Instructions for Authors
The mission of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS) is the dissemination of knowledge to improve the care of orthopaedic patients.
MANUSCRIPT AND AUTHORSHIP POLICY
• Presubmission approval of a proposal is required for review manuscripts (the Standard Review, Orthopaedic Advances, and Surgical Techniques article types). See page 2. Invited authors and research manuscripts do not need a presubmission proposal.
• JAAOS uses Editorial Manager® (www.editorialmanager.com/jaaos) for all proposal and manuscript submissions.
• Note: Please submit your fully written research manuscripts (the Research article type) directly to Editorial Manager. A proposal is not required. Case Reports should be submitted to JAAOS Global Research & Reviews (http://www.editorialmanager.com/jaaosglobal/default.aspx).
• Invited authors: Please log in to the Editorial Manager website, click “My New Invitations” in your author main menu, click “Agree to Submit,” and follow the on-screen directions.
• Video: You are encouraged to submit video with audio to accompany your manuscript. See tables 1 through 3 below and the section on videos in the Checklists (page 9).
• Authorship: We require that the senior author take an active role in manuscript preparation and development. Standard Review, Orthopaedic Advances, and Surgical Techniques manuscripts are limited to 4 authors.
• If a contributor to your manuscript does not meet the criteria for authorship listed below, that author should be credited in an acknowledgment.
• No simultaneous submissions (to more than one publisher) or multi-part articles will be considered.
Authorship policy: Research (the Research Section of the Journal and JAAOS Global Research & Reviews) and Case Report (JAAOS Global Research & Reviews)

PRESUBMISSION APPROVAL
Authors of Research manuscripts may submit fully written manuscripts at any time, without an invitation. Prospective authors of Standard Review, Orthopaedic Advances, and Surgical Techniques manuscripts must first submit a proposal, which will be reviewed by the JAAOS Editorial Board. If your proposal is approved, you will receive an invitation to submit the blinded manuscript. Acceptance of your proposal DOES NOT guarantee acceptance of your manuscript. It means only that your manuscript will be reviewed.
Submit all proposals for Standard Review, Orthopaedic Advances, or Surgical Techniques manuscripts to the JAAOS Editorial Manager website at www.editorialmanager.com/jaaos by following these steps:
1. Prepare your proposal on the topic using this template.
2. Register in Editorial Manager or log in to your existing author account and click “Submit New Manuscript.”
3. From the Article Type drop-down menu, select “Manuscript Proposal” and proceed through the remaining screens.
Please see Presubmission Approval Instructions for complete directions.
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE PUBLICATION
Publication of your manuscript as an Online Exclusive means that the full text of your article will appear online-only at www.jaaos.org, rather than in print:
• The online version of JAAOS is the official version of publication record.
• The online version of your article appears in the same format as that of the print version of JAAOS typically months before it would appear in print.
• The JAAOS journal cover, Table of Contents, and social media promotion all remain the same.
OPEN ACCESS PUBLICATION
Compliance with NIH and Other Research Funding Agency Accessibility Requirements
A number of research funding agencies require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, the Academy’s publishing partner, Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. (WKH) will identify to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and will transmit the post-print of an article based on research funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, or Howard Hughes Medical Institute, to PubMed Central. Authors may indicate such funding when submitting their manuscripts into Editorial Manager, during the Funding Information step.
Choosing Open Access Publication
Authors of accepted peer-reviewed articles have the option to pay an article processing charge (APC) to allow perpetual unrestricted online access to their published article to readers globally, immediately upon publication. These articles are subject to the standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit. Authors may opt for the open access option after manuscript acceptance; this choice has no influence on the peer review and acceptance process. Authors who initially decline the open access option may change that decision for up to 2 years from initial acceptance. The APC is charged on acceptance of the article and should be paid within 30 days by the author, funding agency, or institution. Payment must be processed for the article to be published open access. For a list of journals and pricing, please visit the Wolters Kluwer Open Health Journals page.
Benefits of Open Access Publication
• Authors Retain Copyright: readers can disseminate and reuse the article without modifying individual elements of the work (such as figures, tables, etc.). Any modification in the creation of derivative works requires specific permission from the author.
• Authors can fulfill a grant obligation and meet applicable license requirements with Creative Commons licenses. For more information visit: http://wkauthorservices.editage.com/open-access/.
• Quick global access to your article.
Authors who have questions about open access are welcome to consult the Wolters Kluwer Open Health site: http://www.wkopenhealth.com/openaccessfaq.php.
MANUSCRIPT SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPONENTS
IMPORTANT NOTE: All manuscripts submitted to JAAOS will undergo double-blind peer review.

Failure to submit an appropriately blinded manuscript will result in your manuscript being returned to you for correction. To assist in this process, please ensure the following:
•Remove any identifying information, including author names, from file names. If you are using Office2007 or later, please use the Document Inspector Tool to remove only the document properties andpersonal information from the manuscript prior to submission. This process ensures that the documentproperties have been anonymized
