Files and Resaurces
SCOPE Spine is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal directed to an audience of spine physicians and scientists. The journal publishes original articles in the form of clinical and basic research. Spine will only publish studies that have institutional review board (IRB) or similar ethics committee approval for human and animal studies and have strictly observed a sufficient follow-up period. With the exception of reference presentation, Spine requires that all manuscripts be prepared in accordance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.
Spine periodically publishes the following special sections: Controversy, Historical Perspective, Imaging Corner, Journal Club, Legal Forum, Spine Update, and Techniques.
Manuscript Submission
Authors are to submit their manuscripts through the Web-based tracking system at http://spine.edmgr.com/. The site contains instructions and advice on how to submit manuscripts, guidance on the creation/scanning and saving of electronic art, and supporting documentation. In addition to allowing authors to submit manuscripts on the Web, the site allows authors to follow the progression of their manuscript through the peer review process. Authors who submit their manuscripts through the Web-based tracking system are asked not to send hard copies of the manuscript to the editorial office. Address all inquiries regarding manuscripts not yet accepted or published to the Journal's editorial office. The editorial office will acknowledge receipt of your manuscript and will give you a manuscript number for reference.
Revised Submission Author's comments to the reviewers are required for revised submissions. Authors must address the reviewer's concerns/suggestions, whether the change is made or not. Authors must also highlight the changes made within the text. Do not track the additions or deletions to the manuscript.
Patient anonymity and informed consent. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that a patient's anonymity be carefully protected and to verify that any experimental investigation with human subjects reported in the manuscript was performed with informed consent and followed all the guidelines for experimental investigation with human subjects required by the institution(s) with which all the authors are affiliated. Authors should mask patients' eyes, private parts and remove patients' names from all figures.
Copyright. All authors must sign a copy of the Journal's "Copyright Transfer/Conflict of Interest and Device Status Form" and submit it to the Editorial Office. The authors of all published material must sign this form at the time of manuscript submission.
Compliance with NIH and Other Research Funding Agency Accessibility Requirements A number of research funding agencies now require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, LWW will identify to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and will transmit the post-print of an article based on research funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, or other funding agencies to PubMed Central. The revised Copyright Transfer Agreement provides the mechanism.
Permissions. Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source. Any permissions fees that might be required by the copyright owner are the responsibility of the authors requesting use of the borrowed material, not the responsibility of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Please direct permission requests to: http://www.lww.com/resources/permissions/index.html.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions WILL BE RETURNED to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
General format. All manuscripts should be submitted in English, and formatted for standard 81/2 x 11-inch (21 x 28-cm) paper with at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin on all sides and double spaced. Manuscripts should be no longer than 3000 words of text, excluding the abstract and references. Case Reports should be no more than 1500 words of text. All Case Reports must have a Structured Abstract and will be published online only. The abstract will appear in the hard copy of the journal, and the readers will be directed to Spine's web site to view the paper in its entirety.

Special Sections of Spine
Manuscripts submitted to these sections of Spine should adhere to the same basic guidelines as for regular manuscript submission except where it is otherwise noted. A structured abstract is optional but should be kept with the journal's format. A mini abstract or précis is required to be included in the table of contents. Please include 3 to 5 key points in bulletin form and 3 to 8 key words.
Controversy. Two authors write on opposing sides of an issue related to spine care. Each weighs the relative advantages and disadvantages of their approach. Each author should be limited to 1000 words. A brief introductory paragraph should be included, which explains what the controversial issue is and what the two arguable sides are. Coordinating Editor: Robert F. McLain, MD
Historical Perspective. Includes papers on specific milestones and pioneers who were instrumental in the development of spine research and the understanding of spinal disorders. All contributions should be thoughtful, well-reviewed, and documented by the proper citation of original works or secondary sources. It is recommended that authors get in contact with the university or institution where the subject of the paper worked or made noteworthy achievements. The departments of medical history at the various universities are very helpful in providing information, documentation, and original pictures. (limit to 750 words) Coordinating Editor: Jiri Dvorak, MD
Imagery. This is a regular section of Spine, featured at the beginning of every issue and devoted to the artistic and imaginative qualities of the readers. Spine invites drawings, illustrations, and photographs with a brief explanation by the contributor. Please send two copies of the artwork to Spine. These contributions will not be returned. Coordinating Editor: William A. Abdu, MD
Imaging Corner. For the presentation of unusual cases involving spinal or paraspinal pathologic conditions or morphologic abnormalities that could create ambiguous test results in patients with spinal dysfunction. The objective is to present new imaging techniques to improve the efficacy of spinal imaging and the role of imaging to enhance physician education. Critical reviews of articles focused on spinal imaging from radiologic literature may be included to broaden the scope of information and to expand the knowledge of spine physicians. (limit to 450 words)
Each case should be accompanied by one to four images (maximum): plain radiographs or computed tomographic, magnetic resonance, or radionuclide images. A brief summary of the patient's history, findings on physical examination, and pertinent laboratory findings should accompany the images and will appear in the issue published on the first of the month. An additional paragraph should be provided that describes the findings on the images and the proposed diagnosis. A brief discussion may follow, possibly including a differential diagnosis of the condition exemplified in the case. This will appear in the issue published on the 15th of the same month. A maximum of two seminal references also may be included. Up to two authors for each case may be listed. No précis, key points, or key words are required. The paper should be labeled as an "Unknown Case." Coordinating Editor: Richard J. Herzog, MD
Spine Journal Club. Includes critical examinations of the literature that forms the basis for medical practice. A related goal is to increase the sensitivity of the readership to research methodology. Invited are critiques on any topic related to spinal disorders. Critiques may be on one or more thematically related papers that have influenced thinking and/or practice in the care of patients with spinal disorders. The reviews should briefly summarize the articles in question and then critique their strengths and limitations. This should be followed by a discussion of whether current practice patterns reflect appropriate interpretation of the findings. Directions for future research or questions posed by the paper(s) may also be suggested. Great opportunity to work with junior colleagues, residents, and trainees! (limit to 750 words) Coordinating Editor: Jeffrey N. Katz, MD
Legal Forum. Offers a neutral forum for addressing issues involving back and spine impairments in light of developments in law and public policy. These articles include comments from various lawyers from around the world in areas that relate to pain, disability, and psychosocial issues related to the spine. (limit to 750 words) Coordinating Editor: Peter D. Blanck, PhD, JD
Spine Update. The aim is to provide the readership with a balanced view of a topic, highlighting recent trends or new information. The Update should be clear and concise, using headings and illustrations (if appropriate) and including only those references that are pertinent to the text, preferably no more than 10. (limit to 500 words) Coordinating Editor: Robert D. Fraser, MD
Technique. This section is meant to provide insight into new techniques or ideas and new information on classic techniques related to the treatment of spine disorders. These pieces are not meant to be long and are limited to 1000 words. Coordinating Editor: Steven R. Garfin, MD
Techniques/Procedures. Descriptions and literature reviews of specific techniques (operative or non-operative), which may include scientific discussions on classic techniques versus the author's preferred method. The first half of the paper should give indications for treatment and a description of the classic technique. The second half should describe the author's preferred technique. This can include pictures as well as helpful tips to the readers. The author should provide data and/or rationale to support the new technique and why it is better than existing procedures. (Limit of 1000 words) Certain techniques and procedures may be more appropriate for our sister journal, The Journal of Spinal Disorders and Techniques. When submitting, please select the manuscript article type as “Technique/JSDT?if the authors would like to give Spine permission to pass the manuscript on to JSDT for peer review if determined by the editorial board to be more appropriate.
Young Investigator Research Award. This award is open to all scientists in all disciplines who are within 8 years of completion of their MD, DO, DC, or PhD. Required is a statement and a description, signed by all the authors, of what specific portions the Young Investigator worked on. The statement should highlight that the Young Investigator did most of the work and was involved in all aspects of the study, including planning, data collection, and writing. All submissions will undergo a formal peer review process by a pre-selected committee. The manuscript must comply with submissions to Spine <http://spine.edmgr.com/>. It is preferred that the independently performed research is of an original idea by the investigator as opposed to the execution of an idea from a senior mentor. Coordinating Editor: Scott D. Boden, MD
