Article Types and Submission Process

The International Urogynecology Journal (IUJ) accepts Original articles, Reviews (including Mini Reviews), Clinical Opinions, Editorials, Controversies in Urogynecology, Images in Urogynecology and Video. Original articles must present scientific results that are essentially new. All manuscripts are subject to peer review. All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through Editorial Manager at http://www.editorialmanager.com/iujo, or through the Springer website: http://www.springer.com/medicine/gynecology/journal/192. Manuscripts submitted by regular mail will not be reviewed and will not be returned. Authors will be notified by email to submit electronically. If you have any questions regarding manuscript submission, please contact the IUJ Editorial Office by email at iujeditorialoffice@gmail.com .

Authorship and Copyright and Financial Disclosure/Conflict of Interest Form All submissions must include a completed Authorship and Copyright and Financial Disclosure/Conflict of Interest Form. The corresponding author can complete the copyright portion of the form. All authors must complete and sign the conflict of interest and authorship portion of the form.

The Authorship and Copyright and Financial Disclosure/Conflict of Interest Form may also be obtained at the Editorial Manager login site or on the Springer website.

The Authorship and Copyright and Financial Disclosure/Conflict of Interest Form must be submitted electronically at the time of manuscript submission, without exception. In addition to this form, the title page must include a conflict of interest statement for each author.

If you have any questions regarding manuscript submission, please contact the IUJ Editorial Office by email at iujeditorialoffice@gmail.com.

Authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence or bias the work. Although an author may not feel there are conflicts, disclosure of relationships and interests affords a more transparent process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work. Awareness of real or perceived conflicts of interests is a perspective to which the readers are entitled and is not meant to imply that a financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research or compensation for consultancy work is inappropriate.

When submitting, a full First or Middle name is required for all authors. A complete Last name is required of all authors. For example, A. Clark Hobson is acceptable as an author name, but A.C. Hobson is not. Examples of potential conflicts of interests that are directly or indirectly related to the research may include but are not limited to the following:

 Research grants from funding agencies (please give the research funder and the grant number)

 Honoraria for speaking at symposia

 Financial support for attending symposia

 Financial support for educational programs

 Employment or consultation

 Support from a project sponsor

 Position on advisory board or board of directors or other type of management relationships

 Multiple affiliations

 Financial relationships, for example equity ownership or investment interest

 Intellectual property rights (e.g. patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights)

 Holdings of spouse and/or children that may have financial interest in the work

 In addition, interests that go beyond financial interests and compensation (non-financial interests) that may be important to readers should be disclosed. These may include but are not limited to personal relationships or competing interests directly or indirectly tied to this research, or professional interests or personal beliefs that may influence your research.

The corresponding author collects the conflict of interest disclosure forms from all authors. In author collaborations where formal agreements for representation allow it, it is sufficient for the corresponding author to sign the disclosure form on behalf of all authors. Examples of forms can be found here.

The corresponding author will include a summary statement in the text of the manuscript in a separate section before the reference list, that reflects what is recorded in the potential conflict of interest disclosure form(s).

See below examples of disclosures:

Funding: This study was funded by X (grant number X).

Conflict of Interest: Author A has received research grants from Company A. Author B has received a speaker honorarium from Company X and owns stock in Company Y. Author C is a member of committee Z.

If no conflict exists, the authors should state:

Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.

Patient Confidentiality

Patients have a right to privacy; identifying information, including names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, videos, or pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Patient consent should be written and available to the IUJ Editors upon request.

For Images in Urogynecology and Video articles, authors must obtain written consent from the patient. All authors must include a statement before the References section under the heading ‘Consent’ which reads: ‘Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this Images in Urogynecology / Video article (please delete as appropriate) and any accompanying images.’

Review Process

Once a manuscript has been submitted, the corresponding author will be contacted by email. Manuscripts that do not conform to the journal style (see Manuscript Preparation below) will be returned to the corresponding author for revision and resubmission online, prior to being considered for publication.

Manuscripts which do not meet the general criteria for this journal will be returned to the corresponding author without undergoing peer review and will not be accepted. This decision will be made by the Editors-in-Chief. Criteria include but are not limited to:

 relevance to the aims of the journal with the topic being of overall general interest

 sufficiently original and contributing to the advancement of the field

  clearly written with appropriate study methods, well-supported data and conclusions which are supported by the data

 clear and understandable English, grammar, and spelling

Once a manuscript has been submitted, conforms to journal style, and is deemed appropriate for this journal, it will be assigned to an editor and begin to go through the peer review process. The corresponding author will be contacted by email with editorial decisions as the manuscript moves through the peer review process.

Manuscripts that are returned to the corresponding author with Major Revisions or Minor Revisions, will include the reviewers' and the editor's comments and suggestions for changes. The notification will include the option for the corresponding author to accept or decline submitting a revised manuscript and addressing the reviewers' comments, as well as the deadline for resubmitting a revised manuscript. All revised manuscripts will be submitted online via Editorial Manager. Revised manuscripts should clearly show where revisions have been made by using the Track Editing option in Microsoft Word, and include a cover letter addressing each reviewer's point with a counterpoint. Manuscripts which have been returned with a decision of Major Revisions or Minor Revisions are not guaranteed acceptance after a revised manuscript has been resubmitted. Revised manuscripts will go through the peer review process. Manuscripts which have been reviewed and a decision for revisions (major or minor) has been made may be considered as new submissions if not resubmitted within three months from the time of notification. Requests for extension of the resubmission deadline should be directed by email to the Editorial Office.

Redundant, Duplicate, or Fraudulent Publication

Authors must not simultaneously submit their manuscript to another journal if that manuscript is under consideration by the International Urogynecology Journal (IUJ). Redundant or duplicate publication is considered as a manuscript that overlaps substantially with one already published in print or electronic media. At the time of manuscript submission, authors must inform the editor about all submissions and previous publications that might be regarded as redundant or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work. Any such publications must be referred to and referenced in the new manuscript. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted manuscript as a "supplemental file".

Authors must not:

 Willfully and knowingly submit false data

 Submit data from a source not the authors' own

 Submit previously published material (with the exception of abstracts) without correct and proper citation

 Omit reference to the work of other investigators that establishes a priority

 Falsely certify that the submitted work is original

 Use material previously published elsewhere without prior written approval of the copyright holder

Please refer to ‘Ethical Responsibilities of Authors’ for a detailed explanation on Publishing Ethics (full policy available at the IUJ Homepage).

Confidentiality

All manuscripts are treated by the assigned reviewers as privileged and confidential information. Reviewers may request advice from another party, subject to the general principles of confidentiality and permission of the managing editor. Reviewers' comments are not published or made available publicly except with the prior written permission of the reviewer, author, and editor. However, reviewers' comments are shared with the other reviewers of the same manuscript, and reviewers will be notified of the editor's decision. The reviewers' identity remains anonymous. All reviewers are asked to disclose any potential conflict that could influence their opinions of manuscripts, prior to review of a manuscript.

Editors will only disclose information pertaining to a specific manuscript (i.e. receipt, status in review process, content, criticism, or final decision) to the author and reviewers.

Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts must be written in clear, concise English and conform to the specifications described herein. Manuscripts that are considered poor quality in terms of English, grammar, and spelling and require extensive revisions for clarity may be returned to the author for revision prior to proceeding to the peer review process. Springer offers a manuscript revision service through Nature Research Editing Service, and can be accessed through a link on the IUJ Springer homepage. Nature Research Editing Service may also be accessed directly at http://authorservices.springernature.com/language-editing/ . This is associated with a fee for service, which is the author’s responsibility.

Authors are asked to add continuous line numbering to their manuscript.
