Article Type Specifications

Article: An Article is a substantial, in-depth, novel research study of interest to the readership of the journal. The structure an Article should follow is detailed below. Specifications: Unstructured abstract, max. 300 words; main body of text (excluding abstract, tables/figures, and references) not to exceed 3,500 words; max. 6-8 tables or figures; max. 80 references.

Review Article: A Review Article is an authoritative, balanced survey of recent developments in a research field.  Review Articles are regularly commissioned; however, pre-submission enquiries are also welcome. Please contact the editorial office. Specifications: Unstructured abstract, max. 300 words; main body of text (excluding abstract, tables/figures, and references) not to exceed 5,000 words; minimum of 4 tables or figures; max. 150 references.

Perspective: Perspectives are shorter than reviews and provide an opinion-driven perspective on a particular research topic or field of interest to the CDDis readership. Authors should present a (provocative) view that can be supported by data and literature with the goal of sparking debate and stimulating future research avenues. Specifications: Unstructured abstract, max. 300 words; main body of text (tables/figures, and references) not to exceed 2,500 words; max. 2 tables or figures; max. 100 references.

Editorial: Specifications: No abstract; main body of text (tables/figures, and references) not to exceed 1,200 words; max. 1 table or figure; max. 15 references.

Preparation of Articles

House Style: Authors should adhere to the following formatting guidelines

Text should be double spaced with a wide margin.

All pages and lines are to be numbered.

Do not make rules thinner than 1px (0.36mm).

Use a coarse hatching pattern rather than shading for tints in graphs.

Colour should be distinct when being used as an identifying tool.

Spaces, not commas should be used to separate thousands.

At first mention of a manufacturer, the town (and state if USA) and country should be provided.

Statistical methods: For normally distributed data, mean (SD) is the preferred summary statistic. Relative risks should be expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence interval. To compare two methods for measuring a variable the method of Bland & Altman (1986, Lancet 1, 307–310) should be used; for this, calculation of P only is not appropriate.

Units: Use metric units (SI units) as fully as possible. Preferably give measurements of energy in kiloJoules or MegaJoules with kilocalories in parentheses (1 kcal = 4.186kJ). Use % throughout.

Abbreviations: On first using an abbreviation place it in parentheses after the full item. Very common abbreviations such as FFA, RNA, need not be defined. Note these abbreviations: gram g; litre l; milligram mg; kilogram kg; kilojoule kJ; megajoule MJ; weight wt; seconds s; minutes min; hours h. Do not add ‘s’ for plural units.  Terms used less than four times should not be abbreviated.
