· Guidelines for Articles / Research Papers 1. Author Guidelines • Typescript preparation
1. The original typescript should be submitted electronically in A4 size format, with a word count of 4000-6000 (excluding figures), following the other submission. 2. Typescript should have double line spacing at the time of submission. 3. A final paper which would exceed 6000 words or occupy more than 15 pages of the Journal may be returned for abridgement. 4. The text of the paper should include title, abstract, text, references and notes, tables, figure captions, figures, but not the names of authors, their biographical notes nor any acknowledgements. Please make sure that author’s names are not included in the document/file properties. 5. For email submissions, you will need a separate file containing the title of the paper, plus the names, affiliation and complete addresses, e-mail and fax number of authors, and an abstract, keywords, brief biographical notes about authors and any acknowledgements; and Resume of the contributor. 6. All papers must be written in English. If English is not your first language, please ask an English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper. • International context
1. It should not be assumed that the reader is familiar with specific national institutions or corporations. Authors are encouraged to approach their chosen topic with an international perspective. 2. Countries and groupings of countries should be referred to by their full title (for example, 'Asia’, 'Europe' and 'America' are all ambiguous). 3. Special attention should be paid to identifying units of currency by nationality. 4. Acronyms should be translated in full into English. • Title, abstract, keywords, addresses, biographical notes Please assist us by following these guidelines:
1. Title : as short as possible 2. Authors Details and Address : Author Name and Position, department, name of institution, full postal address and email address for each author 3. Abstract: approximately 100 words, maximum 150 4. Keywords: approximately 10-15 words or phrases. Keywords are important for online searching. 5. Biographical notes : approximately 100 words per author, maximum 150. 6. Affiliation : If any.
• References and notes
1. IJSSS journal uses the Harvard (name and date) short reference system for citations in the text with a detailed alphabetical list at the end of the paper. For example 'Large (2010) suggests ...' or 'Liang and Zeger (1986) found that ...' or 'Both Kremen et al. (2008) and Weickert et al. (2000) extracted...' 2. Footnotes should be avoided, but any short, succinct notes making a specific point, may be placed in number order following the alphabetical list of references. 3. References should be made only to works that are published, accepted for publication (not merely 'submitted'), or available through libraries or institutions. Any other source should be qualified by a note regarding availability. 4. Full reference should include all author’s names and initials, date of publication, title of paper, title of publication (italics), volume and issue number (of a journal), publisher and form (books, conference proceedings), page numbers. • Figures All illustrations, whether diagrams or photographs, are referred to as Figures. Figures may be black and white or colour, and numbered sequentially. Please prepare all figures, especially line diagrams, to the highest possible standards. Digital art may be created/scanned and submitted as either TIFF, JPG or PPT files. • Translated works
1. Difficulty often arises in translating acronyms, so it is best to spell out an acronym in English (for example, AU – Both ears). 2. Similarly, labels and suffixes need careful attention where the letters refer to words which have been translated. ___________________________________________________________________________ 2. Copyright and Author Rights and Responsibilities IJSSS is wholly committed to the highest standards of surgery and surgical sciences. In all that we do, we work to ensure the widest possible access to the articles that we publish, to enhance the reputation of the author, the journal, its editor and editorial board, and the value that we add altogether. In order that we can do this properly and professionally, we ask authors to sign our Author Agreement assigning (or transferring) copyright to Editor and IJSSS. The transfer of copyright is standard practice in journal publishing. This enables us, to negotiate subsidiary licenses to database aggregators and document supply companies, and allows permissions to reproduce articles in books, course packs, electronic reserve or for library loan to be handled efficiently and with sensitivity to changing library and reader needs. This relieves authors of a time-consuming and costly administrative burden. It also enable us to defend and enforce author’s rights against plagiarism, copyright infringement, unauthorized use and, most important for author’s professional reputation, breach of author’s moral rights. ___________________________________________________________________________ 3.
