About the journal
The "Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences" is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery and the Asian-Pacific Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association, and the Japan Biliary Association.
The journal succeeds the "Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery" with its well-established reputation and 16-year history. The newly named journal builds upon that tradition with the expanded scope of disseminating knowledge in broader fields not limited to surgery. Also welcomed are articles on radiology (including interventional radiology), pathology, endoscopy, biochemistry, and physiology--in all aspects of the field of hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic diseases. All contributions, which are published as original articles, topics, review articles, technical notes, images of interest, rapid communications, letters to the editors, and other articles, should be aimed at promoting international scientific collaboration.

• A collection of figures may also be combined in a PDF file.
Spreadsheets:
• Spreadsheets should be converted to PDF if no interaction with the data is intended.

Processing of supplementary files:
• Electronic supplementary material will be published as received from the author without any conversion, editing, or reformatting.
Electronic supplementary material
After acceptance
During the production phase the following issues have to be clarified:
Offprints
Offprints of each article are available in lots of 100; to order these, fill out the order form received with the proofs.
Color in print
Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra costs (60,000 yen for each page). Otherwise the figures will be printed in black and white. Please note that, in such cases, it is authors’ responsibility to prepare figures to be illustrative enough to convey the necessary information even after they are converted into black and white.
Online First
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Proof reading
Authors are informed by e-mail that a temporary URL has been created from which they can obtain their proofs.
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor.
Artwork guidelines
Electronic figure submission
Supply all figures electronically. Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork. For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use TIFF format. MS Office files are also acceptable. Use of double-byte characters should be avoided. Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Name your figure files with “Fig” and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.
Line art
Definition: Black and white graphic with no shading. Do not use faint lines and/or lettering, and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size. All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide. Line drawings should have a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi. Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Halftone art
Definition: Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading, etc. If any magnification is used in the photo-graphs, indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves. Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Combination art
Definition: a combination of halftone and line art, e.g., halftones containing line drawing, extensive lettering, color diagrams, etc. Combination artwork should have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.
Color art
Color art is free of charge for online publication.
If black and white will be shown in the print version, make sure that the main information will still be visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white. A simple way to check this is to make a xerographic copy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent.
If the figures will be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the captions.
Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).
Figure lettering
To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (sans-serif fonts). Use lowercase letters to denote figure parts. Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12 pt). Variance of type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label. Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc. Do not include titles or captions in your illustrations.
Figure placement and size
When preparing your figures, size figures to fit in the column width. Figures should be 86 mm, 131 mm, or 176 mm wide and not higher than 234 mm. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge figures.
