OBESITY SURGERY - INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
1. ABOUT OBSU
Obesity Surgery is published by Springer Nature and is the official journal of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and metabolic disorders (IFSO). Requirements are in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals," www.icmje.org .
All manuscripts submitted to OBSU are blind-reviewed and decisioned through Editorial Manager (EM) http://www.editorialmanager.com/obsu . Letters to the Editor and Invited Replies do not need to be blinded. Articles accepted for publication are done so with the understanding that they or their substantive contents have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication.
Obesity Surgery is a specialty journal, and the readership is well versed in the world statistics about the prevalence of obesity and metabolic/bariatric surgery, as well as other broad interdisciplinary topics. The Editorial Board, therefore, asks that submissions for publication adhere to what is new to be told. Focus the introduction and discussion of an article on the specific knowledge gap. Aim current studies toward sharpening reader attention to any new information provided. Brevity will also favor acceptance of a submission.
2. FILE SUBMISSION CHECKLIST
Before you begin your submission, make sure to have ready for upload all the file items described in the submission checklist below. Please use American English spelling.

3. IMPORTANT SUBMISSION INFORMATION
3a. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Authors will need the following items to use EM:
Internet access
A current Adobe Acrobat browser plug-in
Electronic files of all required documents listed in the File Submission Checklist
3b. YOUR AUTHOR ACCOUNT
If you have previously accessed the system at http://www.edmgr.com/obsu/ always use your existing account for ALL subsequent submissions. If you have forgotten your Username or Password, use the “Send Login Details” link at the Login Page. Authors entering the journal's EM site for the first time can create a new account by clicking “Register Now.”
3c. ONLINE SUBMISSION
After you log into your account and enter your Author Center, EM will lead you through a step-by-step submission process. Note: Always keep original copies of your manuscript files. The system will not allow you to complete your submission if any required submission fields are incomplete. If you cannot finish your submission in one visit, you may save a draft and later re-enter the process at the same step by clicking on the “Incomplete Submissions” link in your Author Main Menu.
We recommend that you have all items listed in the File Submission Checklist complete and ready for upload before starting your online submission. After uploading the files, the system will convert the files to PDF. Thoroughly review the PDF of your submission before confirming your submission. Note: documents that are not viewable to reviewers (cover letter, title page, etc.) may not appear in your PDF proof; simply make sure that they have been successfully uploaded in your list of uploaded files. After confirming that your submission is complete, click “Submit.” All contributing authors will receive an emailed confirmation. If the submission is not complete, inaccurate, or not fully blinded when the editorial office receives it, it will be returned to your Author Center, with an e-mail notifying you of what needs to be corrected.
Once your manuscript is correctly submitted, it will be assigned to an editor, and the review process will begin.
3d. SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE
If you have questions or need assistance at any point during the submission and review process, contact our OBSU Managing Editor:
Attn: Deana Rodriguez, Managing Editor, OBSU Editorial Office Phone: +001 (562) 961-9928 Email: obsu.rodriguez@gmail.com
4. MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Authors must use person-first language: e.g., "patients with obesity" rather than "obese patients.”
Double-space the text and set page borders at one inch.
Number all pages.
Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 12-point Times Roman) for text.
Express all scientific units in SI units.
Abbreviations may be used but must be spelled out the first time the term is mentioned.
4a. MANUSCRIPT TYPES AND FORMAT
The manuscript types that Obesity Surgery accepts include Original Contributions, New Concepts, Review Articles, Brief Communications, Letters to the Editor, and Multimedia Articles. You may submit your manuscript either as Format I, II, or III (detailed in the MANUSCRIPT FORMATS table below). Each manuscript type requires specific submission format and file types. When required by the nature of the report, manuscripts that do not follow these formats may be considered. Please note that the page, word, and figure limits in the table below are a guideline rather than a rule; the editors and reviewers make the final evaluations. Please remain succinct in your wording.
