Site makes publishing easier
Have you considered writing an article about a patient education program or tool your facility has implemented, but stopped short because you don’t know where to publish such a piece? A Web site has solved your problem in an orderly fashion. "Instructions to Authors in the Health Sciences," a site sponsored by the Raymond H. Mulford Library/Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, provides information on hundreds of publications listed in alphabetical order.
The instructions to authors under each listing include guidelines for submission of manu scripts. For example, the preferred medium for one publication is a computer disk accompanied by three copies of the manuscript typed double-space. Instructions also include types of manuscripts accepted, article length, style guidelines, proofreading time lines, and the number of complimentary copies received by the author.
Information on the review process of manu scripts is also covered. For example, one publication measures manuscripts according to set criteria, such as soundness of methodology and organization and writing style. The Web site is located at www.mco.edu/lib/instr/libinsta.html.
(Editor’s note: For more information on how to select article topics and write a polished manuscript, see Patient Education Management, October 1999, pp. 111-114.)
