 | Guide for Authors
Homeopathy invites papers for publication. These should be original and not published elsewhere. All contributions are subject to peer review by independent experts and the Editor's decision concerning publication is final. We pay a fee for reviews and also for transcriptions of lectures, seminars, debates etc. A detailed outline is required before we will agree to commission such articles. All material submitted for publication must include a covering letter, personally signed by all authors and a statement of sources of funding (if application) and conflicts of interests.
Manuscript Submission Authors are requested to submit their original manuscript and figures online via http://ees.elsevier.com/homp/. This is the Elsevier web-based submission and review system. You will find full instructions located on this site - a Guide for Authors and a Guide for Online Submission. Please follow these guide lines to prepare and upload your article. Once the uploading is done, our system automatically generates an electronic pdf proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revisions, will be managed via this system.
Paper submissions are not normally accepted. If you cannot submit electronically, please email the editorial office for assistance on journal@trusthomeopathy.org
Papers should be structured as follows: (a) Title page, (b) Abstract, (c) Keywords, (d) Text, (e) References, (f) Figure and Table Legends, (g) Figures and (h) Tables.
Title page. List the title and full names of all the authors' institutional affiliations, the corresponding author's names, full postal address, telephone, fax and e-mail, three to six keywords, suggestions for a short running title.
Text. Use the standard format (Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgements, References). Abbreviations and Contractions should be defined in the text when first used. Homeopathic medicines. The names of homeopathic medicines, books and journals appear in italics; this may be indicated in the manuscripts by underlining. The binomial system and abbreviations are used for homeopathic medicines e.g. Nat-m, Kali-ar. Homeopathy potencies are indicated as 6x, 30c, I M I OM (or cH where the method of dilution is specified).
Clinical Case Histories. Cases should be well presented and concise (maximum of 1500 words per case). Cases should address a specified therapeutic and/or management issue or point of doctrine. Discussion should be critical and reflective rather than doctrinaire. Case analysis (symptom selection, prescribing strategy, etc) should be transparent and well justified. Case histories should discuss the materia medica involved, and the rationale of any differential diagnosis. Case analysis and materia medica should be illustrated with tables and figures where appropriate. Case histories should include adequate follow-up to demonstrate sustained improvement. Documentation and independence evidence should greatly strengthen case reports, and as much such evidence as possible should be presented. This includes results of pathology and other investigations, images (including photographs), physical examination, ability to work and fulfil social roles, school performance, assessments by other health professions and agencies.
References. Only papers closely related to the author's work should be cited. Exhaustive lists should be avoided. References should be numbered according to their first appearance in the text. At the end of the paper they should be listed in numerical order corresponding to the order of citation in the text. The form of references should be:
Journals Name of author(s) followed by initial (if more than six authors, give the first three and add et al), full title of paper, abbreviated title of the journal, year of publication, volume number, page number(s).

7. tables are provided as hard copy as well as on disk.

Permissions Authors must obtain permission to reproduce all maps, diagrams, figures and photographs. As a rule it is necessary to obtain permission for single passages of prose exceeding 250 words, or scattered passages totalling more than 400 words from any one work. Please supply the publisher with full information for all work cited, including author, dates published, publisher and page references. Copyright extends to 50 years after the death of the author or 50 years after publication of a scholarly edition, whichever is longer.
Proofs Contributors are provided with page proofs to read for typesetting errors. Important changes in data are allowed, but authors may be charged for excessive alterations. Proofs must be returned to the publishers within 3 days of receipt. If proofs are not returned within the time period, the Editor will have the right to publish any article without the alterations.
Offprints An offprint order form is sent with the proofs; 25 offprints are supplied (at no charge) to the principal author. Charges for reprints ordered at a later date are necessarily higher.
