5.1 Organization of the manuscript

Most articles published in CELLMED will be organized into the following sections: title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, conflict of interest, references, figure legends, and tables. Uniformity in format will help readers and users of the journal.

• Title (150 characters, including spaces)
  The title should be specific to the study yet concise, and should allow sensitive and specific electronic retrieval of the article. It should be comprehensible to readers outside your field. Please also provide a brief "running head".

The corresponding author should also provide a full postal address, telephone, and fax number (including country code), and an e-mail address as a footnote on the title page. We will never amend or correct these sections, please check carefully.
• Abstract
  The abstract should be less than 250 words in length and summarize the question being addressed and the pertinent findings.

• Abbreviation
  The full term should be spelled out at the first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. The abbreviation should be used consistently thereafter.
• Figures
  If illustrations appear in the manuscript, they must be submitted in electronic format along with the rest of the manuscript. Each figure should be submitted as a separate electronic file, and should not be inserted into the file containing the text of the manuscript. For publication, we can only use TIFF, JPEG or postscript (ps) files in PC or Macintosh format, from either PhotoShop or Illustrator software. We cannot accept Freehand, Canvas, PowerPoint, CorelDRAW or MacDrawPro files. These files must be converted to postscript (ps) format.
• Figure Legends
  The aim of the figure legend should be to describe the key messages of the figure, but the figure should also be discussed in the text. An enlarged version of the figure and its full legend will often be viewed in a separate window online, and it should be possible for a reader to understand the figure without switching back and forth between this window and the relevant parts of the text. Each legend should have a concise title of no more than 20 words. The legend itself should be succinct, while still explaining all symbols and abbreviations. Avoid lengthy descriptions of methods.
• Tables
  Please submit tables in Word format at the end of your text document.

  We clearly prefer to receive manuscripts via our online submission system at https://acoms.kisti.re.kr/journal/intro.do?page=logo&journalSeq=J000027 Using this system, authors can upload manuscript files (cover letter, text, and figures) directly to our office and check on the status of their manuscripts during the review process. Please do not submit revisions as new manuscripts.
