ATTENTION! This journal uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author name(s) are not allowed to be revealed to one another for a manuscript under review. The identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa. (For more information please refer to http://www.elsevier.com/reviewers/ peer-review). To facilitate this, please include the following separately:
1. Title page: title in English ; authors’ names ; full addresses.
2. Manuscript: abstract and key words (in English); text body ; references ; tables and titles for tables ; captions for figures. No information identifying the authors (name, address, email, phone number) is allowed in the manuscript file.
3. Figures: each figure (drawings, graphs, color or black and white photos) must be provided in a separate file, one file per figure. Zipped files with one file per figure are accepted.
Language (usage and editing services)
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these).
Submissions of your manuscript in French are also allowed. After acceptation, please note that translation fees will be charged to the authors.
Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing service available from Elsevier's WebShop :
(http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageediting/) or you can ask for reliable translator contacts to the Editor-in-chief.
MANUSCRIPT PRESENTATION
The typed manuscript is presented as follows.
Title page
Title
Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. It must be both in English AND in French.
Authors’ names and institutional affiliation
Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that phone numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
Present/permanent address If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Manuscript
Abstract
Abstract in English must be translated in French as well.
A concise, factual and structured English abstract is required. Abstracts contain 150 to 250 words. They present a brief description of the problem considered and the main conclusions of the work.
Care must be taken to furnish an abstract which can be understood alone, without reference to the body of the text.
For original articles, the abstract has four parts:
1) Objectives; 2) Material and methods; 3) Results; 4) Conclusion; and for the résumé 1) But/Objectif; 2) Matériels et méthodes; 3) Résultats; 4) Conclusion.
For general reviews and updates, the abstract must not exceed 250 words. They must detail the purpose of the review and present the main points.
For case reports, the abstract must not exceed 200 words and must focus on the specific contribution of the illustrative case, the main results, and a conclusion.
Abbreviations and bibliographic references should be avoided. If necessary, references must be cited in extensor without the reference number used in the body of the text.
Keywords
In English AND in French.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using British spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes
Manuscript writing and presentation
Type the manuscript with a word processor using a common font, size 12, and double spacing, one column per page. You can indicate the titles for sections and subsections by number (1.1.1., 1.1.2, etc.) or using a highlighting system (bold face, italics).
The reader should be able to follow the outline easily.
Text body
Original articles should include the following chapters: introduction, materials/patients, methods, results, discussion, conclusion and references.
– Introduction: background information with pertinent references from the literature explaining why the work was undertaken.
– Material/Patients: details based on precise criteria and in compliance with the ethical considerations mentioned above.
– Methods: detailed presentation, particularly concerning reagents used.
– Results: as precise as possible with numerical data when possible. Statistical methodology must be described. Redundancy (table, text, figures) should be avoided.
– Discussion: contribution of the original results by comparison with earlier data in the literature.
– Conclusion: a short conclusion can be provided but only if it provides a supplementary element to the discussion.
Authors are requested to limit text outlines to three levels of sections and subsections.
Care must be taken to submit a clear easily understandable text using concise language. Use clear English, avoiding medical slang. Abbreviations should
be explained at their first appearance in the text and be coherent and invariable. Abbreviations cannot be used in titles and should be avoided in the abstract. To avoid confusion, use a limited number of abbreviations.
The body of the text is followed by the bibliographic references (see references below), then by captions for figures, titles for tables, tables, and figures.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many wordprocessors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Nomenclature and Units
International nomenclature should be used for anatomic terms and international units of measure (for example minute is abbreviated “min” and not “mn”). The generic name of medications, biochemical products and biomaterials should be used (with their brand name in parentheses if needed).
Tables
Each table must be cited in the text as “Table” and numbered with Arabic numerals in the order of citation. A title for the table must be placed above each table. Footnoots for the table should be placed after the end of the table and referenced with lower case letters in the exponent position. Do not use vertical lines. Limit the number of tables. Do not repeat data already presented in the body of the text.
Tables should not exceed one page.
Figures
Do not present figures within the body of the text. All Figures are cited in the text and are submitted in a separate file mentioning with number of the figure and the name of the author. All types of illustrations, graphs, artwork, photos, etc. are called Figures and numbered with Arabic numerals according to the order of citation.
• Care must be taken to use a uniform set of characters in the figure (font, size).
• Use only: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times.
• Submit a separate file for each Figure (the figure caption is placed in the manuscript file, after the list of references).
• Use a logical system to name figure files.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Figures should be in one of the following formats: TIFF (.tif), EPS (.eps), or PDF (.pdf). Avoid Word, Powerpoint and Excel formats. To facilitate the editing process, indicate the number of the figure and the format used, for example:
« fig1.tif », for figure 1 in format TIFF.
The minimum resolution for figures is 300 DPI (dots per inch) for black and white or color photographs and 500 to 1000 DPI for graphs or drawings. High resolution is required for printing. Magnification of an original image reduces resolution (and printing quality). The quality of the final printed image can be determined from the following table. Offset printing requires higher image quality than a desktop printer.
Color artwork
Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF (or JPEG), EPS (or PDF), or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. Please indicate your preference for color: in print or on the Web only. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see
http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions.
Please note: Because of technical complications that can arise by converting color figures to 'gray scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print) please submit in addition usable black and white versions of all the color illustrations.
Illustration services
Elsevier's WebShop :
http://webshop.elsevier.com/illustrationservices offers Illustration Services to authors preparing to submit a manuscript but concerned about the quality of the images accompanying their article. Elsevier's expert illustrators can produce scientific, technical and medical-style images, as well as a full range of charts,
tables and graphs. Image 'polishing' is also available, where our illustrators take your image(s) and improve them to a professional standard. Please visit the website to find out more.
Video data Video material and animation sequences are encouraged to support and enhance your scientific research.
Authors who have video or animation files that they wish to submit with their article are strongly encouraged to include links to these within the body of the article. This can be done in the same way as a figure or table by referring to the video or animation content and noting in the body text where it should be placed. All submitted files should be properly labeled so that they directly relate to the video file's content. In order to ensure that your video or animation material is directly usable, please provide the files in one of our recommended file formats with a preferred maximum size of 150 MB (exceptionally up to 500 MB). Video and animation files supplied will be published online in the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect:
http://www.sciencedirect.com. Please supply 'stills' with your files: you can choose any frame from the video or animation or make a separate image. These will be used instead of standard icons and will personalize the link to your video data. For more detailed instructions please visit our video instruction pages at
http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions. Note: since video and animation cannot be embedded in the print version of the journal, please provide text for both the electronic and the print version for the portions of the article that refer to this content.
Acknowledgements
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
References
The authors are responsible for checking the exactness of the bibliographic references cited.
Citations in the text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
