INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
The Annals of Saudi Medicine (ASM), the official journal of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal fostering advances in medical research and practice in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world. The journal also promotes international collaboration that accelerates clinical innovation and medical technological breakthroughs.
The Annals of Saudi Medicine is published bimonthly (6 issues per year), available in both electronic and print formats. It accepts contributions in the forms of original articles, brief reports, systematic reviews, special communications, technical notes, comments on published articles, editorials, what’s your diagnosis?, images in medicine, letters to the editor, perspectives. Case reports (or series) of great clinical significance may also be considered.
The Annals of Saudi Medicine no longer accepts questionnaire and bibliometric studies.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they are original and have not been published (in print or online) or are not under simultaneous consideration by another publication. If an abstract of the work has been previously published or if manuscripts using the same database or relating to the same topic have been published or submitted by any of the authors, this should be disclosed. An abstract published prior to a full report is not regarded as a duplicate publication. Previous publication in another language does not preclude publication in the ASM, but it should be disclosed and permission obtained from the other publisher. Authors who violate these requirements will be subject to an extended publication ban. Accepted manuscripts may not be published elsewhere without the ASM’s permission. We only accept manuscripts submitted online at the Annals of Saudi Medicine ScholarOne Submission System (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/asm). Careful attention to instructions will ensure that initial submission is successful. If you have difficulty, please contact the ASM Editorial Office (asm@kfshrc.edu.sa).
Datasets
In the interest of reader confidence in data presented in the ASM, we now require that datasets used in the study be submitted with the manuscript on initial submission. Any of the common file formats are acceptable (csv, xls, xlsx, sav (SPSS), dta (SAS), but not GraphPad prism, which should be converted to a common file format). If necessary, please include an English translation for variable names in the dataset. For analysis done in SPSS, please also submit the SPSS output report (.spv file) when you submit the manuscript files in ScholarOne Manuscripts-Manuscript Central. Please convert the .spv file to a document format (MS Word for example) before submission. For other software, please submit output reports in addition to the datasets.
We like to check the summary statistics and other values for all papers we publish, and might recommend changes to figures and tables. It is for our internal use only and will not be available to others, including reviewers. If you are concerned about data anonymization, you can take measures to anonymize the data.
Manuscript Preparation
The format of the Annals of Saudi Medicine complies with “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. We encourage the use of reporting guidelines such the CONSORT statement for randomized, controlled trials and the STROBE statement for observational studies (see http://www.equator-network.org/). For human gene nomenclature, consult the recommendations page of the Human Genome Variation Society at http://www.genenames.org/about/guidelines.
Manuscripts, including tables, references, and figure legends, must be prepared using a word processing program. Before submitting a manuscript, create an account on the ScholarOne Manuscripts website. When you submit the manuscript online, a current email address must be provided for all authors.
Abstract
All original articles and brief reports must contain a structured abstract of not more than 350 words for original articles and 300 words for brief reports. Usually, the abstract should be divided into: Background, Objectives, Design, Setting, Patients (or Materials) and Methods, Main Outcome Measures, Sample Size, Results, Conclusions, Limitations, and Conflict of Interest. The subheadings should not be combined. Case reports, reviews, mini-reviews, and special communications should have an unstructured abstract of less than 150 words. Letters to the editor, what’s your diagnosis?, perspectives, images in medicine, editorials, comments on published articles, and technical notes do not require an abstract. When submitting any type of manuscript, please state how many times similar cases have been reported in the medical field.
Manuscript Format
Most original articles have the following format: Introduction (the question the paper intends to answer, what remains unknown, how patients could benefit from the answer); Patients (or Materials) and Methods (study design and methods, operational definitions of major variables, description of the patient or subject population, and laboratory and statistical methods); Results (pertinent findings in a logical sequence with tables and figures as necessary); and Discussion (conclusions based on the findings, evidence from the literature that supports the conclusions, conflicting evidence, applicability of the conclusions, limitations of the study, and implications for future research or clinical applications). Statistics should be described in enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader, with access to the original data, to verify the reported results.
References
List references in consecutive numerical order (the order of citation in the manuscript, Vancouver reference style, and not alphabetically). Once a reference is cited, all subsequent citations should be to the original number. All references must be cited in the text or tables. References to journal articles should be formatted in the style recommended by the National Library of Medicine (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html/). References to material on the Internet should include the date of access. Manuscripts with incorrectly formatted citations will be returned to the author for correction. The author is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references and for their correct textual citation. In-text reference numbers should be superscripted and placed after the period (not in parentheses), as at the end of this sentence.1
Units of Measurement
With the exception of blood pressure, all units of measurement and laboratory values must be expressed in SI units; conventional units may be included parenthetically. The international nonproprietary name should be used for drugs with mention of the trade name on first mention. Authors should consult recent issues of the ASM for examples of appropriate style and format.
Illustrations
Photographs, scientific graphs, and other illustrations should be uploaded as separate files, not embedded in Microsoft Word. The format should be .TIF or .EPS at 300 dpi (dots per inch) or greater resolution (please see http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/about/image_quality_table.html/). File saving options can be found in most software in the ‘Save As’ or ‘Export’ commands under the ‘File’ menu. Save original files in the event that submitted files are not suitable for publication. Graphs must be digitally scanned, if not prepared initially as an electronic file in a scientific graphing program. Simple line and bar charts are usually sufficient. Do not use 3D charts unless the 3rd dimension presents data. The resolution of images prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint (72 dpi) is not usually sufficient for print publication (minimum 300 dpi). Subjects in pictures should not be identifiable. Written permission must accompany any illustration that has been previously published. All illustrations must be numbered as cited in the text in consecutive numeric order. For photomicrographs, the legend should include the original magnification and stain used.
Tables
Tables should be prepared using the table function in Microsoft Word or other software. Verify tabular statistics to make sure they tally and match data cited in the text. Written permission must accompany any tables that have been previously published.
