Electronic Submissions
We are pleased to announce that we have moved to an online system of manuscript tracking called ManuscriptCentral.
Authors are encouraged to submit their articles to Annals of Vascular Surgery online. This will allow even quicker and more efficient processing of your manuscript.
Please log directly onto the site
http://avs.manuscriptcentral.com
and upload your manuscripts following the instructions given on the screen.
Please note: if you have submitted to Annals of Vascular Surgery before, please hit the "check for existing account" button. You will then receive an automatic e-mail with your user id and password. Otherwise please create a new account and then follow the instructions given on the screen.
System requirements:
Authors will need the following in order to use Manuscript Central:
|
Netscape 4.x or MS Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x
|
|
|
Adobe Acrobat browser plug-in
|
|
|
Electronic files of their article text.
|
|
|
Electronic files of their article graphics (scanned or exported)
|

Author Accounts:
Authors entering the journal's Manuscript Central site can either create a new account or use an existing one. When you have an existing account, use it for all your submissions and you can track their status on the same page.
Getting Started:
Once you have logged into your account, Manuscript Central will lead you through the submission process in a step-by-step orderly process. If you cannot finish your submission in one visit, you can save a draft and re-enter the process at the same point for that manuscript.
While submitting your electronic manuscript, you will be required to enter data about your manuscript in the system. These include title, subtitle, author names and affiliations, and so forth. Support for special characters is available. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email.
Uploading Files:
Electronic files can be uploaded as PDF, PostScript, or RTF. PDF and PostScript files should already contain the graphics within the file. (PostScript files are converted by the system into PDF so that Editors and reviewers may share them.
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a common export property of most popular word processors. Check your word processor to see if it can export or "SaveAs" your file in RTF format. MS Word and WordPerfect both contain this function. After uploading the RTF for text, you will be prompted for uploading graphics. Common graphics files such as GIF, JPEG, EPS, TIFF and many others are supported. After uploading the parts of the article in this manner, the system will convert the files to PDF. You will see the result of the conversion with the Acrobat plug-in in your browser. Keep copies of your word-processing and graphics files. You may want to revise the manuscript during the review process and you will need the original files if your manuscript is accepted. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email.
You will also be notified by email that your submission was successful.
Graphics Quality:
If you are submitting electronic graphics that you have scanned, be prepared to send the hard copy originals upon request. While the electronic files you have created are satisfactory for the review process, they may not be of sufficient quality for printing. This also holds true for files created in low-resolution graphics environments such as MS Powerpoint, etc.
Keeping Track:
After submission, you may return periodically and monitor the progress of your submission through the review process.
Manuscripts submitted must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Announcements of meetings and courses of regional, national, and international significance will be accepted at the discretion of the Editors.

Preparation of Manuscripts
Form of manuscript:
Manuscripts should be succinct. Omit well-known and previously published material. Introductions may contain interesting and relevant historical background, but such material should be inserted judiciously. Discussions should focus on the work at hand, including only those references that directly relate to the subject.
Manuscripts must conform to standard usage and are subject to editorial changes according to the policies of the journal. Generic names of drugs should be used whenever possible. State all measurements in metric units.
For guidance in text preparation, authors may consult the following:
American Medical Association: Manual of Style, 8th ed. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins
Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, 5th ed. Bethesda: Council of Biology Editors
The Chicago Manual of Style, 13th ed. Chicago: University of Chicago Press
Abbreviations:
Abbreviations must be spelled out the first time they are used. Abbreviations in the abstract are discouraged and should be kept to a minimum in the body of the text. Standard international units (SI units) should be used.
Illustrations:
For electronic submission and review, illustrations should be supplied in electronic form with the manuscript file (see the Electronic Submissions instructions). Any illustration that looks acceptable on a computer monitor, will be of acceptable quality for the review.
After acceptance for publication and in order to ensure good print quality, authors should be prepared to submit hard copy versions of their illustrations. Illustrations must be good-quality, unmounted glossy prints suitable for reproduction and reduction as necessary (5" x 7" [11 x 18 cm] size). Four sets of illustrations must accompany the manuscript. If an illustration has several components, submit each separately and indicate arrangement. All lettering or other markings on illustrations must be done by a professional medical illustrator. Typewritten or freehand markings are unacceptable. On a separately typed adhesive label indicate the figure number, the first author's name, and orientation (top). Protect illustrations from damage by placing each set in a separate envelope with a piece of cardboard to keep them flat. Do not paper clip illustrations. Color may be used without charge for the electronic edition of the journal but will appear in the printed version of the journal at the author's expense: $1150.00 for the first page and $575.00 for each additional page within the same article. All figures must be mentioned at some point in the text, and legends should be typed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.
Data Analysis:
Appropriate statistical methodology should be used when applicable. Engage the assistance of a biostatistician in the preparation of your data if necessary.
References:
Cite references in the text sequentially and double-check that the numbered references at the end of the article correspond. Personal communications and unpublished data should be mentioned parenthetically in the body of the text.
Annals of Vascular Surgery follows the Vancouver style of referencing except the first three authors are cited followed by et al. Sample entries follow:
Journal article: La Certe RA, La Rue R, Monet E, et al. Vertebral artery disease. Vasc Surg 1986;14:195-198.
Book: Renoir A. Vascular Surgery. New York: Whitehouse, 1985, pp 44-49.
Chapter in book: La Certe RA. Renovascular hypertension. In Renoir A, ed. Vascular Surgery. New York: Whitehouse, 1985, pp 129-140.
Permissions:
Lengthy direct quotations (100 words or more), illustrations, or tables that have appeared in previously published material must be accompanied by written permission for their use from the copyright holder (normally the publisher).
Reprints:
Complimentary copy of the issue is provided to the corresponding author in lieu of free reprints. Reprints may be ordered with prepayment only by using the Reprint Order Form included with proofs.

Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
General
Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
Vector (line) Graphics
Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
No rules narrower than .25 pt.
No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
Halftone Illustrations
Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
Scans*
Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
Graphics from Videos
Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Video
Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval
