About the journal
This leading, monthly journal contains original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is essential reading for ENT specialists and students. Contributions from around the world ensure that this journal is international in outlook and relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practice.
The JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, an annual CME insert, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is very well illustrated and has become the definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published twelve times a year a subscription represents excellent value for money and includes free access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database and current issue.
Instructions to Authors
All manuscripts are considered for publication on the understanding that they have been submitted solely to this Journal and that they have not previously been published elsewhere.
Original Articles should not normally exceed 7,500 words. Audit articles must demonstrate that the 'audit cycle' has been completed. Articles concerning medico-legal matters are also welcome. Longer articles or theses will be considered for publication as Supplements but, in such instances, the costs of publication must be met by the authors or their employing authorities.
Review Articles, preferably not exceeding 3,000 words, will be considered but the authors are expected to be recognized authorities on the subject.
Historical Articles of well known characters or events should provide some new information or interpretation; those from within a hospital's own department highlighting a hitherto less well known contribution are also welcome.
Short Reports where radiology, pathology or medical oncology have been critical in diagnosis or management will be published on a monthly or bimonthly basis under the headings Radiology, Pathology or Oncology in Focus. Such articles should not normally be longer than four pages of A4 text(excluding title page and references) and must emphasise a problem of particular clinical interest. The pathologist, radiologist or oncologist who has been involved will normally be expected to be a co-author and will be expected to have signed the covering letter submitted with the paper.
Clinical Records (Case Reports) should be brief (as with short reports, no more than four pages of A4 text) and should be confined to single cases without precedent in the world literature or to cases which illustrate some entirely new facet in management or investigation. Reports of relative rarities are only welcome when they add to our understanding of a clinical issue.
Submission
Two copies of the manuscript should be sent to the Editors, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2 West Road, Guildford, Surrey GU1 2AU, UK (Fax: +44(0)1483 451874). Authors should supply a facsimile number and/or e-mail address where possible to speed communication. Please do not submit material on floppy disk or by e-mail.
Manuscripts must be accompanied by a covering letter containing a declaration, signed by all authors, confirming that they have read and approved the contribution bearing their name. Authors should also individually indicate the part they have played in data collection, analysis or authorship. The principal investigator (who should normally be the first author) should also indicate that he or she is prepared to take total responsibility for the integrity of the content of the manuscript.
In the same letter the authors must list any potential or actual conflicts of interest; where none have occurred this should be clearly stated. Competing interests include affiliations with, or financial involvement in, organizations or entities described in the manuscript and include grant monies, honoraria, fees or gifts related to the work as well as indirect financial support where equipment or drugs have been supplied.
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be typewritten on one side of the paper only (A4 297 3 210 mm). Double spacing with wide margins (5 cm for the header and 2.5 cm for the remainder) should be used throughout. The pages should be sequentially numbered.
Begin each section on a new page in the following sequence: title page, abstract and key words, text, acknowledgements, references, tables and legends. The following details should apply to each of these sections:
Title Page: This should contain (a) a succinct title for the paper; (b) the names of all authors together with their principal higher qualification(s); (c) details of the departments in which the authors work and the name of their affiliated institution(s); (d) the name and address of the author responsible for correspondence about the manuscript and proofs. If the paper was presented at a meeting, the details must be given and will be included as a footnote on the first printed page of the article.
Abstract and Key Words: The abstract should be no longer than 150 words and should include a statement of the problem, the method of study, the results obtained and the conclusions drawn. A separate 'summary' section in the main manuscript is not permitted.
Following the abstract should be those key words which can be used to index the article. Only the words appearing as Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in the supplement to Index Medicus may ordinarily be used; in exceptional circumstances, and where no appropriate word(s) are listed, those dictated by common usage should be supplied.
No paper will be accepted without an abstract and appropriate key words.
Text: The text should normally follow the common outlines, i.e.,introduction, materials and methods, results and analysis, discussion, conclusion(s). The latter sections should clearly indicate how this work fits with the current body of world literature.
Illustrations: Tables and charts should be adjuncts to the text and must not repeat material already presented. They should be numbered consecutively, with Roman numerals, and must be marked with a clear legend.
Photographic illustrations should be unmounted, should not exceed 80 mm in width and should be high quality black and white prints; reproduction of coloured prints will normally be charged to the authors. Two sets of photographic illustrations, one with each copy of the manuscript, should be supplied and each should be clearly identified on the back with the figure number and the first author's name. Where any ambiguity might result the top edge should be identified with an arrow to aid orientation. Colour illustrations from papers are occasionally selected by the editor for use on the front cover of the journal at no cost to the authors. If appropriate a colour version of one of the black and white photographs submitted can be included for this purpose. Photomicrographs of histopathological specimens must be accompanied by details of the staining method and the magnification used.
Photographs which could result in the person illustrated being identified must be accompanied by a signed release giving specific consent to publication. For minors, signed parental permission is required. Written permission from the publisher to reproduce any illustration (or table) with copyright elsewhere must be obtained and, where necessary, the consent of the senior author must also be acquired.
Measurements: These must be in metric units with Systeme Internationale(SI) equivalents given in parentheses.
Drugs: The approved names of drugs should be used. One reference to a proprietary name may be given if this is felt to be important to the study.
References: Authors should personally verify the accuracy of references before submitting a paper for publication. The Vancouver system should be used. References should be identified in the text by superscript arabic numerals, and be numbered and listed consecutively at the end of the manuscript in the order in which they are first cited in the text.
References must include: names and initials of all authors (unless more than 6, when only the first 6 are given followed by et al.); the title of the paper; the journal title abbreviated as in Index Medicus; year of publication; volume number; first and last page numbers. References to books should give the author(s) or editor(s), book title, place of publication, publisher and year; those to chapters in books should also include the chapter title, first and last page numbers, and the names and initials of chapter authors. For example:
1. Kalan A, Kenyon GS, Seemungal TAR, Wedzicha JA. Adverse effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy in sleep apnoea syndrome. J Laryngol Otol 1999;113:888--92
2. Pryse-Phillips W. Companion to Clinical Neurology. Boston: Little Brown, 1995
3. Sullivan CE, Grunstein RR. Continuous positive airway pressure in sleep-disordered breathing. In: Kryger MH, Roth T, Dement WC, eds. Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, 2nd edn. Philadelphia: WB Saunders, 1994: 694--705
Proofs and Offprints sent to authors should be corrected and returned within 5 working days. No extra material should be added to the manuscript at this stage. Offprints may be ordered using the form that will accompany the proofs.
Rejection of manuscripts: Rejected manuscripts will not be returned to authors and those submitting papers should, therefore, ensure that they retain at least one copy. The exception will be manuscripts containing coloured illustrations where the illustrations only will normally be returned automatically by Surface Mail.
