- Please submit your manuscript to ASCI office (office@asci-heart.org) by Sept 30, 2008.
- Please submit your work in three files.
- Title page with information on authors
- Manuscript file with blind title page (title only), abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgements, references, tables, figure legends
- Figure file with all images inserted into a PowerPoint file
- The manuscript file should not include author’s name or name of organization where the author works. Acceptable file formats are pdf, doc, and ppt, and each file should not be any bigger than 10MB in size.
- Please submit original articles only. The Council of Science Editors defines redundant publication as reporting substantially the same work more than once, without attribution of the original source(s). A manuscript that is potentially redundant includes the following characteristics: (1) at least one of the authors has contributed to both or all reports (if there are no common authors, plagiarism is more likely than redundant publication); (2) the subject or study populations are often the same or similar; (3) the methodology is typically identical or nearly so and (4) the results and their interpretation generally vary little, if at all
- The ASCI journal publication TFT and reviewers will review your paper. Manuscript decisions are based on the results of unbiased peer review.
- We will notify you about the acceptance of your paper.
- Then you should upload your manuscript file and figures on http://caim.edmgr.com
- Please refer to the following guidelines of International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging for the preparation of your manuscript.

Electronic versions of your figures must be supplied. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Colour figures can be submitted in the RGB colour system. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier and Helvetica.

We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission.
This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language. |

Manuscripts should be written in standard English, in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (for information about these requirements see: New Engl J Med 1991; 342(6)). Manuscripts should be typed double spaced throughout . With sufficiently wide margins (3-5 cm). All pages (including the tables, figures, legends and references) should be numbered.
Each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter with corresponding author‘s address and telephone number (if possible telefax number and/or e-mail address) and a copy of "Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright". The manuscript should be arranged in the following order: |
 |
- Title of the article, which should be concise but informative.
- Subtitle (this may be used to supplement and thereby shorten an excessively long main title).
- Full name of each author, with highest academic degree(s). (if more than one author, use ’&‘ before the last name). (Authorship. All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. The order of authorship should be a joint decision of the coauthors. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content.)
- Institutional affiliation(s) to which the work should be attributed.
|
 |
Key words: 3 to 6 key words or short phrases, in alphabetical order, that will assist indexers in crossindexing the article and may be published with the abstract. Use terms from the medical subject headings (MeSH) list of Index Medicus.
Abstracts: Of no more than 250 words.
Abbreviations: Arranged alphabetically, only those which are not familar and/or commonly used. |
 |
The text of observational and experimental articles is usually - but not necessarily - divided into sections with the headings Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. |
 |
All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a 'Figure' and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labelled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.).
Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references. |
 |
Each table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript. |

When reporting experiments on human subjects indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) of the World Medical Association (amended in 1975 and 1983), published in ‘Philosophy and practice of medical ethics‘, British Medical Association, 1988. Do not use patients‘ names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in any illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals indicate whether the institution‘s or the National Research Council‘s guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. |
 |
Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. |
 |
Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal multiples. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celcius. Blood pressures should be given in millimeters of mercury. All hematologic and clinical-chemistry measurements should be reported in the metric system in terms of the international System of Units (SI). Editors may request that alternative or non-SI units be added by the authors before publication. |
 |
Manuscripts reviewed and rejected by other journals can be considered on an expedited basis if: the original manuscript is provide together with a revised manuscript, the original reviews are provided, the authors submit a detailed cover letter discussing the original critiques and the way in which the revised manuscript has addressed the concerns. |
