In some situations, tables, graphs, and figures can present certain types of information more clearly and in less space than the same information would require in sentence form. This article gives guidance on the preparation and layout of tables and graphs. Sorinola O, Olufowobi O, Coomarasamy A, Khan KS. 2004. Instructions to authors for case reporting are limited: A review of a core journal list. BMC Medical Education 4:4. doi: 10.1186/1472-6920-4-4. Case reports are frequently published in the health-care literature but advice on preparing such reports in "instructions to authors" pages of journals is limited. The advice available to authors of case reports from "instructions to authors" pages of a core collection of 249 journals was surveyed. Data were extracted on items of style and content of case reports, using a piloted data extraction form. Of the journals reviewed, "instructions to authors" pages provided limited and varied information for preparing a case report. There is a need for consensus, and more consistent guidance for authors of case reports. © Copyright 2008 by European Association of Science Editors Top of Page |
