Please read the entire Instructions for Authors carefully, and comply with all of the guidelines. In order for your manuscript to be considered for publication, the following elements must be completed appropriately:

• The Author Disclosure Declaration (potential conflict of interest) form has been filled out and signed with submission.
• The title page must designate a corresponding author and provide a complete address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
• Use 1-inch margins and double-space throughout. Please use 12 pt. font, preferably Times New Roman.
• Pages must be numbered, beginning with the title page.
• All articles for peer-review must have a structured abstract. (An abstract is also preferred for non-peer reviewed manuscripts.) For an example of a structured abstract, go to: http://jama.ama-assn.org/misc/ifora.dtl#Abstracts.
• References must follow AMA style and abbreviations of journal names must follow those in Index Medicus. Consult the Wisconsin Medical Journal for examples of proper form.
• Figure legends must be typed double space on pages separate from the text and figure. Abbreviations used in the figure must be listed in the legend and all symbols must be explained. All lettering and symbols must be of a readable size—12 pt. is recommended.

Manuscripts will be checked for these items before being sent out for peer review. Non-compliant manuscripts will be returned for modification before being peer-reviewed.
