UROLOGY publishes the following types of articles:
1. RAPID COMMUNICATION ARTICLES: Manuscripts that are extremely timely, of utmost importance, and which the Editor deems warrant rapid publication. These manuscripts will be reviewed by two expert consultants within 48 hours and the authors will receive notification of the status within 72 hours. The manuscript will be published in the next available issue of UROLOGY. The submission/processing fee for a Rapid Communication Article is $300. Please make checks payable to: Elsevier Inc. Checks must be included with the manuscript upon submission. Manuscripts that the Editorial Board believes do not warrant rapid communication will have the submission fee returned and the authors may choose to have the manuscript continue with the standard 30-day UROLOGY review process. Please note that this opportunity is for RAPID COMMUNICATION of important timely findings and does not represent a means to obtain a RAPID REVIEW.
2. ADULT UROLOGY: This section will focus on original work relating to all aspects of urology in adults.
3. PEDIATRIC UROLOGY: This section will feature original work relating to all aspects of pediatric urology. Please address correspondence to: John P. Gearhart, M.D., at the above address.
4. BASIC SCIENCE: This section will focus on original basic science work related to all aspects of urology.
5. IMAGES IN CLINICAL UROLOGY: Concise, one-page pictorial description of a unique case. No more than three authors may represent each submission. Please address correspondence to: Jeffrey A. Stock, M.D., at the above address. Manuscripts if accepted will be published as space permits.
6. SURGEON'S WORKSHOP: Short, concise articles plus photos and/or drawings on "how I do it" techniques. Manuscripts if accepted will be published as space permits.
7. SURGICAL TECHNIQUES IN UROLOGY: This section should represent clear descriptions of complex surgical procedures with excellent graphical support. Please address correspondence to: Inderbir S. Gill, M.D., at the above address:
8. CASE REPORTS: Unique cases demonstrating concepts of diagnosis and management that are relevant to the practicing urologist. Each report must contain an abstract, introduction, case presentation and management, and discussion. Please address correspondence to: Jeffrey A. Stock, M.D., at the above address. Manuscripts if accepted will be published in their entirety electronically and the abstract and citation will appear in print.
9. REVIEW ARTICLES: This comprehensive review-type article covers timely urologic topics of clinical relevance and must be well-referenced. These articles should serve as a source for the practicing urologist and resident-in-training of current information on a clinically useful subject. REVIEW ARTICLES are solicited by the Editor and should not be submitted without prior written approval.
10. UPDATES: This shorter review-type article covers current urologic topics of clinical relevance. These articles serve as an update of current information on a clinically useful subject. UPDATES are solicited by the Editor and should not be submitted without prior written approval.
11. EDITORIALS/PAIRED EDITORIALS: All EDITORIALS/PAIRED EDITORIALS are solicited by the Editor and should not be submitted without prior written approval.
12. NAMES IN GENITOURINARY SURGERY: A quarterly scholarly investigation of an individual, procedure, concept, or term relevant to genitourinary surgery. ALL NAMES IN GENITOURINARY SURGERY manuscripts are solicited by the Editor and should not be submitted without prior written approval. Please address correspondence to: David A. Bloom, M.D., at the above address.
13. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Short communications regarding recent articles or comments on timely topics in letter form that should be supported by relevant references. Authors of the cited article will have the opportunity to read and reply to the letter. All LETTERS TO THE EDITOR must be submitted within one month of the publishing date of the cited article. Letters if accepted will be published as space permits.
Editorial Process
Peer Review: Manuscripts will be reviewed by internationally recognized experts on the subject. When relevant, a biostatistician, radiologist, or pathologist consultant will also review the manuscript. The reviews will be blinded to the names of the authors and the institution from which the manuscripts have been sent.
Conflict of Interest: All authors of accepted articles must disclose any conflict of interest they may have with an institution or product that is mentioned in the manuscript and/or is important to the outcome of the study presented. Authors should also disclose conflict of interest with products that compete with those mentioned in their manuscript. The Editor will discuss with the authors on an individual basis the method by which any conflicts of interest will be communicated to the readers.
Submission Process
Manuscripts must be submitted as hard typewritten documentation. Please submit five complete sets of the manuscript including references, tables, figures and videos/computer graphics. The article must be typed in 12-point type, double-spaced with one-inch margins (with all pages numbered consecutively). If the manuscript is found acceptable, the Editorial Office will request a disk at that time (3½ inch HD/DD, final version with hard copy of the final version). Make certain that the content of the disk and hard copy match exactly. Specify what software was used, including which release (eg, WordPerfect 6.1). Specify what computer was used (eg, IBM compatible PC, Apple Macintosh). The file should include all textual material (text, references, tables, figure captions). The file should follow the general instructions on style/arrangement, and, in particular, the reference style. The file should be single spaced (but the final hard copy must be double spaced) and should use the wrap-around end-of-line feature, ie, returns at the end of paragraphs only. Place two returns after every element, such as title, headings, paragraphs. Please do NOT use any automatically generated numbering or bulleting systems or hidden text (eg, for references, footnotes, lists). Unless specifically indicated in the various categories listed, each manuscript should contain an abstract and introduction, material and methods, results, comment, and conclusions sections. Structured abstracts should be 250 words or less and divided into four sections with the subheadings: (1) Objectives, (2) Methods, (3) Results, and (4) Conclusions. Several key words should be included on the title page upon submission. Using lower-case superscript letters, link each author with the appropriate affiliation. Manuscripts with incorrect format or that are over maximum length will be returned unreviewed for modifications (see table for correct format/length).
Tables: Each table (or panel in composite tables) should be counted as 250 words toward the final word count (unless indicated differently in the table). Each table must be typed on a separate sheet of paper and should supplement, not duplicate the text/figures. The tables must be numbered and cited in order as they first appear in text, and each must have a precise heading.
Illustrations: Each figure (or panel in composite figures) should be counted as 250 words toward the final word count (unless indicated differently in the table). Figures should be submitted as 4 [times] 5-inch glossy prints. Color prints are welcomed, but will be printed at the authors' expense of $400 per page ($125 per page for case reports). Send original prints only--not transparencies, slides, or negatives. All illustrations must supplement, not duplicate the tables/text. Figures must clearly convey their message and be of high quality and of sufficient size and clarity (especially lettering, arrows, and data points) to be interpretable when reduced for publication. Shading does not always reproduce well. Consider using widely spaced cross-hatching patterns, for example, that will remain distinct on reduction. Use black or white arrows, depending on the background color. All illustrations must be numbered and cited in order as they first appear in text. On the reverse side of each figure, indicate the figure number and orientation (top). Concise legends (typed on a separate page) must accompany each illustration. Photocopies are not acceptable.
Video/Computer Graphics: An original, edited VHS tape or CD-ROM will be the standard format for video submission and a 3½ inch floppy disk in IBM compatible PC format will be the standard format for computer graphics (ie, slide presentations with or without animation). Five copies of the cassette/computer disk containing the video/computer graphics should accompany the manuscript upon submission. Urology will not edit any video or computer graphics, but reviewers, following the usual policy with illustrations, may suggest changes in the video or computer graphic. A sound track is highly recommended. Maximum cumulative length of videos or computer graphics is 8 minutes, and may be divided into several smaller clips not to exceed 8 minutes in total. If the video or animation is divided into several clips, each clip should be identified at the beginning of the section, eg, Video Clip 1, Graphic 1, and on the cassette/computer disk. Several videos/graphics may be on the same cassette/computer disk, but if they are separate clips, the separation must be clearly indicated. Concise legends (typed on a separate page) must accompany each video clip or computer graphic presentation. A graphic will be used to indicate the location of a video clip or computer graphic. Videos/computer graphics for accepted manuscripts will not be returned. Videos and computer graphics will not be accepted separately from a manuscript that has been rejected. If the article is accepted for publication, the video will be digitized and permanently archived on the Urology website http://www.elsevier.com/locate/urologyonline . The location of the video on the World Wide Web will be linked in the online version of the article.
Permission: Authors must submit written permission upon manuscript submission from both the author and publisher of the original source when material is reproduced from other sources. This permission must include reproduction in both print and electronic formats.
References: References must be limited to those cited in the text, be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned, with their positions indicated in the text by a superscript Arabic number. Any authors beyond three will be replaced by et al.
For journal articles: Surname and initials of author(s), title of article, name of journal, volume: first and last pages, and year. As follows:
