Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings July 2017 - 392

Style issues: Use generic names for drugs; capitalize any trade names
when they are used. Limit the number of abbreviations in a manuscript,
and do not abbreviate single words, such as intravenous. Spell out all
abbreviations on first usage. Proceedings follows the style guide of the
American Medical Association. As further guidance, prospective authors
are encouraged to consult the "Authors' submission toolkit" (1) and an
article on medical publishing by the editor in chief (2).
MANUSCRIPT PROCESSING
Peer review: All manuscripts are subject to peer review by editorial
board members or other selected reviewers; however, the final decision
as to which articles are published will be made by the editor in chief. At
the time of manuscript submission, authors are encouraged to suggest
reviewers, within or outside Baylor Scott & White Health, and to list
any reviewers they feel should not be used because of potential bias.
If a manuscript was previously reviewed by another journal, authors
should submit those reviews and clearly indicate any revisions that
have been made. Such manuscripts will receive expedited processing,
since they usually will not be sent out for re-review.
Editing: All manuscripts will be edited for clarity and conformity
to Proceedings' style. The corresponding author will have the opportunity to review editing either before or at the page proof stage.
Reprints: Authors can order reprints using the form provided
through an e-mail link from the printer. Reprints are delivered approximately 4 weeks after the issue comes out. All authors receive a
copy of the printed journal, and PDF files of articles are freely available
to the authors and the general public.
JOURNAL POLICIES
Duplicate publication: When submitting the manuscript, provide a copy of any published or submitted article that is similar to
what is being submitted to Proceedings, so that the editor can judge
whether the manuscript in question would be a duplicate publication.
Once manuscripts are accepted, authors transfer copyright to Baylor
University Medical Center at Dallas.
Authorship: All authors listed in the manuscript must have participated in the design or analysis of the project. In addition, all authors
must review the final text and be prepared to take public responsibility
for its content.
Ethical treatment of research subjects: For reports of experimental investigations of human or animal subjects, indicate institutional
review board approval or exemption within the manuscript. Authors
should also explain in the Methods section the procedures followed
to obtain informed consent.
Conflict of interest: Grant support for a particular study must be
indicated on the title page. In addition, authors must communicate to
the editor in the cover letter any affiliations that could be perceived as
potential conflicts of interest. Examples include honoraria, educational

grants, participation in speakers' bureaus, expert testimony, patent
licensing arrangements, consultancies, and stock ownership.
Use of protected health information: Authors should not refer
to patients by name or initials or provide other specific identifying
information, such as Social Security number or medical record number.
Authors are further encouraged to avoid including extraneous social
details about patients. Patient authorization forms are required for
all photographs in which the subject can be identified. For a copy of
Proceedings' full privacy policy, contact the managing editor.
Permissions: Permission is required for reproduction of any material, including figures and tables, that has been published elsewhere.
When submitting manuscripts, provide written documentation that
permission has been obtained or notify the editorial staff of the need
to request permission (providing all necessary source information).
For additional information, please contact Cynthia Orticio,
managing editor, at 214-820-9996 or cynthiao@BaylorHealth.edu.
