Manuscript guidelines
Articles are accepted for exclusive publication in EFORT Open Reviews and must not be previously published or under consideration elsewhere.
Review Articles
Review Articles should summarise the current state of understanding on a topic within the fields of orthopaedics and traumatology.
The journal’s focus is on instructional review articles, which discuss and synthesize the key, recent, peer-reviewed literature on the topic. The aim is that readers may quickly gain an overview of current knowledge and practice in the field. Review articles should display sufficient originality in their analysis of the field and recommendations for practice, and should not merely repeat or paraphrase existing literature – all submitted articles are screened for similarity to published works, including the author’s own previous publications. Your expert assessment of the most relevant literature may also cover current debates and advise on future directions. Illustrative figures, including annotated radiographs, images and diagrams should be included to aid understanding.
Systematic Reviews
In addition to instructional review articles, EOR publishes systematic reviews, which are more extensive analyses that critically assess all published studies on a topic, according to clearly defined search criteria.
Systematic Reviews must meet the requirements of the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Authors are required to complete the PRISMA checklist and submit this with their manuscript. You can find the checklist here. Authors should include a statement such as below in the abstract and the 'Materials & Methods' section of their manuscript:
‘The review process was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.’
Although not an obligatory requirement, the journal encourages registration of Systematic Reviews with PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews). If registered, authors should include the registration number in the abstract and the 'Materials & Methods' section of their manuscript.
The abstract should be structured into Purpose, Methods, Results and Conclusions and be limited to a maximum of 250 words.
File type
The article text should be supplied as a Word DOC or RTF. Please use continuous line numbering in your main document file (in Word 2010, go to Page Layout>Line Numbers>Continuous). See additional guidelines on figure and table files below.
Word count
Review articles should be as concise as possible - we recommend a maximum word count of 4000 words.
Authorship
Each paper should have a maximum of 6 authors, and each author must have contributed substantially to the review. The corresponding author provides final approval for publication. Each author is required to complete an ICMJE conflict of interest form prior to publication.
Cover letterYou are required to submit a cover letter with your manuscript.
Key points to include:
- Editor's name (you can find this on the Editorial Board page)
- Your manuscript's title
- Statement that your paper in part or in whole has not been previously published and is not currently under consideration by another journal
- Brief description of the research you are reporting in your paper, why it is important, and why you think the readers of EFORT Open Reviews would be interested in it
- Your contact information
- Conflict of interest statement
If you need further help to write your cover letter, you can download and use our sample cover letter template here. This will download a Word document.
Title page
To ensure anonymity in peer review, the title page should be supplied separately from the body of the article, which should not contain any identifying information. The title page should contain the full title of the manuscript, author name(s) and affiliation(s), and the name, postal and email addresses of the corresponding author.
Abstract and keywords
For narrative, instructional Review Articles, the abstract should summarise the content and main conclusions of the article into 3–6 bullet points, and should be limited to a maximum of 250 words.
For Systematic Reviews, the abstract should be structured into Purpose, Methods, Results and Conclusions and be limited to a maximum of 250 words. Keywords should be supplied for every article, based upon 3–8 key terms that might be used when searching for the article online.
Figures and tables
Each review article should include a small number of figures or images to illustrate points (techniques, materials, procedures and so on) that are discussed in the text, in order to aid readers' understanding. For any figures that are reproduced from previously published material (including websites), permission must be requested from the copyright holder, and confirmation of permission must be provided to the EOR Editorial Office. It is the author's responsibility to request permission to reproduce figures.
Figures should be submitted as separate files, and should not be embedded in the Word doc. Tables should be embedded in the Word doc. All figures and tables must be clearly cited in the text, and figure legends should be listed at the bottom of the main text file.
Each figure should have a figure legend, and figures should be numbered consecutively.
Each table should have a short, descriptive heading, and tables should be numbered consecutively. Tables should be supplied using proper table formatting with columns and rows.
As far as possible, figures should be provided as original source files, and should not be embedded within another document. Images may be supplied as JPEG or TIFF files at 300dpi or higher; line art may be supplied as EPS files at 800 dpi or higher.
Conclusions
Articles should usually finish with a Conclusions section. This should be more than simply a repetition of the body text, and should provide clear recommendations based on the literature and the authors' experience (as appropriate). Bullet points may be used for succinct expression of recommendations. This section may also briefly discuss the need for ongoing study and future directions.
References
References should be kept to a minimum, comprising only works that have been studied in full by the authors, and should only cite published work. All references must be cited within the body of the article. The majority of references should refer to peer-reviewed literature published within the last 5 years. References should be presented using the Vancouver system, whereby references are numbered according to the order of citation in the text (notin alphabetical order). The reference list should appear at the end of the article. Vancouver style reference examples are as follows:
