The Orthopaedic Journal at Harvard Medical
School is a review and update of academic activities in the Har vard
Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program. It is not a peer-reviewed
publication. The opinions expressed and the accuracy of the data are
the responsibility of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect
the opinion of the editorial staff and the Harvard Orthopaedic Residency
Program.
Unpublished original investigations should
be referred to in general terms (e. g. trends, fractions, or percentages)so
that future publication of the study in a peer-reviewed review is
not compromised. Mention of unpublished studies in The Orthopaedic
Journal at Harvard Medical School is meant to inform the readership
of current research activities and interests of Har vard faculty.
Citation in this manner represents a type of press release and as
such does not constitute dual publication according to the Uniform
Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (NEJM
1997 336:309-315). Nonetheless, authors should be forewarned that
the final judgement on such matters is made by the editor of the
journal to which the final manuscript is submitted.
Submissions to The Orthopaedic Journal at
Harvard Medical School should take the form of an organized review.
The language can be relatively informal. Instead of simply reprinting
abstracts of recent work, the review format will provide the opportunity
to summarize background information and mention recent developments
in the field (including presentations at national meetings, symposia,
personal communications, and published literature) prior to summarizing
the research performed by a Har vard group. The style of the manuscript
should follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted
to Biomedical Journals (NEJM 336:209, 1997). One electronic copy
of the manuscript is sufficient. One set of illustrations can be
submitted in any form (e. g. slides and jpeg files welcome).
