About the journal
Aims and scope
Skeletal Radiology, the official organ of the International Skeletal Society, serves as a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. Although the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities are emphasized, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton each receive appropriate consideration.
The format of the journal consists of two principal sections. One section, approximately one third of the journal, includes a number of short case presentations, including histological sections where relevant and a bibliography of the important references. Many of the cases published are selected from the extensive repertoire of material presented at the annual meetings of the International Skeletal Society, at which members of the society present a series of interesting and instructive proved cases over a three day weekend meeting. In addition, case reports from nonmembers of the Society are published if considered suitable, as determined by the Editor of the section. Nonmembers, therefore, are encouraged to send such cases for editorial consideration. The published cases in this section are selected carefully, not only for their esoteric qualities, but even more importantly, for their inherent value as teaching and, hopefully, learning exercises.The second section, which is approximately two thirds of the journal, is more traditional being concerned with the publication of proffered articles. Their selection is made by the editors-in-chief, who have the input of a distinguished board of editorial consultants, international in scope, representing multiple disciplines concerned with disorders of the skeleton. Although emphasis is placed on manuscripts of a radiological interest, articles submitted in inter-related disciplines are encouraged. It is also stressed that material dealing with all phases of radiology is welcomed. Thus, in addition to conventional diagnostic radiology, proffered subject material may cover nuclear radiology, computerized axial tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging where applicable

(1) Manuscript preparation: Scientific Articles
Papers must be in English and presented in the following order:
- Title page
- Blinded title page
- Abstract
- Keywords
- Text of paper (Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, and Discussion)
- Acknowledgements
- References
- Captions of figures
- Tables
The title page should include:
– A concise and informative title
– The name(s) of the author(s)
– The affiliation(s) and address(es) (including email addresses of all author(s)
– Name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
– Acknowledgments of funding and grants (if any)
Blinded title page: Should contain only the name of the article. Please ensure that no header lines or file names contain the names of any authors or institutions.
Abstract. Should contain a maximum of 250 words, and should be structured in four sections corresponding to the body of the paper: Objective; Materials and Methods; Results; Conclusion. Each section should comprise one paragraph, beginning with the name of the section in italics, followed by a period: Objective. To report examples ...
Keywords. 3-6 keywords are required. Consult the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) database of the National Library of Medicine (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html) for choice of appropriate keywords. NOTE: Selection of Keywords is important for others who may wish to cite your work.
Introduction. State briefly the nature and purpose of the work, quoting the relevant literature. This section should not exceed 400 words.
Material and methods. Include details of clinical and technical procedures.
Skeletal Radiology supports the principles stated in the STARD initiative for studies of diagnostic accuracy (http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/full/226/1/24). Authors should concentrate on providing inclusion and exclusion criteria, method and setting of data collection. Include the beginning and end dates of recruitment. Was the study population a consecutive series? If not, how were they selected? Describe experience and blinding of interpreters. Describe statistical methods for calculating or comparing measures of diagnostic accuracy and methods to quantify uncertainty(confidence interval)
Research Ethics Standards Compliance. All manuscripts dealing with human subjects must contain, in the Material and Methods section, a statement in the first paragraph indicating that the study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board or comparable formal research ethics review committee. If none is present at your institution, there should be a statement that the research was performed following the Declaration of Helsinki principles. There should also be a statement about whether informed consent was obtained from research subjects.
Results. Present these clearly, concisely and without comment. Every item mentioned in Materials and Methods should have a corresponding item(result) in the Results section.
Discussion. Explain your results and relate them to those of other authors; define their significance for clinical practice. The manuscript should end with conclusions.
Conclusions: The conclusions that can be drawn from the investigation should be expressed in two sentences. If the conclusions of the study are complex ,convoluted or controversial so that they cannot be expressed in two sentences the authors may commence with; In summary and sum up in no more than four sentences
References. Only essential references should be cited. If there are six authors or fewer, all should be listed. If seven or more, list the first three and then “et al” the rest. As the Vancouver reference style is used in this journal, the list is not alphabetical, but in order of first appearance in the text. Only numerals should be cited in the text.
Please note that EndNote offers a bibliographic style for Skeletal Radiology to format your references.

References: Should be limited.
Illustrations: Generally none are permitted, however when indispensable, electronic supplementary material may be published online, although not in the printed version.
(5) Manuscript preparation: Test Yourself: Question and Answer
This very brief format is intended for the reader who wishes to test his diagnostic skills and refresh his memory of rare entities. It requires submission of two articles: the “question” and the “answer”. The “question” section should have a title which indicates the presentation, and does not reveal the diagnosis: for example “Painful Suprapatellar Swelling”. It should be followed with a very brief history containing only essential data and generally not more than one or two lines of text. Up to four figures may be submitted, preferably with at least one showing pathology. The figure legends should only indicate the modality (e.g. T2 weighted MRI; Giemsa stain 400X), and should not reveal the diagnosis The “Answer” section should begin with a one line statement of diagnosis, followed by a Discussion of up to 500 words, and no more than 10 references.
(6) Manuscript preparation: Technical Innovations
This section is designated for papers that describe a new or novel diagnostic or therapeutic technique that may be experimental (tested on non-human subjects)or with limited clinical application.
Newer technology, novel applications of existing technology, biopsy and therapeutic procedures are some examples of applications that would be considered suitable for this section. The format should be as outlined for scientific manuscripts.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
