Submission guidelines

Instructions for Authors

Manuscript Submission

All manuscripts are to be submitted in English. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced on 8 1/2" x 11" (DIN A4) paper, with 1" to 1 1/2" margins. The order of the manuscript should be: title page, abstract and key words, text, references, tables, legends, and figures. The original of the manuscript, including figures and tables, etc., should be submitted to the online submission site, Editorial Manager at the following URL:

http://dysp.edmgr.com/

Manuscript Preparation

Title page. The title page should be separate, and should include the article title, the full names and addresses, as well as the degrees, of all authors, and the name of the institution where the work was performed. The names of the authors should appear only on the title page. The reprint address should include the full name and address, including the ZIP code, of the author to whom all reprint requests are to be sent. Please also include the telephone number of this author. It will not appear in the journal. If the author to whom proofs are to be sent is not the one to whom reprint requests are to be sent, please indicate this, giving the full name and address of the author to receive proofs. A short running title should be listed at the top left-hand corner of the title page. Any information about grants or other financial support should be supplied as an unnumbered footnote to the article title.

Abstract and key words. On a separate sheet, a concise abstract of 250 words should be accompanied by about 2-6 relevant key words (index terms).

General articles. General articles are defined as reports of original work, and these contributions should be substantial and valid. Readers should be able to learn from a general article what has been firmly established and what significant questions remain unresolved. Speculation should be kept to a minimum.

Review articles. Review articles are usually solicited. They are expected to fully cover the extant literature concerned with a specific topic. The review should assess the bases and validity of published opinions and should identify differences of interpretation or opinion. The reviewer must be informed in the topic under consideration and must be recognized as competent in judgment and evaluation of its literature.

Research articles. The text of research reports should be organized into a short introduction outlining the main point of the research, a description of the materials, methods, and results, and finally a discussion or conclusion.

CLINICAL CONUNDRUM

Instead of case reports, Dysphagia will now be accepting interesting cases that are a diagnostic and/or a therapeutic clinical challenge in regards to swallowing and transit of food from the mouth to the stomach. Besides descriptive information, one is also encouraged to submit images with case. This section is expected to illustrate the decision making process involved in the diagnosis and treatment of difficult dysphagia problems. The answer will be provided on a separate page in the same issue.

Instruction on submission:

1.                    Short relevant history, physical examination, laboratory tests and initial clinical course. The limit is one typed double-spaced page (12 point, Times New Roman, 1” margin).

2.                    Images are encouraged. These could be clinical, endoscopic, radiographic, manomertic/pH/impedance, and histology. Images should be of high quality (300ppi) in .tif or .jpg formats.

3.                    Answer highlighting important teaching and clinical points should be provided in no more than one typed double-spaced page (12 point, Times New Roman, 1” margin) and cover the pertinent information in the history, physical examination and clinical course correlating these with relevant findings in the investigations and abnormalities seen on the images. An additional high quality image of a follow-up test can be provided.

4.                    A brief discussion of no more than half typed double-spaced page (12 point, Times New Roman, 1” margin) including up to four references.

Abbreviations and terminology. Uncommon abbreviations must be fully identified upon their first appearance in the text. Since Dysphagia is designed for a multidisciplinary audience, authors should avoid jargon specific to only one discipline. Footnotes should be avoided.

Tables. Tables should be numbered with Arabic numbers and titled concisely, and abbreviations used in the table should be defined in table footnotes. Use superscript lower case letters (a, b, etc.) to list footnotes.

Figure legends.

Figure legends should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet. All symbols, lettering, arrows, and abbreviations used in the figures should be defined in the legends.

Illustrations. The journal reserves the right to return illustrations for revision.

Photographs: Three of each should be submitted as unmounted glossy prints. They should be carefully marked on the back with an adhesive label or tape indicating the figure number, top of illustration, and the principal author's name. Several prints to be combined into a single illustration should be mounted on cardboard with permanent adhesive or should be accompanied by a schematic drawing of the arrangement desired. Be sure that they will withstand a reduction to 169 x 226 mm. The Publisher reserves the right to cut apart and rearrange figures that do not fit the page. Such combined prints should all be cropped to square off at the edges to facilitate attractive reproduction.

The journal reproduces radiographs in their original presentation. For example, prints should be submitted with the barium bolus appearing in white. Illustrations of the body should be oriented so that right-sided anatomical structures are on the reader's left; however, head scans should be oriented in the conventional manner, i.e., as if the brain were viewed from the top. Lateral views should be oriented with the facial profile to the reader's left.

Line drawings: three sharp glossy prints should be submitted in a form suitable for reproduction, to allow for a reduction to 81 mm.

Black-and-white halftone drawings: originals and three prints should be submitted and the final size should be indicated. Shooting the original will ensure optimal reproduction and it will be returned as soon as possible. Labels and lines should be on an overlay of the original, properly registered for accuracy.

Size of illustrations. Use the smallest size illustration that can be reproduced with clarity. If possible, prepare artwork so that a 1:1 reproduction is possible. In sizing art, allow for the legend - i.e., do not size the illustration to occupy the entire page space. The dimensions that should be kept in mind when sizing artwork for Dysphagia are:

A full page = a maximum of 169 mm x 226 mm.

A full column = a maximum of 81 mm x 226 mm.

From 1 to 3 mm must be left between figures grouped together.

Original drawings will be returned. Line art and halftone photographs will not be returned unless a request to do so accompanies the author's corrected proofs.

Books for review. The receipt of books submitted for review will be acknowledged. Critical reviews will be solicited and

published at the discretion of the Editorial Board.

Proofs. The author will receive one set of page proofs and photoprints of the halftones for each paper. Separate instructions for proofreading accompany the proofs.

Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print

General

Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.

Vector (line) Graphics

Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.

Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.

No rules narrower than .25 pt.

No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.

Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.

Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics

Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.

Halftone Illustrations

Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.

Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.

Scans*

Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.

Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.

Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.

* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.

Graphics from Videos

Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.

Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE

Video

Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.

No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.

Title Page

The title page should include:

The name(s) of the author(s)

A concise and informative title

The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)

The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author

Abstract

Please provide an abstract of 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.

Keywords

Please provide 4 to 6 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.

Text

Text Formatting

Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.

Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.

Use italics for emphasis.

Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.

Do not use field functions.

Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.

Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.

Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.

Save your file in docx format (Word 2007 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).

Manuscripts with mathematical content can also be submitted in LaTeX.

LaTeX macro package (Download zip, 188 kB)

Headings

Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Footnotes

Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.

Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.

Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.

Scientific style

Generic names of drugs and pesticides are preferred; if trade names are used, the generic name should be given at first mention.

Specific Remark on References:

References should be cited numerically in order of appearance. Abbreviations for periodicals should follow Index Medicus style.
