Instruction for Authors
Overview
World
Journal of Emergency Medicine (WJEM, ISSN 1920-8642, CN 33-1408/R) is
the official publication of the Emergency Medicine Society of Chinese
Medical Association. WJEM, a peer-reviewed quarterly journal based at
the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of
Medicine, China, publishes articles of interest to both clinicians and
researchers involving emergency medicine around world. It focuses on
content relevant to clinical practice and research, laboratory studies,
continuing medical education about emergency medicine.
Editorial requirements
Editors
of WJEM will review manuscripts with the understanding that they are
being submitted only to WJEM and have not been published, simultaneously
submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. This does not
preclude consideration of a manuscript that has been rejected by
another journal or of a complete report that follows publication of
preliminary findings elsewhere, usually in the form of an abstract.
Copies of any possibly duplicative published material should be
submitted with the manuscript that is being sent for consideration. WJEM
will not consider manuscripts that have appeared, in part or in total,
in other publications. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility
to complete, sign and submit on behalf of all authors the declaration
form stating that the submitted manuscript complies with the above
requirements. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the
work to take public responsibility for the content. This participation
must include: (1) Conception, design, or analysis and interpretation of
data, or both; (2) Drafting the article or revising it for critically
important intellectual content; (3) Final approval of the version to be
published.
Scope and content
WJEM publishes the following categories of articles involving different areas of emergency medicine:
Editorials:
The purpose of the editorials is to provide readers with a balanced
overwiew of relevant and up to date topics concerning emergency
medicine. The length of an editorial should be limited to 2-3 printed
pages including few references, tables, figures and legends if
necessary.
Review
articles: Review articles include systematic reviews and meta-analysis
critically describe the current state of knowledge or practice, and
integrate recent advances with accepted principles and practice, or
summarize and analyze consensus views of controversial issues in
knowledge of research or clinical practice.
Original
articles: Previously unpublished manuscripts report research or
clinical investigations or clinical observations. An original article
should consist of around 5-6 printed pages. But there is an exception
for invited articles. The topics of this section of articles focus on
advances in emergency medicine; pediatric emergency medicine; emergency
medicine administration; pharmacotherapy; toxicology; emergency medicine
services; community emergency medicine.
Short
reports: This section is devoted to clinical experience in medical
mythology; diagnostic challenge; methodology; tips from the trenches.
Continuing education: continuing education about emergency medicine
Case
reports: Reports of clinical cases are accepted in a limited number.
They should be typed double- spaced, and should be 2-4 printed pages in
length including references and no more than three figures.
Letters
to the Editor: This section is devoted to letters to the editor
including short communications on significant preliminary clinical data
or research development, as well as discussions of topics covered in
previously published articles. Letters to the editor are particularly
welcome as they provide a means of open communication among readers.
Text should be limited to 500 words, 5 references and 1 figure.
Humanity
News and events
WJEM
publishes articles in English with high quality content in an
easy-to-read format; therefore brevity and active voice are encouraged.
Accepted articles will be edited for clarity, brevity and journal style.
Manuscript preparation
Authors
should follow the general guidelines set by the Uniform Requirements
for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (www.ICMJE.org).
Articles not prepared in accordance with these guidelines including
those about style or format will be rejected. For grammar, style, and
punctuation, WJEM uses Manual of Style prepared by the American Medical
Association (www.amamanualofstyle.com).
Formatting
Manuscripts
should be double-spaced from title page to the list of references.
Authors are asked to use a consistent 12-point font of the text of
manuscript, with right margins unjustified. The pages of the manuscript
should be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page, and a
running title is required. The manuscript must include the following
parts:
Title page
Title
page should include the title of the article, authors' name(s) and the
affiliations of the authors. The name, address, telephone number, fax
number, and e-mail address for the corresponding author should be
provided in addition to a word count. All papers must include a
statement on a sheet of paper or on the title page declaring whether the
authors have financial or other conflicts of interest related to the
submitted article. If there are conflicts, they must be described
clearly.
Abstracts and key words
Structured
abstracts should be prepared in sections of Background, Methods,
Results, Conclusions with up to 250 words for original research
articles, and Background, Data resources, Results, Conclusions for
systematic review articles and meta-analyses. Case reports should also
include a structured abstract or an unstructured abstract of 150-200
words that summarizes the problem or objective, the main points, and the
conclusions of the article. Abstracts are not required for editorials,
controversies and commentaries, book reviews, news items, writings of
humanity or other reporting. Below the abstract, authors should provide a
list of three to six key words form the Medical Subject Headings of the
Index Medicus.
Ethical considerations
The
chief editor of the journal is responsible for establishing the highest
possible standards of the journal, as well as for maintaining its
integrity. The final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the
journal, its editor. The chief editor and the editorial board are
primarily responsible for ensuring a fair review process and will give
unbiased consideration to all submitted manuscripts. The statements and
opinions contained in the articles published in the WJEM are solely
those of the individual authors and contributors. For studies involving
human subjects, the Methods section should specify the nature of the
patient consent that was obtained at the time of enrolment. Authors must
clarify that an appropriate ethics committee or investigational review
board approved the research. In short, the studies must comply with the
Declaration of Helsinki (www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm). Studies using
animals must conform to the laws of the country where the research was
performed.
Conflict of interest
All
manuscripts must state whether any authors have proprietary interest or
not. At the time of submission of a manuscript the authors should
present a signed financial disclosure form, indicating any financial
interests or potential conflicts of interest relating to the manuscript.
Abbreviations and SI units
uses only standard abbreviations. The full term for which an
abbreviation stands for should be reported before its first use in the
main text. SI units should be adopted in the description of research
results in all articles submitted to the journal and should also be
indicated for symbols.
Tables
Each
table should be typed on a separate sheet, double spaced. As a general
role, tables should not unnecessarily offer duplicate information
offered in the text. Don’t format tables by dividing the text in columns
or by using tabs. Don’t submit tables as Figures. Tables should be
numbered consecutively in Roman numerals by order of citation in the
main text. Each table must include title (e.g. Table 1), appropriate
column headings and explanatory legends, including definitions of any
abbreviation used. References used within tables should appear as
footnotes in the table legend. These references should not be repeated
in the reference section unless they are also cited in the main text.
Identify statistical measures of variations, such as SD and SEM.
Figures
must be submitted as individual files. They should be cited
consecutively in the text and numbered in the order in which they are
discussed. If figures are not submitted in a high enough resolution for
publishing, they will be returned to the authors for technical revision.
When a patient is identifiable in a photograph, the author or authors
must supply the journal with evidence of the patient’s permission to
publish the photograph. If a figure has been published elsewhere,
authors should acknowledge the original source and submit to the editor
written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material.
Permission is required, regardless of authorship or publisher, except
for documents in the public domain.
Legends
to figures and illustrations should be typed double-spaced, starting on
a separate page with Arabic numerals corresponding to the Figures. When
symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used to identify parts of the
figure, identify and explain each one of them clearly in the legends.
References
references cited in the text should include only those that are
important and have been reviewed by authors. The authors are responsible
for the accuracy and completeness of the references and for correct
citation in the text. When listing references the names of journals
should be abbreviated according to the style of PubMed (List all authors
and/or editors up to 6; if more than 6, list the first 6 and et al).
All references should be accompanied with PMID roots in the abstract
serial number indexed by PubMed
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed). The references
should be marked in the text by superscript numbers in the order of
their appearance. The list of references at the end of the text should
be in this numerical order. If a manuscript not meeting these
requirements is submitted, it will be rejected without review, with a
note reiterating the need to follow the instructions for format. Once it
is corrected, the manuscript will enter the normal review process.
Additional instructions
Submissions
such as original articles, advances in emergency medicine and
continuing medical education should be limited to 2000-3000 words.
Review articles including systemic review and meta-analysis should be no
more than 3000-4000 words.
Editorials or commentaries
Although
normally by invitation, authors may submit a focused discussion on
major current problems of emergency physicians or on controversial
matters with significant implications for emergency medicine. Article
length should be 1000-1500 words.
Review articles including systematic reviews and meta-analysis
publishes reviews of the recent and past scientific literature. Review
articles, especially systematic reviews, aim at the topic or research
question addressed. Articles or data resources should be evaluated
systematically for inclusion in the review, and the process of
evaluation should be described in the paper. Authors of systematic
reviews incorporating meta-analysis should refer to the QUOROM statement
on the improvement of the quality of reports of meta-analysis of
randomized controlled trials (see table).
of systematic reviews are required to define a clear and clinically
relevant research question; retrieve and describe relevant reviews
published to date; document their limitations and justify the need for a
more comprehensive review; define the search strategy used to identify
primary articles; describe the methods used to select primary studies;
specify inclusion and exclusion criteria (criteria for selecting primary
studies should be based on population studied, intervention or
exposure, study outcomes, and study methodology); perform a blinded
assessment of the quality of the selected articles; assess the
reliability of this process by measuring the agreement of 2 evaluators;
account for all studies identified by the search and justify exclusions;
describe the method of combining study results; discuss variation
within and between studies; state their conclusions; compare their
conclusions to the literature and current standard of care ; outline the
limitations of the review; suggest areas for future research.
A
structured abstract for a systematic review should include such
headings as Background, Data resources, Results, and Conclusions.
Original articles
These
articles present primary data arising from original research.
Randomized clinical trials should conform to the criteria specified in
the CONSORT statement (see table) (www.consort-statement.org). All
clinical trial reports submitted to WJEM must be registered with an
internationally accepted clinical trials registry and the registration
number should be included in the manuscript. Researchers initiating
studies should register as soon as the approval of the ethics board has
been obtained. Authors of retrospective medical record reviews should,
where appropriate, incorporate the design elements. Authors reporting
the performance of a diagnostic test should follow the STARD initiative
(see table).
articles should be within the recommended word count, excluding tables,
figures and references. The Introduction section should describe study
background, objectives and hypotheses. The Methods section should
include a description of the overall study design, the study setting,
time period, patients studied (with eligibility criteria), a description
of the intervention, the primary and secondary outcome measures, and
the statistical analysis employed. The Results section should include
primary and secondary results, with appropriate tables and figures. The
Discussion section should highlight the important study findings and
discuss these in the context of the published literature. In addition,
this section should identify limitations of the research and future
directions. Conclusions should be stated in one paragraph and should be
supported by the data. A structured abstract must also be included as
mentioned above.
Pharmacotherapy and toxicology-related articles
Articles
are usually evidence-based reviews of current trends in pharmacology
and therapeutics, and of drug therapies in emergency medicine. Reviews
may focus on new pharmaceutical modalities or new indications for older
medications.
Reviews
should describe the background of the agent(s) under review and their
objectives. This description should be followed by comparisons to other
drugs within the same class. These articles should have sufficient
detail to allow the readers to understand the mechanism of the new agent
and to appreciate some of the pharmacokinetic principles for dosing of
the agent. The body of the review should be clinically evidenced and
critically evaluate the current evidence, negative and positive.
Efficacy, safety and cost on the use of this agent should be emphasized
in addition to the limitations and unanswered questions that arise from
the current literature. Articles about toxicology should be related to
the nature, effects and detection of toxins and their treatment.
Emergency medicine related to pediatrics
about pediatric emergency medicine are welcome if they are related to
the clinical practice or orther aspects of this specialty.
Community emergency medicine
Topics
on community emergency medicine should be related to clinical practice
in specific settings. Authors are encouraged to submit original research
articles about clinical or other topics specific to this practice.
Continuing education
research articles related to continuing education in emergency medicine
are welcome. Topics include didactic teaching, clinical training
methods and clinical and formal evaluation techniques.
Case reports
reports should illustrate an important error or practice point for
emergency physicians, identify previously un-described findings or
phenomena, or describe a therapy that could lead to future research or a
change in practice.
reports should conform to the general guidelines set by the Uniform
Requirements. They should include a brief introduction (1-2 paragraphs
describing why the topic is important); a case report with a succinct
summary of relevant historical, physical, laboratory and imaging
findings, emergency department diagnosis, management, and disposition,
and relevant follow-up information; a discussion summarizing what the
case illustrates and what the teaching points are; and a 1-paragraph
conclusion.
Clinical imaging and techniques
report interesting, high quality clinical images with accompanying text
that briefly reviews the important features of the related case, which
will stimulate diagnostic discussion. Diagnosis and explanation should
be distinct from the case presentation. Brief reports of clinical
techniques or pearls are also welcome. Article length should be1000-1500
words.
Letters to the Editor
should be addressed to the editor, should be submitted electronically
at em_nancy@zju.edu.cn. Letters will be considered for publication if
they relate to topics of interest to emergency physicians in urban,
rural, community or academic settings. Letters are generally not peer
reviewed but may be edited for brevity and clarity. Letters will be
limited to 400 words and 5 references. Letters responding to a
previously published WJEM article should reach the WJEM editorial office
within 6 weeks of the article's publication. Authors whose work is
discussed will be given an opportunity to respond.
should reflect the challenges of working in medicine. Generally they
should be humorous and/or provide some human interest and add to our
understanding of the physician experience. Articles should be less than
1000 words in length.
Manuscript submission and editing
should be submitted electronically at wjemerg@vip.163.com. All
submissions should be accompanied by a covering letter. Within the
letter, authors should identify potential conflicts of interest and
financial disclosures, specify each author's contribution to the work,
and indicate that all coauthors have agreed to publish the manuscript.
should be separated from the text, each printed individually on a
single sheet of paper. If figures, illustrations, tables or other
materials have been taken or adapted from a previous publication, the
authors should obtain written permission from the publishers or original
authors to reproduce these items and send the said permission to WJEM.
If patients could possibly be identified by photographs or descriptions
in the manuscript, authors should provide the journal written consent
from the patients to publish their photographs or descriptions. Enquries
about manuscript submission can be sent to em_nancy@zju.edu.cn.
Previous publication
Submitted
manuscripts are considered with the understanding by WJEM that they
have not been previously published nor are they under consideration for
publication by other journals. Authors should consult the Uniform
requirements for detailed guidelines on previous publication and
exceptions.
Additional resources
are encouraged to submit articles in many areas of research. The
methodological guidelines for reporting different types of studies have
been summarized and validated in a number of publications. Authors
should check their manuscripts with these reporting guidelines to ensure
that all important information for journal editors and readers is
present. The most common reporting guidelines for different published
study designs are summarized in Table 1. This list is not comprehensive
for all possible study designs, but does cover all major study types
commonly published.
Contacting WJEM editors
Prospective
authors with questions regarding a submission, or those who wish to
discuss a paper in the development stage are encouraged to contact the
chief editor or other editorial staff at em_nancy@zju.edu.cn.
