Trends in Amplification is a journal devoted exclusively to provide comprehensive overviews of a specific topic in amplification, which are of interest to the practicing clinician, student and researcher.
Authors are encouraged to submit review/original manuscripts which are not under consideration for publication elsewhere, to the Journal for review. All manuscripts are subject to peer review to determine originality, validity, significance, and scientific value of the submitted material.
Submitted manuscripts are peer reviewed by members of the Editorial Board or other experts chosen by the Editor. The Editor is responsible for final editing, decisions regarding acceptance, rejection and revisions. Submission of a manuscript to the Journal is taken as evidence that no portion of the text or figures has been copyrighted, published, or submitted for publication elsewhere, unless information regarding previous publication is cited and permission obtained. A copy of any such permissions obtained must accompany the manuscript. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be required to assign the copyright to the Publisher.
All manuscripts and editorial correspondence should be sent to

365 Fifth Avenue,
New York, NY 10016-4309 MANUSCRIPTS: The following materials are to be sent to the Editor: One original and two copies of all submissions typed on 8 ½ X 11 inch paper. One original and two copies of the full set of high quality original illustrations; a diskette with an electronic version of the manuscript, and tables: the author should retain a copy of all the above materials. Desired manuscript length is at least 32 printed pages (approximately 74 double-spaced pages); unless otherwise indicated by the editor. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced with one-inch margins. Use one side of the page only. Headings must be used to designate the major divisions of the paper. Pages should be numbered consecutively at the top of the manuscript. The surname of each author should appear in the upper left corner of each page, followed by a brief running title.
The Chicago Manual of Style is the standard source of style.
TITLE PAGE: Page one should include the title followed by the names and degrees of all authors as they will appear in print. This will be followed by a listing of the Authors’ institutional affiliations. The title page should also include the name, address, telephone number, email, and fax number of the author. The author should cite if the paper was presented orally at a professional meeting, including the name of the meeting, date and place. Credits and grant information supporting the research should also be listed if this study was supported by an agency.
TABLES: Type tables double-spaced on pages separate from the text. Number tables consecutively with text and provide a table number and title for each. Hold length to one standard-sized manuscript page if possible. If a table continues past one page, repeat all heads and stub (left-hand) column. Tables should be numbered in order of citation in the text. Do not use photocopy reduction. Data in tables should not duplicate material in the text or illustrations. It is suggested to have no more than three tables and five figures. |
ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOS: Submit three sets of camera-ready illustrations. Only black and white Illustrations will be printed free of charge. The publisher has the right to limit the number of illustrations. Each figure should have a label on the back indicating top, figure number, and first author. Do not mount.
For graphs, diagrams, line drawings. etc., artwork should be done professionally. Plan these for publication at 3 ¼ inch width (column width).
Labeling should allow for legibility following reduction to column width. Photomicrographs should be cropped to column width (3% in) unless full-page width is required. For electronic versions, authors are advised to submit figures as JPEG or TIFF format and that PowerPoint slides do not transfer well to print.
REFERENCES: References should be cited in the text by author(s) surname(s) and the year of publication, for example: Skinner (1995), or (Skinner, 1995) depending on the content. Two or more works by the same author in the same year should be labeled with suffixes a, b, c, etc., both in the text and in the reference section at the end of the manuscript.
When several references are cited simultaneously in thetext, they should be arranged in chronological order, for example (Smith, 1989; Jones, 1991; Skinner, 1995). Citations with two authors shall be cited as (Smith and Jones, 1994), whereas citations with three or more authors shall be cited as (Smith et al, 1994). Type references double-spaced at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order (unnumbered) according to the surname of the first author. List all authors; the abbreviation “et al” is not acceptable in the reference section. Unpublished data and personal communications should be given in parentheses within the text, not as references. Journal references should be cited as follows: Ricketts TA. (2000). The impact of head and body angle on monaural and binaural performance with directional and omnidirectional hearing aids. Ear Hear 21(4):318-329. Book chapters should conform to the following: Skinner MW, Holden LK, Binzer SM. (1994).
