Thank you for agreeing to write for EPDA Plus. We hope the following information will assist you in preparing your article.
EPDA Plus is produced in English and published by the European Parkinson’s Disease Association (EPDA) on a quarterly basis (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter). Subscriptions are free of charge. Subscribers are Parkinson’s disease associations, neurological and not-for-profit organisations, and healthcare professionals (such as nurses, doctors and therapists) who have an interest in Parkinson’s disease.
Subscription details for the EPDA Plus may be found on the subscription page and back back issues may be found in this section of the website.
Guidelines for articles
We value all contributions to the EPDA Plus. Due to lack of space it is sometimes necessary to shorten an article. We reserve the right to edit an author’s work but always endeavour to keep as close to the original as possible. Occasionally it may not be possible to include an article in the next immediate edition of EPDA Plus – where this happens the article will be held for possible publication at a later date.
We reserve the right not to publish articles if they are considered to be inappropriate for the magazine or contrary to the aims of the EPDA. The editorial board’s decision is final.
Guidelines for submitting Image
We are happy to receive images with your article for publication. If an image is relevant and of good quality, we will try our best to include it. However, due to the constraints of the layout, this will not always be possible. Authors should ensure when supplying images for publication that they are not breaching any copyright laws. Authors are responsible for clearing any permissions at their own expense on any copyright materials they wish to include with their article, before submission.
Please refer to the Guidelines for Submitting for more detail. To summarize, all images should be supplied in a digital file format separate from any text document and at a resolution greater than 300dpi at the final print size of the image. A 300dpi image that is small in size (say 5cm x 5cm) will pixellate if we need to stretch the image to fill more of the page. Conversely, a 300dpi image that is large in size (say 10cm x 8cm) may be reduced in physical size and appearance may be reduced in size at our end and without noticeable degradation of detail or quality.
