PRS投稿規定 重要部分のみ抜粋・和訳
PRSに論文を投稿するにあたり論文の最終チェックをKCCにお願いしたところ"PRSのフォーマットが全然違う!失望した!"と怒られてしまった・・・日本ではなんとなく書いて提出していたが、KCCはacceptされるためにcareless missを完全になくしてsubmitするのが大切だと口を酸っぱくしていつも言っている。PRS投稿規定 重要部分抜粋原文のHPhttp://edmgr.ovid.com/prs/accounts/ifauth.htm◆SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS→すべての論文はPRS’ enkwellを通して提出することAll new manuscripts need to be submitted on-line through PRS’ enkwell at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/prs/.◆MANUSCRIPT PREPARATIONManuscript Length/Number of Figures★★★*Original Articles, Experimental Articles and Special Topics/Comprehensive Reviews are limited to 3000 words and 20 figure pieces.*Case Reports, Ideas & Innovations and Follow-up Clinics are limited to 1000 words and 4 figure pieces.*Letters and Viewpoints are limited to 500 words, 2 figure pieces, and 5 references.For definition purposes, one figure containing a pre-op and a post-op counts as two figure pieces.→原著論文は3000単語+写真20枚、症例報告は1000単語+写真4枚、レターは500単語+写真2枚→手術前・後の写真は2枚とカウントするA letter of permission is required for any and all material that has been published previously.
