About the journal
The Journal of Surgical Research: Clinical and Laboratory Investigation publishes original articles concerned with clinical and laboratory investigations relevant to surgical practice and teaching. The journal emphasizes reports of clinical investigations or fundamental research bearing directly on surgical management that will be of general interest to a broad range of surgeons and surgical researchers. The articles presented need not have been the products of surgeons or of surgical laboratories.

Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that no substantial portion of the study has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. Manuscripts that do not meet the general criteria or standards for publication in Journal of Surgical Research will be immediately returned to the authors, without detailed review.
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if the manuscript is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. The Copyright Transfer Agreement, which may be copied from the journal home page listed here, should be signed by the appropriate person and should accompany the original submission of a manuscript to this journal. The transfer of copyright does not take place until the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material. Letters of permission should accompany the final submission.
Digital Object Identifier. Academic Press assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Because of its persistence, it can be used to query Academic Press for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various Web sites, including IDEAL, and to cite the article in academic references. When a reference to an online version of an article is being cited and that reference has yet to appear in print, authors may want to include the DOI, as volume and page information is not always available. See References below for samples of DOIs included in references. Further information may be found at http://www.academicpress.com/doi .
Preparation of Manuscript. Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch or A4 white paper.
When reporting experiments on human subjects indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the committee on human experimentation of the institution in which the experiments were done or in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975. When reporting experiments on animal subjects indicate whether the institution's or the National Research Council's guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dosage(s), and route(s) of administration. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers.
Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain an article title of less than 70 characters; authors' names, highest degree, and complete affiliations; footnotes to the title; a running title of less than 50 characters; the appropriate subject category for listing the article in the Table of Contents; and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The Abstract (p. 2) must emphasize the new and impor- tant aspects of the work in no more than 250 words structured into the following sections: background, materials and methods, results, and conclusions. After the abstract a list of up to 10 key words that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be as concise as possible, without subheadings.
Materials and Methods should be sufficiently detailed to enable the experiments to be reproduced.
Results and Discussion may be combined and may be organized into subheadings.
Acknowledgments should be brief and should precede the references.
References. Type double-spaced on pages separate from the text. Abbreviate journal titles in conformity with Index Medicus, 1981. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. When citing an Academic Press journal, authors may choose to include the DOI, if available, from the article?s title page. Please note the following examples, the second of which shows an article available on IDEAL but not yet assigned to a printed issue.

This PDF has been produced automatically from an electronic database format; the original file is maintained by Elsevier Science. Please note that certain details of page layout may still need to be amended before printing. However, the final printed product will conform to our usual high standards for page layout and image resolution.
The only proofreading your article will receive is yours. Therefore it is essential that you read the accompanying PDF proofs carefully. Please use this proof for checking the typesetting and editing, as well as the completeness and correctness of the text, tables, and figures. However, corrections should be kept to a minimum. Excessive alterations and revisions may result in costs that will be charged to you and may delay publication of the article to a later issue. Also, make sure that you answer any questions that have arisen during the preparation of your proof.
If your file contains color illustrations, you will find PDF copies of your color figures included in the attached article file. Please note that the PDF is a low-resolution file. The final product will include a high-resolution file.

Notes:
PDFs (portable document files) are self-contained documents for viewing on screen and for printing. They contain all appropriate formatting and all fonts, so that the correct result will be shown on screen and on the printout from your local printer.
To view and print your article you will need Acrobat Reader from Adobe. This program is freely available and can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html .
Please note that this reader is available for a whole series of platforms, including PC, Mac, and Unix.
There are a number of points to take into account.
- Any (gray) halftones (photographs, micrographs, etc.) are best viewed on screen, for which they are optimized, and your local printer may not be able to output the grays correctly.
- If you have instructed us to reproduce your artwork in color, it should be displayed as such in this PDF proof. If you are unable to see any color artwork, please check that the Display large images tickbox under File Preferences General... is ticked. If you are still unable to view your artwork correctly, please contact us immediately.
- If the PDF contains color images and if you do have a local color printer available, you may not be able to correctly reproduce the colors on it, as local variations can occur.
- If you print the attached PDF and notice some nonstandard output, please check whether the problem is also present on screen. If the correct printer driver for your printer is not installed on your PC, the printed output will be distorted.
