manuscript should be submitted as e-mail including a letter of submission with an exclusive publication statement and (with) the manuscript as an attachment. In this case all correspondence between authors and editors/editorial board will be based on e-mail until final acceptance. Then, the authors will be asked to send the manuscript by regular mail, including graphs both in high quality printout and on diskette. In addition, a document with statements regarding conflict of interest, scientific responsibility, exclusive publication and assignment of copyright will then be required. Alternatively, a letter of submission with three copies of high quality printouts of manuscript can be sent by regular mail to either of the Editors (depending on the subject).
Manuscripts and illustrations will be returned only if requested and at the expense of the authors. The editorial office will be responsible for proper disposal of manuscripts so that confidentiality is preserved.
Manuscript layout: Type manuscript double-spaced throughout (including title page, abstract, text, references, tables, and legends) on one side only on white paper with 3 cm margins all around. Type the last name of the first author in the upper right-hand corner of each page, including the title page. Arrange manuscript as follows: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) text, (4) references, (5) tables, and (6) legends. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page as page 1 and ending with the legend page.
The average-length original article is 5 printed pages. In manuscript form, this is the equivalent of 20 double-spaced manuscript pages: a title page, 1 page for the abstract, 10 pages of text (2,500 words), 4 tables or illustrations including 1 page of figure legends, and, generally, not more than 20 references (approximately 3 pages).
Title Page: The title should be as short as possible (fewer than 95 letters and spaces) and should indicate the conclusion rather than the theme of study. Avoid abbreviations. Also submit a short title of 40 characters to be used as a running head. Include only the names of the authors directly affiliated with the work and single highest academic degree. The maximum number of authors for original articles is 7. A larger number will have to be justified to the Editor. Include the name and location of no more than two institutional affiliations where the work was actually done. If more than one department or institution are given, indicate which authors are affiliated with each.
If the paper has been or will be presented at an international meeting, provide a footnote giving the name, location, and dates of the meeting.
At the bottom of the page, type "Address reprint requests to Dr . . ." followed by the last name, exact postal address with zip code, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author to whom communications, proofs, and requests for reprints should be sent.
Abstract: Provide a structured abstract no longer than 175 words for an original article. The abstract should be divided into four sections in the following order: Objectives, Design, Results, and Conclusions.
Text: Generally, the text should be organised as follows: Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Cite references, illustrations, and tables in numeric order as they appear in the text. Avoid abbreviations whenever possible. Define abbreviations at first appearance, and avoid their use in the title and abstract. Give all measurements and weights in SI units. Type acknowledgements, including grant and subsidy information or technical assistance, at the end of the text before the references.
References: Identify references in the text using Arabic numerals in parentheses on the line. Do not cite personal communications, manuscripts in preparation, and other unpublished data. Type references double-spaced on a separate sheet. Number consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. The reference should include names followed by initials, full title of article, name of journal, year of publication, volume number and number of first and last page.
For journal article in electronic format use the following style: Morse SS. Factors in the emergence of infectious diseases. Emerg Infect Dis [serial online] 1995 Jan-Mar [cited 1996 Jun 5]; 1(1): [24 screens]. Available from: URL: http://www.cdc.gov\ncidod\EID\eid.htm
Tables: Tables should be typewritten double-spaced on separate sheets, each with a table number (Arabic) and title above the table and explanatory notes and legends below. Provide a key in alphabetic order to each table to identify all abbreviations used; this key should be placed below any explanatory notes. Tables should be self-explanatory, and the data should not be duplicated in the text or illustrations. If a table provides redundant information, it will be deleted.
Early Electronic Offprints: Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of ?5.00 per copy.
Legends: Type legends double-spaced sequentially on a separate sheet. Numbers should be Arabic and correspond to the order in which the illustrations occur in the text. Identify (in alphabetic order) all abbreviations appearing in the illustrations at the end of each legend. Give the type of stain and magnification power for all photomicrographs.
Illustrations: Submit unmounted illustrations as electronic files or high quality printouts. Half tone and colour photos should be professionally drawn or photographed but computer-drawn figures are also accepted provided they are of high quality. Photomicrographs must have internal scale markers, and symbols, arrows or letters should contrast with the background. Figure number and arrow indicating 'top' should be indicated on the back of the illustrations. Costs for colour illustrations must be borne by the authors.
Please keep illustrations as separate files, e.g. EPS, TIFF, JPEG. The colour must be CMYK, not RGB; all fonts must be embedded, and the resolution of images should be of a quality suitable for printing; i.e. files downloaded from web pages are not suitable, they will look acceptable on screen but not when printed. Do not use colour files if black and white only output is required.
Please print out the submittal form, fill in and send it together with your diskette and printed copies to one of the Editorial offices:
