Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• Submission files are prepared in the correct format:
  a) Main manuscript format: At least line-an-a-half spacing throughout, including the references and figure legends. The submission file is in Microsoft Word document file format.
  b) Tables: Are formatted using the table tool in a word processing program. All tables (including associated title and legend) appear in consecutive numerical order after the references in the main manuscript file. All tables will be inserted into the correct place during the layout stage.
  c) Figures: Must be submitted as separate files (Step 4 of submission process) in accepted format and not embedded in the manuscript.
  d) Supplemental Material: Supplemental material, with the exception of audio and video, should be submitted in a single Word document. The first page of the document must be the journal’s standard cover page, which can be downloaded from http://www.current oncology.com/pages/files/SupplementalMaterialCoverPage.docx. All supplemental material files are to be uploaded in Step 4 of the online submission process.
  e) References must be in the correct format. Articles that are not in the correct format will be sent back to author for correction, which will result in the delay of publication of your article.
• It is understood by the submitting authorship that some manuscripts will be selected to be published in “online-only” format. These decisions are based on the available print pages, and do not reflect the importance of a particular article. All online-only articles are published in full, with a DOI (digital object identifier), and are fully indexed. They will also be listed in the Table of Contents of the hard copy.
• I have read the Information for Authors and about the peer review process for Current Oncology.
