GENERAL INFORMATION
Investigative and Clinical Urology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering clinical and basic science relevant to physicians and researchers in the field of urology. The official abbreviated journal name is Investig Clin Urol. The journal is published bimonthly on 10th of January, March, May, July, September, and November, and supplementary issues are published if it is needed.
Material submitted for publication should be the result of a recent investigation, should be scientifically sound, and should be theoretically well organized. Manuscripts are considered for publication with the understanding that they have not been published previously and are not under consideration by another journal. ICUrology follows Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals available from http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/ and Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (joint statement by COPE, DOAJ, WAME, and OASPA) available from http://doaj.org/bestpractice if not described otherwise below.
SUBMISSION
Submission to ICUrology proceeds totally online via the web submission system for this journal, https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/icurology. You will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. You will need to provide an electronic version of your manuscript and a separate electronic version of the abstract. You must select a category for your manuscript (see below). Once the uploading is done, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence, including the editor's decision and request for revisions, will be done by e-mail. RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION ETHICS
This statement aims to provide guidelines about the responsibilities of authors who submit papers to ICUrology. This statement also helps reviewers and editors to prevent any malpractice associated with the publication of papers. This statement covers all papers, including review articles, original articles, innovations in urology, letters to editors, and any other publication types submitted to ICUrology.
1. Research Ethics
All manuscripts should be prepared in strict observation of the research and publication ethics guidelines recommended by the Council of Science Editors ( http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/), International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, http://www.icmje.org/), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME, http://www.wame.org/), and the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE, https://www.kamje.or.kr/en/main_en). Any study including human subjects or human data must be reviewed and approved by a responsible institutional review board (IRB). Please refer to the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki ( https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/) for all investigations involving human materials. Animal experiments also should be reviewed by an appropriate committee for the care and use of animals. Also studies with pathogens requiring a high degree of biosafety should pass review of a relevant committee. The editor of ICUrology may request submission of copies of informed consent from human subjects in clinical studies or IRB approval documents. A clinical trial defined as "any research project that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention and comparison groups to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome" should be registered to the primary registry prior to publication. ICUrology accepts registration in any of the primary registries that participate in the WHO International Clinical Trials Portal ( http://www.who.int/ictrp/en/), NIH ClinicalTrials.gov ( http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/), ISRCTN Register ( http://www.isrctn.com/), University Hospital Medical Information Network ( http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index/htm/), or Clinical Research Information Service ( http://cris.nih.go.kr). The clinical trial registration number shall be published at the end of the abstract. Authors should consult and follow the relevant guidelines for reporting health research data, such as the CONSORT guidelines ( http://www.consort-statement.org/) for randomized, controlled trials and the PRISMA statement ( http://www.prisma-statement.org/) for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.
2. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest may exist when an author (or the author's institution or employer) has financial or personal relationships or affiliations that could influence the author's decisions or work on the manuscript. Authors are required to identify all relevant financial interests and relationships or financial conflicts (e.g., employment/affiliation, grants or funding, consultancies, stock ownership or options, royalties, or patents filed, received, or pending), particularly those present at the time the research was conducted and through publication, as well as other financial interests that represent potential future financial gain. The disclosure of funding should be indicated in the Acknowledgments section within the manuscript.
3. Authorship and Author's Responsibilities
The ICUrology requires that all authors complete an authorship form (download form at https://www.icurology.org/index.php?body=instruction) in their cover letter. The ICUrology follows the recommendations for authorship by the ICMJE, 2019 ( http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf). Author credit should be based on (1) substantial contributions to the conception and design, or acquisition, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; (3) final approval of the version to be published; and (4) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. All those designated as authors should meet all four criteria for authorship, and all who meet the four criteria should be identified as authors. Those who do not meet all four criteria should be acknowledged. These authorship criteria are intended to preserve the status of authorship for those who deserve credit and can take responsibility for the work. Group authorship should identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship and should complete an authorship form. The corresponding author should clearly indicate the preferred citation and identify all individual authors as well as the group name .
4. Publication Ethics
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously in print or electronic format and are not under consideration by another publication or electronic medium. Copies of related or possibly duplicative materials (i.e., those containing substantially similar content or using the same or similar data) that have been previously published or are under consideration elsewhere must be provided at the time of manuscript submission.
The editorial board should monitor and guard publication ethics about all papers submitted to ICUrology. All manuscripts submitted to the ICUrology may be screened, using the iThenticate tool (Similarity Check), for textual similarity to other previously published works. The Editorial Board of ICUrology will immediately reject a submitting manuscript which has a high similarity index to other papers in the Similarity Check. When malpractices are found in the submitted article to ICUrology, ICUrology will follow the flowchart by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE, http://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts) for settlement of any misconduct. The editorial board of ICUrology is always willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions when needed.

Three to five keywords should be listed below the abstract (in alphabetical order, separated by semicolons) as follows: Benign prostatic hyperplasia; Doxazosin; Lower urinary tract symptoms. For the selection of keywords, please refer to the medical subject headings (MeSH) of Index Medicus ( http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html). Use of MeSH on Demand is also recommended: https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/MeSHonDemand.
3. Introduction: The background related to the study and the purpose of investigation should be described briefly and clearly.
4. Materials and Methods: This section should be written concisely in either chronological order or the order in which the study was conducted. The subject characteristics and inclusion and exclusion criteria should be specified in investigations involving humans. The sources of special chemicals or equipment used in the study should be given along with their locations (names of the company, city, and country). Procedures that have been published previously need not be described in detail, but merely cited with appropriate references. However, new and significant modifications of previously published procedures need complete explanation sufficient for repetition by qualified investigators. The methods of experiment, analysis, and statistical analysis should be described clearly in the past tense. When the content is long, use subheadings for easier understanding. An ethics statement should be included here when the studies are performed using clinical samples or data, or animals. An example is shown below.
(Example for clinical study)
- The present study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of ### University College of Medicine (approval number: 000000). Informed consent was obtained by all subjects when they were enrolled.
(Example for animal study)
- The procedures used and the care of animals were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) in ### University (approval number: 000000).
(Example for clinical trials)
(Description of participants)
- Ensure correct use of the terms sex (when reporting biological factors) and gender (identity, psychosocial or cultural factors), and unless inappropriate, report the sex and/or gender of study participants, the sex of animals or cells, and describe the methods used to determine sex and gender. If the study was done involving an exclusive population, for example in only one sex, authors should justify why, except in obvious cases (e.g., prostate cancer). Authors should define how they determined race or ethnicity and justify their relevance.
5. Results: This section should include a concise textual description of the data presented in tables and figures, in the same order as appearing in the Materials and Methods section. Excessive elaboration of data already given in tables and figures should be avoided. The results obtained from subject analysis such as age and gender distribution are not mentioned in this section. The tense should be in the past form.
6. Discussion: In this section, the data should be interpreted concisely without repeating material already presented in the Results section. The logical answers to the questions stated in the Introduction section should be proposed. The content should be limited to new and important information related to the study results.
7. Conclusions: The conclusions or opinions by the author(s) drawn from the Results and Discussion sections and befitting the purpose(s) of the study should be described comprehensively, while avoiding a simple summary or redundant information. Future study direction or expected effects are also best avoided.
8. Conflicts of interest: All authors should disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately affect the study. Even in cases in which the authors have no conflicts of interest, the authors should declare this as follows: The authors have nothing to disclose.
9. Acknowledgments: The persons or institutes that contributed to the work but were not included as coauthors may be acknowledged. Any financial or technical support should also be stated.
10. Author Contribution: Enter all author contributions in the submission system during submission. The contributions of all authors must be described using the CRediT Taxonomy of author roles. Read the policy.
To qualify for authorship, all contributors must meet at least one of the seven core contributions (conceptualization, methodology, software, validation, formal analysis, investigation, and data curation), as well as at least one of the writing contributions (original draft preparation, review, and editing). Authors may also satisfy the other remaining contributions; however, these alone will not qualify them for authorship.
Contributions will be published with the final article, and they should accurately reflect contributions to the work. The submitting author is responsible for completing this information at submission, and it is expected that all authors will have reviewed, discussed, and agreed to their individual contributions prior to manuscript submission.

SIMILARITY CHECK (CROSSCHECK)
For editorial originality, Similarity Check helps editors compare the text of submitted papers for similarity. To find out more about Similarity Check, visit https://www.crossref.org/services/similarity-check/. All manuscripts submitted to ICUrology will be screened, using the iThenticate tool, for textual similarity to other previously published works PEER REVIEW AND PUBLICATION PROCESS
All manuscripts are subject to peer review, and accepted articles will be published in ICUrology.
1. Registration for submission: Manuscripts should conform strictly to journal style. Manuscripts that do not fit the style and format of the journal will be returned to the author without review. Any manuscript registered is given a registration number, which will be e-mailed or faxed to the corresponding author.
2. Review: Manuscripts will be reviewed by 3 peer reviewers. The reviewers will be blinded to the names of the authors and the institution from which the manuscripts have been sent, that is, double-blind review. The editors reserve the right to improve the style and format and, if necessary, to return the manuscript for rewriting to the author. Once an author is requested to revise his/her manuscript, he/she should resubmit the revised manuscript through the online submission system. A covering letter must accompany all revised manuscripts and indicate clearly what alterations have been made in response to the reviewer's comments. Satisfactory reasons should be given for noncompliance with any of the recommendations of the editors. Accepted manuscripts will be copyedited to ensure they conform to the journal's style and format. The final version of the manuscript following copyediting will be sent back to the author only if specific queries need clarification.
3. Certificate of publication: Once the manuscript is accepted for publication in ICUrology, a certificate of publication stating that the manuscript will be published can be issued on demand by the author(s).
4. Editorial Comment and Reply by Authors: With the decision of the editors, editorial comment can be attached to the manuscript. If the author(s) reply, the reply can also be published.
5. Printing: The authors should proofread and edit their accepted manuscript carefully before printing and can still request additional correction at this stage. The Editorial Committee decides whether to publish the manuscript and the order in which the manuscript is published.
6. Feedback after Publication: If the authors or readers find any errors, or contents that should be revised, corrections can be requested from the Editorial Board. The Editorial Board may consider erratum, corrigendum, or a retraction. If any revisions to the article are published, a CrossMark description will be issued to announce the final draft.
