Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word document file format.
  • The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font; and all illustrations, figures, and tables with legends are placed within the text at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • All manuscripts should be submitted with good English and clear phrasing for the benefit of editors and reviewers.
  • Journal of Surgery and Medicine (JOSAM) imposes high English language and scientific medical writing standards. JOSAM editors strongly encourage contributors whose English is not excellent to have their manuscripts edited by a professional translator or native English speaker before submission. For manuscripts with less than optimal English language, authors must provide the corrected manuscript and a certificate of professional language editing. Otherwise, authors may choose to arrange the paid JOSAM language editing service provided by American Manuscript Editors.
