MANUSCRIPT ORGANIZATION
Please number manuscript pages consecutively and organize the manuscript in the order indicated below.
TITLE PAGE: On the first page of the manuscript, include the title of the article, as well as the first and last names for each contributing author [first name, middle initial(s), surname, degree(s)]. For all contributing authors, indicate the departmental and institutional affiliation(s) and the e-mail and surface mail address for each affiliation, including the city, state or province, and country where the work was performed. Also on the title page, include a short title (not to exceed 30 characters in length, including spaces between words) for use as a running head. At the bottom of the title page, indicate any acknowledgments of grant support.
Structured Abstract of not more than 250 words in the order of Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. The structured abstract should state the purpose of the study or investigation, basic procedures (study subjects or experimental animals and observational and analytical methods), main findings (give specific data and their statistical significance, if possible), and the principal conclusions. The first time an abbreviated term is used, spell it out in full and follow with the abbreviation in parentheses – for example: ultrasound (US).
TEXT: Organize the text into an introductory section that conveys the background and purpose of the report, and then into sections titled “Materials and Methods,” “Results,” and “Discussion.” When required by the nature of the report, manuscripts that do not follow this specific format may be accepted.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Individuals, other than authors, who were of direct help in the reported work should be acknowledged by a brief statement on a separate page immediately following the text.
REFERENCES: Please type references double-spaced and number them in order of their first appearance in the text (not alphabetically). Once a reference is cited, all subsequent citations should be to the original number. References may not appear in your Reference List unless they have been cited in the text or tables. Papers that have been accepted for publication or are in press may be listed as references, but the Journal does not reference unpublished data and personal communications. Use the form for references adopted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, as in Index Medicus. For each reference, show inclusive page ranges (e.g., 7-19).
In references to journal articles, please include (1) surname and initials (without periods) of all authors, (2) article title, (3) abbreviated journal name, (4) year, (5) volume number, and (6) inclusive page numbers, in that order. An example follows:

TABLES: Each table should appear on a separate sheet of 21.5 x 28 cm. (8½ x 11 in.) paper, and include a brief heading/title at the top. Number the tables in order of their first appearance in the text (e.g., Table 1, Table 2, etc.). All tables must be cited in the text.
FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS): Please make sure that illustrations are professionally drawn. Symbols, letters, and numbers should be of sufficient size to be clearly recognizable when the figure is reduced to publication size. Decimals should be written in North American format. 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.
ELECTRONIC FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS): See Guidelines for Electronically Produced Figures below for acceptable figure formats. Please label each figure (e.g., Fig. 1) and include a caption or legend on the bottom of each figure.
PUBLICATION OF COLOR FIGURES: Color figures may be used without charge for the electronic version of the journal that is published online via SpringerLink. However, color figures will appear in the print version of the Journal at the author's expense at $1,150 per article.
PERMISSIONS: If you use text passages, illustrations, or tables from other works, you must in each case obtain permission from the copyright holder for both the print and the online format. Although it is not necessary to send us copies of these permissions, we take it for granted that the necessary permissions have been obtained by the author and could be made available to us upon request. 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.
GUIDELINES FOR ELECTRONICALLY PRODUCED FIGURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
For production of the figures and illustrations of an accepted manuscript, the Springer production department requires electronically produced figures to be saved in either EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or TIFF (Tag Image File Format) format. Most drawing programs (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, Deneba Canvas, CorelDraw) have a save-as-EPS option in their Save dialog box. Other information about EPS can be found at the Adobe website.
GENERAL
- Upload figures and illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files).
- Unless the authors have specified they wish to pay for color, color figures and illustrations will be converted to grey scale for the print edition.
VECTOR (LINE) GRAPHICS
- Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format only.
- Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
- No rules narrower than .25 pt.
- No grey screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
- Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
SPREADSHEET/PRESENTATION GRAPHICS
Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS or TIFF format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for reproduction.
HALFTONE ILLUSTRATIONS
- Black & white and color figures and illustrations should be saved in EPS or TIFF format.
- Figures and Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
SCANS
- Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi EPS or TIFF files.
- Scanned color illustrations should be provided as EPS or TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
- Line art should be provided as EPS or TIFF files at 600 ppi.
MULTIMEDIA ARTICLE & DYNAMIC MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION (I.E. STREAMING VIDEOS)
Multimedia articles are papers where the heart of the article is the video and, generally, only an abstract and references are included. Dynamic articles are regular articles with video(s) included as electronically supplementary material.
Upon submission of multimedia or dynamic articles, the author(s) will be required to submit the video in the following format:
For multimedia articles, video clips should not exceed 9 minutes. For dynamic articles, video clips should not exceed 3 minutes and each manuscript should not contain more than 3 video clips.
Multimedia file for review and submission: MPEG-1 file with the largest frame size (usually 320 x 240 pixels) that will fit on a CD and will be playable on a Windows-based computer.
The content of these files must be identical to that reviewed and accepted by the editors of Hepatology International.
All narration should be in English.
There should be a “manuscript” submitted with the video that includes a title page, abstract and key words, as well as references if needed.
DYNAMIC MANUSCRIPT:
A dynamic manuscript is a print article with imbedded video material. Up to 3 (one minute maximum each) videos per manuscript submission will be accepted. Make sure to note in your manuscript the placement of the video clips. All standard instructions for manuscript and video submission should be followed for a dynamic manuscript submission.
ESM
We invite contributing authors to publish additional, article-related materials on the web site that complement and reinforce information published in the print journal.
If Electronic supplementary material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only. All standard instructions for manuscript and video submission should be followed. ESM may consist of
- information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
- information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
- large original data, e.g. additional tables, illustrations, etc.
- If supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., ". . . as shown in Animation 3.").
Upon submission of articles with video as Electronic Supplementary Material, the author(s) will be required to submit the video according to the following specifications:
- To accommodate user downloads, keep to the recommended upper limit for the size of the different file types. Larger-sized files may require very long download times, and some users may experience other problems during downloading.
- Video clips should not exceed 6 minutes or 60 MB. Anything exceeding 6 minutes must be submitted in two separate videos.
- Supply all supplementary material in standard file formats.
- Always use MPEG-1 (.mpg) format.
- Multimedia file for review and submission: Supply the MPEG-1 file with the largest frame size (usually 320 x 240 pixels) that will fit on a CD and will be playable on a Windows-based computer.
- The content of these files must be identical to that reviewed and accepted by the editor-in-chief.
- All narration should be in English.
