Instructions to Authors

Bariatric Surgical Practice and Patient Care (formerly Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care) publishes the cutting-edge research, clinical protocols, and practical tools to provide optimal care for bariatric surgical patients, whose health is seriously compromised by their high BMI and comorbid conditions.  Each issue will include original papers, clinical reviews, profiles of successful bariatric surgical programs, case reports, and much more.  The Journal does not publish papers that have been submitted elsewhere.
 

Manuscripts must be submitted online using the following URLhttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bari

Please read all the instructions to authors before submitting.

Follow all prompts on Manuscript Central for inputting all required manuscript details. Please upload all files pertaining to your paper individually; do NOT combine all manuscript files into one PDF for uploading. Manuscript Central prepares a PDF proof after uploading is completed.

AUTHORSHIP

All authors, including the co-authors, should be responsible for a significant part of the manuscript. All authors and co-authors should have taken part in writing the manuscript, reviewing it, and revising its intellectual and technical content. Any author whose name appears on a paper assumes responsibility and accountability for the results.


PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT

All manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted for Biomedical Journals." Prepare manuscripts in Microsoft Word, double spaced on 8 1/2" by 11" pages. Leave ample margins on the sides, top, and bottom of pages. The order of items in the manuscript is: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, reprint address, legends, and tables. Each page, including the title page, must be numbered in the upper right-hand corner. Number pages consecutively.

Title Page. The title page should include the contributors’ names with highest academic degrees, affiliations, the source of a work or study (if any), and a running head of about 45 characters. Please also indicate on the title page the name, complete mailing address, phone number, fax number, and email address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed.

Abstract. The second page should consist of a structured abstract of no more than 250 words, which should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. It should be double spaced and should summarize the purpose of the study, the main findings, and the principal conclusions. Please note that references should not be cited in the abstract. Papers should contain original data concerning the course (prognosis), cause (etiology), diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or economic analysis of a clinical disorder or an intervention to improve the quality of healthcare.

Text. In general, the text (which must be double spaced) should be organized under the headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. Use only standard abbreviations, which can be found in the AMA’s Manual for Authors & Editors or the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual. At first usage, spell out terms and give abbreviations in parentheses. Thereafter, use only abbreviations. It is not necessary to spell out standard units of measure, even at first usage. Use generic names for drugs if possible. If you wish to use a proprietary drug name the first time it appears, use the generic name followed by the proprietary name, manufacturer, and city in parentheses.

Acknowledgments.

The author should acknowledge only those people and their institutions that have made significant contributions to the study.

References.

References must be typed double spaced and numbered consecutively as they are cited in the text (using superscript numbers). References appearing for the first time in tables and figures must be numbered in sequence with those cited in the text where the table or figure is mentioned. Use journal abbreviations as provided by MEDLINE, (The National Library of Medicine.)  List all authors when there are six or less. When there are more than six, list the first six, followed by et al. If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, they are not to be in the list of references. They should be referred to in the text in parentheses: (F.P. Jones, personal communication, and date of correspondence.) Include any accepted papers but not yet published in the reference list; name the journal, and add "In Press" in parentheses.

Reprint Address.

Following the references, provide the name and complete address of the person to whom reprint requests should be sent.

Legends.

Each legend for illustrations must be double spaced on a separate page. In the legend, provide explanations for any abbreviations, arrows, etc. on the art work. If the illustration is taken from a copyrighted publication, permission must be obtained and the appropriate credit must be given in the legend.

Tables.

Prepare tables double spaced, each on a separate page, and provide a title for each table. Cite tables in sequence in the text. Explain abbreviations or symbols used in the body of the table in table footnotes. If the table is taken from a copyrighted publication, permission must be obtained and the appropriate credit must be given in the table footnote.

Illustrations.

Cite figures consecutively in the manuscript within parentheses: Example: “Before and after photos of the stomach in a Roux-en-Y procedure (Fig. 2A).” All illustrations should be clearly numbered and labeled with the first author's name on the front of the figure. A legend should be supplied for each figure or illustration, and all legends should be numbered consecutively and provided (double spaced) on a separate page. Figures should be numbered in the order cited in the text. Images should not show the name of any manufacturer.

Instructions for electronic submission of art:

  • Do not include any illustrations as part of your text file. Each figure should be in its own separate file, and should NOT be prepared as a Word file.
  • Line illustrations should be submitted at 600 DPI.
  • Halftones and color photos should be submitted at a minimum of 300 DPI.
  • Adobe is the preferred software.  Avoid submitting PowerPoint files.

Such clearance should be provided with the manuscript. Written permission must be obtained and submitted from authors to cite unpublished data or papers still in press.

REPRINTS

Reprints may be ordered by following the special instructions that will accompany page proofs, and should be ordered at the time the corresponding author returns the corrected page proofs to the Publisher. Reprints ordered after an issue is printed will be charged at a substantially higher rate.
