Manuscripts.
All manuscripts should be submitted by
email to the Editor-in-Chief. MS Word or Word Perfect should be
used for the text. MS Word or MS PowerPoint should be used for figures,
and MS Excel for tables. The review process will make use of electronic
transmission of manuscripts to reviewers.
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced
with 2.5-cm (1-inch) margins on only one side of each A4 (or 8 1/2
x 11 inch) page. Headings, including up to three levels of subheadings,
should be used to designate the major sections of the article. Pages
should be numbered consecutively in the upper right-hand corner.
The surname of the first author should appear on the upper left-hand
corner, followed by a brief running title. Authors are encouraged
to propose up to five names and email addresses of possible referees
for their paper.
Either British or American English may be
used, but the version chosen must be consistent throughout the manuscript.
Title Page.
The first page of each manuscript should include the following:
title of the article, names of all authors in full without academic
degrees, institutional affiliations of each author (superscript
letters should be used to link authors to affiliations), a short
list of key words reflecting the content, a list of acronyms and
abbreviations with their meaning spelled out, and the full postal
address as well as the E-mail address of the corresponding author.
Abstract.
An abstract of NO MORE THAN 150 words should precede each article,
including review articles. The abstract should include the objective
of the study, subjects or materials, methods, results, and conclusions.
Text.
The text of the manuscript should be double spaced and left justified,
with the first line of each paragraph flush with the margin. Paragraphs
should be separated by one double line space.
Acknowledgments.
If the article was presented at a professional meeting, include
the full title, date and location of the meeting. Acknowledgments
grant numbers and supporting agencies should also be listed. This
information should be included in a separate section at the end
of the text, before the references.
Tables.
Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic
numerals and typed on separate pages. Each table should have a brief
but sufficiently detailed explanatory title. All ll tables must
be cited in the text in numerical order.
Figures.
All figures should be numbered consecutively in the order in which
they appear in the manuscript. Legends should be prepared on a separate
page following the main text and tables, and explain each figure
in detail. Most figures, including halftones, can be submitted electronically.
However, if photographs are supplied, they should be 12.7 x 17.7
cm (5 x 7 inch) black-and-white glossy prints, and a label indicating
the author's name, figure number and orientation must be affixed
to the back of each illustration. If color figures are submitted
and accepted, the full cost of printing these in color is borne
by the author. Original artwork should be in the form of camera-ready
artwork or high-quality laser-prints; hand-drawn or crude computer-generated
artwork is unacceptable. Any identifiable photographs of patients
must be accompanied by a release form signed by the patient. All
figures must be cited in the text in numerical order.
References.
The reference system shall essentially follow the Harvard style
(see, for example, http://www.lmu.ac.uk/lss/ls/docs/harvfron.htm)
but with some exceptions, the main one being the use of abbreviated
journal names according to Index Medicus (see http//www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lji.html).
References must be cited in the text using
name(s) of author(s) and year of publication-examples: Anderson
(1995); (Anderson & Jones 1998). When a work has three or more
authors, cite only the first author followed by et al and the year.
The list of references should be in alphabetical order and written
double-spaced on a separate page at the end of the main text.
References to journals should include (in
this order): all authors' names with initials for up to five authors
or, for six or more, the first five authors followed by: et al;
year of publication; article title; journal name in italics, abbreviated
according to Index Medicus; volume number; and inclusive page numbers.
An example is given below.

Dickinson, W, Caider, J.H. & Snead, C. 1995. Target-matched
insertion gain derived from three different hearing aid selection
procedures. J Am Acad Audiol, 6, 425-432.
References to books should include (in this order): authors' names
as above; year of publication; chapter title; editors' names with
initials (as applicable); book title and edition; city; publisher;
year of publication; and inclusive page numbers.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the references
are complete and correct. When a revised manuscript is returned,
authors shall certify that all references cited in the text are
included and quoted correctly in the list of references. Manuscripts
submitted to another publication, but not yet accepted, should be
cited in the text as unpublished data (in parentheses) and not included
in the reference list. References to manuscripts accepted but not
yet published are discouraged, but when they are required should
be included in the reference list, followed by 'in press'.
References should be left justified, with one line space between
consecutive references.
Page proofs. Page proofs are sent by the publisher
to the corresponding author and should be returned with the least
possible delay (usually within 48 hours of receipt).
Reprints.
An order form and price list are sent with the page proofs. Please
allow 4-6 weeks from the date of publication for delivery of reprints.
Authors' responsibility.
