JOURNAL OF TISSUE VIABILITY
Your Paper Your Way
We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article.
To find out more, please visit the Preparation section below.
The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management.
The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.
Editorial policy
The originality of content of papers submitted and the quality of the work on which they are based is the prime consideration of the Editor. The paper should deal with original material, neither previously published nor being considered for publication elsewhere, except in special circumstances agreed with the Editor. All papers are sent for peer review by at least two independent reviewers and are judged on their accuracy, content, organisation, style, contribution to tissue viability and appearance, The final decision regarding publication is made by the Editor and will be communicated to authors usually within 8-10 weeks after submission.
The Journal of Tissue Viability welcomes the following articles and operates a word limit as follows:
Clinical studies (1500-3000 words)
Basic research studies (1500-3000 words)
Case reports (500-1500 words)
Reports of either an individual or a series of case histories are acceptable if they are used to raise awareness of a particular aspect of tissue viability rather than to simply describe what happened to a patient(s) over a period of time. Authors should carefully consider what general points they would wish readers to take from their case report before starting to write.
Reviews of clinical or scientific aspects of tissue viability (1500-4000 words)
Structured or systematic reviews of any topic related to tissue viability are welcomed. Please contact the Editor to discuss your proposed topic before starting to prepare the manuscript to establish whether the topic is likely to be relevant to the Journal. Clear evidence is required within the manuscript that a systematic approach to gathering the literature cited in the review was followed.
Guest editorials
The editorial in each issue of the Journal is typically written by a guest editor rather than the Editor of the Journal. Typically guest editors will be invited to submit by the Editor and will be asked to provide 800-1000 words upon a topic of debate or controversy. Each editorial reflects the views of its author and may be supported by no more than five references. While the majority of editorials are commissioned, please do not hesitate to submit an outline idea or contact the Editor to discuss your proposal.
Letters to the Editor (200-400 words)
Letters related to any topic covered in the previous issue of the Journal of Tissue Viability are welcomed, as are all letters relevant to any issue in tissue viability. We encourage the submission of letters as a strong vehicle for provoking discussion and debate within the Journal. Letters will not be subject to peer review but are published at the discretion of the Editor.
