Instructions to Authors
| EDITORIAL POLICIES |
| Materials submitted to the Journal must be original; they cannot have been previously published (other than as abstracts) nor can they be under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. A statement attesting to the fulfillment of these requirements must be included in the submission letter. |
| All authors must have contributed to the study and/or manuscript because all are responsible for its content. Authors will be required to sign scientific and authorship responsibility statements to this effect. In addition, authors are obliged to disclose in the letter of submission any financial arrangement or other relationship that could be construed as a conflict of interest. |
| Studies involving human subjects or animal models must have the approval of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or other agency responsible for human and/or animal research at the authors¡¯ institution(s). Human subjects must have given written informed consent to the study in a document approved by the IRB or similar governing body. Experimental animals must have been cared for according to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, Commission on Life Sciences, National Research Council. Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1996). Statements certifying compliance with these requirements must appear in the Methods section of the manuscript. |
| All manuscripts will undergo blinded and anonymous review by 2 or more experts in the field. Acceptance is based upon significance, originality, validity, and interest to readers. After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, all authors must sign a form that assigns copyright of the material to the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ENDOVASCULAR SPECIALISTS and contains attestations relating to conflict of interest and scientific/authorship responsibility. This form must be received in the Editorial Office before the article can be scheduled for publication. |
| The Journal reserves the right to edit accepted manuscripts to comply with the Journal¡¯s format, remove redundancies, and aid clarity and understanding without altering the meaning; edited manuscripts will be returned to the author for approval. Back to Top |
|
| MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION |
| All materials considered for publication must be submitted in English to the Editorial Office accompanied by a submission letter stating (1) there has been no duplicate publication or submission of any part of the work; (2) all authors have read and approved the manuscript; and (3) there is no financial arrangement or other relationship that could be construed as a conflict of interest. If a potential conflict exists, its nature should be stated in the letter and manuscript for each author involved. If the Editors consider this conflict of interest relevant to the paper, a statement will be added to the article. |
| Authors are encouraged to consult the American Medical Associations¡¯ Manual of Style (9th ed., Baltimore, MD: Williams & Wilkins, 1998) or "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Medical Journals" (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. JAMA. 1997;277:927-934) for guidance in text preparation and reference citation. Back to Top |
| Electronic submissions are encouraged! |
|
| ELECTRONIC TEXT ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS |
| The Journal encourages the use of computer technology to create text files and digital images. The equipment in the Editorial Office allows access to text files produced by most conventional word processing programs for the PC and Macintosh (MAC) platforms. However, to ensure that formatting and symbols are not lost in any file conversion, follow these guidelines for file preparation. Back to Top |
|
- Use a nonproportionally spaced font of at least 12 pitch; do not embed the font.
- Set line spacing to double; full justification may be used.
- Use tabs at 0.5-inch increments for paragraph and text indentation; do not use hanging indents.
- Set all margins to 1 inch (25 mm) and headers/footers to 0.5 inches (12 mm) from the edge.
- Turn off automatic hyphenation; use 2 hyphens for short (en) dashes and 3 hyphens for long (em) dashes.
- Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page. Place only the page number and a brief title (no author name, e.g., Stenting in the SFA - page 2) in the header at the right margin; no lines or other formatting should appear to demarcate text or headers. Do not place any text or formatting in the footers. Back to Top
- Type section heads in bold capital letters at the left margin (do not center) followed by a hard return (enter key); subheads appear in bold initial capitals at the left margin followed by a hard return (enter). Third-level heads are in italicized bold type (first word capitalized) at the left margin followed by a hard return (enter).
- Type text within paragraphs using the word wrap (soft return) feature. Do not enter a hard return at the end of each line.
- Do not embed fonts, links, footnotes in a hidden field, field codes, bookmarks, comments, hypertext links, or passwords in the text. See Charts, Graphs, and Equations and Figures and Legends for specific instructions for processing these items. Do NOT use endnotes or other bibliographic style function for reference lists.
- Use the formatting function for bold, italic, and sub/superscripts. Symbols, foreign letters, and mathematical formulas may be inserted in the text (see Charts, Graphs, and Equations), but they should be verified against the printout before submission. Back to Top

|
| Arranging the Components of the Manuscript |
| Begin each segment on a new sheet: title page, title only page, abstract and key words, text, acknowledgments, references, tables, legends, and figures. Because the manuscripts will undergo blinded review, no author or institution name should appear in the text or brief title. Back to Top |
| Title and Title Only Pages |
- List full names, highest academic degrees, and affiliations for all authors.
- Provide a brief title (<40 characters).
- Acknowledge all sources of financial support (grants, fellowships, equipment, or remuneration of any kind) or relationships (employment, stock holdings, retainers, paid or unpaid consultancies, patents or patent licensing arrangements, or honoraria) that may pertain to the manuscript.
- Give the name, address, telephone/fax numbers, and e-mail address of a correspondent.
- Type the title only on a separate sheet of paper for blinded review; place this sheet after the complete title page. Back to Top
|
|
| Abstract |
- Give a substantive summary of an original article in 250 words, separating the abstract according to Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions; abstracts for reviews may be unstructured. For case reports, the abstract should be no longer than 150 words and divided into Purpose, Case Report, and Conclusions. Technical notes may have a 150-word abstract divided into Purpose, Technique, and Conclusions.
- List a maximum of 5 key words that do not appear in the title. Back to Top
|
|
| Text |
- Organize your text into sections entitled Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (case reports and technical notes require only Introduction, Case Report or Technique, and Discussion).
- Avoid naming your institution in the work or otherwise identifying the authors.
- Use Sl measurements; generic drug names should be used.
- Define abbreviations and acronyms when they first appear in the text.
- Identify references, tables, and figures using Arabic numerals in parentheses.
- Place acknowledgments at the end of the text on a separate page. Back to Top
|
|
| References |
- Follow the guidelines in the American Medical Associations¡¯ Manual of Style (9th ed., Baltimore, MD: Williams & Wilkins, 1998) or "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Medical Journals" (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. JAMA. 1997;277:927-934).
- Do NOT use endnotes or other bibliographic style function for reference lists.
- Limit to 15 the number of references for a case report or technical note. Letters may have no more than 10 references.
- Number references in the order they appear in the text. Identify references in the text, tables, and legends as Arabic numerals in parentheses or as superscripts.
- List up to 3 authors (last name and initials separated by a comma); use et al. for 4 or more authors. Back to Top
- Abbreviate journal titles according to the style of Index Medicus; formats for the common types of journal citations are:
|
- Journal article: authors' names and initials, article title, journal name, year, volume, and inclusive page numbers.
Example: Görich J, Rilinger N, Söldner J, Krämer S, Orend KH, Sch¨¹tz A, et al. Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms: treatment of complications. J Endovasc Surg. 1996;6:136-146.
- Abstracts (no more than 2 years old): authors' names and initials, title followed by [abstract], journal name, year, volume, and inclusive page numbers.
Example: Reid DB, Diethrich EB. Intravascular ultrasound imaging in carotid artery stenting: results of a prospective study [abstract]. Cardiovasc Surg. 1996;4:661. Back to Top |
- Cite entire books by giving the author/editor(s), title, edition, city/state of publication, publisher, and year.
Example: Ahn SS, Moore WS, eds. Endovascular Surgery, 2nd ed. Philadelphia, PA: WB Saunders Co.; 1991.
- Cite chapters in books giving the author(s), chapter title, editor(s), book title, city/state of publication, publisher, year, and inclusive page numbers.
Example: Towne JB. Postintervention surveillance. In: White RA, Fogarty TJ, eds. Peripheral Endovascular Interventions. St. Louis, MO: Mosby¨CYear Book, Inc.; 1996:109-115. Back to Top |
|
| Tables |
- Use tables to supplement the text, not duplicate it.
- Number each table sequentially using Arabic numerals.
- Give a brief title for each table.
- Do not insert tables in the text; each should be printed on a separate page with any abbreviations listed alphabetically and defined in a footnote.
- Format tables for clarity using either tabbed indentations or the table formatting function. Note that tables are set according to Journal specifications from the hard copy due to coding requirements. Elaborate formatting (shading, color) is discouraged. Back to Top

| Figures and Legends |
- Create digital images with high-quality scanning equipment or by data transfer from a digital source (e.g., digital camera). Image resolution should be at least 400 ppi for color and grayscale images and 600 ppi (preferably higher) for black and white line drawings or graphs. Image size at these resolutions should be no less than 3 inches wide for vertical images and 5 inches wide for horizontally oriented figures. Do not use low-resolution digital formats (e.g., PowerPoint slides or JPEG). Back to Top
- Add arrows and symbols to digitally created images using functions supplied with the imaging program. Do not use color marks on images intended for black and white reproduction.
- Save each digital image as a TIFF file; use a compression function (such as LZW) that does not degrade the resolution, selecting PC byte order.
- Do not use the caption function for figure legends.
- Do not import images into the text document but transmit each image file with the manuscript either by disk, e-mail, or upload.
- If you are submitting the manuscript without digitized images, supply 2 sets of 5- x 7-inch (13- x 17-cm) unmounted glossy prints for each illustration or image. Attach paste-on labels to the back of each print, indicating the top of the image, figure number, and the brief title (no author name). Lettering on photographs must be press-applied or computer-generated using capital letters (Helvetica font) placed in the upper left corner; typed or freehand lettering is unacceptable.
- Type legends for all illustrations on a separate page, explaining abbreviations and symbols used in the figure. Previously published figures must be accompanied by written permission from the publisher to reproduce.
- Request color reproduction at the time the manuscript is submitted for consideration. Four-color illustrations are printed at a cost to the author of $375 (US) each, which must be paid in advance of publication but does include 100 free reprints. Back to Top
|
| MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION |
| Manuscripts may be submitted electronically or by mail. For mail delivery, send 1 original copy of the text with 2 sets of figures to the Editorial Office by first class mail or courier service; an electronic file of the text must be provided on a disk (see below). For electronic transmission, use the upload feature on the website or e-mail; however, do not forget to include the cover letter as a separate file. Final versions of accepted text materials must be supplied as electronic files. Back to Top |
|
| Transmission of Electronic Files |
| For transfer by website (recommended) or e-mail: |
- Access our Upload Center. On the submission page, enter your name, e-mail address, and fax number, then browse through your computer to locate the file(s) to upload. Enter additional comments below, but not the required submission letter. A separate file for this information, in the form of a cover letter, should be uploaded with the manuscript file(s).
- Digitized images (see Figures and Legends) may be sent by either method, but to avoid corruption of large files, it is advisable to archive and compress them using WinZip (MAC users should not employ Stuff-It).
- A receipt for uploaded files is returned automatically and confirmed by e-mail from the Editorial Office within 3 business days.
- For e-mail transfer of files, open a message and attach the files, noting in the body of the message your contact information and the number of files appended. Back to Top
|
| For transfer by mail: |
- Save (do not use "Fast Save") or copy the manuscript and any digital images onto a portable storage medium with sufficient capacity to hold all the files. Magnetic disks, either 3.5-inch (up to 1.44 MB) or Zip (up to 250 MB), and CDs (R or RW) are acceptable. The latter is preferred for numerous image files. Disks will not be returned unless special request is made.
- Label the disk(s) with the corresponding author's name, brief title, platform (PC or MAC), and file format(s) and software version(s). Example: Stone et al. Stents in the SFA. PC/Word 6 or Jones et al. Aortic Endografts. MAC/MacWrite 5.1. TIFF files: Photoshop 5.0.
- Wrap disk(s) in foam, bubble-wrap, or cardboard to protect them during shipment to the Editorial Office.
- Include printouts of text and image files; unmounted glossy prints of photographs are needed only if digital images are not provided. Back to Top
