The Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) is devoted to the timely publication of peer-reviewed clinical and laboratory studies in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. JVIR is the official journal of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR). Statements made in published articles are the responsibility of the authors and not of JVIR or SIR.
These instructions follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (N Engl J Med 1997; 336:309 or see http://www.icmje.org/index.html). Once accepted, manuscripts are copy edited to conform to the Journal's standards and style. Accepted manuscripts become the property of JVIR and may not be published in whole or in part without the express written permission of the author(s) and the Journal (see below).
A signed copyright transfer, certificate of exclusive submission, and financial disclosure statement must be sent by regular mail or facsimile at the time of manuscript submission. These forms are published in every issue of the Journal and are available online at http://www.jvir.org/misc/cta.pdf. For officers or employees of the U.S. government, SIR recognizes that works prepared as part of their official government duties are in the public domain, but they must still sign the copyright agreements.
Submissions involving authors with financial interests in a company or organization must provide disclosure. After review of this statement, the Editor will determine whether a real or perceived conflict of interest exists. If so, a notation of the financial relationship will be included as a footnote on the first page of the article.
Manuscripts will only be reviewed and accepted with the understanding that they are contributed solely to JVIR. Authors must be certain that no manuscript on the same or similar material has been or will be submitted to another journal by themselves, their co-authors, or others at their institution before their work appears in JVIR. The submission by authors of similar material to advertising, broadcast, or electronic media must be indicated at the time JVIR receives the manuscript.
It is the author's responsibility to ensure that patient anonymity is carefully protected. Authors from US institutions must comply with all regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
If an Institutional Review Board (IRB) exists at the institution(s) in which any study involving human subjects is conducted, the investigators must obtain prior approval. This requirement applies to prospective and retrospective studies (including technical notes and case reports) that involve any direct interaction with patients OR evaluation or review of private information (eg, imaging studies or chart reviews). See Valji K. IRB Approval- Who Needs It? J Vasc Interv Radiol 2002;13:225-226.
If the IRB at the participating institution does not require approval for the type of research being performed, a statement to this effect must be included in the manuscript. If no IRB existed at the time the study was initiated, the authors must include a statement in the manuscript indicating as such and that principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (http://ohsr.od.nih.gov/helsinki.php3) were followed. If a manuscript reports on the emergent use of a material or device not approved by the Food and Drug Administration or accepted as standard of practice, the authors must state that they obtained informed consent from the patient (when feasible) and reported the case to the local IRB within 1 week of the event. This procedure is only valid for a single patient.
Manuscripts reporting research involving animals must include a statement that either the protocol was approved by an institutional animal care board or that the animal care complied with the "Principles of Laboratory Care" (formulated by the National Society for Medical Research) or the "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" (National Institutes of Health).
JVIR publishes several types of articles, each of which has a distinct format.
Clinical and Laboratory Investigations are the central focus of the Journal and are based on original clinical or experimental studies. The complete format is described below.
Brief Reports include descriptions of a new or modified interventional procedure or device and small clinical studies or case reports. A brief one paragraph abstract (less than 100 words) should be included. In general, limit the paper to six pages of text, 15 references, and no more than eight figure parts.
Review Articles are generally invited by the Editor. Specific instructions are provided at the time of invitation.
Letters to the Editor can be used to offer commentary on any material published in JVIR. Letters may also be used to convey material of more general interest to the interventional radiology community. On occasion, the Editor may offer such space for submitted case reports that do not receive high enough priority for publication as such. Letters should be no longer than three pages with no more than four references. Only one figure (with no more than four figure parts) can be submitted. Letters to the Editor are accepted for publication at the discretion of the Editor and may be copyedited for content and length.
The preferred word processing program is Microsoft Word. Manuscripts must be written with 12 point font, double-spaced throughout (including tables, references, and figure legends), and have at least 3 cm margins. The text should be ragged right (no right justification). Embedded instructions (eg, italics, underlines, boldface) should not be used or kept to a minimum Do not use coding for centering. Insert only one space after punctuation marks. Sequential page numbering should begin with the text. The order of sections is Title Page (hard copy submissions only), Blind Title Page, Abstract, Text, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, and Figure Legends. To ensure blinded peer-review, no direct references to the author(s) or institution of origin should be made anywhere except the title page.
Title Page: Do not include a title page with on-line manuscript submission. For hard copy submissions, include the full title of the manuscript, full names and degrees of all authors, name and street address (not P.O. Box) of institution from which the work originated (and current institutions of co-authors who have subsequently moved), the name, complete address, telephone, FAX, and e-mail address for the corresponding author, and reference to any grant support. Below the full title, provide a running title of no more than 60 characters (including spaces and punctuation). If the work has been presented (or will be presented) at an SIR Annual Meeting, a statement to that effect should be provided at the bottom of the page. Grant support or direct financial interests of authors to products or techniques cited in the manuscript should also be stated at the bottom of the page.
Abstract: The abstract for original clinical and laboratory investigations should be no longer than 250 words and should include Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusion. For brief reports and review articles, the abstract is a short (less than 100 word) unstructured paragraph. Remember that many readers will only come to know the authors' work through the abstract. Actual data (with statistical significance) should be included in the Results. The conclusions should be drawn directly from the results of the study. Note that the conclusion will be used as a summary statement of your work in the Table of Contents.
Introduction: Provide a brief summary (usually less than one page) of background material to set the stage for your paper. This section should end with a succinct statement of the purpose of your study.
Materials and Methods: Describe the nature of the subjects, methods of selection, materials (including manufacturers' names and locations), and all procedures. The characteristics of study group(s) (such as sex distribution, mean age, underlying medical problems) should be included in this section. References should be made to established methods that have been published. New or substantially modified methods should be described, supported with rationale, and critically evaluated for real and potential limitations. This section should conclude with a description (and references and names of computer software packages when appropriate) of all statistical methods used to analyze the data.
Results: Report of data and observations should be in logical sequence in the text, tables and illustrations. Data given in tables should not be repeated in the text. Complex reports may require subheadings in this section.
Discussion: Consider new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that can be drawn directly from your data. Include implications of findings, and relate observations to other relevant studies. Include a separate paragraph that outlines the limitations of your study. Avoid claiming priority, alluding to work that has not been completed, or making unqualified statements not supported by your data. Recommendations, when appropriate, should be made.
Acknowledgments: On this separate page, list any significant contributors to the conduct of the study or preparation of the manuscript other than your co-authors. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from persons acknowledged for reasons other than technical, secretarial, or financial support.
References: Number the references in the order in which they appear in the text (including references in tables at the site where they are mentioned in the text). Reference numbers appear on line within parentheses (not bracketed, not superscripted). With the exception of review articles, no more than 35-40 references should be made. The abbreviations used for periodicals follow the style of Index Medicus. Unpublished data are not cited in the reference list but cited parenthetically in the text. For individuals using computer bibliographies (eg, End Note), JVIR style is Vancouver.
For journal articles with six or fewer authors, list surnames and initials of all authors, such as:
- Graham DJ, Alexander JJ. The effects of thrombin on bovine and aortic endothelial and smooth muscle cells. J Vasc Surg 1990; 11:307-313.
Note that inclusive page numbers are required. When seven or more authors are listed, only the first three names need to be identified, followed by "et al", such as:
- Patchell RA, Tibbs PA, Walsh JW, et al. A randomized trial of surgery in the treatment of single metastases to the brain. N Engl J Med 1990; 322:494-500.
Abstracts, editorials, and letters to the editor should be noted as such. For book references, the authors of the chapter, chapter title, editor(s), book title, edition, city of publication, publisher, year of publication and inclusive pages must be provided:
- Haskal ZJ. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS). In: Kandarpa K, Aruny JE, eds. Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures, Third Edition. Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2002;232-244.
For papers presented at a meeting but not published, these oral presentations take the following form:
- Zupko K. Patients.com: Using the Internet to build your practice. Presented at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology; March 27, 2000; San Diego, Ca.
For citation to material on a web site, use the following:
- Kim RY, Parker W, Blom P, Weintraub J, Susman J, Haskal ZJ. The safety of pulmonary angiography in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. SCVIR Case Club 2000;4:4. Available at http://www.scvir.org. Accessed May 23, 2000.
If reference is made in the text to personal communication (oral or written) as a source of information, a signed statement is required from the source. Please be certain that all references are accurate and complete. Tables: Tables should be referenced in the text, numbered sequentially in Arabic numerals, and have a title. All abbreviations used in the table should be explained in a footnote. No vertical lines or shading should be included in the tables, and excessive use of horizontal lines within the table should be avoided. Construct tables using the table creating and editing feature of your word processing program. Do not use Excel or comparable spreadsheets. Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript.
Captions for Illustrations: A caption must be supplied for each illustration and should not duplicate text material. Figure captions should appear on one or more pages separate from the text as well as below each figure (for hard copy submissions).
Units and Abbreviations: Laboratory values and radiation measurements should be given in the International System of Units (SI) (Now read this: the SI units are here. JAMA 1986;255:2329-2339; SI units in radiation protection and measurements, NCRP report no. 82, August 1985). Standard abbreviations (e.g., TIPS, PTA) are permissible. Laboratory slang and clinical jargon should be avoided. Keep unique abbreviations to a minimum. Spell out the full term for each abbreviation at first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measure.
Hard Copy Illustrations. Until April 1, 2004, authors may submit three complete sets of glossy photographs for illustrations. Unretouched glossy prints, no larger than 12.7 ?17.8 cm (5 ?7 in) are desirable. Illustrations should be limited to those required to show the essential points of the paper. Illustrations of accepted manuscripts become the property of the SIR and will be retained for two years. Drawings and charts should be computer drawn and printed on a high quality laser jet printer or rendered in India ink on white paper.
All illustrations must have a label on the back indicating figure number and top. The author's name or institution should not be evident anywhere on the illustration. Figures must be individually mounted on white paper, preferably with Scotch Removable Magic Tape (3M, St. Paul, MN). Please do not add letters or numbers to the face of illustrations to identify the figure part. Removable arrows should be placed on the final print (not on the original radiograph). Illustrations that have been electronically manipulated should be identified and the alterations described. An original image should accompany the altered image.
Digital Illustrations. After April 1, 2004, all artwork must be submitted in electronic format. For a guide to preparation of digital illustrations, see J Vasc Interv Radiol 2003;14:1223-1229. Figures should be created or scanned and then saved and submitted as either a Photoshop TIFF file or Illustrator EPS file. Please note: JPEG, GIFF, PowerPoint, Excel, CorelDRAW Quattro Pro, MS Word, and files downloaded from the Internet cannot be used. Each figure file should contain a single figure part. Line art must have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi (dots per inch). Imaging studies (e.g., radiographs, CT scans) and scanned images must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. If fonts are used in the artwork, they must be converted to paths or outlines or they must be embedded in the files. Color images must be created or scanned and then saved and submitted as CMYK files. All electronic figures that cannot be successfully uploaded during manuscript submission should be submitted on a CD-ROM or Zip disk accompanied by a high resolution laser print of each image.
Some common mistakes in submitting electronic artwork:
- Saving TIFF files at a resolution below 300 dpi. The dpi of a TIFF image is determined by the digital camera. Be sure to shoot images at the proper resolution. If images have been photographed by normal methods, printed into glossies, and then scanned, the scanner determines the dpi of the electronic file and must be set properly.
- Incorrect adjustment of shading. The process of setting images into a journal is different from printing them on a laser printer. One result of this discrepancy is that the shading settings commonly used for printing to a printer (shading at 100% black and 100% white) are mistakenly used on images to be printed in a journal. The result is that images look stark and detail-obliterated. The shading settings on images to be printed in a journal are 93% black and 93% white.
- Submitting color images as Red, Blue, Green (RGB) rather than Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CMYK) files. Again, this problem is created by a discrepancy between desktop procedures and journal-printing procedures. At your computer you view images in RGB format because the computer screen is set to show images via that color spectrum; in printing, however, color is created with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK), and files must be set accordingly. Almost all images downloaded from the Internet are in RGB and unacceptable.
Mail submission. Until April 1, 2004, JVIR will continue to accept hard copy manuscript submissions. Four complete sets of text and three sets of figures must be supplied. Only the figures of rejected manuscripts will be returned to the author.
Electronic submission. On-line submissions will not be accepted in 2003. Beginning January 1, 2004, authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts on-line at https://jvir.edmgr.com. If art and figure files cannot be successfully uploaded, they may be sent to the Editorial Office by mail for processing by the editorial staff. After April 1, 2004, on-line submission of the entire manuscript will be required. The website contains instructions on use of the system, guidance on preparation of electronic art material, and supporting documentation. The site also allows authors to follow the progress of manuscripts through the peer review process.
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the instructions outlined above may be returned to the author for technical revision. Title, author, and correspondence information is supplied directly into the database. Do not submit a title page of any kind. Prepare a single text file that contains all elements of the manuscript except the figures (Abstract [if required], Text, References, Tables, Figure Legends). Remove any references to the authors or origin of the paper. Include any acknowledgements in the revised version of accepted manuscripts.
Corresponding authors will receive electronic page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. Portable document format (PDF) files of the typeset pages and support documents (eg, reprint order form) will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. Complete instructions will be provided with the e-mail for downloading and printing the files and for faxing the corrected page proofs to JVIR. Changes that have been made to conform with journal style will stand if they do not alter the author's meaning. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material will not be allowed. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs. Proofs must be checked carefully and corrections faxed within 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the cover letter accompanying the page proofs.
Written permission must be granted by the publisher and author to reproduce any previously published figures. A copy of the letter must be submitted with the manuscript. Any such material must be clearly noted and its source given in the manuscript. A letter of permission must accompany photographs of patients or health care workers if they could possibly be recognized.
