Throughout 130 years of its existence, the Swiss Medical Weekly has played a decisive role in Swiss clinical research. To reach more European authors and more readers worldwide, we have switched from our multilingual tradition to an English-only journal. Editorial first issue 2001 The quality of SMW publications is guaranteed by a consistent policy of peer review. The guidelines for authors are based on the guidelines published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Title abbreviation for Index Medicus / MEDLINE Swiss Med Wkly from January 2001 Continues: Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift (Schweiz Med Wochenschr) / Journal Suisse de M¨¦decine (1920-2000) and Correspondenz-Blatt fr Schweizer Aerzte (1871-1919) Abstracted/indexed in Index Medicus / MEDLINE Current Contents / Science Citation Index EMBASE Excerpta Medica Reference Update   Instructions to Authors   The Swiss Medical Weekly accepts for consideration previously unpublished original articles from all fields of medicine. In addition to clinical topics, manuscripts dealing with basic medical science are welcome if they are of (1) general and (2) clinical interest. Prior to publication, all manuscripts, with the exception of Editorials and Letters to the Editors, undergo peer review. The Editorial Board may decline a paper on the basis of internal review and rapidly return the manuscript, usually within three weeks. The guidelines for authors are based on the guidelines published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (Uniform Requirements).. Categories of manuscripts: Original clinical articles Original articles on clinical investigation and experimental medicine Basic science in medicine (by invitation only) Reviews (after prior consultation with the Editorial Board only) Minireviews (by invitation only) Editorials (by invitation only) Correspondence Original articles can also be submitted as "Short communications" or as "Rapid publications" (see below). The submission of case reports is discouraged. Novel observations including new laboratory findings or therapeutic approaches can be submitted as short communications. General issues Authorship Authorship credit should be based only on (1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and (3) final approval of the version to be published. Conditions 1, 2, and 3 must all be met. Acquisition of funding, the collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, by themselves, do not justify authorship, nor does the fact of being in sole charge of the clinic or department in which the article was prepared. Such contributions should be listed as acknowledgements. In view of these requirements, more than six authors will be listed only in exceptional cases. All authors must sign the author's form: Click here to download a pdf version of the author's form Redundant or duplicate publication Publications partly duplicating material in the submitted paper should be enclosed with it. Financial support Outside financial support or other financial or personal relationships in connection with the submitted manuscript should be indicated in a footnote. Ethics Human and animal studies require approval by ethics committees. When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate in the "Methods" section whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) and with the Helsinki Declaration. Protection of patients' rights to privacy Identifying information should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that the patient be shown the manuscript to be published. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential, but patient data should never be altered or falsified in an attempt to attain anonymity. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. Rapid publication If authors feel that for reasons of general or public interest their manuscript requires more expeditious publication and quick processing through peer review, they may inform the Editorial Board by an e-mail inquiry indicating: - the reasons the authors think the manuscript should be published immediately; - the question(s) addressed by the study; - the results obtained; - the implications of the findings.
