Format of Papers

Preparation of manuscripts

The manuscript should be legibly typed in A4 format. All sections of the manuscript must be double-spaced with generous margins. Number each page, including the title page.

Non-Native Speakers of English

Researchers who are not native speakers of English who submit manuscripts to international journals often receive negative comments from referees or editors about the English-language usage in their manuscripts, and these problems can contribute to a decision to reject a paper. To help reduce the possibility of such problems, we strongly encourage such authors to take at least one of the following steps:

Have your manuscript reviewed for clarity by a colleague whose native language is English.

Use one of the many English language editing services that are available. If you need help from scientific editor of Frontiers of Medicine, please contact our editorial office. (E-mail: mojsh@hep.com.cn or fmd@pub.hep.cn; Tel: +86-10-58556319)

The title of the paper should be explicit, descriptive and as brief as possible. The surname and initials of each author should be followed by his or her department, institution, city with postal code and country.

Any changes of address may be given in numbered footnotes.

Please provide a running title of not more than 60 characters and from 3 to 7 keywords.

Please provide e-mail address of the corresponding author at the footnote. Make sure that the manuscript has a contact telephone number on it.

Abstract

The second page of every manuscript must contain only the abstract, which should be a single paragraph.

Please abide strictly by this limitation of length. The abstract should comprehensively but succinctly describe the contents of the paper to the reader, and abbreviations and reference citations should be avoided.

Main text

Headings and subheadings Headings and subheadings should be used throughout the text to divide the subject matter into its important, logical parts. Typical headings include:

Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, Compliance with ethics guidelines, and References.

Introduction It mainly includes the following parts: background of the research through literature citation, the problems or questions needed to be solved, the objectives of the research and the main methods used.

Materials and methods Methods must be described completely enough that other laboratories can replicate results and verify claims. Generally, standard procedures should be referenced, though significant variations should be described. Appropriate experimental design and statistical methods should be applied and described wherever necessary for proper interpretation of data and verification of claims. All novel materials and the procedures to prepare them should be described in sufficient detail to allow their reproduction (e.g., DNA constructs, genetic stocks, enzyme preparations, and analytical software).

Results Results can be described in the text, as well as using tables and figures. Tables and figures should be placed next to the text it is indicated. The text should complement material given in Tables or Figures but should not directly repeat it. Give full details of statistical analysis either in the text or in Tables or Figure legends. Include the type of test, the precise data to which it is applied, the value of the relevant statistic, the sample size and/or degrees of freedom, and the probability level.

Discussion The main purpose of the Discussion, however, is to comment on the significance of the results and set them in the context of previous work. Hypothesis should be rational and evidence-based.

Personal acknowledgements should precede those of institutions or agencies.

Abbreviations Try to restrict the use of abbreviations to SI symbols and those recommended by the IUPAC. Abbreviations should be defined in brackets after their first mention in the text. Standard units of measurements and chemical symbols of elements may be used without definition in the body of the paper.
