Guidelines for Authors

Only complete submissions will be accepted

• Each manuscript submitted to FEB must be in its full and completed format as if being submitted to a journal. Therefore, all the pages should be numbered and it should include a title page, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, figures, legends, formatted references and acknowledgements. It should also be free of spelling errors that could easily be checked using spell check.

• If the journal of submission is known, the manuscript should be formatted according to the journal’s instructions to authors (see Useful links).

• Manuscripts should be double-spaced to facilitate editing of the hard copy.

Submission:

All submissions must be accompanied by a completed Submission Form

• Electronic: Send document(s) in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format to Dr. Stephanie Morris at ncieditors@mail.nih.gov.

Authors are encouraged to:

• Complete and return the NIH Fellows Editorial Board Feedback form within 10 days of receipt of the written FEB editorial review.

• Acknowledge the NIH Fellows Editorial Board in any reviewed document upon publication.

Final Report To Authors:

A report of the Editorial Board’s findings will be provided within at least 10 business days of the first submission of a manuscript, and within 7 business days of the second and subsequent submissions. Authors will be notified if any change is anticipated to this schedule. Authors will receive an electronic document containing editorial comments and suggestions for revision.
