Manuscript Submissions.
All submissions for consideration should be sent to: Executive Editor, WOUNDS, 83 General Warren Blvd., Suite 100, Malvern, PA 19355. For further instruction on submitting biomedical papers for consideration in WOUNDS, authors are encouraged to review Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (last updated October, 2001). For more information, visit www.icmje.org.
Review Process.
All articles are peer reviewed by three or more referees. Acceptance is based upon significance and originality. Because the review is double blind, authors’ names should not appear in the text or on the figures. Editorial revisions may be made to articles accepted for publication as an aid to clarity. If an article is accepted for publication, the corresponding author will be notified by letter of a tentative publication date, along with any revision requirements by the Board. If an article is not accepted, the corresponding author will be notified by letter as soon as possible. Submitted materials will not be returned to author unless specifically requested in writing. The WOUNDS review process typically takes one to three months but may take longer in some cases. Accepted articles requiring no or minor revisions are typically published within a six-month period following review. Accepted articles requiring heavy revisions are typically published within a nine- to twelve-month period following the original review and may require additional reviewing by the Board. Publication priority is given to articles that contain new or ground-breaking material that is considered to be of particular interest to the WOUNDS readership.
