ABOUT THE FORM
Manuscripts should be as concise as possible (no more than 12 pages long,
including text, illustrations, and References). Only manuscripts written
in English and Spanish will be considered.
They should be organized as follows: title page, running title, summary
and key words, introduction, material and method, results, discussion,
summary and key words in Spanish (the summary translation will be made
in Chile ), acknowledgments, and references. The results and discussion
sections may be combined.
• Title page: should include: title, full name of author(s), institutional
affiliation with complete address, running title not exceed 45 letters
and spaces, and the name, address, phone and fax number, and the e-mail
address of the corresponding author; if this manuscript (or grant) was
subsidized, indicate the sponsorship and the number of the process at
the bottom of the page.
• The summary (structured) should not exceed 300 words and should
be formatted to serve in lieu of a concluding summary. It should refer
concisely to the rest of the paper. Append three to five key words at
the end of the summary (from the Medical Subject Heading from the
Index Medicus).
• Text: Introduction, Material and Method, Result and Discussion.
• Tables and Illustrations: Each table must have a self-explanatory
title, be numbered in order of appearance with Roman numerals, and be
cited at an appropriate point in the text. Tables should present comparisons
of data that are too cumbersome to describe in the text. Illustrations
are numbered with Arabic numeral. The reverse side of each figure should
have the author’s name, figure number, top side of illustration,
reduction requested, and “Review Copy” or “Original”
indicated. Abbreviations used on figures should be defined in the legend
must match exactly those used in the text. If it is necessary, use letters,
numbers or transferable symbols.
• Summary and key words in English (or in Spanish, in case the article
is written in English).
• Acknowledgments.
• References: text references to literature should be arranged chronologically
by author’s last name, following the standards of the journal’s
technical format. Every author should be named in the References. When
there are more than two authors, use the first author’s name and
et al.. When references are made to more than one paper by the same author,
published in the same year, refer them to as a, b, c, etc. along with
the year of publications in parenthesis, only in the first quotation.
The year should be repeated in each citation if the author has more than
one article mentioned.
Follow these examples:
Bustos-Obregón, E. & Esponda, P. Ageing induces apoptosis and
increases HSP70 stress protein in the epididymis of Octodon degus.
Int. J. Morphol., 22(1):29-34, 2004.
Rodrigues, H. Técnicas anatômicas, 2. Ed. Vitória-ES,
Arte Visual, 1998.
• Nomenclature. The terminology should be used according to the
last edition of the Anatomic Terminology, Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria
or the Nomina Anatomica Avium. The terms in Latin can be translated
into the native language (English or Spanish).
• Cost of publications and reprint; Authors are encouraged to submit
color illustrations when the color conveys essential scientific information.
Color reproduction will be subsidized by the publisher, reducing author
costs to US300 per page. (Articles in black and white =US 200).
All articles submitted for publication must be submitted in English. All
articles including the translation of the summary to Spanish will be reviewed
at a rate of US $50- per article. Once approved, articles submitted in
Spanish will be translated to English by the International Journal
of Morphology at a rate of US $100. |
