About the journal
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques is an international, peer-reviewed journal for practicing surgeons. The Journal focuses on the latest cutting-edge surgical techniques and advanced surgical technologies that encompass the following:
- Laparoscopy
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Endoscopy
- Natural orifice surgery (endolumenl and NOTES)
- Robotics
- and other advanced surgical technologies and techniques
Recognizing that many new technologies and techniques have significant overlap with many surgical specialties, it is the first journal to focus on these topics both in general and pediatric surgery, and includes other surgical subspecialties such as:
- Urology
- Gynecologic surgery
- Thoracic surgery
- and more…
The Journal is ideally suited to surgeons who are early adopters of new technology and techniques and younger surgeons who want to keep up with the newest thinking and technologies in surgery.
The Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques is the Official Journal of the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (www.ipeg.org)
Instructions to Authors
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND POLICY
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques will accept original manuscripts which contain material that has not been reported elsewhere, except in the form of an abstract of not more than 400 words. Prior abstract presentations should be described in a footnote to the title. Submissions should be accompanied by a letter requesting evaluation for publication.
Manuscript Submission and Copyright Agreement Form
The Copyright Agreement form (available from web site at http://www.liebertpub.com/media/content/transfer_of_copyright.pdf) should be submitted once your article has been accepted for publication. Manuscripts cannot be published without this form. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining signatures of coauthors. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form signed under the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright. Upon acceptance of your article, please fax the Copyright Agreement form to 914-740-2108.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts should be submitted double spaced with ample margins on both sides, top, and bottom.
The title page should include the authors' names and affiliations, the source of a work or study (if any), and a running title of about 45 characters. Please indicate the name, address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Title pages must be submitted as part of the manuscript document. The second page should consist of an abstract of not more than 250 words, which should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The articles should follow this format: abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, references. Number pages consecutively. At the end of the article, give the name and address of the individual to whom reprint requests should be directed. Revised articles must include a cover letter stating the required changes and a revised manuscript without track changes.
Please follow the requested style to avoid delays in publication. Consult an issue of the Journal for the exact format.
TABLES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Remember each table must stand alone, i.e., contain all necessary information in the caption, and the table itself must be understood independently of the text. Details of experimental conditions should be included in the table footnotes. Information that appears in the text should not be repeated in tables, and tables should not contain data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
Please follow these guidelines for submitting figures:
• Do NOT embed art files into a Word or PDF document.
• Line illustrations should be submitted at 1200 dpi.
• Halftones and color should be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi.
• Save as either TIFF or EPS files.
• Color art must be saved as CYMK — not RGB.
• Black and White art must be submitted as grayscale — not RGB.
• Do NOT submit PowerPoint, PDF, Bitmap, or Excel files.
Please name your artwork files with the submitting author's name, i.e., SmithFig1.tif, SmithTable2.tif etc. Authors who do not follow these guidelines may have their submission returned to them without being reviewed.
In order to expedite your submission as quickly and efficiently as possible we ask that all artwork be checked using Digital Expert before submitting. This is a free tool that will ensure that you prepare and submit quality digital materials suitable for print.
Go to http://dx.sheridan.com to check your image files.
You will be given directions on how to correct any files that do not pass.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ART FILES
Converting Word or Excel files: Perhaps the best and easiest way to convert Word or Excel files into a format that is suitable for print is to scan them using the guidelines below:
• All files should be scanned at 100% size.
• Use 300 dpi
• Final color mode: cmyk
• Save file as: .tif or .eps

___________________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT:
Please upload individual files of all manuscript material — do NOT upload a single PDF file containing all text, figure, and table files of your article. Once all individual files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you and the peer-review process.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Immediately following the Acknowledgments section, include a section entitled “Disclosure Statement.” In this portion of the article, authors must disclose any commercial associations that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts. This statement should include appropriate information for EACH author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the Journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will remain confidential while the article is being reviewed and will not influence the editorial decision. Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at http://www.icmje.org/index.htlm#conflicts for further guidance. If no conflicts exist, the authors must state “No competing financial interests exist."
When naming your figure files, please label them with your manuscript number, followed by a period (.), and then list the figure number. Ex: MET-2008-0123.Fig1. Label figures and tables inside the files in addition to naming the file with the figure or table number. (i.e: When figures or table files are opened, the figure or table number should appear inside the file.)

References should be presented in the following style: Journal articles: Ko ST, Airan MC. Technique and early experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholangiogram.
