About the journal
The Southeastern Surgical Congress owns and publishes THE AMERICAN SURGEON monthly. It is the official journal of the Congress, the Midwest Surgical Association, and the Southern California Chapter of the American College of Surgeons, which all members receive each month. The journal brings up to date clinical advances in surgical knowledge in a popular reference format.
In addition to publishing papers presented at the annual meetings of the associated organizations, the journal publishes selected unsolicited manuscripts.
Instructions to Authors
CONTRIBUTIONS: Original typed paper and two copies, not carbon copies, with three sets of illustrations, as well as requests for exchanges and book reviews, should be forwarded prepaid at the author's risk to the Editor of THE AMERICAN SURGEON:
Talmadge A. Bowden, Jr., M.D.
Editor, THE AMERICAN SURGEON
Department of Surgery (GI), BI-4074
Medical College of Georgia
1120 - 15th Street, BI 4074
Augusta, GA 30912-4000
The corresponding author's name, address, telephone number, and FAX number should appear on the title page of the manuscript.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS: Manuscripts, including references, should be typed double spaced on one side of the paper, leaving wide margins. While every effort will be made to guard against loss, it is advised that authors retain copies of manuscripts submitted. All pages should be numbered. Numbers one to ten should be spelled out, except when used for all units of measurement (time, dimensions, degrees, weight, volume, dosage, etc.), percentage, and decimals; for numbers above ten, numerals should be used. Dorland's Medical Dictionary and Webster's International Dictionary may be used as standard references. Scientific names for drugs should be used when possible. Copyright or trade names of drugs should be capitalized. Units of measure, e.g. dosage, should be expressed in the metric system. Temperature should be expressed in degrees centigrade.
An abstract of 200 words or less should be submitted to run at the beginning of the article, rather than a summary at the end.
PREPARATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS: Black and white illustrations will be reproduced free of charge, but the publisher reserves the right to establish a reasonable limit upon the number supplied. Color illustrations will be published at the author's expense. Black and white photographs should be presented as glossy prints. Line and wash drawings should be black on white paper with lettering in black india ink, large enough to be readable after necessary reduction.
Large or bulky illustrations should be accompanied by smaller glossy reproductions of the same to facilitate circulation among the judging members of the Editorial Board. Illustrations should be numbered, the tops indicated, and the author's name and the title of the article, in brief, should appear on the back. A separate typewritten sheet of legends for the illustrations should be supplied.
REFERENCES: Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. In the double spaced listing at the end of the manuscript, use the form of references adopted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and used in INDEX MEDICUS. For journals: last name, initials (for all authors); article title (INDEX MEDICUS abbreviation or spelled out), year, volume number, inclusive pages. For books: Last name, initials (for all authors and/or editors); book title, edition (if more than one); location and name of publisher, year of publication; page number(s) if needed to direct readers to a specific section.
TABLES: Tables should be double spaced on separate sheets, numbered, and cited in the text of the article. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum or appropriately annotated.
ELECTRONIC EDITING
THE AMERICAN SURGEON is now using personal computers to copy edit manuscripts accepted for publication. Authors are encouraged to submit electronic diskettes of the final version of their manuscripts along with the typed revised manuscript. Diskettes will be returned with the galley proofs. Please be sure that the file you send is the most recent version of the manuscript, and that it matches the printed copy that was accepted for publication. The file should contain all the parts of the manuscript in one file.
Mathemathics and tabular material, however, will be processed in the traditional manner and may be excluded from the diskette file.
NOTE: The journal does not assume responsibility for errors in conversion of customized software, newly released software, and special characters.
Please label the outside of the diskette with the journal name, the manuscript number, the senior author's name, and the name of the computer file. To ensure that your diskette is processed efficiently, provide the following information: name used to access paper on diskette; name of computer used (e.g., IBM/PS2); operating system and version (e.g., DOS 3.3); word processing program and version (e.g., WordPerfect 5.0); special characters used in the file (e.g. Greek, math symbols); manuscript number; corresponding author; telephone; and FAX numbers.
