All other contributors who do not meet sufficient criteria for authorship should be noted in the Acknowledgments section.

These disclosures should include, but are not limited to, relationships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, device manufacturers, or other commercial entities whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the submission. |
Ethics For clinical trials, details of ethical committee approval and the type of informed consent should be stated. Patients�and volunteers�names, initials, and hospital numbers should not be used. We endorse the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki and expect that all investigations involving human materials have been performed in accordance with these principles. For animal experiments, “the Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals�approved by the American Physiological Society have to be observed. |
Copyright and permissions Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.

Evidence-based medicine JGO has incorporated specific guidelines for reporting randomized controlled trials (ie, CONSORT), meta-analyses and systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (ie, PRISMA), meta-analyses and systematic reviews of observational studies (ie, MOOSE), observational studies (ie, STROBE), and studies of diagnostic accuracy (ie, STARD). In your cover letter, be sure to indicate that you have followed the CONSORT, PRISMA, MOOSE, STROBE or STARD guidelines, as appropriate. The checklists and guidelines are available on our web site (www.ejgo.org). |
Clinical trial registration JGO has endorsed the statement from the ICMJE that all clinical trials must be enrolled in a central registry in order to be considered for publication. This requirement will lessen the chance of publication bias by making all trials (published or unpublished) available to clinicians, investigators, and the public, even those that are negative or reflect unfavorably on a research sponsor’s product.
For the policies on the research and publication ethics not stated in this instructions, ‘Good Publication Practice Guidelines for Medical Journals (http://kamje.or.kr/publishing_ethics.html)� or ‘Guidelines on good publication (http://www.publicationethics.org.uk/guideline)�can be applied. |

As for case reports, Case Report section comprising case history or case description replaces the Materials and Methods section as well as Results section. |
Results should present detailed description of the findings in the text and/or tables and figures. But, excessive repetition of tables and figure contents should be avoided. |
Discussion should appraise implications of the findings and place them in the context of prior reports. Speculation is permitted, but it must be supported by the presented data of authors and be well founded. |

Editorial and Peer Review Process The editor selects peer referees by recommendation of the Editorial Board members or from the specialist database owned by the Editorial Board. Acceptance of the manuscript is decided, based on the critiques and recommended decision of the referees. A referee’s decision is made as “acceptance without revision� “acceptance after minor revision� “review after revision�and “rejection.�If there is marked discrepancy in the decisions between two referees or in opinions between the author and referee(s), the Editor may send the manuscript to another referee for additional comments and recommended decision. Three repeated decisions of “review after revision�are regarded as “rejection.�The reviewed manuscripts are returned back to the corresponding author with comments and recommended revisions. A final decision on acceptance or rejection for publication is forwarded to the corresponding author from the Editorial Office. The peer review process takes usually four to eight weeks after the manuscript submission. Revisions are usually requested to take account of criticism and comments made by referees. Failure to resubmit the revised manuscript within two months is regarded as a withdrawal. The corresponding author must indicate clearly what alterations have been made in response to the referees�comments point by point. Acceptable reasons should be given for noncompliance with any recommendation of the referees. |
