Submission guidelines

Instructions for Authors

General

Esophagus, the official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, publishes significant studies related to esophageal diseases. Original articles and “How I do it”, short articles on methods or techniques recommendable for practical diagnosis or treatment of esophageal diseases, will be peer-reviewed for publication on the understanding that the study has not been submitted simultaneously to or accepted by another journal. The criteria for acceptance are originality and high scientific quality. Review articles are in principle solicited by the Editor, but unsolicited manuscripts will also be considered. Letters to the Editor commenting on articles published in the journal or expressing views on topics of esophageal diseases are welcomed.

Prerequisites for Publication

A copy of the certification form must be submitted to the journal’s editorial office by uploading it as a PDF file at the same time you submit your manuscript via Editorial Manager.

Ethical Standards

Esophagus has adopted the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts (URM) established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/). The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the below-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or failure to fulfill the below-mentioned requirements.

Human rights statement and informed consent

For studies with human subjects, include the following statement before the References section:

All procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1964 and later versions. Informed consent or substitute for it was obtained from all patients for being included in the study.

If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.

Identifying information of patients of human subjects, including names, initials, addresses, admission dates, hospital numbers, or any other data that might identify patients should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. If any identifying information about patients is included in the article, the following sentence should also be included:

Additional informed consent was obtained from all patients for which identifying information is included in this article.

Animal studies

For studies with animals, include the following sentence before the References section:

All institutional and national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals were followed.

For articles that do not contain studies with human or animal subjects performed by any of the authors, while it is not absolutely necessary, we recommend to include the following sentence, just to make sure that readers are aware that there are no ethical issues with human or animal subjects:

This article does not contain any studies with human or animal subjects performed by any of the authors.

Conflict of Interest

When authors submit a manuscript, they are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships that might bias their work. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist. Each author must complete and submit the COI form by uploading it as a PDF file at the same time the manuscript is submitted via Editorial Manager. The “ICMJE Uniform Disclosure Form for Potential Conflicts of Interest” available at http://www.icmje.org/coi_instructions.html should be used.

In a manuscript, all disclosures should be inserted under "Conflict of Interest" before the reference list, as shown in the following example.

Conflict of Interest Statement

Author A serves as a consultant to Z (drug company name).

Author B’s spouse is chairman of Y.

Author C received a research grant from X.

Author D received lecture fees from W.

Author E holds a patent on V.

Author F has been reimbursed by U for attending several conferences.

Author G received honoraria for writing promotional material for T.

Author H owns stock in S.

Author I declares that he has no conflict of interest.

If multiple authors declare no conflict, this can be done in one sentence:

Author J, Author K, and Author L declare that they have no conflict of interest.

IMPORTANT:

Upon receipt of the certification form and COI form, manuscripts are officially recognized as submissions.

Manuscript Submission Legal Requirements

Submission of a Manuscript Implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities

– tacitly or explicitly

– at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Permissions:

Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

Online Submission:

Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please follow the hyperlink “Submit online” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen. http://www.editorialmanager.com/esop

Preparation of Manuscript

Manuscript format and style should be in accordance with the “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals”, available online at http://www.icmje.org/. Type the manuscript on white A4 paper with margins of at least 25mm. Use double spacing throughout, including for the title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, conflict of interest, references, individual tables, and figure legends. Number pages consecutively from the title page to figure legends.

Maximum of word counts:

・Review articles: The length of the manuscript should be limited to 5,000 words including figures, tables (1 figure / table equates to 250 words). Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and reference lists should contain no more than 50 items.

・Original articles: The length of the manuscript should be limited to 4,000 words including figures, tables (1 figure / table equates to 250 words). Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and be structured into four paragraphs: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Reference lists should contain no more than 30 items.

・How I do it: The length of the manuscript should be limited to 1,500 words including figures, tables (1 figure / table equates to 250 words). Abstracts should be no longer than 150 words and reference lists should contain no more than 10 items.

・the name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed

・the name and address of the author responsible for correspondence about the manuscript, with e-mail address

Abstract and Key Words:

The second page should carry an abstract and three to five key words using terms from the medical subject headings (MeSH) list of National Library of Medicine.

Text:

Text formatting:

Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.

・Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.

・Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.

・Do not use field functions.

・Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.

・Use the table function to make tables. Ppt files are not suitable.

・Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.

Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use the Microsoft equation editor or MathType instead.

・Save your file in doc or docx format.

Headings:

Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.

Abbreviations and Symbols:

Use only standard abbreviations. Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement.

Footnotes:

Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for signifi cant values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols. Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.

Acknowledgments:

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.

Terminology:

・Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal multiples.

・All hematologic and clinical chemistry measurements should be reported using the metric system of the International System of Units (SI).

・Generic names of drugs and pesticides are preferred; if trade names are used, the generic name should be given at first mention.

References

Citation:

Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:

1 Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].

2 This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].

3 This effect has been widely studied [1–3, 7].

Reference List:

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively. List the first three authors only and add "et al".
