About the journal
Aims and Scope

Obesity Reviews is a review journal publishing papers from all disciplines related to obesity. It should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity, most particularly to endocrinologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, obstetricians but also rheumatologists, as well as health professionals working in general medicine and surgery. Furthermore the journal will contribute to education and inter-professional developments by planning pro et con reviews on current controversies.

Obesity Reviews is a official review journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, which has over 9,000 members, in more than 50 countries, with a rapidly increasing membership status.

A special subscription rate is available for individuals who are members of the national associations under the umbrella of the International Association for the Study of Obesity.

The journal is published on a quarterly basis. The Editorial policy is to minimize the period between submission and publication of reviews, while retaining high standards of quality exercised by peer review.

The journal is included in the information retrieval systems Index Medicus and Medline.


Instructions to Authors

TopAuthor Guidelines

Obesity Reviews will publish state of the art reviews, written by experts in the field of obesity research. The journal is published bimonthly; each issue is devoted to a highly important and timely topic in this area. Every issue will contain 5-8 authoritative, well referenced and illustrated reviews on all aspects of the specific theme of the issue.

NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services.

Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.

All contributions should meet the following criteria:

Papers must be submitted exclusively to the Journal and are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere. All authors must give signed consent to publication and disclose potential conflicts of interest* in a letter sent with the manuscript. Authors should refer to the section on publication ethics of the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. Please see http://www.icmje.org
* The conflicts of interest statement should disclose funding sources, relevant patents, financial and business relationships to sponsors, companies related to the research or the outcome of the studies in the manuscript.

The corresponding author should provide, if possible, a fax number and e-mail address to speed communication with the Editors.

The Editors retain the usual right to modify the style and length of a contribution (major changes being agreed with the corresponding author) and to decide the time of publication.

They must be written in English and are subjected to editorial review. Articles should be the equivalent of 8-10 printed pages (i.e. no more than 5,000 words), exclusive of tables and figures. Any manuscript exceeding this length will have to be reduced during the revision
process to less than 5,000 words
. Full details and guidance on the preparation of all material (text, tables and figures) can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/author.asp

Possible comments and suggestions of the editor may be sent to the author(s), who authorise(s) the publication of the article in the revised form. Proof reading will be reduced to a minimum.

General advice about the presentation of manuscripts:

  • All pages should be numbered.
  • The name and address and telephone and fax numbers of the author to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent should be included on the title page and the covering letter.
  • Do not use abbreviations.
  • All scientific units should be expressed in SI units.
  • A copy of the manuscript should be kept by the authors for reference.
  • An acknowledgement of receipt of the manuscript will be sent by the Journal.
  • Manuscripts rejected for publication will not be returned.
  • Once a paper is accepted the authors are asked to sign a form assigning copyright to International Association for the Study of Obesity. Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the International Association for the Study of Obesity. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the Publisher unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate Exclusive Licence Form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form from the journal website at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/obr_elf.pdf

Title Page

The title page should contain: (1) the title of the article, (2) the name of each author (first name and surname preferred), (3) the name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the authors belong, (4) three to four key words, (5) a running title, (6) acknowledgements, (7) address of corresponding author and e-mail address, (8) potential conflicts of interest.

Text

Review articles should be divided into: (1) abstract (about 200 words), (2) introduction, (3) text subdivided in paragraphs, (4) conclusion or discussion. Authors are particularly encouraged to use tables, diagrams and figures. Personal conclusions and practical applications are welcome.

Tables

Type each table on a separate page; number tables consecutively and supply a brief title for each. Each table should have a caption. Cite each table in the text in consecutive order, using Arabic numbers.

Figures

We would like to receive your artwork in electronic form. Please save vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) in Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS), and bitmap files (e.g. half-tones) in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). Detailed information on ourdigital illustration standards is available on the Blackwell Publishing homepage at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp. Letters, numbers and symbols should be clear and even throughout, and of sufficient size so that when reduced for publication the item will still be legible; titles and detailed explanations should be included in the legend for illustrations, not in the illustrations themselves. Cite each figure in the text in consecutive order.

If a figure has been published, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material. Legend for illustrations should be typed on a separate page, with Arabic numbers corresponding to the illustrations. When symbols, arrows, numbers or letters are used to identify parts of the illustrations, explain each one in the legend. Explain the internal scale and identify the method of staining in photomicrographs.

References should be cited numerically in the order they appear in the text.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be explained at the beginning of the manuscript and listed in the order in which they appear. Avoid abbreviations in the title and in the abstract.

Drug Names

Generic names should, in general, be used. If an author so desires, brand names may be inserted in parentheses.

Proofs

The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document  format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. The software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hardcopy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.

Offprints

Authors will be provided with electronic offprints of their article. Paper offprints may be ordered at prices quoted on the order form, which accompanies the proofs. Note that this form should not be returned with your proofs, but to the fax number on the form. The cost is higher if the order arrives too late for the main print run. Offprints are normally despatched within three weeks of publication of the issue in which the paper appears. Please contact the Publishers if offprints do not arrive: however, please note that offprints are sent surface mail, so overseas orders may take up to six weeks to arrive. Electronic offprints are sent to the first author at his or her first e-mail address on the title page of the paper, unless advised otherwise; therefore please ensure that the name, address and e-mail of the corresponding author are clearly indicated on the manuscript title page if he or she is not the first author of the paper.

Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted 2 months after publication.
