TYPES OF
PAPERS
The following types of articles
will be considered for publication:
?
Reviews
These reviews of clinical
and/or radiologic anatomy are exhaustive studies
(either
original papers or review of
the literature) which must lead to a practical
clinical
application in medicine or
surgery. They should not exceed 20 typed written
pages
and the references should be
limited to 50.
?
Original articles
These manuscripts are of traditional
anatomical research and should not exceed 18
typed written pages and the references
should be limited to 30.
?
Anatomic Bases
of Medical, Radiological and Surgical Techniques
These papers should include
the anatomical study necessary for carrying out a
particular diagnostic or therapeutic
technique and should not exceed 18 typed
written pages and the references should
be limited to 30.
?
Anatomic
variations
Papers in this
category are brief communications of an anatomical
variation
discovered on dissection,
surgical intervention or radiological
investigation. The
case must be a new
finding or very rare and not reported elsewhere.
The
manuscript must include a short
description of the embryological basis for the
variation and its impact from a
practical and clinical point of view. Such reports
must
not exceed 6 typed written pages
with 2 figures, 1 table, and references limited to
10.

Headings
Please use no more

Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at
first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give
additional information, which may include the
citation of a
reference
included
in
the
reference
list.
They
should
not
consist
solely
of
a
reference
citation,
and
they
should
never
include
the
bibliographic
details
of
a
reference.
They
should also not contain
any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered
consecutively; those to tables should be indicated
by
superscript
lower-case
letters
(or
asterisks
for
significance
values
and
other
statistical
data). Footnotes
to the title or the authors of the article are not
given reference symbols.
Always use footnotes instead of
endnotes.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people,
grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate
section
before the reference list. The
names of funding organizations should be written
in full.

TABLES
?
?
?
?
?
All tables are to be numbered using
Arabic numerals.
Tables
should always be cited in text in consecutive
numerical order.
For each
table, please supply a table caption (title)
explaining the
components of the table.
Identify any previously
published material by giving the original source
in the
form of a reference at the end
of the table caption.
Footnotes to tables should be indicated
by superscript lower-case letters (or
asterisks for significance values and
other statistical data) and included beneath the
table body.
REFERENCES
Citation
Reference citations in the text should
be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some
examples:

Surgical and Radiologic
Anatomy
1. Negotiation
research spans many disciplines [3].
2. This result was later contradicted
by Becker and Seligman [5].
3. This effect has been widely studied
[1-3, 7].
Reference list
The list of references should only
include works that are cited in the text and that
have
been published
or
accepted
for publication. Personal
communications and unpublished
works
should
only
be
mentioned
in
the
text.
Do
not
use
footnotes
or
endnotes
as
a
substitute for a reference list.
Reference list entries
should be alphabetized by the last names of the
first author of each
work and numbered
consecutively.
