Manuscript Preparation Overview

Authors are advised to review several recently published articles in Radiology to familiarize themselves with Radiology format and requirements. In addition, authors are advised to read two From the Editor articles in the July 2007 issue of Radiology (pp 3–6, 7–11). These explain processing of manuscripts and reviewer evaluation of manuscripts.

The following information will help the author prepare the manuscript for electronic submission to Radiology’s Web-based peer review system, Radiology Manuscript Central. Submit manuscripts to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rad. Contact Manuscript Central via the Get Help Now link on the login screen if you encounter problems submitting electronically. An Online Users Guide is also available.

Submit the full title page separately from the text of document. The text of the manuscript should be submitted as a single document in the following order:

Figure Captions

Do not embed figures in the text document. They must be uploaded individually.

Appendix (if a text document) should be uploaded as part of the Main Body. However, if the appendix is a multimedia file, this will be uploaded separately.
