Ethical Approvals
Human Subjects. Experimentation involving human subjects will only be published if such research has been conducted in full accordance with ethical principles, including the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki (version 2002) and the additional requirements, if any, of the country where the research has been carried out. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement that the experiments were undertaken with the understanding and written consent of each subject and according to the above mentioned principles. A statement regarding the fact that the study has been independently reviewed and approved by an ethical board should also be included.
Photographs of People. Head & Neck follows current HIPAA guidelines for the protection of patient/subject privacy. If an individual pictured in a digital image or photograph can be identified, his or her permission is required to publish the image. The corresponding author must either submit a letter signed by the patient authorizing Head & Neck to publish the image/photo, or complete the 'Standard Release Form for photographic consent' available at this link or by clicking the “Instructions and Forms” link on the ScholarOne Manuscripts submission site. The approval must be received by the Editorial Office prior to final acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Otherwise, the image/photo must be altered such that the individual cannot be identified (black bars over eyes, tattoos, scars, etc.). Head & Neck will not publish patient photographs that will in any way allow the patient to be identified, unless the patient has given their express consent.
The Editor reserves the right to reject papers if there are doubts as to whether appropriate procedures have been used.
Animal Study. When experimental animals are used the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort. Experiments should be carried out in accordance with the Guidelines laid down by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the USA regarding the care and use of animals for experimental procedures or with the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC) and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Style
Sources. Webster's Third New International Dictionary (Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster, Inc) should be used for spelling and hyphenation of nonmedical terms, and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary , 27th ed (Philadelphia: WB Saunders) for medical terms. The author is directed to the American Medical Association Manual of Style , 8th ed, for general style. Measure (length, height, weight, and volume) should be reported in units or their decimal multiples. Temperature should be given in degrees Celsius, and blood pressure should be given in millimeters of mercury. All hematologic and clinical chemistry measurements should be reported in the metric system in SI (international system) units.
Numbers. Use numerals for all units of measure and time. Spell out the numbers one through nine only for general usage (eg, "We considered only two possibilities.") Spell out numbers beginning a sentence.
Abbreviations. Use only standard abbreviations. Avoid abbreviations in the title. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first mention in the text. Only standard abbreviations as listed in the AMA Manual of Style should be used without definition.
Manuscript Preparation
Guidelines for Cover Submissions
If you would like to send suggestions for artwork related to your manuscript to be considered to appear on the cover of the journal, please follow these general guidelines.
Title Page. The title page should include (1) a concise and informative title of the article using terms that can be readily indexed; (2) the authors' full names (first name, middle initial, surname) with highest earned degrees; (3) affiliations for each author (department, section, institution, city and state or country where the work was done); (4) acknowledgment of grant support and of individuals who were of direct help in the preparation of the study; (5) identification of meetings at which the manuscript was presented, if appropriate; (6) the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the author to whom correspondence and/or reprint requests are to be sent; (7) a brief running title; and (8) five key words for indexing.
Authorship. All persons designated as authors should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content of the manuscript. Authorship credit should be based on substantial contributions to (1) conception and design or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting of the manuscript or revising it for important intellectual content and, (3) final approval of the version to be published. The Editor may require the authors to justify assignment of authorship. In the case of collective authorship, the key persons responsible for the article should be identified and others contributing to the work should be recognized with proper acknowledgment.
Abstract. Page 2 should include a structured abstract of no more than 150 words, divided into the following subheadings: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.
Text. Manuscripts for Original Articles should be organized in the following format: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Other descriptive headings and subheadings may be used if appropriate. The content of the study should be presented as clearly and concisely as possible. In the methods section, the selection process for observational and experimental subjects should be defined clearly. Identify methods, apparatus (manufacturer's name and address), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. References should be given for discussions of previous studies and for all nonstandard methods used. When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the committee on human experimentation of the institution or in accord with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975 as revised in 1983. For experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution's or the National Research Council's guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. For drugs and chemicals, the generic name should be used at first mention and preferably thereafter. Trade names may appear in parentheses and should be capitalized. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in figures or tables. Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. Reference the statistical methodology employed. Specify any general-use computer programs used.
Clinical Review and Basic Science Review articles should not use the Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion format. Rather, for review articles, please include a brief introduction section, and then label subsequent sections by subject matter.
Present your results in logical sequence in text, tables, and figures. Avoid duplication of data in the text and tables, figures, or both. Emphasize or summarize only important observations. In a discussion, emphasize new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. Avoid repetition and present recommendations. If case reports are necessary to illustrate a point, they should contain only the pertinent information.
All tables and figures should be numbered consecutively at first mention in the text. All data cited in the text should be checked carefully against data in the tables to be sure they correspond. All names cited in the text should be checked carefully against the references to ensure the spelling is correct.
References.
All references should be cited in consecutive numerical order at first mention in the text. Type references double-spaced and list them consecutively not alphabetically. Identify references in the text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals typed as superscripts. References cited only in a table or in a figure legend should be numbered in accordance with a sequence established by the first mention in the text of the particular table or figure. Head & Neck follows the Uniform Requirements for reference style:
Journal article (list all authors when six or less; when seven or more, list only first three and et al.)
King VM, Armstrong DM, Apps R, Trott JR. Numerical aspects of pontine, lateral reticular, and inferior olivary projections to two paravermal cortical zones of the cat cerebellum. J Comp Neurol 1998;390:537-551.
