1. Call Outs in the text

Supplemental Digital Content must be cited consecutively in the text of the submitted manuscript.  Citations should include the type of material submitted (Audio, Video, Figure, Table etc.), should be clearly labeled as “Supplemental Digital Content,” include the sequential list number, and should provide a description of the supplemental content.  All descriptive text should be included in the call-out as it will not appear elsewhere in the text.

Examples:

• We performed many tests on the degrees of flexibility in the elbow (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, which demonstrates the degrees of flexibility in the elbow) and found our results inconclusive.
• Society has found a rising cost in knee replacement surgery (see Table, Supplemental Digital Content 2, which illustrates the rise in cost of knee replacement surgery) since the late 1980's.

2. List of Supplemental Digital Content

A listing of Supplemental Digital Content must be submitted at the end of the manuscript file.  List each supplemental digital content file in the order in which the material is cited in the text.  The items should be numbered to match the call-outs from the text.  Include the SDC number and file type of the Supplemental Digital Content.
