Guidelines for Authors for Submission of an Article to the EONS Newsletter
Labelling Please include your name, work title, and place of employment at the top left of the article. If your article is submitted digitally, please label the file with your last name (i.e. Smith.doc).
Content The EONS Newsletter is distributed to a pan-European audience. Please remember that all readers of the Newsletter are not necessarily native English-speakers: therefore, use language that is easily understood when writing the article. The Editorial Team is committed to publishing articles of clinical relevance provided by authors from all areas of practice. To attain this goal, editorial assistance is gladly provided to assist all potential authors to have an opportunity to publish their work in the Newsletter.
Formatting Type the manuscript double-spaced using Times Roman 12. The title of the article should be in bold using Times Roman 14. Subtitles should be typed using Times Roman 12 and bold. Number manuscript and reference pages consecutively in upper right-hand corner. Please do not use running headings or footnotes. Figures. Figures should be mentioned at least once in the text and they should be numbered consecutively. Tables. Tables generally consist of several columns and the rows within the columns are directly related to each other. Each table should have a short title. Number tables consecutively. Type each table double spaced. Boxes. If the material is to be separated from the text but it is not a table (for example, a checklist, list, or procedure), it will be placed in a box. It should be typed on a separate page and should have a short title. Indicate at the top of the page that the material is to be boxed.
References Please number references consecutively as they are mentioned in the manuscript. The number of the reference should be enclosed in parenthesis at the appropriate place in the sentence. For example: Research should also concern itself with the link between training, perceived competence and actual performance (1).
Please type the reference numbers yourself; do not use any preformatted numbering options in your word processing program because they frequently cause formatting problems at the copy editing stages. Type references double-spaced. Use references of recent origin and latest editions unless of historical value. Proofread carefully. Check spelling of authors' names in the text against spelling in the references. Do not underline journal names and book titles or volume numbers for italics or boldface. Use the style of abbreviations recommended in the latest Cumulated Index Medicus, the Index to Dental Literature, or the International Nursing Index to abbreviate journal titles. If a book or journal article has more than 3 authors, list the first author followed by et al. The reference pages are placed at the end of the main text and numbered as manuscript pages. References should include the full facts of publication as follows: From a book: Author(s) and/or editor(s), title, edition, city in which publisher is located, year of publication, publisher. When essential, add the volume number and page number. Book examples: 1. Kagan BM, Goodhart RS: The vitamins. In Wohl MG, Goodhart RS, editors: Modern nutrition in health and disease, Philadelhia, 1964, Lea & Febiger. 2. Straus A, Kephart N: Psychopathology and education of the brain-injured child, vol 2, Progress in theory and clinic, New York, 1955, Grune & Stratton. From a journal: Author(s), title of article, name of journal (abbreviated without periods), volume number, page numbers, year of publication. In some instances, it is desirable to include month of publication, supplement number, and other information. Journal and periodical examples: 1. Arena JM: The clinical diagnosis of poisoning, Pediatr Clin North Am 17:477, 1970. 2.
