Instructions to Authors
A submitted manuscript must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract or preliminary report), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if accepted, must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the study to a significant extent. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the Journal, its editors, or the publisher.
Patient anonymity and informed consent: It is the author's responsibility to ensure that a patient's anonymity be carefully protected and to verify that any experimental investigation with human subjects reported in the manuscript was performed with informed consent and following all the guidelines for experimental investigation with human subjects required by the institution(s) with which all the authors are affiliated. Authors should mask patients' eyes and remove patients' names from figures unless they obtain written consent from the patients and submit written consent with the manuscript.
Copyright: All authors must sign a copy of the Journal's "Authorship Responsibility, Financial Disclosure, and Copyright Transfer" form and submit it with the original manuscript.
Permissions: Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source. Any permissions fees that might be required by the copyright owner are the responsibility of the authors requesting use of the borrowed material, not the responsibility of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
General format: Submit manuscripts in English in quadruplicate (one original and three copies) and printed on standard 8 &#frac12; 11-inch (21 &#frac12; 28-cm) paper with at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Double space all copy, including legends, footnotes, tables, and references, and print on one side of the sheet only. All pages must be consecutively numbered. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors must then submit the final, accepted version of the manuscript on disk. In many instances, hard copy of manuscripts will not be returned to authors; please be sure to retain a copy for your own records.
Title page: Include on the title page (a) complete manuscript title; (b) authors' full names, highest academic degrees, and affiliations; (c) name and address for correspondence, including fax number, telephone number, and e-mail address; (d) address for reprints if different from that of corresponding author; (e) sources of support that require acknowledgment; and (f) a running head not exceeding 45 letters and spaces. The title page should also include a brief description of what each author contributed to the manuscript.
Unstructured abstract and key words: Limit the abstract to 150 words. It must be factual and comprehensive. Limit the use of abbreviations and acronyms, and avoid general statements (e.g., "the significance of the results is discussed"). Describe the purpose, methods, results and conclusions of the study. List up to six key words.
Text: Organize the manuscript into four main headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Define abbreviations at first mention in text and in each table and figure. If a brand name is cited, supply the manufacturer's name and address (city and state/country). Acknowledge all forms of support, including pharmaceutical and industry support, in an Acknowledgments paragraph.

Figures: Cite figures consecutively in the text, and number them in the order in which they are discussed. Write the first author's last name, the figure number and figure part (1A, 1B, 1C), and an arrow to indicate the top edge of the figure on a label pasted to the back of each figure. Submit all artwork in quadruplicate in camera-ready form; illustrations should be glossy prints or high-quality, laser-printed illustrations. Photocopies are unacceptable. Lettering should be large enough that it will remain legible after figure reduction; typewritten or unprofessional lettering is unacceptable. Figure parts (A, B, C) may be left unlabeled (but clearly marked on back) for professional placement by the Journal's printer.
Figure legends: Legends must be submitted for all figures. They should be brief and specific, and they should appear on a separate manuscript page after the references. Use scale markers in the image for electron micrographs, and indicate the type of stain used.
Color figures: The journal accepts for publication color figures that will enhance an article. Authors who submit color figures will receive an estimate of the cost for color reproduction. If they decide not to pay for color reproduction, they can request that the figures be converted to black and white at no charge.
Digital figures: Electronic art should be created/scanned and saved and submitted as either a TIFF (tagged image file format), an EPS (encapsulated postscript) file, or a PPT (Power Point) file. Line art must have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi (dots per inch), and electronic photographs—radiographs, CT scans, and so on—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/scanned and saved and submitted as CMYK files. All electronic art must be accompanied by high-resolution laser prints of the images. Files can be submitted on a 3?inch high-density disk, a CD-ROM, or an Iomega Zip disk. Please note that artwork generated from office suite programs such Corel Draw and MS Word and artwork downloaded from the Internet (JPEG or GIFF files) cannot be used.
Tables: Cite tables consecutively in the text, and number them in that order. Key each on a separate sheet and include the table title, appropriate column heads, and explanatory legends (including definitions of any abbreviations used). Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript. They should be self-explanatory and should supplement, rather than duplicate, the material in the text. The Editors, upon acceptance of a manuscript, may recommend that additional tables containing important backup data too extensive to publish be deposited with an archival service, or made available by the authors. In that event, an appropriate statement will be added to the text. Submit such tables for consideration with the manuscript.
Style: Pattern manuscript style after the American Medical Association Manual of Style (9th edition). Stedman's Medical Dictionary (27th edition) and Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition) should be used as standard references. Refer to drugs and therapeutic agents by their accepted generic or chemical names, and do not abbreviate them. Use code numbers only when a generic name is not yet available. In that case, supply the chemical name and a figure giving the chemical structure of the drug. Capitalize the trade names of drugs and place them in parentheses after the generic names. To comply with trademark law, include the name and location (city and state in USA; city and country outside USA) of the manufacturer of any drug, supply, or equipment mentioned in the manuscript. Use the metric system to express units of measure and degrees Celsius to express temperatures, and use SI units rather than conventional units.
Address for manuscript submission: Send the manuscript with a cover letter that includes the corresponding author's e-mail address and full mailing address to Carol E.H. Scott-Conner, M.D., Ph.D., Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, Department of Surgery, The University of Iowa College of Medicine, 200 Hawkins Drive #1516 JCP, Iowa City, IA 52242-1086; 319-353-6811 (telephone); 319-384-8143 (fax); surgical-laparoscopy@uiowa.edu (please see the checklist at the end of these Instructions before mailing manuscripts). The editorial office will acknowledge receipt of your manuscript and will give you a manuscript number for reference. Address all inquiries regarding manuscripts not yet accepted or published to the Journal's editorial office. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter including the following, and signed by all authors: 1) information on prior or duplicate publication or submission elsewhere of any part of the work; 2) a statement of financial or other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest; 3) a statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all the authors, that the requirements for authorship have been met, and that each author believes that the manuscript represents honest work; and 4) the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author responsible for communicating with the other authors about revisions and final approval of the proofs. The letter should give any additional information that may be helpful to the Editor, such as the type of article that the manuscript represents and whether the author(s) would be willing to meet the cost of reproducing color illustrations.
The manuscript must also be accompanied by copies of any permissions to reproduce published material, to use illustrations or report information about identifiable people, or to name people for their contributions.
Rapid Communications
Rapid Communications are brief reports that present new ideas or data of particular originality and timeliness. When submitting a paper for consideration as a Rapid Communication, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Submit your paper by fax or air express service to the appropriate Editor with an accompanying letter stating why the paper merits special attention.
All figures should be submitted by overnight express.
The paper should not exceed 4 printed pages (approximately 12 double-spaced typewritten manuscript pages, including illustrations, tables and references).
The paper should include an abstract, key words, methods, results, discussion, and reference sections.
The title page should include the corresponding author's telephone and fax numbers.
Authors will receive proofs of their article for review by fax and will be expected to return corrections by fax within 48 hours of receipt. Changes received after this deadline will not be accepted.
Rapid Communications have priority with the editorial office and publisher. Decisions on acceptability will be made within 1 month of receipt, and papers will normally be published within 3 months of acceptance. Rapid Communications are restricted to material of sufficient novelty and importance to justify rapid publication. The criteria for acceptance of Rapid Communications will be more stringent than for full papers. Consideration of Rapid Communications will be strictly on an Accept or Reject basis; however, the Editors may, at their sole discretion, offer the authors a third option, to revise and resubmit. Any submissions will be re-reviewed on an expedited basis, but publication will generally not occur within the 3-month time frame noted above. Papers that are not accepted as Rapid Communications may be resubmitted as full-length articles.
Peer Review
All manuscripts undergo a process of peer review. Manuscripts are reviewed by 2 to 3 reviewers, utilizing a combination of members and nonmembers of the Editorial Board with particular interest or experience in specialized areas. Reviewers are invited to submit specific comments and critiques for the authors (redacted for reviewer anonymity) and confidential commentary to the Editors. The co-Editors-in-Chief review the manuscript in concert with this commentary and issue their editorial decision. Revised manuscripts are generally reviewed only by the Editors-in-Chief, although they reserve the right to solicit reviews at this stage as well.
After Acceptance
Page proofs and corrections: 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 the publisher. Those authors without an e-mail address will receive traditional page proofs. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs. Changes that have been made to conform to journal style will stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Only the most critical changes to the accuracy of the content will be made. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material will be disallowed. The publisher reserves the right to deny any changes that do not affect the accuracy of the content. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those required to correct errors or to answer queries. Proofs must be checked carefully and corrections faxed within 24 to 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the cover letter accompanying the page proofs.
Reprints: Authors will receive a reprint order form and a price list with the page proofs. Reprint requests should be faxed to the publisher with the corrected proofs, if possible. Reprints are normally shipped 6 to 8 weeks after publication of the issue in which the item appears. Contact the Reprint Department, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 with any questions.
Publisher's contact: Fax corrected page proofs, reprint order form, and any other related materials to Journal Production Editor, Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 215-521-8483 or 215-521-8485. Color proofs should be returned to Journal Production Editor, Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
