About the journal
PHLEBOLOGY
The aim of this journal is to further the scientific investigation of venous disease by publishing the results of research and experience of those with a particular interest in the subject. Its aim is to promote research into the problems of management that patients with venous diseases present to physicians and surgeons.
Phlebology is the only English language journal devoted entirely to venous disease. It provides a means by which investigators from many disciplines may present their research in a field that has remained poorly understood for hundreds of years. Papers will be published after peer review and will be read by an international audience of physicians and scientists as well as those with a commercial stake in phlebology. Authors will expose their work to experts in the field in a readership drawn from many countries. Readers will gain from the knowledge and expertise of those who feel that venous diseases deserve to be more completely elucidated. The publishers aim to promote scientific excellence in a field where, in the past, much has been obscured by dogma and prejudice. The widest dissemination of knowledge will be ensured by the incorporation of papers in international referencing systems.
|
Phlebology includes contributions on all aspects of venous disease. The articles published in this journal include not only clinical studies, but those from basic scientists, technologists and pathologists. It aims to provide a platform for the collected knowledge, experience and research of those who feel that they have a scientifically sound addition to be made to the knowledge in this field. The scope of this journal allows a detailed consideration of current issues in phlebology. |

All haematological and clinical chemistry measurements should be in SI units followed, where appropriate, by traditional units in parentheses. Quotients of two units should be represented with a solidus (I), but more than one solidus should not be used in the same expression. Abbreviations should be used sparingly and given in full at first mention (e.g. ‘ambulatory venous pressure (AVP). |

Terms of submission |

References |
|
Papers must be submitted exclusively to the journal on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere.
The main author is responsible for ensuring that the article has been seen and approved by all the other authors. The covering letter accompanying the manuscript should be signed by all the authors to this effect. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that articles emanating from a particular institution are submitted with the approval of the necessary authority.
Papers accepted for publication become the copyright of the Journal. The Editor retains the right to modify the style and length of a contribution (major changes being agreed with the main author) and to decide the time of publication.
The original and two copies of the manuscript should be submitted, accompanied by three sets of illustrations, to aid refereeing.
Once accepted, the author will be required to send manuscript on disk or Microsoft Word 6 (PC or Mac). Authors should retain a copy of the paper as the Editor cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage. |

The accuracy of the references is the author’s responsibility. Inconsistencies between the reference list and text citations may lead to a delay in publication. Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify citations of references in text, tables and legends using numbers in square brackets (e.g. ‘as discussed by Smith [9]? ‘as discussed elsewhere [13, 14]?. In the reference list use the style of the examples below. Journal titles are abbreviated according to Index Medicus. When there are seven or more authors list only the first six and ‘et al.

Copyright permissions |
|
Tables |
|
|
Written permission from the copyright holder must be obtained to reproduce material from other sources. The copyright holder: (a) for a table, illustration or text that has been published previously is the original publisher; (b) for unpublished photographs is the photographer; (c) for unpublished photographs taken during the course of employment is the photographer’s employer. Acknowledgement to the copyright holder must be included in the table footnotes, figure legend or text as appropriate. |
|
Type each table double-spaced on a separate sheet. Do not submit tables as photographs.
Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. Give each column a short heading. Explanatory matter (e.g. abbreviations used) belongs in footnotes, not in the title.
For footnote indicators use lower-case letters (a, b, etc.). |
|
Ethics |
|
Illustrations |
|
|
When reporting experiments on human subjects indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 1983.
Do not use patient’s names, initials or hospital numbers, especially in any illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals indicate whether the institution’s or the National Research Council’s guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. |
|
Number all illustrations in one sequence. Attach a label to the back of each giving, in red ink, its number, the author’s name and an arrow indicating the top edge. Do not damage illustrations with paperclips, bend them or mount them on cardboard. Colour illustrations will incur a printing charge.
Line drawings and graphs. These should be professionally prepared; freehand or typewritten labelling is not acceptable. Submit them as glossy black and white prints. All lines and labels should be clear and of sufficient size to be legible when reduced for publication. Titles and detailed explanations belong in the legends, not on the illustrations themselves.
Photographs. Supply top quality glossy prints. Any lettering etc. must contrast well with the background. Photomicrographs must include a scale marker. Patients should have their identity concealed (including hospital numbers and initials) or should have given their written permission to publish.
Illustration legends. Include in these an explanation for any symbols etc. used. Identify the method of staining in photomicrographs. |
|
Presentation of the manuscript |
|
Type the manuscript on one side only of A4 (297 x 210 mm) or equivalent paper, with margins of at least 3 cm all round. Use double spacing THROUGHOUT. |
|
Title page |
|
In addition to the title and author’s names this should carry: (a) the affiliation and address of each author, cross-referenced to the appropriate name; (b) a short running headline of no more than 75 characters (including spaces). Correspondence, proofs and offprints will be sent to the first-named author unless otherwise indicated. |
|
Abstracts |
|
Proofs |
|
|
A structured abstract of no more than 150 words should state the purposes of the study, procedures, findings and conclusions. It is important that a structured abstract is supplied in the format presented at the beginning of every article appearing in this issue. Full instructions appear in the first issue of each volume; additional copies may be obtained from the Editor or the Publisher.
Provide approximately six key words, preferably from the medical subject heading list of Index Medicus (MeSH), to assist cross-referencing. |
|
To accelerate publication only one set of proofs is sent to the main author, showing the final layout of the paper as it will appear in the journal; it is, therefore, essential that manuscripts are submitted in their final form, readyfor the printer. Proof corrections must be limited to typographical errors.
Corrected proofs must be returned to Springer-Verlag within 48 hours of being received by the author. |
|
Text |
|
Offprints |
|
|
The text will usually be divided into sections headed Introduction, Methods, Statistics, Results and Discussion, and, where necessary, subsections of these. Describe statistical methods with enough detail in Statistics to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. Emphasize in the Discussion new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. |
|
Twenty-five offprints of each paper will be provided free of charge.
Additional copies may be purchased on an offprint order form which will accompany the proofs.
Reprints of any published papers are available direct from Springer-Verlag London Ltd. |
