INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

Adler Museum Bulletin publishes papers in the field of historical research in medicine and allied health sciences. The Museum welcomes original contributions and letters for publication but reserves the right to edit, abridge, alter or reject any material. All articles are sent for refereeing. Authors wishing to reserve copyright to themselves should stipulate this at the time of submission of a manuscript. Photographic and other material will be returned.

Each contributor will receive one set of page proofs for checking. The cost of any additions or alterations to the text at proof stage may be charged to the author. Each author will receive a copy of the Bulletin free of charge.

Manuscripts should be typewritten in English on one side of A4 size paper in double spacing and with margins at least 25mm wide all round. In addition, authors are asked to submit a copy of the text on disk written in MS ?Word? or saved in ?Rich text format.? Do not format the text or use headers and footers. Manuscripts may also be emailed to adler.museum@wits.ac.za. Photographs, if emailed, should be in jpeg or jpg (pc) format, preferably 300dpi.

References are listed at the end of the manuscript and should be indicated in the text by superior numbers and listed at the end of the paper in numerical order. Do not list references alphabetically. References should be set out in the Harvard style, and only approved abbreviations of journal titles should be used. ?Personal communications? and work that is ?in preparation? may be cited in the text, but not in the reference list. However, formal theses and dissertations, even though unpublished, may be listed provided full details are supplied. Do not indent or otherwise format each entry.

Reference examples
Dr Frank had been a member of the 1919 Class, the Tin Templers.1

It did not, however, include anything about osteology, for bones would have doubled in size of The Pocket Gray .2

Direct quotes should be in italics or in inverted commas
Military medicine, surgery, and nursing were matters too important to be left to private charity, however well intended... 3

The tenth edition od Aids to Anatomy appeared in 1940... It had been edited by Professor Stibbe, who, sadly, in 1923 left the University of the Witwatersrand. 4
