Thank you for agreeing to contribute to Skull Base: An Interdisciplinary Approach. Please read these instructions carefully and observe all the directions given. Failure to do so may result in unnecessary delays in publishing your article.
Please indicate the article title, your (and your contributor's) full name, degree, title, academic affiliation, department, and current mailing address (with e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers) on the cover page of your article.
Objectives
Skull Base is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes original articles containing clinical and experimental information of use to the practicing skull base surgeon. The journal draws from the expertise of Anatomy, Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Neuro-Opthalmology, Neuro-Radiology, Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and Plastic Surgery. Highlighting new technologies and surgical innovations in clinical studies, the journal publishes results and significant problem cases. Peer-reviewed articles include original contributions, reviews, case reports and clinical problems relative to the skull base from all medical surgical disciplines.
Manuscripts
Please use a computer to prepare your article. The manuscript should be typewritten and double-spaced using a 12-point font with 1-inch (2.5 cm) margins. Double-spacing must be used for all material, including legends and references. Pages should be numbered clearly and consecutively, with the title page as page 1. Please submit manuscripts in triplicate along with a disk, original figures and any necessary permission letters.
Please note: All manuscripts should be original material not under consideration for publication in any other journal. The following types of manuscripts will be considered for publication:
Original Articles
Original Articles must be in-depth presentations of new clinical or basic science investigations. Original articles should have a 200-word abstract and should be organized in sections with Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and References. Original articles should be approximately 15 pages of typed, double-spaced manuscript.
Case Reports
Case reports should be unique and should illustrate a useful principle in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, or management of skull base lesions. Case reports should be approximately 6 pages of typed, double-spaced manuscript.
Editorial
Editorials should be brief commentary on important or controversial developments in the field of Skull Base.
Problem Cases
The problem case should be a brief, illustrated synopsis of a special case having a diagnostic, therapeutic or complication dilemma. The case will be circulated to appropriate specialists for comments that will be published with the case.
References
These should represent the most recent and pertinent literature available. It is essential that references are thoroughly checked because inaccuracies cannot be detected by the publisher.
References should be cited within the text using superscript numbers and must be cited sequentially (starting with 1, 2, 3, etc.), double-spaced, and at the end of the article in order of citation, using the AMA style. The reference list should not be alphabetized, but should appear in the same sequence as the numbers in the text. For articles having up to six authors, list all. For more than six authors, list three, followed by et al. Please note, as in the following examples, we will not be italicizing book or journal titles (journal titles should be abbreviated as in Index Medicus). Use the following style:
Journals
Greenwood M, Irwin J. The biostatistics of senility. Hum Biol 1939;11:1-23
Books
Stryer L. Biochemistry. 2nd ed. San Francisco: WH Freeman Co; 1981:559-596
Parts of Books
Rice TA, Michels RG. Complications of vitrectomy. In: Little HL, Jack R, Patz A, Forsham PH, eds. Diabetic Retinopathy. New York: Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc; 1983:315-340
Tables and Figure Legends
Data given in tables may be commented upon but should not be repeated in the text. Tables should be typewritten on a separate sheet, appended to the article and given a brief, self-explanatory caption. Figure legends should also be typewritten, double-spaced in a listing and appended to the text.
Illustrations
Original figures must be supplied with your manuscript, as photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. For best results, submit 5" x 7" glossy prints for both line and halftone illustrations. Indicate figure number and, when appropriate, "top" on the reverse side in soft pencil. Never use a pen. All illustrations should be referred to in the text by figure numbers. Wrap illustrations carefully for mailing. Upon publication your illustrations will be returned to you. Do not mount illustrations. Captions for the illustrations should be printed on a separate page and should not be presented on the illustration. All line figures must be black on white background for optimal results. We also require signed patient permission forms for all patient photographs used. If we do not receive signed permission forms, the identity of the patient will be obscured by the Publisher.
When submitting figures or radiographs with arrows, asterisks or arrowheads, the arrows identifying structures should be light on dark background figures. On light background figures, the identifiers should be dark and large. Because figures will be reduced for publication, the identifiers will be reduced and the entire figure will become slightly darker.
Color illustrations are expensive to reproduce and cannot be accepted unless the author is willing to cover the additional production costs incurred. Please check with the publisher for details.
Proofs
One set of page proofs will be sent to you. This affords the opportunity to check the typeset text for typographic and related errors. Elective alterations are difficult to accommodate owing to the associated time and expense of introducing them. Therefore, please ensure that when you submit your manuscript it is accurate and complete. Please correct and return proofs within 48 hours of receipt.
Offprints: Details and prices will be sent to you along with the page proofs. Orders should be sent to the Publisher at the same time proofs are returned.
Diskette Submissions
Hard Copy
Always include a hard (printed) copy of your manuscript with the disk and be sure that the disk and manuscript match precisely. If changes are made to the disk, rerun the manuscript so that it remains a match. Thieme will assume that any marks on the manuscript have not been transferred to the disk. Keep a copy of your files in case the journal editor or Thieme receive a damaged disk. Disks are not returnable.
Platform
PC (Windows or DOS) and MAC disks are acceptable. An OS/2 document should be translated to a DOS equivalent when you save it to disk. 3.5 inch high-density disks are preferred.
Software
Word, WordPerfect, and MacWrite are preferred programs, but any format is acceptable. Put the name of the software, and version, on the disk label (such as, WP 6.0 or MS Word 97). Do not compress the file before you put it onto your disk. Put your name and the filenames on the label, and package the disk carefully for mailing.
Files on the Disk
Your manuscript should be saved as one file. Figures and tables should be saved in separate files. Do not embed tables or figures within the manuscript text file. These require special handling by the typesetter. Ideally, each table should be in a separate file. If you do create figures on the computer then please put each one in a separate file, and indicate on the label the software and version used. Always send a good quality printout of each figure.
Miscellaneous
Keep the layout as simple as possible. We will set your manuscript according to our style-do not try to "present" the document.
- Use hard returns (the Enter key) only at the end of a paragraph, not at the end of a line. Allow lines of text to break themselves in your word processing software. Do not justify your text.
- Use only one space, not two, after periods. Be sure to use double line spacing throughout.
- Use the numeral one key where you intend the number, not the lowercase letter "l". Also, use the zero key, not the letter "O" key.
- Mark special characters (Greek letters, symbols such as less than, greater than, etc.) on the manuscript. Do not use your word processor's program- specific code.
Permissions
NOTE: Owing to problems in obtaining permission to reproduce and store material electronically, authors are requested to avoid the use of previously published material if possible.
Authors who plan to reproduce unaltered illustrations, charts, tables or other previously published material must obtain written permission from the copyright holder (usually the publisher) and send the letter granting this permission with their manuscript. A credit line giving the full source of the material should be included in the manuscript. Necessary permissions must be obtained by the author. When the manuscript is submitted, authors should state whether they have obtained or have applied for permissions. Serious delays to publication can be incurred if this ignored. Even if material from your own published work is to be used, permission must still be obtained from the publisher. Attached is a permissions request form as pdf that can be copied and used to seek permissions.
