4. Preparing your manuscript for submission
4.1 Formatting
The preferred format for your manuscript is Word. Word templates are available on the Manuscript Submission Guidelines page of our Author Gateway.
The text should be double-spaced throughout and with a minimum of 75px for left and right hand margins and 125px at head and foot. Text should be standard 10 or 12 point. The font color is black, please do not use colored font. SI units should be used throughout the text.
Only electronic files conforming to the journal's guidelines will be accepted. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are as noted above. It is important that all figures/images and tables are uploaded as separate files and are not embedded into the main text file. Please note that Cephalalgia does not have a file category called "box". The file categories are main body, tables, figures, supporting documents. Please also refer to additional guidelines on submitting artwork and supporting files below.
4.1.2 Title page
The first page(s) of your manuscript no matter the submission category all manuscripts are required to include a title page with the the following information:
Title,
All author names and affiliations,
Corresponding author contact details,
Structured abstract (if applicable to manuscript type),
Trial Registration (if applicable to manuscript type),
Key words.
4.1.3 Structuring your abstract
Given that Cephalalgia is a journal devoted to headache and facial pain, readers are familiar with these diseases. Generally, please avoid platitudes such as "migraine is a disabling disease and/or affects a high percentage of people" in the structured abstract and throughout the manuscript. The journal author guidelines require a structured abstract using 3 or 4 paragraphs without cite of references or abbreviations. Word count is not more than 250 words depending upon the manuscript category.
The manuscript category Viewpoint/Perspective is the only category type that allows for an unstructured abstract of approximately 200 words. All other manuscripts types that require an abstract the authors must structure the abstract. The structured abstract contains headings that are appropriate for the manuscript type.
Any papers received without a structured abstract will be returned to the corresponding author.
4.1.4 Clinical relevance bullet points
In order to ensure that your research is of interest to as wide an audience as possible it is important that you provide two to five bullet points summarizing your manuscript. Bullet points are fragment sentences and not paragraphs.
If your article is clinically based use bullet points with either one of these headings: Clinical Implications or Public Health Relevance. The bullet point box is created by the publisher once the manuscript is accepted and sent to Production. Use bullet points with headings such as Article Highlights or Key Findings for research that is basic science based.
Please include the manuscript bullet points in the main body of the manuscript after the conclusion and prior to the reference list. The authors are required to provide the same bullet points during Step 5 of the manuscript submission process.
4.2 Artwork, figures and other graphics
For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures and graphs in electronic format, please visit SAGE’s Manuscript Submission Guidelines.
Please note that for Cephalalgia the main body of your article should not contain tables or figures.
Figures supplied in colour will appear in colour online and in the print issue. There is no charge for reproducing figures in colour in the printed version.
4.3 Supplementary material
This journal is able to host additional materials online (e.g. datasets, podcasts, videos, images etc) alongside the full-text of the article. For more information please refer to our guidelines on submitting supplementary files.
In some cases, the Editor of the journal may request, on acceptance, that figures/tables are moved to supplementary files if a large number of files appear in the manuscript. In these cases, we ask that the author supplies the items as individual files along with a title and description for all supplementary items.
These supplementary files will not appear in the print version of the journal but will be available as additional files in the online version of the journal.
A full guide on supplementary material can be found here.
4.4 Reference style
Cephalalgia operates a SAGE Vancouver reference style. Click here to review the guidelines on SAGE Vancouver to ensure your manuscript conforms to this reference style.
If you use EndNote to manage references, you can download the SAGE Vancouver EndNote output file.
Please include only one reference list. The source for any table and/or figures should be included in the main reference list and not as separate references.
All tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and cited in the text as Table 1, Table 2 etc. or Figure 1, Figure 2 etc. (Table and Figure should be spelled out in full, not abbreviated).
Examples: figures/tables should be referenced in the text as follows:
Figure 1, or Figures 1 and 2, or Figures 2 to 4, or Figure 1(a) and (b), or Figure 2(a) to (c).
Table 1, or Table 2 and 2, or Table 2 t o4, or Table 1(a) and (b), or Table 2(a) to(c).
Where the figure citation is not part of the sentence it should be placed in parentheses.
4.5 English language editing services
