Submission of Manuscripts
Please click on the "Submission on line" button on top of this page to submit a manuscript, and follow the instructions on how to submit a manuscript.
Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter containing:
a statement by the Authors that the article has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere;
information on prior publication or the submission elsewhere of any part of the work (note: if any of the material in the article has already been published in other than abstract form, enclose a copy of the previous publication);
a statement of financial or other relationships that could lead to a conflict of interest;
a statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all of the authors;
in cases of excessive authorship (more than 6 authors for an original article, or more than 3 for a case report) an explanation of the contribution of each author must be provided;
the letter may also give information regarding the type of article the manuscript represents and why the authors feel it would be interest to the readers of Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology;
The manuscript must be accompanied by copies of permissions to reproduce published material, report sensitive personal information, to use illustrations of identifiable persons, or to name persons for their contributions.
In preparing their manuscripts authors should adhere to the norms laid out in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (JAMA 1993; 269: 2282-6). The style should be clear and concise, and authors not fluent in English should have their paper corrected by a native English speaker, preferably one with a scientific background.
Manuscripts must be typed double-spaced with wide margins (at least 2 cm on all sides). Single-spaced material is not acceptable. Each manuscript should contain in one single file: one page with title, authors names and all affiliations; one page with abstract and key words; text; acknowledgements; references; individual tables; and legends. Number the pages consecutively, beginning with the title page.
