AHP Journal Guidelines CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS The AHP Journal seeks manuscripts on all aspects of health care development and philanthropy. These include, among others:
Submissions with original research and examples from multiple case studies are strongly encouraged. First-person "success stories" that report on activities and campaigns also are welcome – however, they must be well documented and specific. For example, articles on fundraising activities should cite the cost-per-dollar raised, the number or percentage of donors increased or upgraded, etc. All submissions must be original. Previously published materials (including materials posted on Web sites) or those under consideration by another publication will not be accepted. Association membership is not a prerequisite for submission. Co-authorship is permitted. Authors receive no remuneration or reimbursement for the expense of preparing articles. Articles published in the AHP Journal by individual association members become eligible for annual awards presented by the AHP Journal Advisory Committee. All accepted manuscripts become the permanent property of AHP and may not be published elsewhere without the permission of the author and AHP. Manuscript Information Editorial decisions are based on relevancy and interest to AHP members, quality of writing, editorial balance, and space constraints. Manuscripts should be submitted by e-mail, as well as in hard copy form. When submitting the article as an e-mail attachment, the document must be submitted as a text file. Hard copies of manuscripts should be typed, with each page numbered. Manuscripts should be 1,000 to 2,000 words, or four to ten typewritten, double-spaced pages. In addition, they should be well organized, tightly written, and free of grammatical, spelling, and factual errors. Authors are requested to use endnotes, not footnotes, and to fully note all sources. Graphics and charts should be submitted as separate electronic files (graphics should be saved as JPG or JIF files). Hard copies of graphics and charts should also be provided or imbedded in the document. A cover letter and 50-word biography should accompany all manuscripts. Manuscripts accepted for publication will be edited to AHP’s style and, when necessary, trimmed to fit space constraints. Authors will be sent a proof of their articles prior to publication. Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work, including changes made by Journal editors and approved by the authors. If a manuscript is accepted, the author will then be asked to submit a color photo for publication in the Journal.
