Information for Authors

Manuscripts developed for possible publication in HSR should be submitted via the ManuscriptCentral web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hsr.

Click here for Instructions to Authors.

For additional background consider reading one of the editorials on HSR's Process and guidelines.

Please also review the Policy on Prior Dissemination. NOTE: We expect authors to disclose any prior dissemination including via a website or at national meetings. Many types of prior dissemination venues will not preclude our consideration of the manuscript.

If your article has been accepted for publication in HSR, please download, print and fill out a Copyright Assignment Form.

Beginning in 2007, HSR instituted a policy on disclosure of information about conflicts of interest, pre-review requirements by funders or employers, and authorship and contributorship. While not required at the time of initial submission, authors invited to revise and resubmit will be required to begin these disclosures and these must be completed before accepted manuscripts can be sent to the publisher. See our editorial about the policy for further information.

The corresponding author is required to provide information on the Authorship and Disclosure Form. The form is required at the time that a manuscript has been issued an invitation to be Revised and Resubmitted. Download PDF version for using navigable tabs. Download a Word version  for adding required information.
