Article formats (See expanded descriptions following table.)

Any article longer than these limits should be discussed with the editor.

aMaximum number of words is exclusive of the abstract, references, and figure legends.

1. Original Articles

Original articles should contain the results of clinical or basic research and should be sufficiently well documented to be acceptable to critical readers. The length of the manuscript should not exceed 3,000 words, not counting the abstract, references, tables, and legends to figures and illustrations, if possible, and references should not exceed 30. Original articles should be arranged in the following order: (1) title page; (2) abstract and keywords; (3) introduction; (4) materials and methods; (5) results; (6) discussion; (7) conclusions; (8) acknowledgments (if necessary); (9) references; (10) figure legends; (11) figures; and (12) tables.

2. Review Articles

Reviews are comprehensive analyses of specific topics. They are submitted upon invitation by the Editor. Unsolicited proposals for reviews may be submitted; however, in this case, authors should only send an outline of the proposed paper for initial consideration. Both solicited and unsolicited review articles will undergo peer review prior to acceptance. The length of the manuscript should not exceed 5,000 words.

3. Case Reports

Case reports shall cover states of diseases that have not been previously reported or have been rarely seen; those that have been already reported but are distinctively different from the previous reports can also be published in this journal. The manuscript should not exceed 1,500 words, not counting the cover, tables, figures, and references, with 10 or fewer reference works.

2.Abstract and Keywords

An abstract should be concise and should not exceed 250 words for original and review articles or 150 words for case reports. A structured abstract should consist of Purpose, Materials and Methods, Results, and Conclusions (not structured for review articles). List 4 to 6 keywords below the abstract (in alphabetical order, separated by semicolons) as follows: Benign prostatic hyperplasia; Doxazosin; Lower urinary tract symptoms. For the selection of keywords, refer to the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in PubMed (https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/search).

3.Introduction

A brief background, references to the most pertinent papers general enough to inform readers, and the relevant findings of others should be included. The specific question that the authors’ particular investigation studied should also be stated.

4.Materials and Methods

The explanation of the experimental methods should be concise and sufficient to allow repetition by other qualified investigators. Procedures that have been published previously should not be described in detail. However, new or significant modifications of previously published procedures need full descriptions. In cases of clinical studies or experiments using laboratory animals or pathogens, this section should contain approval of the studies by relevant committees. The sources of special chemicals or preparations should be given, along with their location (name of company, city, state, and country). Methods of statistical analyses used and the criteria for determining significance levels should be described. An ethics statement should be included here when the studies are performed using clinical samples or data, or animals. An example is shown below:

•Ethics Statement:

- Example for clinical study

- The present study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of ### National University College of Medicine (approval No. 2021001). Informed consent was obtained by all subjects when they were enrolled.

- Example for animal study

- The procedures used and the care of animals were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) in xxx University (approval No. 2021002).

- Example for clinical trials

- This is a randomized clinical trial on the second phase, registered at NIH ClinicalTrials.gov (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/), number NCT 2019003. Manuscripts reporting interventional clinical trial should include data sharing plan following the ICMJE statement by referring to the ICMJE Statement on Data Sharing (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-and-editorial-issues/clinical-trial-registration.html).

•Description of participants:

- Ensure correct use of the terms sex (when reporting biological factors) and gender (identity, psychosocial or cultural factors), and, unless inappropriate, report the sex and/or gender of study participants, the sex of animals or cells, and describe the methods used to determine sex and gender. If the study was done involving an exclusive population, for example in only one sex, authors should justify why, except in obvious cases (e.g., prostate cancer). Authors should define how they determined race or ethnicity and justify their relevance.

5.Results

This section should include a concise textual description of the data presented in any tables and figures, in the same order as they appear in the Materials and Methods section. Excessive elaboration or rote repetition of data already given in tables and figures should be avoided. The results obtained from subject analysis such as age and gender distribution are not mentioned in this section. The tense should be in the past form.

6.Discussion

In this section, the data should be interpreted concisely without repeating material already presented in the Results section. The logical answers to the questions stated in the Introduction section should be proposed. The content should be limited to new and important information related to the study results.

7.Conclusions

The conclusions or opinions by the author(s) drawn from the Results and Discussion sections and befitting the purpose(s) of the study should be described comprehensively, while avoiding a simple summary or redundant information. Future study direction or expected effects are also best avoided.

8.Acknowledgments

The persons or institutes that contributed to the work but were not included as co-authors may be acknowledged. Any financial or technical support should also be stated.

9.Author Contribution

Enter all author contributions in the submission system during submission. The contributions of all authors must be described using the CRediT Taxonomy of author roles. Read the policy.

To qualify for authorship, all contributors must meet at least one of the seven core contributions (conceptualization, methodology, software, validation, formal analysis, investigation, and data curation), as well as at least one of the writing contributions (original draft preparation, review, and editing). Authors may also satisfy the other remaining contributions; however, these alone will not qualify them for authorship.

Contributions will be published with the final article, and they should accurately reflect contributions to the work. The submitting author is responsible for completing this information at submission, and it is expected that all authors will have reviewed, discussed, and agreed to their individual contributions prior to manuscript submission.

Example of author contributions:

- Conceptualization: ***, ***. Data curation: ***, ***. Formal analysis: ***, ***. Funding acquisition: ***, ***. Investigation: ***, ***. Methodology: ***, ***. Project administration: ***, ***. Resources: ***, ***. Software: ***, ***. Supervision: ***, ***. Validation: ***, ***. Visualization: ***, ***. Writing – original draft: ***, ***. Writing – review & editing: ***, ***.

10.References

References should be numbered serially in the order of appearance in the text, with reference numbers in brackets ([xx]). If referring to more than two sequential references, list all numbers ([1,2], [1-3], or [1,3-5]).

References should be listed on a separate sheet at the end of the article in the order of citation. Reference format should conform to the NLM style (The NLM Style Guide for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, 2nd edition, 2007. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/). Journal abbreviations should also conform to the NLM style (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/). List all authors when there are six or fewer; when there are seven or more, list six and add “et al”.

SIMILARITY CHECK

Similarity Check is a multipublisher initiative to screen published and submitted content for originality. To find out more about Similarity Check, visit https://www.crossref.org/services/similarity-check/. All manuscripts submitted to WJMH are subject to screening using the iThenticate tool for textual similarity to other previously published works.

PEER REVIEW AND PUBLICATION PROCESS

All manuscripts are subject to peer review, and accepted articles will be published in WJMH.

1.Registration for submission

Manuscripts should conform strictly to WJMH style. Manuscripts with numerous errors will be returned to the author without review. Any manuscript registered is given a registration number; this will be e-mailed to the corresponding author.

2.Review

Manuscripts will be reviewed by 3 (or more) peer reviewers. The reviews will be blinded to the names of the authors and the institutions from which the manuscripts have been sent. The editors reserve the right to improve the style and, if necessary, return the manuscript for rewriting to the author. All authors who have been requested to revise their work should resubmit revised manuscripts using our online submission system. A covering letter must accompany all revised manuscripts and indicate clearly what alterations have been made in response to the reviewers’ comments. Satisfactory reasons should be given for noncompliance with any of the recommendations of the editors. Accepted manuscripts will be copyedited to make sure they conform to the journal’s style. The final version of the manuscript after copyediting will be sent back to the author only if specific queries need clarification.

3.Conclusion of review

Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication in WJMH, a certificate of publication stating that the manuscript will be published can be issued on demand by the author(s).

4.Editorial comment and reply by authors

With the decision of the editors, editorial comment can be attached to the manuscript. If the author(s) reply, the reply can also be published.

5.Erratum

If there is an error, a correction from the author(s) can be published.

6.Printing

The authors should proofread and edit their accepted manuscript carefully before printing, as they can still request additional corrections at this stage. The editorial board decides whether to publish the manuscript and the order in which the manuscript is published.

7.Feedback after Publication

If the authors or readers find any errors, or contents that should be revised, it can be requested from the Editorial Board. The Editorial Board may consider erratum, corrigendum, or a retraction. If there are any revisions to the article, there will be a CrossMark description to announce the final draft. If there is a reader’s opinion on the published article with the form of Letter to the editor, it will be forwarded to the authors. The authors can reply to the reader’s letter. Letter to the editor and the author’s reply may be also published.

8.How the Journal Handle Complaints and Appeals

The policy of WJMH is primarily aimed at protecting the authors, reviewers, editors, and the publisher of the journal. If not described below, the process of handling complaints and appeals follows the guidelines of the Committee of Publication Ethics available from: https://publicationethics.org/appeals.

•Who complains or makes an appeal?

Submitters, authors, reviewers, and readers may register complaints and appeals in a variety of cases as follows: falsification, fabrication, plagiarism, duplicate publication, authorship dispute, conflict of interest, ethical treatment of animals, informed consent, bias or unfair/inappropriate competitive acts, copyright, stolen data, defamation, and legal problem. If any individuals or institutions want to inform the cases, they can send a letter via E-mail: edit@andrology.or.kr. For the complaints or appeals, concrete data with answers to all factual questions (who, when, where, what, how, why) should be provided.

•Who is responsible to resolve and handle complaints and appeals?

The Editor, Editorial Board, or Editorial Office is responsible for them. A legal consultant or ethics editor may be able to help with the decision making.

•What may be the consequence of remedy?

It depends on the type or degree of misconduct. The consequence of resolution will follow the guidelines of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE).

CLINICAL DATA SHARING POLICY

This journal follows the data sharing policy described in “Data Sharing Statements for Clinical Trials: A Requirement of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)” (https://doi.org/10.3346/jkms.2017.32.7.1051). As of July 1, 2018 manuscripts submitted to ICMJE journals that report the results of interventional clinical trials must contain a data sharing statement as described below. Clinical trials that begin enrolling participants on or after January 1, 2019 must include a data sharing plan in the trial's registration. The ICMJE’s policy regarding trial registration is explained athttps://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-and-editorial-issues/clinical-trial-registration.html. If the data sharing plan changes after registration this should be reflected in the statement submitted and published with the manuscript, and updated in the registry record. More detailed information can be found at the journal’s homepage (https://wjmh.org).

PREPRINT POLICY

A preprint can be defined as a version of a scholarly paper that precedes formal peer review and publication in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal.

WJMH allows authors to submit the preprint to the journal. It is not treated as duplicate submission or duplicate publication. WJMH recommend authors to disclose it with DOI in the letter to the editor during the submission process. Otherwise, it may be screened from the plagiarism check program — Similarity Check. Preprint submission will be processed through the same peer-review process with a usual submission. If the preprint is accepted for publication, authors are recommended to update the info at the preprint with a link to the published article in WJMH, including DOI at WJMH. It is strongly recommended that authors cite the article in WJMH instead of the preprint at their next submission to journals.

ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGE

Authors whose manuscripts are finally accepted for publication in WJMH will be charged an article processing charge: 900,000 KRW for Korean authors and 700 USD for non-Korean authors, which only apply to Original Article, Review Article, and Case Report. No publication fees for Letter to the Editor or Editorial. Publication fee is waived for invited articles regardless of article types.
