Transferable Review
This journal works together with Wiley’s Open Access journal Health Science Reports to enable rapid publication of good quality research that is unable to be accepted for publication by our journal. Authors may be offered the option of having the paper, along with any related peer reviews, automatically transferred for consideration by the Editor of Health Science Reports. Authors will not need to reformat or rewrite their manuscript at this stage, and publication decisions will be made a short time after the transfer takes place. The Editor of Health Science Reports will accept submissions that report well-conducted research that reaches the standard acceptable for publication. Health Science Reports is a Wiley Open Access journal and article publication fees apply. For more information please go to https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/23988835.
We look forward to receiving your submission.
2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology (ANE) is an open access journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. The journal publishes original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editor.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
All manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ANEC. Manuscripts sent to editors directly will not be processed.
Original Articles and Reviews
The Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology welcomes original and review manuscripts involving laboratory and clinical studies related to this topic area. Original articles and reviews should not exceed 6000 words.
Case Reports
A case report may not exceed 6 pages, including all typed material (text, references, legends, tables, etc). The abstract for a case report should not exceed 100 words. Reports about one or two cases will be defined as a “case report”.
Letters to the Editor
Letters should not exceed 500 words even if describing a clinical or scientific event. The usual ANE format will prevail. In most instances a letter should be about a specific article that appeared in ANE. A response will be solicited from those authors.
4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION
Style Manuals
The following is a guide to writing scientific papers and provides standard abbreviations for measurements and other scientific terms: CBE Style Manual, prepared by the Committee on Form and Style of the Council of Biology Editors, the American Institute of Biological Sciences, Arlington, VA, 1978.
The manuscript should also follow “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, 3rd Edition.” Ann Intern Med 1988; 108:258–265 and Br Med J 1988; 296:401–405.
Where uniform requirements differ, the ANE instructions prevail. The AMA Style Manual is a useful reference.
Trademarks. If a trademarked or registered item is named, the name(s) and address(es) of the manufacturer(s) or supplier(s), in addition to the generic name, should be supplied.
Abbreviations and measurements. Standard abbreviations should be used for all measurements (see “Style Manuals”). Abbreviations should be minimized. Those used should be defined when they first appear; afterwards they may be used.
Parts of the Manuscript
The manuscript should include a title page, abstract, keywords, complete text, references, tables, figure legends and figures all together in a single electronic file.
Title Page
Some of the following will be duplicated in the electronic submission：
i. A short informative title containing the major keywords. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips);
ii. A short running title of less than 40 characters;
iii. The full names of the authors;
iv. The author's institutional affiliations where the work was conducted, with a footnote for the author’s present address if different from where the work was conducted;
v. Acknowledgments.
vi. Conflict of Interest Statement
vii. Ethics
Authorship
Please refer to the journal’s authorship policy in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on eligibility for author listing.
Acknowledgments
Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section. Financial and material support should also be mentioned. Thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Conflict of Interest Statement
You will be asked to provide a conflict of interest statement during the submission process. See the section ‘Conflict of Interest’ in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on what to include in this section. Please ensure you liaise with all co-authors to confirm agreement with the final statement.
Ethics
You will be asked to provide an ethics statement during the submission process. See the section ‘Human Studies and Subjects’ in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on what to include in this section.
Abstract
The Abstract should be after the title page and numbered page 1. The abstract should be structured with the following headings: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. The abstract should not exceed 250 words. At the end of the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords suitable for indexing.
Text
The text should follow the abstract and begin on a new page, as should references, legends, and tables. The text should include the following main headings: Methods, Results, and Discussion. Do not use a separate heading for Introduction. References should be cited in numerical order, as should tables and figures. Only written Personal Communications may be referenced, and they must be available upon request. Unpublished data may not be used, and references should not be made to abstracts. As a guide for manuscripts, there should be no more than one figure or table for every 750 words.
References
References should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). This means in-text citations should follow the author-date method whereby the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998). The complete reference list should appear alphabetically by name at the end of the paper.
A sample of the most common entries in reference lists appears below. Please note that a DOI should be provided for all references where available. For more information about APA referencing style, please refer to the APA Style website. Please note that for journal articles, issue numbers are not included unless each issue in the volume begins with page one.

ELocators
Articles published in this journal can now be cited using eLocators rather than page numbers. eLocators are unique identifiers for an article that serve the same function page numbers have traditionally served in the print world. The eLocator will become the primary means of citation, just as page numbers have been in the past – a readable and meaningful citation reference. Every article now has a unique identifier (eLocator) instead of a page number. The eLocator appears as the last identifier (e2819) in a citation, replacing the page number. For more information, please visit the Author Services eLocator page here.
Tables
Should supplement not duplicate the text. Should be numbered consecutively in the order of appearance in the text. Each must be given an Arabic numeral and a title, placed at the top of the page. Abbreviations used in a table should be footnoted and explained in alphabetical order. Any material that is not self-explanatory should be footnoted.
Figures and Supporting Information
Figures, supporting information, and appendices should be supplied as separate files. You should review the basic figure requirements for manuscripts for peer review, as well as the more detailed post-acceptance figure requirements. View Wiley’s FAQs on supporting information.
