SharethisPlease do not submit material that has been previously published.
Every submission must include a Conditions for Publication form signed by all authors and the following items in an editable format (Word file, email, etc.).
Title/Cover Page
- Title
- Submission Type—Indicate the type of CTSNet content you are submitting. For example: Thoracic Expert Technique, Video Gallery, Case of the Month, etc.
- Authors—List a maximum of six authors in the order they should appear including for each: first name, family name, and institutional affiliation (department is optional).
- Corresponding Author—Provide the name, e-mail address and telephone number, of the author to whom communications should be directed.
- Announcement Text—300-character (including spaces and punctuation) or less description of the content to be used for an announcement on the CTSNet Home Page.
- Subject/Classification Terms—One or more terms from the CTSNet Content Subject Classification list that identify the primary subject category of the content.
- Disclosure—Include disclosure information if it is applicable.
Text
- Content Format—A Microsoft Word document with figure and video (if included) locations denoted in the text with figure legends at the end of the text.
- Figure/Image—Submit images as JPG files. The size of the files is unimportant, assuming they are of adequate pixel density to render well on the screen. Large files can always be converted to smaller files, so file size should not be a concern of the author, although bigger (600 x 400 pixel range) is preferable to smaller. Images that are embedded in a file, such as a Microsoft Word document, are not acceptable.
- Figure/Video Legends—Each figure and video must have an accompanying explanatory legend and be clearly labeled.
- Video—Videos should be brief and clear and should be prepared as per CTSNet Video Submission Instructions.
Your material must contain no specific patient information and must be HIPPA compliant. For example, patient name or hospital identification numbers should not appear in images of radiographs, slides, or film.
