Instructions to Authors
Watch this video presentation from Pain Medicine Founding Editor Rollin M. Gallagher, MD, MPH, Senior Associate Editor R. Norman Harden, MD, and Resident and Fellow Forum Co-editor W. Michael Hooten, MD, on how to get published in peer-reviewed journals. Presented at the American Academy of Pain Medicine’s 2019 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.
Preparation of Manuscript
Language editing, if your first language is not English, is optimal to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by the journal's editors and reviewers. Manuscripts with numerous errors will detract from the scientific review and are often returned to authors without review and with a request for language editing. Language editing does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication. Further information on language editing services can be found at https://academic.oup.com/journals/pages/authors/preparing_your_manuscript/language_services. Authors are liable for all costs associated with use of such services.
Format and Style Guidelines
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to Pain Medicine. Make sure that your manuscript file is submitted in a MS Word file, double-spaced, typed in 12 point font and has no hard returns at the end of lines. All textual elements should begin flush left with no paragraph indents and two returns after every element, such as titles, headings, paragraphs, legends, etc. Please be sure to keep a backup copy of the file for reference, as accepted manuscripts are not returned.
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
Title Page: The first text page should contain: 1. Title; 2. Full names and affiliations for all authors, including highest academic degree; 3. Full postal address, telephone number, and e-mail address for the corresponding author followed by funding sources, conflict of interest and full disclosure information (see below); 4. Running title of no more than 6 words. Please note that the title page must be included as the first page of your manuscript in the file submitted.
Abstract: A structured abstract must be included as page two for most article types. It must be 250 words or less with the following headings as appropriate: Objective, Design, Setting, Subjects, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. There should be no blank lines between headings, and all heading titles must be bolded. Up to six key words must also be provided with the abstract. Letters, Commentary, Perspective and Editorial submissions should not include an abstract
Research papers, Review papers, and Case Reports/Series should be structured as follows: Title page, as above; Abstract, as above; Introduction; Methods including statistical analyses; Results; Discussion including clinical significance when appropriate; Conclusions; Acknowledgments; Conflict of Interest/Disclosure summary; References; Tables; Table legends; Figures; Figure legends.
For other article types, the above format may be varied between the Introduction and Acknowledgments sections.
Details of Style: Follow guidelines set by American Medical Association Manual of Style, 11th Edition published by OUP. Double-space throughout, including title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, legends for illustrations, and tables. Start each of these sections on a new page, numbered consecutively in the upper right-hand corner,
Drug or Device names: Always use nonproprietary names of drugs, devices, and other products and services, unless (rarely) the specific trade name of a drug is essential to the discussion. In such cases, use the trade name and trademark once in parentheses after first use of the generic name and the generic or descriptive name thereafter.
Abbreviations: Keep abbreviations to a minimum, and define each at its first use. Do not use abbreviations in the abstract.
Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs): Authors are encouraged to provide the RRID for each resource (antibody, organism, tool, etc.) used in a journal article. Where applicable, materials and methods should be described and referenced in sufficient detail for other investigators to repeat the work. If no RRID already exists for the resource, authors are asked to register their resource to obtain an RRID. Please see the following examples of properly cited research resources:
Antibody: Boehringer Cat# 1697 838, RRID:AB_2178887
Organism: Fgf9Eks/Fgf9+ mouse, RRID:MGI:3840442
Cell Line: Coriell Cat# GM03745, RRID:CVCL_1H60If y
Tool: CellProfiler Image Analysis Software, RRID:nif-0000-00280
References: References for Pain Medicine should follow the AMA manual of style. Identify with Arabic numerals inside parentheses. A full list of references should be provided in numerical order, sequentially as they appear in the text. Do not alphabetize. List all authors unless there are more than six. If there are more than six, list the first three then use “et al.”
For abbreviations of journal names, refer to List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus. Accuracy of reference data is the responsibility of the authors.
