PLEASE NOTE: Effective January 2010, Obesity Surgery no longer accepts Case Report submissions for publication.
***

GENERAL 

Obesity Surgery is published by Springer Science+Business Media LLC and is the official journal of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and metabolic disorders (IFSO). Obesity Surgery publishes concise articles on clinical reports, clinical research, physiology research, basic science research, animal research, new concepts, technical innovations, case reports, editorials, reviews, current status, short communications, letters to the editor, invited commentaries, opinions, book reviews, guidelines, scholarly presentations, historical notes, medicolegal issues, and meeting abstracts. Requirements are in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals," www.icmje.org.
Submitted papers will be subjected to peer review by members of the Editorial Board. Articles that are submitted for publication are done so with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication. The Editor and Publisher reserve the right to edit manuscripts accepted for publication to ensure conformity with the style of the Journal.

ELECTRONIC MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION VIA EDITORIAL MANAGER 

Submission of a manuscript implies: a) that the work described has not been published before; b) that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else, and c) that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher and editors will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Obesity Surgery electronically processes all submitted manuscripts through the online center, Editorial Manager (HTTP://OBSU.EDMGR.COM). All submissions are received, reviewed and decided upon through this website.
Original submissions are peer-reviewed, and not blinded.
AUTHOR ACCOUNTS
Authors entering the journal’s Editorial Manager site for the first time can create a new account and then follow the online prompts in order to submit a manuscript. If you have previously logged into the system, you should use your existing account for ALL subsequent submissions. If this procedure is followed, and you use one primary account, then you will be able to track the status for all of your submitted manuscripts from the same page.
GETTING STARTED
Once you have logged into your account, Editorial Manager will lead you through a step-by-step submission process. When submitting through Editorial Manager, you will be required to enter data through several different screens. The requested information will include Article Type, Title, Authors, Abstract, Key Words, Classifications, Comments/Cover Letter, and so forth. A check-mark next to the submission step indicates that you have provided the necessary information for that step. If you must leave the site and return at a later time, you can click on the “Incomplete Submissions” link in your Author Main Menu to access and continue submitting the partially submitted manuscript by clicking “Edit Submission” under the Actions link.
UPLOADING FILES
During the final submission step (“Attach Files”), please include the following documents.
  • Your COMPLETE manuscript text. Make sure that your Title Page (with all contributing author and affiliation information), Abstract, Body Text, References, Figure Legends, and Tables (if any) are all included together in ONE DOCUMENT, in either Word or Rich Text Format.
  • If you prefer, you may instead submit your tables separately in Word, Rich Text, or Excel format.
  • The preferred format for submitted figures and/or graphics is either TIF or EPS format. For very large figure files, please compress them as much as possible before uploading to the website. MS Office files are also acceptable.
  • Any video or multimedia should be submitted in MPEG, RM, AVI, or MOV format. No video file should be larger than 2MB.
  • Any other documents that you believe are necessary for your submission.
After uploading the parts of your submission in this manner and clicking on “Build PDF for my Approval,” the system will convert the files to PDF. Click on “Submissions Waiting for Author’s Approval,” and go to your Actions link to view the PDF. You will see the result of conversion with the Acrobat plug-in in your browser. Once you approve the PDF, your manuscript will be officially submitted.
At any point during your submission process, Help links and a “frequently asked questions” link are available to view common questions or search specific topics.
If you have any questions that are not found in the Help link, or you need assistance submitting your manuscript online via Editorial Manager, please contact the Obesity Surgery Managing Editor:

REQUIRED FORMS
Copyright forms are now handled online -after- an article is accepted for publication. While the article is being typeset, the author is contacted by the typesetter during the MyPublication stage and provided with a website address that will send the author through the copyright/offprints/color figures in print/Open Choice procedures. Please note the author will not receive proofs of their article until the MyPublication stage has been completed.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE 

All potential benefits in any form from a commercial party related directly or indirectly to the subject of this manuscript or any of the authors must be acknowledged. For each source of funds, both the research funder and the grant number should be given. These details should be added in the "Conflict of Interest" section during online submission, and should also be included in a separate section of the manuscript document text, before the list of references.
If no conflict exists, authors should state the following note in a separate section of the manuscript document text, before the list of references: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
The authors must fill out the “Author Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships” form which can be found below. If no author on the manuscript has any conflict of interest to disclose, the corresponding author may fill out the form on behalf of all co-authors. If any author has a conflict to disclose, all authors must fill out the form individually. The “Author Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships” form must then be uploaded at the time of manuscript submission. Submissions lacking a conflict of interest disclosure will not be accepted.

ORGANIZATION OF MANUSCRIPTS 

Please type manuscripts (including references) double-spaced with one-inch wide margins. Number the pages consecutively and organize the manuscript in the order indicated below.
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT
Title Page. The title page should include:
  • The name(s) of the author(s)
  • A concise and informative title
  • The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
  • The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
  • Include a short title (not to exceed 30 characters in length, including spaces between words) for use as a running head
  • The authors must disclose any commercial interest that they may have in the subject of study and the source of any financial or material support
ABSTRACT. The Abstract for Research Articles and Clinical Reports must be not more than 250 words and should be written under the headings: Background, Methods, Results and Conclusions. The Abstract should not cite any references. Spell out each abbreviated term in full and follow with the abbreviation the first time a particular term is used. For example, ultrasound (US). Three to ten key words should follow the abstract. Where possible, the key words should be taken from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) of the Index Medicus.
The Abstract for Case Reports, Review Articles, Historical Notes, Modern Surgery: Technical Innovation, Medicolegal Issues, Opinions, Current Status, Scholarly Presentations, and New Concepts, should be not more than 250 words and should be written in one paragraph.
Abstracts are not required at the beginning of Letters to the Editor, Guidelines, Invited Commentaries, and Book Reviews.
Use only standard abbreviations and avoid abbreviations in the title. Define all abbreviations, except those in very common use (e.g. DNA), on their first mention in the text.
SHORT COMMUNICATIONS. are brief descriptions of a focused study with important, but very straightforward results. The short communication should be no longer than 1,800 words, have a maximum of 2 figures and tables, and have no more than 20 references. The abstract is optional. However, if the abstract is included, it should be divided into the headings of Background, Methods, Results and Conclusions and should not exceed 150 words.
TEXT. Since each of the manuscript types noted above can cover a great number of topics and concepts, word limits are difficult to set. We instead request that your article remain succinct and to-the-point, providing a detailed account of your findings and observations. The peer review process typically will verify whether or not the paper is too long or too brief.
The text should typically be organized into the following sections/headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, References, Tables, Legends for Figures.
  • Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 12-point Times Roman) for text
  • Double-space the text
  • Use italics for emphasis
  • Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages
  • Do not use field functions
  • Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar
  • Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables
REFERENCES. The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. Reference list entries should be numbered consecutively.
Citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:
1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].
2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].
3. This effect has been widely studied [1-3, 7].
For Journal Articles: The sequence for a journal article should be: author(s); title of paper; journal name abbreviated as in the Index Medicus, year of publication, volume number and first and last page numbers. When there are more than three authors, shorten to three and add ‘et al’, e.g.
Cadiere GB, Himpens J, Vertruyen M et al. The world's first obesity surgery performed by a surgeon at a distance. Obes Surg 1999; 9: 206-9.
For Chapters of a Book: The sequence for chapters of a book should be: author(s), chapter title, editors, book title, edition, place of publication, publisher, year, page numbers, e.g.
Angel A, Winocur JT, Roncari DAK. Morbid obesity – the problem and its consequences. In: Deitel M, ed. Surgery for the Morbidly Obese Patient. Philadelphia: Lea & Febiger 1989: 19-26.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that the list contains all references cited in the text, in order, accurately.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
PERMISSIONS. Photographs in which a person is identifiable must either have the face masked out, or be accompanied by written permission for publication from the individual in the photograph. Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and the online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors. Please be informed that we will not be able to refund any costs that may have occurred in order to receive these permissions from other publishers. Please be aware that some publishers do not grant electronic rights for free (an example is Thieme Publishers). In these cases we kindly ask you to use figures from other sources.
TABLES
  • All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals
  • Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order
  • For each table, please supply a table heading
  • The table title should explain clearly and concisely the components of the table
  • Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table heading
  • Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body
FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS)
  • Include the figure legends at the end of the manuscript text. Type the legends for figures double-spaced, and number the legends consecutively.
  • All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals
  • Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters
  • Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order
  • For each figure, please supply a figure caption
  • Make sure to identify all elements found in the figure in the caption
  • Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the caption
  • For more information about preparing your illustrations, please follow the hyperlink to the artwork instructions below

STATEMENT OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL RIGHTS 

When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should be asked to indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.

STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT 

Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should identify Individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, however, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note.

GUIDELINES FOR ELECTRONICALLY PRODUCED FIGURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS 

For detailed instructions about the submission of artwork, figures, graphics and illustrations, click on the following link:

AUTHOR PROOFS 

After a submission is accepted and processed through production, a proof of the article is made available to the author. The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor.
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.

AFTER ACCEPTANCE 

Upon acceptance of your article you will receive a link to the special Springer web page with questions related to:
Copyright Transfer Statement: Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, they agree to the Springer Open Choice License.
Offprints/Reprints: can be ordered.
Color in Print: Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be charged for the costs.
Open Choice: In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles. Please go to: http://springer.com/openchoice or click on the below link for more information
