Help with getting your monograph online
Getting the text of your monograph online is straightforward
using eyetext's web browser based system. You can also, if you are capable of resizing
and compressing your images appropriately (your local medical
illustration department can probably help you with this) insert your
own images and captions. In fact, you can have complete control
over the layout of your article.
You can access the eyetext monograph editor here.
Instructions for use of the monograph
editor are always accessible via a link within the editor, at the bottom of the editor home page.
Note for authors: If you enter the monograph editor and see no monographs
you have permission to edit, then the monographs need to be set
up for you. You should go this
page, and click on the name of the relevant curator of your
section to send them an email.
If you are having difficulty:
If you are having trouble using the web-based editor,
please contact your section curator for help, or post your question
in the frequently asked questions board. If you prefer, our team
can set up the monograph in the editor for you; you can submit your article to the appropriate
section curator as text and associated images.
Graphs and Figures:
Graphs from Microsoft Excel format can be emailed
with the article; other graphs and illustrations should be saved
as images (see below)
References / Bibliography:
Please provide the abstract reference numbers from
medline (also called 'PMID's) if you can, so that the monograph can link directly
to the abstracts from the article. In the monograph editor you
are invited to enter the reference and the PMID. This remains
editable, so you can add references at any time, and add PMIDs
later if you don't have them at first.
References should listed at the end of each article in standard
format as found in medline(r). The numbers within the text should
be in brackets [e.g. Munster et al (4) found.....], not superscript.
Images:
By far the simplest way of dealing with images
is to put them directly into your monographs from your computer,
using the 'add image' feature, and then place it where you would
like it within the monograph.
If you prefer to post your images to us, we can include it in
the monograph for you. Images can be sent in any form, including
photographs, slides, or negatives. If you can, send in jpeg (name.jpg)
or gif (name.gif) formats. Please do not email large image files
(more than 0.5 MB) since this takes too long to download. Large
or multiple files are best sent on floppy disc, zip disc, or CD-ROM.
[Disks will be returned if required].
Remember that your local medical illustration department will
be able to assist you in preparing images for eyetext. If you
need an illustration there may be a similar picture available
in our database or from somebody accessing the site. If you make
a note within the page that you need an image and include your
email address, chances are that someone will have one they are
prepared to submit. You can also search the eyetext image database for suitable images.
What next?
If you have a question about writing for eyetext.net
