The International Journal of Periodontics
and Restorative Dentistry
Author Guidelines
Submit all manuscripts to:
Myron Nevins
The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative
Dentistry
90 Humphrey Street
Swampscott, MA 01907
- Submit three typewritten copies (original and two duplicates).
All materials must be typed double-spaced on one side of
the paper with at least a 1-inch margin all around. All
pages should be numbered. Page 1 must include the complete
names, titles, addresses, and professional affiliations
of all authors. A 75- to 100-word abstract of the article
must also be included.
- Original articles are considered for publication on the
condition that they have not been published or submitted
for publication elsewhere.
- The publisher reserves the right to edit all manuscripts
to fit the space available and to ensure conciseness, clarity,
and stylistic consistency. Titles of articles should be
descriptive, but as concise as possible.
- The Journal will publish articles concerned with all aspects
of clinical periodontolgy, restorative dentistry, and implantology.
This includes pertinent research as well as clinical methodology
(their interdependence and relationship should be addressed
where applicable); proceedings of pertinent symposia or
conferences; and quality review papers.
- Manuscripts will be reviewed by the editors and the editorial
staff consultants with expertise in the field that encompasses
the article.
- When a manuscript is accepted, authors will be asked to
supply a diskette containing a "clean" verison
of the final manuscript. This version should be free of
tabs and formatting codes (eg, do not use different type
sizes, type styles, centering, justification, bold, italic,
etc). The diskette should be labeled with the first author's
name and shortened article title, as well as the software
used. Both Macintosh and PC diskettes will be accepted,
with preference for the former.
- After acceptance of the manuscript in the English language
version, authors whose native language is one of those in
which the journal is translated (French, Japanese, German,
Italian) are also requested to submit two hard copies in
their language to the publisher of the relative country
(addresses can be found on the masthead page of the English
journal). This will guarantee a perfect translation of their
work and avoid possible misinterpretation.
Illustrations
Color illustrations may be submitted in instances where their
use contributes significantly to the value of the article.
No charge will be made for such illustrations. Kodachrome
transparencies of good quality should be submitted along with
one duplicate. If arrows, letters, or numbers need to be added
to the transparencies, submit black-and-white or colored prints
of each transparency with the appropriate labels drawn. Handle
all illustration materials carefully. Do not bend, fold, tape,
or use paper clips. On each slide and on the back of each
photograph, place a label with the author's last name and
the correct figure number. Indicate the correct orientation.
All photographs should be numbered and cited in order in the
text. Original radiographs should be submitted. If originals
cannot be supplied, send clear, sharp prints from originals.
- Drawings: Figures, charts, graphs, etc, should
be professionally drawn and lettered large enough in india
ink to be read after reduction.
- Legends: There should be an individual legend for
each illustration. Figure legends should be typed as a group
on a separate page. Detailed captions are encouraged. For
photomicrographs, specify magnification and stain.
- Tables: Each table should be logically organized,
typed on a separate page, and numbered consecutively. Table
title and footnotes should be typed on the same page as
the table.
References
- Type on a separate page.
- Cite all references numerically, in order of appearance
in the text.
- Limit references to those specifically referred to in
the text.
- Use the following style for the reference list:
