Instructions to Authors
Indian Journal of Orthopaedics welcomes articles that contribute to Orthopaedic knowledge from all sources in all countries. Articles are accepted only for exclusive publication in Indian Journal of Orthopaedics. Previously published articles, even those in peer-reviewed electronic publications, are not accepted by Indian Journal of Orthopaedics. Publication does not constitute official endorsement of opinions presented in articles. Published articles and illustrations become the property of the Journal. If the Editor of IJO requests additional data forming the basis for the work, the authors will make the data available for examination in a timely fashion. All manuscripts dealing with the study of human subjects must include a statement that the subjects gave Informed Consent to participate in the study and that the study has been approved by an institutional review board or a similar committee. All studies should be carried out in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. All manuscripts dealing with experimental results in animals must include a statement that the study has been approved by an animal study or Ethics committee. Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with "Uniform requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journal" developed by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (October 2004). The uniform requirements and specific requirement of Indian Journal of Orthopaedics are summarized below. Before sending a manuscript contributors are requested to check for the latest instructions available. Instructions are also available from the website of the journal (http://www.ijooline.com) and from the manuscript submission site (http://www.journalonweb.com/ortho).
Types of Manuscripts and Limits
Original articles: Randomised controlled trials, intervention studied, studies of screening and diagnostic test, outcome studies, cost effectiveness analyses, case-control series, and surveys with high response rate. Up to 3000 words excluding references and abstract.
Review articles: Systemic critical assessments of literature and data sources. Up to 4000 words excluding references and abstract. The review articles should reflect systematic reviews and contain substantive citations from current literature. The authors must state how they selected the literature and wether and how they judged the study quality.
Case reports: new/interesting/very rare cases can be reported. Cases with clinical significance or implications will be given priority, whereas, mere reporting of a rare case may not be considered. Up to 1000 words excluding references and abstract and up to 10 references.
Letter to the Editor: Should be short, decisive observation. They should not be preliminary observations that need a later paper for validation. Up to 400 words and 4 references.

Sending the Manuscript to the Journal
Send three copies of the manuscript along with a covering letter, contributors' form signed by all the contributors, checklist and CD in a heavy-paper envelope. Place the photographs in a separate heavy-paper envelope. The covering letter must include
A full statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant publication of the same or very similar work. Any such work should be referred to specifically, and referenced in the new paper. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted paper, to help the editor decide how to handle the matter.
A statement of financial or other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest, if that information is not included in the manuscript itself or in an authors' form
A statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all the authors, that the requirements for authorship as stated earlier in this document have been met, and that each author believes that the manuscript represents honest work, if that information is not provided in another form (see below); and
The name, address, and telephone number of the corresponding author, who is responsible for communicating with the other authors about revisions and final approval of the proofs, if that information is not included on the manuscript itself.
Copies of any permission(s) to reproduce published material, and to use illustrations or report information about identifiable people must accompany the manuscript. Copies of any and all published articles or other manuscripts in preparation or submitted elsewhere that are related to the manuscript must also accompany the manuscript. The manuscript should be sent to
Dr. A. K. Jain,
Editor, Indian Journal of Orthopaedics,
Department of Orthopaedics,
University College of Medical Sciences and GTB Hospital,
Dilshad Garden, 110095, Delhi, India.
E-mail: editor[at]ijoonline[dot]com.
The text and figures MUST exclude all references to the source of work and the authors, otherwise the paper may be returned to the author for correction before it is sent out for review.
Online Submission of the Manuscripts
Articles can also be submitted online from http://www.journalonweb.com. New authors will have to register as author, which is a simple two step procedure. For online submission articles should be prepared in two files (first page file and article file). Images should be submitted separately.
First Page File: Prepare the title page, covering letter, acknowledgement, etc. using a word processor program. All information which can reveal your identity should be here. Use text/rtf/doc/pdf files. Do not zip the files.
Article file: The main text of the article, beginning from Abstract till References (including tables) should be in this file. Do not include any information (such as acknowledgement, your names in page headers, etc.) in this file. Use text/rtf/doc/pdf files. Do not zip the files. Limit the file size to 400 kb. Do not incorporate images in the file. If file size is large, graphs can be submitted as images separately without incorporating them in the article file to reduce the size of the file.
Images: Submit good quality color images. Each image should be less than 400 kb in size. Size of the image can be reduced by decreasing the actual height and width of the images (keep up to 1024x760 pixels or 5 inches). All image formats (jpeg, tiff, gif, bmp, png, eps, etc.) are acceptable; jpeg is most suitable. Do not zip the files.
Legends: Legends for the figures/images should be included at the end of the article file. If the manuscript is submitted online, the contributors' form and copyright transfer form has to be submitted in original with the signatures of all the contributors within two weeks from submission. Hard copies of the images (one set), for articles submitted online, should be sent to the journal office at the time of submission of a revised manuscript.
Preparation of the Manuscript
The text of observational and experimental articles should be divided into sections with the headings: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, References, Tables, Figures, Figure legends, and Acknowledgment. Do not make subheadings in these sections. Send laser printout, on white thick paper, of A4 size (212 × 297 mm), with margins of 25 mm (1 inch) from all the four sides. Type or print on only one side of the paper. Use double spacing throughout. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page. The language should be British English.
Title Page
The title page should carry
Type of manuscript (e.g. Original article, Case Report)
The title of the article, which should be concise, but informative;
Running title or short title not more than 50 characters;
The name by which each contributor is known (Last name, First name and initials of middle name), with his or her highest academic degree(s) and institutional affiliation;
The name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed;
The name, address, phone numbers, facsimile numbers and e-mail address of the contributor responsible for correspondence about the manuscript;
The total number of pages, total number of photographs and word counts separately for abstract and for the text (excluding the references and abstract);
Source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these;
Acknowledgement, if any; and
If the manuscript was presented as part at a meeting, the organisation, place, and exact date on which it was read.
Abstract Page
The second page should carry the full title of the manuscript and a structured abstract, consisting of four paragraphs, with the headings Background (the primary research question must be clearly stated here), Methods, Results and Conclusion and level of evidence (for clinical articles) and level of relevance (for basic science articles). The abstract will precede the text of the published paper. An abstract is not needed for case reports. Below the abstract provide three to ten key words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross indexing your article. Use terms from the medical subject heading list from the Index Medicus whenever possible. For the level of evidence section, describe the study type and assign a level of evidence rating to the primary research question, according to the criteria in this table. Levels of Evidence for Primary Research Question
A complete assessment of quality of individual studies requires critical appraisal of all aspects of the study design.
A combination of results from two or more prior studies.
Studies provided consistent results.
Study was started before the first patient enrolled.
Patients treated one way (eg, cemented hip arthroplasty) compared with a group of patients treated in another way (eg, uncemented hip arthroplasty) at the same institution.
The study was started after the first patient enrolled.
Patients identified for the study based on their outcome, called "cases"; eg, failed total arthroplasty, are compared with patients who did not have outcome, called "controls"; e.g., successful total hip arthroplasty.
Patients treated one way with no comparison group of patients treated in another way.
