Author Guidelines
Style and Submission Guidelines
Please submit article via e-mail. Include name, address, company, title, and e-mail address.
• Feature articles: 3,500 words maximum, three exhibits and/or sidebars maximum
• Columns: 1,600 words maximum, no exhibits and/or sidebars
• Departments: 2,500 words maximum, two exhibits and/or sidebars maximum
• Bios: At the end of the article the author biography should consist of name, position, affiliation, and an e-mail address where the author can be reached for more information.
• Exhibits: Limit of three exhibits or sidebars. Please send exhibits separately in a TIFF, EPS, or JPEG file with 300-dpi resolution. Exhibits should not be used to validate methodology used to conduct a study, but rather to illustrate the findings (e.g., percentage of respondents who were enrolled in managed-care plans). If detailed data would enhance comprehension of the topic, please direct the reader to other publications or Web sites rather than reproducing the information in an exhibit. Exhibits might be cut, depending on space availability and usefulness to the reader.
• MHS articles do not include reference lists. If detailed attributions are necessary, please incorporate them into the text.
