Surgical Infections 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. The editor and publisher are committed to a rapid review process and timely publication.
Manuscripts must be submitted online using the following url: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/surgicalinfections
Please read all the instructions to authors before submitting.
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 paper 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 paper, please fax the Copyright Agreement form to 914-740-2108.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts should be doubled spaced throughout. Please submit text of manuscripts in Microsoft Word.
Be prepared to submit:
• The manuscript title
• All author(s) names, valid email address and affiliations, source of a work or study (if any)
• a running title.
• Corresponding author information, including name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address
• a structured abstract, which should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The structured abstract should consist of Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.
• At the end of the paper, give the name and address of the individual to whom reprint requests should be directed.
Tables and Illustrations
Prepare each table with its title as a separate file. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. 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 a table, and tables should not contain data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
Color photographs that significantly enhance the presentation will be considered for publication. Please follow these guidelines for submitting all figures:
• 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.
• Do NOT submit PowerPoint or Excel files.
• When naming your files, please label them with your last name and Fig1.(For example, Smith.Fig1). Label figures and tables inside the files in addition to naming the file with the figure or table number.
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.
References
References should be presented in the Vancouver style:
Journal papers: Ko ST, Airan MC. Technique and early experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholangiogram. Surg Endosc 1990;4:58-59.

When a citation has more than four authors, list the first three and use "et al." If it is necessary to cite an abstract, this should be designated. Abbreviations of journal titles should follow MEDLINE. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the reference, and are reminded that inaccurate references are highly frustrating to the reader, the cited author, and indexing services. Within the text, citations should be identified by numbers in brackets, and the list of references at the end of the paper should be numbered by order of citation. Ensure that issue numbers are omitted from the reference citation. Only works referred to in the text and already accepted for publication can be included.
