QUICK TIPS FOR EASIER MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

New Submissions

If the file size for your figures is large, load a complete pdf of your manuscript. Otherwise, the system will provide you with an error.
You will always need to provide a word doc of your manuscript, regardless of whether you upload a completed pdf of your manuscript and figures.
Upload any In Press Reference, Overlapping Work, and Referenced Abstracts as Supplemental Files.

Revised/Accepted with Style Issues Submissions

If the file size for your figures is large, load a complete pdf of your manuscript. Otherwise, the system will provide you with an error.
If you have to load a completed pdf because of the size of your figure files, you will still need to load the word document (word or wordperfect format) and the correctly formatted digital art (i.e. figures). You will not receive an error if you do this since you have loaded a completed pdf, and the system will not try and convert these other files.
If you have a figure or table in your response to reviewers, this will not show appropriately in the “Response to Reviewers” section of your submission. Therefore, type “See Supplement file” and load your response to reviewers as a supplemental file.

Listed below are steps on how to submit a manuscript online. If you have any questions or would like to see any other quick tips added, please contact the editorial office either by email (hypertension{at}physiology.usmed.edu) or phone (601-815-1667).
