About the journal
'Audiology and Neurotology' provides a forum for the publication of the most-advanced and rigorous scientific research related to the basic science and clinical aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal seeks submission of cutting edge research opening up new and innovative fields of study that may improve our understanding and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems, their central connections and their perception in the central nervous system. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines.
Published online first
All articles are published electronically ahead of print with the definite citation line. Thus, an article will be available online shortly after the author's approval to print.

Conditions
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration or have been rejected by any other publication.
Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Audiology and Neurotology’ and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
Research involving live human and animal subjects must have been approved by the author’s institutional review board. All clinical investigations must have been conducted according to the principles expressed in the Declaration of Helsinki. Contributors should know that one of the criteria considered in reviewing manuscripts is the humane and proper treatment of animals. The editors realize that the use of anesthetics, analgesics, and tranquilizers would defeat the purpose of some experiments. However, the use of painful or otherwise noxious stimuli must be carefully and thoroughly justified.
Papers that do not meet these criteria will not be accepted for publication.
Types of Papers
Papers of the following types are considered for publication: • Original Paper • Editorial • Review or Mini Review • Invited Review • Special Issue Contribution
Reviews and Mini Reviews
Most (Mini) Reviews are submitted upon invitation. However, the editors are open to unsolicited (Mini) Reviews. Authors planning to submit a (Mini) Review are requested to contact the Editorial Office with an outline of the intended contribution. All (Mini) Reviews are subject to peer review.
Conflicts of Interest
Authors are required to disclose any sponsorship or funding arrangements relating to their research and all authors should disclose any possible conflicts of interest. Conflict of interest statements will be published at the end of the article.
Arrangement
Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, authors’ names, institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head. NB: Authors wishing to preserve the phonetic meaning of diacritics (PubMed reduces diacritics to their root characters) must spell their names accordingly when submitting manuscripts (e.g. Müller should be Mueller).
Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
Key words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3–10 key words in English is essential.
Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract in English of up to 10 lines.
Footnotes: Avoid footnotes.
Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be stored in separate files. Tables require a heading and figures a legend, also prepared in separate files. Labels of illustrations should begin with an upper-case letter and be centered; units should be in parentheses. For graphs containing coordinates (plots) please conform to the sample figure below. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. When possible, group several illustrations in one block for reproduction (max. size 180 x 223 mm). B/w half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800–1,200 dpi.

References
Identify references [in square brackets] in the text by naming the authors and the year. 1 author: [Forsten, 1990]; 2 authors: [Geddes and Rølla, 1988]; 3 and more authors: [Hallgren et al., 1992]. Material submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be noted as ‘unpublished data’ and may not be included in the reference list. The list of references should include only those publications cited in the text. Arrange the reference list in strict alphabetical order according to the examples given below. The authors’ surnames followed by their initials should be given, and each name should be separated by a comma. Preferably, please cite all authors. For papers by the same authors, listing should be according to the year; for papers by the same authors published in the same year, use the letters a, b, c, etc. directly (no space) connected to the year. For journal abbreviations, please use the Index Medicus system. For details see www.icmje.org.

| Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
S. Karger Publishers supports DOIs as unique identifiers for articles. A DOI number will be printed on the title page of each article. DOIs can be useful in the future for identifying and citing articles published online without volume or issue information. More information can be found at www.doi.org
Author's ChoiceTM
Karger's Author's ChoiceTM service broadens the reach of your article and gives all users worldwide free and full access for reading, downloading and printing at www.Karger.com. The option is available for a one-time fee of CHF 3,000.00, which is a permissible cost in grant allocation. More information can be found at www.karger.com/authors_choice.
NIH-Funded Research
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandates under the NIH Public Access Policy that final, peer-reviewed manuscripts appear in its digital database within 12 months of the official publication date. As a service to authors, Karger submits the final version of your article on your behalf to PubMed Central. For those selecting our premium Author's ChoiceTM service, we will send your article immediately upon publishing, accelerating the accessibility of your work without the usual embargo. More details on NIH's Public Access Policy is available here.
Self-Archiving
Karger permits authors to archive their pre-prints (i.e. pre-refereeing) or post-prints (i.e. final draft post-refereeing) on their personal or institution's servers, provided the following conditions are met: Articles may not be used for commercial purposes, must be linked to the publisher's version, and must acknowledge the publisher's copyright. Authors selecting Karger's Author's ChoiceTM feature, however, are also permitted to archive the final, published version of their article, which includes copyediting and design improvements as well as citation links.

There are no page charges for papers of 5 or fewer printed pages (including tables, illustrations and references). A charge of CHF 325.00 will be levied for all pages in excess of the allotted 5 printed pages. The allotted size of a paper is equal to approx. 13 manuscript pages (double-spaced, including tables, illustrations and references).
