About the journal Aims and Scope
The Journal of Sexual Medicine publishes multidisciplinary basic science and clinical research to define and understand the scientific basis of male and female sexual function and dysfunction. As the official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, it provides healthcare professionals in sexual medicine with essential educational content and promotes the exchange of scientific information generated from experimental and clinical research.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine includes basic science and clinical research studies in the psychologic and biologic aspects of male and female sexual function and dysfunction, and highlights new observations and research, results with innovative treatments and all other topics relevant to clinical sexual medicine.
The journal readership encompasses healthcare professionals who embrace the study, diagnosis and/or treatment of the sexual health concerns of men and/or women including but not limited to scientists, biologists, endocrinologists, family practitioners, gynecologists, internists, neurologists, physiologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, sex therapists, urologists and other healthcare clinicians.
Instructions to Authors Author Guidelines
Instructions to Authors
Please submit all manuscripts for The Journal of Sexual Medicine online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jsm. Complete, detailed instructions on uploading your manuscript are available at this website. Any major word processor software may be used, and both DOS-based and Macintosh operating systems are acceptable. In addition, a signed copyright agreement form (available at JSM Copyright Assignment) must be completed and sent to:
Jason Roberts Managing Editor, JSM

Fax: 508-747-9603

Authors will be required to assign copyright in their papers. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned.
Manuscripts must be in English, with spelling and phrasing consistent throughout the paper, conforming to either standard English or American usage. In order for a manuscript to be considered for publication all named authors must agree 1) to its submission, 2) that it is not currently being considered for publication by another journal, and 3) if accepted the paper will not subsequently be published in the same or similar form in any language without the written consent of the publisher.
Ethics
All manuscripts reporting experiments on animal or human subjects must explicitly indicate that the work was carried out in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible institutional committee on animal or human experimentation or with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 1983.
All Manuscripts
The online submission site will ask for the title, running title, first and last name of each author, name of the department(s) and institution(s) from which the work is attributed, disclaimers if appropriate, and contact information for the designated corresponding author including name, address, telephone, fax number and e-mail as well as acknowledgements of financial support and conflict of interest. There will also be an area for acknowledgements, but this is not mandatory.
The cover letter must include the names and contact information for all authors, but no names or institutions should be mentioned within the body of the manuscript in order to ensure a blind review process. This information may be reinserted before publication, along with any acknowledgements.
Each manuscript must contain: introduction, aims, methods, main outcome measures, results, discussion, conclusions and references.
Original Research
Original research papers are scientific reports from original research in sexual medicine. As a general guideline, manuscripts should be 3,000 words in length though more extensive manuscripts will certainly be considered and judged on merit. All manuscripts must include an abstract, a maximum of 7 tables and figures (total), and up to 50 references. More may be accepted if justified.
Reports
Case Reports usually describe one to three patients with pertinent conditions. Brief Reports are concise reports of cases, clinical experience, clinical studies, drug trials, adverse effects, or devices related to sexual medicine. Maximum length of text is 1,750 words; no more than 10 bibliographic references and one figure or table per case.
Review Articles
Review articles in sexual medicine are usually solicited by the editors. The text should be approximately 5,000 words, with an abstract, a maximum of 7 tables and figures (total), and up to 75 references. More may be accepted if justified. Review articles undergo the same peer-review and editorial process as all other manuscripts submitted to the journal.
Editorial Comment
Editorials providing commentary and analysis of an article in the particular issue of the journal are always solicited. Authors of the original paper will be given opportunity to respond to the editorial comment in the same issue. Editorial comments are limited to 1,000 words, with up to 7 references.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor, subject to editing, are considered for publication provided they do not contain material submitted or published elsewhere. The text must not exceed 500 words or have more than five references and one figure or table. Letters referring to a published article must be received within four months of the article's publication.
Calendar
This is a section in the back of the journal for news and meeting announcements from ISSIR and its Regional Affiliate Societies, as well as other appropriate meeting announcements. Please send contributions to this section directly to jsm@issir.org.
Abstracts
Abstracts must be submitted in the appropriate field without the manuscript title or factors identifying the authors or institutions. Abstracts have a 300- word limit. They must include introduction, aim, methods, main outcome measures, results and conclusions. Please type N/A in the abstract field for letters.
References
References are to be cited consecutively in the text as superscript numbers typed after the final punctuation. References at the end of each manuscript should be listed in the order in which they are first cited in the text, typed double-spaced. The references should conform to the Index Medicus style, omitting number and day of month of issue. Punctuation is shown in the examples below. References to articles in press must state name of journal and if possible, volume and year.
For journal articles, all authors should be listed, title of article; name of journal; year; volume number; first and last page.
For books: surname and initials of all authors, title and subtitle, edition (other than first), publishing house, city, year, page as specific reference.
