| The Orthopaedic
Journal at Harvard Medical School |
| Instructions
for Authors |
| FORM: Submissions
should take the form of an organized review or update of academic
activities. This format will provide the opportunity to present data,
summarize background information and discuss recent developments in
the field, rather than simply reprint abstracts of recent work. It
will also allow a summary of multiple areas of research under a single
theme. The language can be relatively informal, but should approximate
that seen in peer-reviewed journals. Please note The Orthopaedic Journal
is not a peer-reviewed publication. |
| LENGTH:
Each contributor or research group will be allotted approximately
4 pages of space in The Orthopaedic Journal. This is the equivalent
of approximately 12 pages of double spaced, size 12 font, typewritten
text including figure legends and references. If more space is needed,
it will be granted on an individual basis by the editorial staff. |
| DATA: Care
must be taken so that citation of unpublished data in the Harvard
Journal of Orthopaedics does not compromise the ability to publish
the work in full in a peer-reviewed journal. Unpublished original
investigations should be referred to in general terms (e. g. trends,
fractions, or percentages) so that future publication of the study
in a peer-reviewed review is not compromised. Mention of unpublished
studies in The Orthopaedic Journal is meant to inform the readership
of current research activities and interests of Harvard faculty. Citation
in this manner represents a type of press release and as such does
not constitute dual publication according to the Uniform Requirements
for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (NEJM 336:309-315,
Jan 23, 1997). See attached. This does not compromise the ability
to subsequently publish the work in its entirety. |
| ILLUSTRATIONS:
Illustrations can be submitted in any form (e.g. Microsoft Excel graphs,
Microsoft PowerPoint slides, *.jpeg files). Preferably, these can
be submitted electronically. |
| STYLE: The
style of the manuscript and bibliography should follow the Uniform
Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (NEJM
336:309-315, Jan 23, 1997). See attached. |
