Guide for Authors
European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Diseases and its French version, Annales Francaises d'Oto-Rhino-Laryngologie et de pathologie cervico-faciale, publish original scientific articles in the field of oto-rhino-laryngology from all domains in English and French. All Authors can submit in English to the European Annals and in French to the Annales Francaises. All French accepted articles are translated to English and published bilingually, in English e-only (European Annals) and in French in paper and electronically (Annales Francaises).Only the English version (European Annals) is indexed in international databases. The Journal follows the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (which can be viewed on the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors site: www.icjme.org). Authors can submit their article using the Journal's online submissions site: https://www.editorialmanager.com/anorl/default.aspx.
Manuscripts are submitted for peer review by the Editorial Board, the only body that can decide on publication. The Board informs the author(s) about its observations, indicating the modifications required for their manuscript to be accepted. The authors must modify their article within 1 month. The Board reserves the right to make minor modifications to the text to standardize the presentation without informing the authors. In no case does the Journal make any commitments regarding the manuscripts submitted before the final decision taken by the editors. The instructions to authors are identical for submissions in either French or English. Having read the criteria for submissions, authors should ensure that their article complies with the Journal's editorial guidelines, outlined below, before uploading their files to the submission site.
Types of article
When authors submit their manuscript, they should specify the section in which they wish to be published.
Editorial
Editorials consist of a title, free text and not more than 5 references, for a maximum 3,000 words. They comprise 5 successive sections:
• Title: As short as possible, with not more than 60 characters.
• Discussion: Free, with as few paragraphs as possible (not more than 5), without titles. There are no subtitles.
• Conflicts of interest
• Acknowledgments.
• References.
Original Article
For an Original Article, the text (excluding title, tables, disclosure of interest and references) is limited to a maximum 3,500 words. There can be a maximum of 6 authors. There can be not more than 3 tables, 2 figures and 30 references. Verbs are in the past tense except for statements of established fact, which are in the simple present tense (e.g., "The patient was operated on; septicemia requires antibiotic therapy"). References are given the text in order of citation, in square brackets, just before the period closing the sentence. Authors are encouraged to follow the EQUATOR guidelines (https://www.equator-network.org/)to build their article and to mention the guideline used in the Material and Method chapter. Statistical rules to apply are described in the chapter "Methods and statistical considerations" of this guide. The body of the article comprises 11 successive sections:
• Title: As short as possible, with not more than 80 characters.
• Abstract: structured as Aims, Material and Methods, Objectives, Results, Conclusion, for a maximum 250 words.
• Key-words: 3 to 5.
• Introduction: The Introduction comprises 3 parts: general presentation of the field, particular aspect dealt with in the study, study objectives and what the study wishes to bring new to the existing literature.
• Material and methods: This section, without subtitles, presents the study population, selection criteria, study objective(s), study variables and statistical methods. Prospective and/or randomized studies should mention their institutional review board approval (CPP, for France). To promote reproducibility and transparency, authors are encouraged to submit by accessory separate file the anonymous database allowing for study completion.
• Results: The results correspond to the study objectives, and are presented clearly and logically, including negative findings, with reference to tables. This section includes no commentaries or references.
• Discussion: Without subtitles, the Discussion analyzes the results, with comparison to the scientific literature (PubMed analysis). It should match the Introduction. Uncertainties and limitations are presented.
• Conclusion: The Conclusion presents the lessons to be drawn, solutions and future research perspectives.
• Disclosure of interest.
• Acknowledgments.
• References: The purpose of the reference list is to provide references to previously published scientific articles (PubMed analysis) for all facts stated and all names mentioned in the article; there should be no references to non-indexed work (books, communications, theses, etc.).
The following list shows the most frequent faults leading to rejection of original articles submitted to the European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Diseases:
□ Purely descriptive study.
□ No additional contribution to existing data and publications.
□ Objectives not defined, varying; and/or important variables absent or not studied.
□ Poorly structured Material and Methods section: not presenting the study population, study objective and/or study variables.
□ Absence of statistical analysis, and/or statistical tests used incorrectly.
□ Introduction vague, too long and/or not reflecting the literature.
□ Study population too heterogeneous and/or poorly defined.
□ Discussion vague, irrelevant, over-rating results, unrelated to study objectives or results and/or introducing further results.
□ Discussion needing to be developed, lacking important references or with incorrect references.
□ Insufficient follow-up.
□ Results missing, false, changed during the Discussion.
□ Article already published elsewhere.
□ Falsely prospective study design.
□ Study re-submitted without taking account of peer review.
□ Article not suited to an Otorhinolaryngology journal.

• Key-words: 3 to 5.
• Introduction: The Introduction includes the objectives of the Review, the data-bases analyzed, search-terms used, and exclusion criteria (case reports, etc.).The introduction must tell the reader what the review wishes to bring new to the yet published literature.
