INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS THE JOURNAL OF BONE & JOINT SURGERY · JBJS.ORG VOLUME 89-A · NUMBER 9 · SEPTEMBER 2007 Instructions to Authors The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery welcomes articles that contribute to orthopaedic knowledge from all sources in all countries. • Articles are accepted only for exclusive publication in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. Previously published articles, even those in peer-reviewed electronic publications, are not accepted by The Journal. • Publication does not constitute official endorsement of opinions presented in articles. • Published articles and illustrations become the property of The Journal. • If the Editor-in- Chief of The Journal 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 Case Reports must include a statement that each subject was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication. All studies should be carried out in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki, as presented in The Journal (1997;79-A: 1089-98). Patient confidentiality must be protected according to the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). • All clinical trials submitted for consideration should have been registered in a public trials registry. • All manuscripts dealing with experimental results in animals must include a statement that the study has been approved by an animal utilization study committee. The authors should also include information about the management of postoperative pain for both animal and human subjects. • Reports of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) should follow the checklist developed by the CONSORT Group (www.consort-statement.org), published in JAMA 2001;285:1987-91. In the preparation of a manuscript, authors should, in general, follow the recommendations in “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication” by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, October 2004 (www.icmje.org). • On occasion, reviewers, associate editors, and/or deputy editors may have a conflict of interest or a competing interest with regard to the subject matter of a manuscript. Such conflicts are disclosed to the Editor-in-Chief, who has no known conflicts of interest or competing interests and who makes the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of all manuscripts submitted to The Journal. Submission of Manuscript The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery uses a web-based service, provided by Editorial Manager, requiring authors to submit and track manuscripts electronically. Authors must register via the Internet address jbjs.edmgr.com. You will be e-mailed a confidential username and password that will enable you to access the system and submit your manuscript. When you submit an article, the following items must be included: 1. Title Page: List the title of the manuscript and the authors’ names in the order in which they should appear. Provide a complete mailing address for each author. Clearly designate the corresponding author and his/her mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address. 2. Blinded Manuscript: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery has a policy of blinded peer review. The manuscript must not contain any mention of the authors’ names or initials or the institution at which the study was done. Page headers can include the title but not the authors’ names. Manuscripts not in compliance with The Journal’s blinding policy will be returned to the corresponding author. 3. IRB Approval: A copy of the letter granting approval from the institutional review board or the animal utilization study committee is required. You must reference the manuscript title and corresponding author on the fax cover sheet or in an accompanying letter. 4. Copyright Transfer and Author Agreement: Material appearing in The Journal is covered by copyright. All authors must sign a Copyright Transfer and Author Agreement form upon submission of the manuscript to The Journal. The form must reference the manuscript title, assigned JBJS manuscript number, and corresponding author. This form must be submitted by post mail, by fax, or in PDF format online. 5. Potential Conflict of Interest Statement: Authors of manuscripts must sign a Conflict of Interest Statement at the time of submission of each manuscript. The form must reference the manuscript title and assigned JBJS manuscript number. This statement has no bearing on the editorial decision to publish a manuscript. That decision will continue to be based solely on the value of the article to the readers of The Journal. The signature of each author is required. No article will be published until the completed conflict of interest form has been incorporated into the record kept on that manuscript in The Journal office. The statements selected by the author or authors will be printed at the end of the published article. Forms required for manuscript submission can be found at jbjs.org. When you submit an article, the following items are optional: 1. Cover Letter 2. Acknowledgment: If included, it must be attached as a separate file, not included in the text of the manuscript. 3. Figures and/or Tables: Figures must be submitted electronically. Each figure and/or table must be labeled separately and submitted as a separate electronic file. No more than 30 figures may be submitted. Tables should be submitted in their original file format. Refer to the section entitled Illustrations for figure format requirements. The Journal discourages submission of illustrations that have been published elsewhere. When such illustrations are deemed essential, the author must include a letter, from the original holder of the copyright, granting permission to reprint the illustration. Give full information about the previous publication, including the page on which the illustration appeared. Downloaded From: http://jbjs.org/ on 01/27/2014
