Tables:
These should be used at a minimum and designed as simple as possible. We strongly encourage authors to submit
tables as .doc format. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes. Each
table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a
legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Preferably, the details of the methods
used in the experiments should be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be
presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. Cells can be copied from an Excel spreadsheet and
pasted into a word document, but Excel files should not be embedded as objects.
Note: If the submission is in PDF format, the author is requested to retain the same in .doc format in order to aid in
completion of process successfully.
Figures:
The preferred file formats for photographic images are .doc, TIFF and JPEG. If you have created images with
separate components on different layers, please send us the Photoshop files.
All images must be at or above intended display size, with the following image resolutions: Line Art 800 dpi,
Combination (Line Art + Halftone) 600 dpi, Halftone 300 dpi. See the Image quality specifications chart for details.
Image files also must be cropped as close to the actual image as possible.
Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Begin each legend with a
title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text of the
manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.
Figure legends: These should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet
Tables and Equations as Graphics:
If equations cannot be encoded in MathML, submit them in TIFF or EPS format as discrete files (i.e., a file
containing only the data for one equation). Only when tables cannot be encoded as XML/SGML can they be
submitted as graphics. If this method is used, it is critical that the font size in all equations and tables is consistent
and legible throughout all submissions.

Supplementary Information:
Discrete items of the Supplementary Information (for example, figures, tables) referred to at an appropriate point
in the main text of the paper.
Summary diagram/figure included as part of the Supplementary Information (optional).
All Supplementary Information is supplied as a single PDF file, where possible. File size within the permitted limits
for Supplementary Information. Images should be a maximum size of 640 x 480 pixels (9 x 6.8 inches at 72 pixels
per inch).
Proofs and Reprints:
Electronic proofs will be sent as an e-mail attachment to the corresponding author as a PDF file. Page proofs are
considered to be the final version of the manuscript. With the exception of typographical or minor clerical errors,
no changes will be made in the manuscript at the proof stage. Authors will have free electronic access to the full
text (HTML, PDF and XML) of the article. Authors can freely download the PDF file from which they can print
unlimited copies of their articles.

Guide To Authors
The Wounds-UK Journal welcomes articles which reflect the field of wound healing / management in the UK.
Articles which are from authors out with the UK but are relevant to the readers of the Wounds-UK Journal
are also very welcome. We publish literature reviews, original research, clinical audit and practice
development articles. All articles submitted for publication are subject to double-blind, external peer review.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically at http://www.epress.ac.uk/wuk/webform/author.php
or emailed to the Managing Editor at edda.hendry@woundsgroup.com.
Articles should be 20004000 words in length, exceptions will be made where agreed with the Editor. All
manuscripts should be printed double-spaced (including references) on A4 paper.Each page should be
numbered and the authors details only appear on the cover page.
Title page:
The title page should carry: title of article; the names of the authors (with first names); institutional
affiliation of each author; full details of each authors current appointment; name and address and contact
details of the author responsible for correspondence.
Abstract:
An abstract of between 100 and 150 words should be submitted on a separate page giving a brief outline of
the content of the article, including major findings.
Headings/subheadings:
Identify gaps in present knowledge and suggest future initiatives, and recommendations for practice.
Key words:
Conflict of interest:
Authors must declare any conflict of interest. This is any possible interest, financial or otherwise, which may
embarrass the author or the journal if highlighted at a later date. If you feel this applies to you, please
provide a statement to run at the end of the article.
Illustrations/figures:
Provide diagrams, figures, photographs or slides (preferably colour) if appropriate. We can redraw any rough
diagrams and charts. Each figure should have a clear label indicating the number of the figure, authors
name and top of the figure. Authors must gain the necessary permission to reproduce figures/tables/artwork
from other journals or books prior to submitting their manuscripts. Figures should be numbered
consecutively in order of their first citation in the text. You must provide a caption for each figure. It is the
authors responsibility to ensure that they have obtained the relevant permission before submitting clinical
images and that patient consent has been obtained.
Tables:
Type each table double-spaced on a separate sheet. Place references and explanatory matter in footnotes,
not in the heading. Explain in footnotes all non-standard abbreviations that are used in each table. If you
use data from another published or unpublished source, obtain permission and acknowledge fully. Number
tables consecutively in order of citation in the text
Abbreviations are acceptable as long as they are defined at first mention. SI units should be used, except for
measurement of blood pressure (mmHg) and similar.
References:
The Harvard System must be used. Provide full details of the original source of the material used (not cited
in).
In the text
a) Use the name/s and year (Harvard) system for references in the text: As Gray and White (2004) have
shown
b) For 3 or more authors, print the first authors name followed by et al: As Cooper et al (1987) have
shown
Note: et al should never be used to represent just one name Gray et al is acceptable for Gray, White and
Cooper but not for Gray and White.
c) When several references are cited simultaneously the order in the text should be chronological.
b) Print the names and initials of all authors for references with six or less authors, e.g: Gray L, White B,
Cooper D, Rusling J, Guyan R (2004)
For seven or more authors print the first three and add et al: Gray D, White R, Cooper P et al (2004)
c) The sequence for a standard journal article is: author(s); year; title; journal (abbreviated as in Index
Medicus); volume; issue number; first and last page numbers. The layout and punctuation are: Jones B,
Coull C (1989)Burns Treatment. Br J Nurs 2(2): 5561
