SSC Official Communications: Publication Guidelines
Official SSC Communications will be published in JTH as brief manuscripts, without abstract. To be considered for publication these manuscripts must not exceed 2000 words including title, authors and references, or 1500 words if one table or figure is included. The authors must be limited to six.
The cover letter accompanying the manuscript must be undersigned by both the corresponding author and the Subcommittee Chairman.
Additional supplementary material (figures, tables, methods) may be submitted for publication on the JTH web site if the information is directly related to the text and if adequate reference to the supplementary material is made in the text. This material is not limited in length, but it must not be in the form of a full length manuscript.
Manuscripts must be submitted with clear identification as SSC Communications. The Subcommittee Chairman will be responsible for determining the appropriate authors. Manuscripts submitted will be sent by JTH to the SSC Chairman-Elect and Associate Editor of JTH, for review and decision. Communications regarding the progress of SSC manuscripts should be directed to the JTH Editorial Office.
