WORLD JOURNAL OF SURGERY INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
GENERAL
World Journal of Surgery (WJS) publishes original articles that offer significant contributions to knowledge in the broad fields of clinical surgery, innovative developments in surgery, global surgical practice and economics, surgical education, rural surgery and surgical history. WJS welcomes predominantly human research, including clinical research, outcomes, and health service research. Laboratory research will be published only if it is highly significant and with clear and immediate translational potential to surgical care. WJS has an international circulation and is designed to serve as a medium for rapid dissemination of new and important information about the science and art of surgery throughout the world. In the interests of a wide international readership, use of the English language is required. Articles that are 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.

Original Reports (Including Papers Presented at Surgical Conferences):
Original Scientific Reports are full-length reports of original basic or clinical investigations. All clinical trials must be registered through a public trials registry that is acceptable to the International Committee of Medical Journals Editors (ICMJE). For information on ICMJE’s statement to register clinical trials, please go to http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishingandeditorial-issues/clinical-trial-registration.html . The trial registration number and agency should be listed on the title page and at the end of the abstract.
Randomized clinical trials should be reported following the CONSORT criteria and provide a completed checklist and flow diagram upon manuscript submission. For information on CONSORT and to download the CONSORT checklist and flow diagram, please go to http://www.consortstatement.org/ .
Original Scientific Reports must adhere to a 2,500 word limit (not including the title page, abstract, references, tables, and figures). The final word count should be included in the title page of the manuscript.
Original Scientific Reports with Video:
WJS also seeks original basic or clinical investigation manuscripts that contain brief video clips of surgical techniques or operative findings. Please see the “MULTIMEDIA MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION” below for submitting video augmented manuscripts. For manuscript formatting, please follow the requirements listed above “Original Scientific Reports.”
Scientific Reviews (Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses):
Systematic reviews and meta-analysis of the literature are of interest to the journal, and will be handled with the standard peer review process.
Guidelines and a checklist for composing systematic reviews and meta-analysis can be found at: http://www.prismastatement.org/. Please do not submit such reviews without consulting these guidelines and completing the PRISMA checklist.
Reviews should not exceed 3,000 words, should have less than 75 references, and should contain no more than 5 figures or tables. Additional tables and figures can be submitted as supplementary information.
Innovative Techniques in Surgery Around the World:
The WJS in interested in publishing high quality descriptions of innovative surgical techniques that have the potential to improve the quality or efficiency of care. While techniques with universal appeal are most sought after, novel techniques that allow broader access to care in resource challenged environments are also desirable.
The successful manuscript will contain a detailed description of the technique and be richly illustrated with figures, and/or video.
Line drawings are much superior to intraoperative photos, generally. A brief description of the authors experience with the technique should also be included, if possible.
Qualifying manuscripts should be less than 1,000 words, have no more than 3 authors, have no more than 5 references, and no more than 8 figures/video segments. A brief unstructured abstract is also required. Please see our instructions for submitting streaming video, below.
Surgery in Low and Middle Income Countries
WJS seeks high quality manuscripts describing the unique problems and unique solutions facing surgeons in rural and impoverished settings, globally. WJS requires that manuscripts that use primary data from a low- or middle-income country should include one or more local co-authors. A local co-author is defined as a national of that country who is living and working in their home country. All other author requirements need to be met for the author(s) from the low and middle income country. The editors understand that there may be extenuating circumstances in which this requirement cannot be met. In such cases, a cover letter should explain why a local co-author is not included. Further details on this editorial policy can be found at: Editorial Policy on Co-authorship of Articles from Low- and Middle-Income Countries; DOI: 10.1007/s00268-011-1255-8
