TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS
Research Articles
Research articles should describe your novel original research in a clear, reproducible way. Research articles should be no more than 7000 words, with generally no more than 50 references.
The abstract for research articles should be constructed under the following subheadings:
Objectives;
Methods;
Results;
Conclusions;
More information on preparing your submission can be found here.
You should give sufficient background to your work and the reference list should be representative of the field.
The method should be described clearly.
Any limitations of the work should be addressed and discussed.
The conclusions drawn should be consistent with the results obtained.
The images included should be clear enough such that the work can be understood.
Any ethical approval statements should be included where relevant.
Appropriate statistical analysis of results should be carried out where relevant.
Review Articles and Systematic Reviews
Review articles should provide a broad overview and update on a particular topic, specifically discussing recent research in that area (ca the past 1-3 years). The authors are invited to comment on the state of the field to date and speculate on possible future directions, supported by references.
Review articles should be no larger than 8000 words, typically around 3000 – 6000 words, with 60 – 100 references.
Short Communications
Short communications are brief articles describing original research that is in it’s early stages and not ready to be written up as a full paper. This category encompasses work-in-progress etc and typically follows the structure of a research article.
The abstract for short communications papers should be constructed under the following subheadings:
Objectives;
Methods;
Results;
Conclusions;
More information on preparing your submission can be found here.
Short communications are typically 1000 – 2000 words with 5 – 15 references.
Technical Reports
A technical report is not a hypothesis-driven research report but describes a technique or piece of software of interest to a clinician or researcher in a relevant field of interest.
Technical reports are typically ca. 4000 words with 15 references.
Case Reports
DMFR no longer considers Case Reports for publication.
If you have a case that is unusual and of significant clinical interest, you might want to consider submitting it to a dedicated case reports journal, such as BJR|Case reports. You can read more about BJR|Case reports here.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor should comment on an article that has appeared in a previous issue of DMFR. These will be forwarded to the authors of that article to allow them to reply. If accepted, the letters will be published together.
Correspondence should not, unless absolutely necessary, contain tables or figures.
All authors to a letter must sign it.
No more than six key references should be included.
PREPARING YOUR SUBMISSION
For guidelines regarding word count, figure/table count and references for all DMFR article types see here.
Authors' names and affiliations should not appear anywhere on the manuscript pages or the images (to ensure blind peer-review).
Teeth should be designated in the text using the full English terminology. In tables and figures individual teeth can be identified using the FDI two-digit system, i.e. tooth 13 is the first permanent canine in the right maxilla region.
