INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Scope
IFMH Inform is the official newsletter of IFM Healthcare, a subgroup
of CILIP's Health Libraries Group. It provides a forum for
information professionals working or interested in health and social
care management and other related topics. The editors invite
articles from presenters of study days and regular authors. We would
also welcome submitted articles on examples of good practice,
research and resources.
Format
Copy should be submitted in Word format (no headings or footers)
or plain ASCII text file either to one of the Editors,
or , or to the Study Day Coordinator who has requested the article.
All articles should have a title, author's name and contact details
(the email address will be published - please let us know if you
wish to withhold this information). Articles should be approx. 2000 words in length
(including abstract).
Abstract
A short abstract
on your article should also be submitted. It should be no more than
150 words in length. Please ensure the abstract is clearly labelled
as such.
References
References should be in the 'Vancouver (author-number) style' (see
http://www.bma.org.uk/ap.nsf/Content/LIBReferenceStyles#Vancouver).
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.
Illustrations, graphs & tables
IFM Inform is printed in black and white. Therefore, all
illustrations, tables and graphs, need to be clear and readable in
black and white.
Proofs
It is not our normal practice to send proofs to authors as very
little copy needs editing. On the rare occasion that this does happen,
copy will be emailed to you for comment. We ask that the copy is
returned within three working days of receipt.
Free copy
Authors will each receive one free copy of the newsletter.
Further information
If you wish to discuss your
submission, please contact either the Study Day Coordinator who
has requested the article, the Editors or the Publicity Coordinator.
