Guide for Authors

Manuscripts submitted to the Saudi Journal of Radiology (SJR) should neither be published previously nor be under consideration for publication in another journal. The main article types are as follows:

Articles: Original research manuscripts. The journal considers all original research manuscripts provided that the work reports scientifically sound experiments and provides a substantial amount of new information.
Reviews: These provide concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in each area of research. Systematic reviews should follow the updated PRISMA
Case reports: Case reports present detailed information on the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment (including all types of interventions), and outcomes of an individual patient. Case reports usually describe new or uncommon conditions that serve to enhance medical care or highlight diagnostic approaches.
Letter to the Editor: This represents a short communication to the editor. It is usually submitted to reply to a recent publication in SJR. it can also be on an unrelated topic of interest to the SJR's readership.
Manuscript structure and style
Manuscripts should be prepared using Word and saved in .doc or .docx format. The font type and font size should preferably be Arial or Times New Roman 12 points. The manuscript should be double-spaced and should include page numbers and spellchecked/grammar checked.
For original research articles, the manuscript should include the below items and be organized in the following order:
- Title page: Full title page with acknowledgements and authors’ names and affiliations (upload as a separate file when submitting manuscript).
  - Title: The title of your manuscript should be concise, specific, and relevant.
  - Author List and Affiliations:
    - Authors' full first and last names must be provided. The initials of any middle name can be added. Please read the criteria to qualify for authorship.
    - Authors are encouraged to include ORCID identification numbers next to their names.
- Main text document:
- Acknowledgements: In this section, you can acknowledge any support given which is not covered by the author's contribution or funding sections. This may include administrative and technical support, or donations in kind (e.g., materials used for experiments).
- Figures, Schemes, and Tables:
  - Figures, schemes, and tables should be impeded in the text and at a sufficiently high resolution. Common formats are accepted; however, TIFF, EPS are preferred.
  - Please upload also as a SEPARATE file when submitting the manuscript.
  - All Figures and Tables should be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and must be numbered following their number of appearance (Figure 1, Scheme I, Figure 2, Scheme II, Table 1, ).
  - All figures and tables should have a short explanatory caption.
  - All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Authors should use the Table option of Microsoft Word to create tables.
- References: References must follow Vancouver referencing style.
  They must be numbered in order of appearance in the text (including table captions and figure legends) and listed individually at the end of the manuscript. We highly recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as EndNote, Reference Manager, or Mendeley to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references. We encourage citations to data, computer code, and other citable research material.
