The purpose of Transplantation Reviews is to deliver in a timely fashion
up-to-date comprehensive reviews of critical scientific practice in transplantation
and to provide discussion papers on controversial
issues
particularly related to ethics in transplantation. Articles on these important
aspects of tissue and organ transplantation will
be of interest to all
clinicians involved in transplantation, including surgeons, nephrologists,
hepatologists, cardiologists, and pulmonologists,
and also to a
wider spectrum of scientists involved in various aspects of transplantation.
Manuscripts are invited but unsolicited
original contributions are
welcomed. Please send 3 copies of your manuscript and illustrations,
as well as a diskette of your manuscript,
to the Editor who has invited
you to contribute. Authors must ensure that the submitted diskette
exactly matches the final version of
the manuscript.
Your manuscript should consist of the following elements, each
starting on a separate page:
• Title page
• Abstract
• Body of manuscript
• References
• Legends
• Figures (with permission for reuse,
if required)
• Tables (with permission for reuse, if required)
• List of abbreviations (if necessary; see last paragraph
of this section)
All parts of the manuscript (including references and legends) should be
typed double-spaced--that is, with a full
line of space after every typed
line. Leave generous margins--at least 1 inch--on both sides and at
the top and bottom of every page.
Your abstract should be approximately
100 (and not more than 200) words. The abstract should describe
the topic, scope, sources reviewed,
and conclusion of your manuscript.
On the TITLE PAGE, please include all of the following information:
- The names, degrees, and
professional affiliations (position, department,
institution, place) of all authors.
All authors should acknowledge financial support
or potential con-
flicts of interest. If there are none, please state "no conflict of
interest."
- The name of the institution
where the work reported was done
("From...").
- Acknowledgement of grant support when appropriate ("Supported in
part by...").
- A complete mailing address (including US zip code or postal code for
other countries) for first proofs and for
reprint requests, as well as
telephone and fax numbers.
All DRUG NAMES cited in the manuscript should be generic, followed
by brand name, manufacturer, city, and state (or country, if not
United States) in parentheses.
Please explain all abbreviations in
parentheses the first time they
are used in the text. If your article includes 4 or more uncommon
abbreviations, please list them on
a separate page so that they can be
positioned under your abstract for easy reference by the reader.
Estimating Manuscript Length
The following approximations are offered to help you calculate
length:
3 - 8½ x 11-inch
pages, double-spaced, with 1.5-inch margins,
in standard 10- or 12-point word processor type
(approximately 250 words per page) =
1 printed page. |
| 35 - references (all lines double-spaced) = 1 printed page. |
| 4 - tables or figures with legends = 1 printed page. |
Examples: A manuscript contains 15 pages of text with 17
references and 6 tables:
| 15 pages of text = |
5 printed pages |
| 6 figures or tables = |
1½ printed pages |
| 17 references = |
½ printed
page
|
| |
7 printed pages |
References
REFERENCE CITATIONS
in the text should be numbered
and consistently enclosed in parentheses or superscripted. References
are listed at the end of the manuscript
in the order in
which they are referred to in the text and numbered consecutively;
they must follow the style of the samples below. No
more
than 80 references should be listed. Please note that manuscripts
in press may be referenced; however, manuscripts that
have been
submitted for publication but not yet accepted should
not be referenced. All references must be complete when the
manuscript is submitted.

Tables and
Figures
All tables and figures must be cited in the text. The appropriate
location of each table or figure should be indicated
in the
margin of the manuscript in pencil.
TABLES are numbered with arabic numerals (Table 1, Table
2) in the order of their citation
in the text. Each table should be
typed (double-spaced throughout) on a separate sheet of paper
and should have a title. Maximum table
width: 144 characters
(ie, letters and spaces). Use spaces, not vertical rules, to separate
columns. Abbreviations should be explained
in a footnote.
ILLUSTRATION LEGENDS are also numbered with arabic
numerals (Fig 1, Fig 2). Legends should be typed doublespaced
on
manuscript paper not attached to the illustrations
themselves. Legends should be sufficiently detailed to allow
understanding without
reference to the text.
ILLUSTRATIONS should be identified (in light pencil on the
back) by the author's name and by figure number.
Top and
maximum cropping should be marked in nonreproducing pencil
(wax China marker).
All illustrations must be submitted as glossy
black and white
prints of original artwork of professional quality, ready for printing.
The author should retain negatives. Photocopied
illustrations
or author's sketches are not suitable for reproduction in the
journal (although photocopies are acceptable as duplicate
copies).
Maximum width of illustrations after reproduction: 6 inches.
Color prints are not acceptable for reproduction as black and
white
prints. PLEASE NOTE: If the author wishes to include
color figures, the cost of color plates must be borne by the
author. The publisher
can provide estimates for this option. Any
problems in covering the cost of figures that must appear in
color should be brought to the
attention of the Editors.
Permission to Reprint
If any illustration or table has been previously published, a
copy of the
letter of PERMISSION to reprint from the copyright
holder must accompany the manuscript. The author is responsible
for any fees that
the copyright holder imposes to borrow
previously published materials. The source of the illustration or
table should be included in
the reference section of the manuscript.
The legend should conclude with "Reprinted with permission"
followed by the reference number
(eg, "Reprinted with
permission.23").
Please be cautioned not to submit the same illustration or
table simultaneously to
two publishers on the assumption that
one article will publish before the other and that the publisher of
the first article will grant
permission for reuse of the material.
Publication of one article may be delayed unexpectedly, necessitating
withdrawal of material from
the other article.
Conflicts of Interest
When authors submit a manuscript, they are responsible for disclosing all financial
and personal relationships that might bias their work. Authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist.
Authors should do so in a separate paragraph that follows the title page, providing additional detail, if necessary, in a cover letter
that accompanies the manuscript.
Proofreading
The corresponding author is sent first proofs and is asked to
proofread them
for typographic errors and return them to the
publisher within 48 hours of receipt. Important changes in data
will be accepted, but authors
will be charged for excessive
alterations in proofs.
Copyright
Authors contributing a manuscript do so with the understanding
that, once it is accepted for publication, copyright in the
article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and
media,
shall be assigned exclusively to the publisher. The author
will be asked to sign a copyright release form to this effect.
The article
cannot be published without this assignment. |
