Guide for Authors

Asian

Journal of Urology is an international peer-reviewed journal jointly

founded by Shanghai Association for Science & Technology (SAST) and

Second Military Medical University. It focuses on all specialties of

urology both basically and clinically (including, but not limited to,

surgical oncology, endourology, calculi, female urology, erectile

dysfunction, pediatrics, renal transplantation, reconstructive surgery,

infertility, radiology, pathology, and neurourology).

Manuscript submission

Manuscripts

for Asian Journal of Urology should be submitted via the homepage of

the journal at http://www.ajurology.com or via the online manuscript

submission and review system at http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/aju.

If

you have any questions for papers’ preparation, please contact

Editorial office of Asian Journal of Urology via ajurology@smmu.edu.cn.

Article types

Editorials

usually provide commentary and analysis concerning an article in the

issue of the Journal in which they appear. They may include 1 figure or

table. They are nearly always solicited, although unsolicited editorials

may occasionally be considered. Editorials are limited to 750 words,

with up to 10 references.

Reviews

should include the urological questions or issues which are importance

for biomedical research, clinical practice, special practice, or public

health; description of how the relevant evidence was identified,

assessed for quality, and selected for inclusion; synthesis of the

available evidence such that the best-quality evidence (e.g., randomized

clinical trials, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and high-quality

prospective cohort studies) should receive the greatest emphasis; and

discussion of controversial aspects and unresolved issues. Authors will

be asked to describe characteristics of the literature search performed

for their review. A narrative (unstructured) or structured abstract is

required and should not exceed 250 words. Maximum length: 6000 words of

text (not including abstract, tables, figures, references, and

online-only material), with no more than a total of 4 tables and/or

figures and no more than 50-75 references.

Mini-reviews

are much more focused than Reviews. A Mini-review introduces the reader

to a particular area of an author’s research through a concise overview

of a selected topic. The content should balance scope with depth, and

references to important works from others that are significant to the

topic, should be included. It is shorter (approximately 2000 words).

However, it should still have an Abstract (no more than 150 words) that

should similarly arouse the readers’ interest.

Original

articles typically include basic research, randomized trials,

intervention studies, cohort studies, case-control studies,

epidemiologic assessments, other observational studies, surveys with

high response rates, cost-effectiveness analyses and decision analyses,

and studies of screening and diagnostic tests. These articles should be

arranged as follows: Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials

(Patients) and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References,

Tables, Legends. A structured abstract is required and must conform to

the following style: Objective, Materials (Patients) and Methods,

Results, Conclusion. Maximum length: 5000 words of text (not including

abstract, tables, figures, references, and online-only material). There

should be no more than 8 tables and/or figures.

Clinical

experiences report the experience for diagnosis, treatment or

prevention of urological diseases. A structured abstract is required.

Maximum length: 2000 words of text (not including abstract, tables,

figures, references, and online-only material) with no more than a total

of 5 tables and/or figures.

Clinical

images are intended to provide a visual image of an interesting and

unique urological observation. A 500-word description (including

acknowledgment, all text, tables, figure legends, and references) of the

clinical issue, the patient’s urological findings, and the image should

be included. There should be no more than 2 images and 4 references.

Case

reports include short reports or original studies or evaluations or

unique, first-time reports or clinical cases (individual or a series).

Maximum length: 1000-2000 words (including acknowledgment, abstract, all

text, tables, figure legends, and references), with no more than 15

references and 4 tables and/or figures.

Letters

should be useful to urological practitioners. The length should not

exceed 1000 words.  There should be no more than 2 tables and/or figures

and 10 references.

Special feature

Urological

data include 1) the number, distribution and features of urological

institutes, equipments, and researching faculty in various countries in

the world; 2) the data analysis of international cutting-edge researches

on urology, such as new theories, techniques, projects, clinical

trials, awards, patents, and outcomes transforming; 3) quantitative

analysis on urological literatures to provide references for future

researches. Submissions could be research article (3000-4000 words),

commentary (1000-2000 words), or meta-analysis (4000-6000 words).

Asian

focus welcomes researches with typical Asian features, including those

on epidemical, genetical, regional areas, and occupational, frequently

occurring diseases, as well as disease spectrum and other representing

the current situations in Asia (Asian countries’ names are preferred

appearing in the title). It also includes policy and guide

interpretation in Asian countries and regions. Submissions could be

research article (3000-4000 words), review (4000-6000 words), commentary

(1000-2000 words), opinion or view points (1000-2000 words).
