CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH?AUTHOR GUIDELINES FOR SYMPOSIUM AUTHORSType of Articles RequestedCORR? is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research. Articles for symposia, just as unsolicited articles, must pass peer review. All articles should be based on previously unpublished data unless you were specifically requested by the guest editor to submit a systematic review, an overview piece, or historical review. The primary article types are:Clinical research (Level-IV or higher)Basic science research (original results from laboratory or animal experiments)Systematic review / meta-analysis / decision analysisQuestion-Driven ResearchAll research in CORR is question-driven. Questions must be specific and framed around testable endpoints. This applies equally to the level-IV case series (what specific questions made you want to look up that group of patients?), as to surgical techniques (what deficiencies in the existing techniques did you try to remedy, and how do you know that you succeeded in doing so?), as to systematic reviews (what, specifically, would you like to learn by surveying the literature?), or to basic science.Peer ReviewAll scientific articles in CORR are peer reviewed. Your submission will be peer reviewed. Although we have solicited your participation in this symposium, the nature of peer review does not permit us to guarantee that your paper will be published. However, if your submission includes original research, asks good questions, answers them using a rigorous approach, and follows the author guidelines, the likelihood is high that it will. As with all CORR manuscripts, a final decision on publication lies with the Editor-in-Chief and with the concurrence of the Guest Editor. Templates for Manuscript Preparation, Submission Instructions, and Forms: Please use one of our templates, depending upon the kind of study you are writing. As our staff is very small in size, manuscripts will be returned if they do not use one of these templates and follow our author instructions (available under ‘Tools for Authors’ at: ).To submit your manuscript, go to our online submission site.If you do not have an account, you will need to make one by following the “Register” link in the top header. If you already have an account, you can proceed directly to “Login” link.If you received an emailed invitation to submit, you should already have an account. If you have lost the login credentials for your account, please contact our editorial office at corr@ or call +001-215-392-0270.To submit an invited manuscript, you should see a “My Accepted Invitations” link towards the top of your author account main menu. If you are submitting for a proceeding, you will simply use the “Submit New Manuscript” link.For invited authors, you will not need to select article type; this will populate automatically. For proceedings authors, you will need to select “Symposium/Proceedings/Workshop” as the article type.For all symposia authors, select the symposium you are submitting for on the “Section/Category” tab (they are clearly identified by name and guest editor).5) Since January of 2017, CORR, JBJS, and the Bone and Joint Journal (formerly JBJS British) require prospective registration of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in a publicly searchable clinical trials registry. For more information, please see this editorial on the topic (which also was published in JBJS and BJJ). Please provide us with the name of the registry and the registration number of your study. If your study was started before January of 2017, you may register your study retrospectively. If that applies to you, please let us know that this is the case and register your trial. Most RCTs in CORR register with , but registration with any publicly searchable registry will suffice. The World Health Organization maintains a list of registries at and another option is available through BioMed Central, at cannot send your work for peer review until you provide us with a registration number for your trial.Fast Track Publication:All symposia are fast tracked and scheduled with deadlines. Manuscripts are processed in the order received. CORR has “electronic-publish-ahead-of-print” which ensures the PubMed availability of the authors’ material well before print publication. Our average time from submission to transmittal is about 110 days, and articles are published electronically about 2 weeks after transmittal - a quick turnaround! ReferencesWe use the Modified JAMA Format: The modifications are as follows: (1) we list all authors (rather than the first six), (2) references appear in alphabetical order and numbered (rather than numbered in order of appearance in the text), (3) official Medline journal abbreviations are allowed and these must be italicized.Supplemental electronic material:We can incorporate supplementary electronic material online. We encourage those of you with video clips or animation in your paper to contact us for further guidelines.OPEN ACCESSCORR's publisher, Wolters Kluwer, offers a hybrid open access (OA) option to authors whose articles have been accepted for publication.

This choice has no influence on the peer review and acceptance processes. These articles are subject to the journal's standard peer review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their merit.The open access option entails:Copyright Transfer Forms?- Each author must complete and submit the journal's copyright transfer agreement and disclosure form detailing potential conflicts of interest based on the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (update.html).?A copy of the form is made available to the submitting author within the Editorial Manager submission process. Co-authors will automatically receive an Email with instructions on completing the form upon submission.?Authors of accepted peer-reviewed articles have the choice to pay a fee to Wolters Kluwer to allow perpetual unrestricted online access to their published article to readers globally, immediately upon publication.

Neither the journal office nor LWW will be held responsible for retroactive deposits to PubMed Central (PMC) if the author has not completed the proper forms.FAQ for open access comments: The “Top-5” problems causing rejections or extra manuscript revisions in Symposia are:“Book chapter style” review article submitted instead of original research or systematic review / meta-analysis.Research doesn’t pose clear questions. Pose 2-4 specific questions or purposes in the Abstract and at the end of the Introduction. Answer those questions sequentially in the Results and explore them in order in the Discussion. Ask yourself: “What are the key messages I want readers to remember?” Formulate questions/purposes based on those messages. Patient populations are not adequately defined. Study limitations are not explored in the second paragraph of the Discussion.References: Uncited, missing, or not in CORR format.More information about symposia in CORR? can be found in the editorial: Proceedings and Symposia in CORR?: What They Are, and Why We Publish Them.Questions: Please contact the CORR office (corr@ | +001-215-392-0270) or contact the guest editor. ................
