Instructions to Authors
The aim of the International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds is to promote the science, education and practice of wound management through original papers, review articles, seminars/debates on contentious topics and letters to the Editor. The Journal is a multidisciplinary medium for a similar readership. The vision of the Editorial Board is to offer a constantly updated textbook through the contents of the Journal. Submissions will be subjected to a “blind” peer review process using 2 referees.
Review papers should be paradigm shifting and in excess of 5000 words; these may cover all areas of diagnosis, management, basic wound science, and health economics of wounds. Review papers should be a critical synthesis of the knowledge base, offering an original perspective. Papers should include line diagrams and high quality black & white reproductions. Authors are encouraged to discuss the use of colour reproductions. Also, please be informed that fees for any figures printed in colour will be $800 for the first colour and $200 for each additional colour. It is free of charge for the Online Issue only. Any further queries dealing with the colour figures should be directed to the production editor at SAGE at the following email address: aparna.prusty@sagepub.in
Seminar reviews on contentious themes relevant to wound management are sought. These features will be of the order of 6000 words, well-illustrated and will serve to update experts on changing perspectives. These features will serve as tutorials.
Invited editorial articles are usually 1000 words in length, using the same referencing format as for other papers in the IJLEW.
Letters will not be subject to the referee process and will present authors’ views; not necessarily in concord with those of the Editors/Journal Management.
