Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 1981, 5<br />

Information for Contributors<br />

Contributions should be sent to Prosthetics and Orthotics International, National Centre for Training<br />

and Education in Prosthetics and Orthotics, University of Strathclyde, 73 Rottenrow, Glasgow G4 ONG.<br />

In the meantime considerable difficulty and delay is entailed in processing contributions in languages<br />

other than English. Authors are asked to provide three copies of text, tables and figures. Papers are<br />

accepted on the understanding that they may be subject to editorial revision and that no substantial part<br />

has been, or will be published elsewhere. Subsequent permission to reproduce articles must be obtained<br />

from the publishers. Manuscripts should be typewritten in double line spacing on one side of paper only<br />

with margins of 25 mm. Papers must commence with an abstract not exceeding 250 words. On a separate<br />

sheet must be:<br />

(1) Title and short title. The short title should appear at the head of each page and should not<br />

exceed forty-five characters including spaces.<br />

(2) Authors' names, initials and titles. The present address of any author if different from the<br />

place where the work was done, may be shown as a footnote.<br />

(3) Department(s) in which the work was done.<br />

(4) The name and full postal address of the author to whom correspondence and requests for<br />

reprints should be directed. This will appear as a footnote.<br />

Illustrations<br />

All illustrative material should be lightly marked on the back in pencil with the figure number in arabic<br />

numerals, title of paper, authors' name and a clear indication of the top of the figure. The approximate<br />

location in the text should be marked. Figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet. Tables<br />

should be used only when necessary to clarify important points. Each table should be typed on a separate<br />

sheet and numbered consecutively in arabic numerals.<br />

References<br />

References in the text should follow the author/date system for example: Peizer (1971). If there are more<br />

than two authors—Solomonidis et al. (1974). References at the end of articles should be listed on a<br />

separate sheet in alphabetical order of (first) authors' name, as follows: Marx, H.W. (1974). Lower limb<br />

orthotic designs for the spastic hemiplegic patient. Orthotics and Prosthetics, 28(2), 14-20. Journal titles<br />

must be given in full.<br />

References to articles in books should include author, year of publication, article title, book title<br />

edition, editor (if different from author) first and last pages, publisher and place of publication. For<br />

example, Hughes, J. (1975). Recent developments in prosthetics and orthotics. Recent Advances in<br />

Orthopaedics (2) Ed. McKibbin, B., 196-216, Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh.<br />

Reprints<br />

Ten reprints will be supplied free of charge to the first named author. Additional reprints will be<br />

available at cost if they are ordered when the proofs are returned.<br />
