-
Financial support. Identify all sources, public and private of grants and funds in support of the study. Supply the agency name and city, company name and city, fellowship name and grant number
-
Meeting presentation. If the data have been presented at a scientific meeting, state the place, exact date of presentation, and auspices of the meeting;
-
Informed Consent. Manuscripts reporting the results of experimental investigation on human subjects must include a statement to the effect that informed consent was obtained. If the study being reported involved human subjects, human derived materials, or human medical records, please include one of the following statements in the Materials/ Patients and Methods section:

Abstract
The abstract should be no longer than 250 words. As the refereeing process requires blind abstracts, please submit a separate file together with your manuscript, labeled «blind_abstract», containing only the manuscript’s title and abstract, without authors��?names and details.
Keywords
Provide 3 to 6 keywords. Use terms from the Medical Subject Headings list from lndex Medicus whenever possible.
Text
The text of articles must be divided into sections with the headings Introduction, Materials Methods, Results and Discussion.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledge statistical consultation and assistance (when provided by a person different from the Author) in an acknowledgement at the end of the article before the references. Indicate the name, degree and affiliation of the individual.. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from everyone acknowledged by name.
References

Identify references by superscript Arabic numerals (in parentheses) in the text; References used within tables should appear as footnotes in the table legend. The journals��?titles should be abbreviated according to Index Medicus/Medline. All references must be verified by the Authors(s) against the original documents. You may use the reference checking tool available at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/citmatch.html
Cite only published studies as references. Any references (including books or articles) that have been accepted for publication, but not yet published, should have the term "in press" in the reference in place of volume and page numbers. These must be updated prior to publication, if possible. You may also acknowledge "unpublished data" or "submitted" articles within parentheses in the text.

Chapter in a Book
Knochel JP, Jacobson HR. Renal handling of phosphorus clinical hypophosphatemia and phosphorus deficiency. In: Brenner BM, Rector FC, eds. The Kidney. Philadelphia: WB Saunders, 1985; 619-62.
Tables
Each table should have a brief title that is fully understandable without reference to the text and should not offer duplicate information offered in the text. Type each table on a separate sheet; using double spacing. Tables should be created in a Word document using the table tools. Do not format tables as columns or tabs and do not submit tables as figures. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Roman numerals by order of citation in the text. Each table must include title, appropriate column heads and explanatory legends, including definitions of any abbreviation used. References used within tables should appear as footnotes in the table legend.
Figures
For good quality reproduction the Figures must be prepared using applications capable of generating high-resolution TIFF or JPG files (1200 DPI for line drawings and 300 DPI for colour and half-tone images for an average base of cm 12). All tables and figures must be mentioned in the text and numbered in order of appearance. No text should be included as part of the graphic.
Arial font should be used for any lettering or text on a figure. If possible use the same font type and size in all artworks (we recommend Arial 12). If a figure has been published elsewhere, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material. Permission is required, regardless of authorship or publisher, except for documents in the public domain. Do not embed figures in a Word file and to not submit Powerpoint (PPT) figures. Always submit each figure as a separate file.
Figures are published in black and white. For the printing of color figures, author(s) will be charged directly by the publisher. The Publisher charges Authors directly for colour figures included in their manuscript. Colour figure charge is Euro xxx,00 for the first page plus Euro xx,00 for each additional figure. Authors will receive a Colour Charge Form from the publisher together with the Galley proofs, to be signed prior to publication and will be invoiced after publication in print of the Manuscript.
Colour illustrations, graphs and figures
Save your artwork setting it to CMYK in a TIFF or JPG format with a resolution of at least 300 ppi. Artwork for publication should be submitted as EPS or TIFF file formats, which will ensure the best printing results. Any figure containing text should be saved only as TIFF file.
Black and white illustrations, graphs and figures
Convert your original artwork it by setting the colour mode as greyscale and saving it as TIFF file with a resolution of at least 1200 ppi if text is included. If not text is included, set the resolution at a minimum of 600 ppi.
Legends
Type legends double spaced, starting on a separate page with Arabic numerals corresponding to the illustrations they refer to. When symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used to identify parts of the illustrations, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Only on-line submission will be accepted. Submit your manuscript to secretary@jabb.biz
Submit your manuscript as follows:
Manuscript file: submit a Word (.doc) file complete with the title page. Place the figures and tables within the text, where they should be published. This file will be used during the revision process. Submit also copies of any permission needed to reproduce published material or to use illustrations of identifiable subjects. Label the file with the name of the corresponding author.
Tables: include them in the manuscript file.
Figures: submit all figures also as separate files (.JPG or TIFF format) according to the Instructions to Authors. Label figures with the name of the Corresponding Author and Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc
Copyright Transfer Statement: include a digital copy signed by all authors.
Manuscript Processing
An identification code (manuscript number) is automatically assigned when the article is submitted. Use this code in all correspondence. All papers will be reviewed by two or more expert referees. When the reviewing process will be completed, the corresponding author will be notified by e-mail of all comments and final decision.
Manuscripts requiring revision must be re-submitted within two months, unless otherwise indicated. Always include the manuscript code when submitting your revision to the to the Journal office.
PUBLICATION PROCESS
The Editor in Chief accepts the manuscript with the understanding that the authors cooperate in a timely manner with the production process, including any response to future correspondence from the Journal of Applied Biomechanics & Biomaterials or its readers. If accepted, your article will be copyedited, then processed into page proofs, with all figures and tables in place. The publisher will make only minimal style changes. The Production Editor will then send the Corresponding Author pdf proofs by e-mail, together with a notification for manuscript colour charges if applicable, and an Offprint order form. Page proofs should be reviewed by more than one person. and must be returned within 48 hours otherwise they will be corrected by the publisher. The Publisher does not send reminders and responding to the publisher with responses to author queries and requested changes is the corresponding author's responsibility. The Journal reserves final editorial approval for style, format, and grammar.
