Criteria for Elaboration

GENERAL CRITERIA FOR PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS

"The Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology subscribes to the Clinical Trials Registration policies of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), acknowledging the importance of these initiatives for the international registration and communication of information on clinical trials, in an open access basis. Thus, as of 2007 we will only accept for publication those papers on clinical trials which received an identification number from one of the Clinical Trial Registers validated by WHO and ICMJE criteria, which addresses are available at: http://www.icmje.org/. The identification number must be registered at the end of the abstract."

The BJORL accepts the following types of paper:
Original papers - original papers are defined as reports from original studies, and such information must be significant and valid. Readers must be able to learn from a general paper what was firmly established and from what significant questions remain unanswered. Speculation must be kept to a minimum.
Review papers (Theme reviews) - review papers are usually published. They are expected to cover the existing literature in one spe¦cific topic. The review must assess the basis and validity of the opinions published, and must point the differences in interpretation and opinion.
Case Reports - we will only publish uncommon and especially significant cases. Priority shall be given to reports of multidisciplinary and/or practical interest. For a more detailed explanation of the BJORL editorial board's expectations, the paper's format and the criteria utilized by the editorial board in their assessment, consult the text: "Criteria for the creation and assessment of a scientific paper" in the following link: http://www.rborl.org.br/criterios.asp.
Letter to the Editor - this section aims at fostering a healthy debate between our readers and authors. The texts submitted by the reader to this section will be sent to the authors of the papers commented, so that they can answer to the criticism or praise. The publication of let¦ters to the Editor in the journal will be at the discretion of the editorial board, and only when there is an answer from the author.
The text is divided in two parts: Format and Content.

Format

Size and Layout
The complete paper must not exceed 25 pages of A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) size paper, written in size 12 Times New Roman type, double spacing between the lines. If the reviser deems pertaining, he/she may suggest the author to suppress graphs and tables or even to condense the text.

Title and authors

A good title enables the readers to identify the topic and helps the documentation center classify and catalogue the material. The title must be limited to a maximum of ten words, and its content should describe in a concise and clear way the topic discussed by the paper. Please, avoid titles which are too general, acronyms and abbreviations.
Only those who actually participated in the study must be de¦clared authors. Other means of mentioning may be used at the end of the paper. A paper with more than 7 authors will only be accepted if the topic is multidisciplinary in nature or involving basic sciences.
Those responsible for the paper should state the professional position of each one of the authors who participated in the study. Those who perform the following tasks can and should be considered authors:

  • Conceive and plan the project, as well as those who analyze and interpret the data,
  • Organize the text or critically review the manuscript's content,
  • Provide support and final approval of the paper to be submitted.

All three criteria must be met for the individual to be considered an author or coauthor.
The criteria which do not qualify the individual as author are the following:

  • Provide funds or supports the study,
  • Collect data for the study,
  • Provide general supervision to a study group,
  • Be the head of the service or Head of the Department.

If the individual does not fit the description for author, but is nevertheless relevant for the paper, he/she may be acknowledged at the end of the paper.

Summary and Keywords
The abstract should not have any information that is not in the text. It must be written in an unbiased way and it MUST NOT contain abbreviations or bibliographic references. The abstract must be able to help the reader decide whether or not the entire paper is worth read¦ing. It will be, together with the title, the only part of the study that will be available in most libraries and cataloguing and indexation agencies, therefore, it represents the very business card of the study published.
Original and review papers MUST have a summary (abstract) in Portuguese and another one in English with approximately 200 words, with its topics duly highlighted (structured), and the following must be clearly indicated:

  • The theoretical assumptions and justifications for the study (Introduction);
  • The study goals (Objective);
  • Basic method utilized and description of the paper - review or original - (Method);
  • Main results and their statistical interpretation - optional for narrative review studies - (Results) and
  • Conclusion reached (Conclusion).

The abstract structure of a review paper must be: Introduction / Objective / Methodology / Conclusion.
After the abstract, three to five keywords must be listed, and they should be based on the DeCS (Health Sciences Keywords) and MeSH (Medical Subject Headings), which can be accessed at the BIREME (Regional Medical Library) website: www.bireme.org or at the BJORL website, during the step 4 of the paper submission process.

Paper Body
ORIGINAL PAPERS must be in the so called IMRDC format: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion.
It is in the Introduction that we establish the objective and the reasons for doing the study. In it we must have the reasons and the very pertinence for the study, its importance and scope, gaps, controversies, theoretical incoherencies and assumptions or personal experiences which led the author to investigate the topic. The goal (s) must be discussed in the last paragraph of the introduction.
In the Methods section, one expects to find a description of the sample studied and enough details concerning the investigation instrument.
In studies involving human beings or animals, the authors must inform the approval protocol number from the Ethics Committee of the institution where the study was carried out.
The sample must be well defined and the inclusion and exclu¦sion criteria must be clearly informed, as well as the selection criteria and group allocation (pairing, random, sequencing, stratification, etc.).
The method must be coherent vis---vis the issue presented, and the study design must be explained.
Results must be presented in a clear and summarized way. Everything discussed in this item must have come from the method. We encourage the use of graphs and tables, as well as descriptive and comparative statistical analyses.
In the Discussion, we expect the author to present his/her own experience with the subject, explore his/her theories and discuss the results associated with these assumptions. This is also the place to men¦tion possible methodological difficulties.
Conclusion must be succinct and confined to the paper's objec¦tive. It is paramount that the method and results achieved be enough to support the items listed in the conclusion.
CASE REPORTS must have an introduction with the pertaining review which justifies its importance, because of rarity or clinical impact. The case should be rich in visual details and final remarks, discussing the details which make this case eligible for publication. There is no need to send an abstract for it.

  • Title - concise and descriptive, with a maximum of 100 characters. It must not include the words: case report and literature review.
  • Keywords - a maximum of 5 and in alphabetical order.
  • Case reports should have no more than five authors. If you wish to list more, you have to justify it.
  • The text's body must be structured as: introduction, case presentation, discussion and final remarks.
  • The complete text, aside from the title and references must not have more than 600 words.
  • References - a maximum of 6.
  • We accept only one table or figure.

The LETTER TO THE EDITOR should be used by the readers to express their opinions on the topics and papers published in the journal. It is submitted via the Web, just like any other paper, and it must have the following structure:

  • The letter will be sent to the paper's author, who will have six weeks to answer it.
  • Both the letter and the answer will be published in the same journal issue, and there will be no more replies.
  • The letters will not be revised by the editorial board. Nev¦ertheless, should they be too personal or aggressive, as judged by the Editor, they might not be published.

Bibliographic references
These are essential to identify the original sources of the con¦cepts, methods and techniques mentioned in the text and which are part of previous techniques, investigations or studies; to corroborate the actions and opinions from the author; and to provide the reader with the reference information he/she needs in order to consult primary sources.
References must be pertinent and updated. The Journal accepts a maximum of 50 references for original and review papers, and 6 refer¦ences for case reports.
All references must be mentioned in the text with consecutive superscripted numbers, following the order in which they appear. At the end of the paper the citations will be part of the reference in the following way:

Papers from scientific journals
You need to provide the following information: author (s), paper title, abbreviated title of the journal where it was published; year; volume (in Arabic numbers), issue number, first and last pages. All the informa¦tion is given in the original language of the cited paper. The journals' acronyms must be based on the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals", available at http://www.icmje.org. Following, we show some examples which illustrate the Vancouver style for the creation and listing of bibliographic citations. We must stress that when the first and last pages of a citation are in the same tenths, hun¦dredths, thousandths, etc. there is no need to write repeated numbers. For instance, a reference which starts on page 1320 and ends on page 1329, shall be listed as 1320-9.

Tables
The tables must be submitted in .doc (Microsoft Word) or .xls (Microsoft Excel) format. Their purpose is to group values in lines and columns, making it easier to read and interpret, must be presented in an intelligible way to the reader; they must be self-explanatory and complementary - not to repeat the text. They must not bear any excess of statistical information, because then they become incomprehensible and confusing. Use the exact number of lines and columns in order to create the table. Empty or merged lines/columns may deform table, rendering it incomprehensible.
They must have a brief, but complete title, in such a way that the reader may be able to easily determine what was plotted there, and also to indicate place, data and source of information. The title must come on top of the table. The header of each column must include the measurement unit and be as concise and possible; it must clearly indi¦cate the bases of the relative measures (percentages, rates and indices), when used. You must only leave blanks those cells corresponding to non-applicable data; you should use three points for missing informa¦tion because observations were not inserted. Footnote indices will be done through letters used as exponents in alphabetical order: a, b, c, etc.
Type or print each table with double spacing in a separate sheet of paper. Do not submit tables as photographs. Number the tables consecu¦tively in the order they are cited in the text. Give each column a short or abbreviated title. Insert the necessary explanations in the footnote, not in the title. In footnotes, explain all the off-standard abbreviations used in each frame. For footnotes, use the following symbols, in the following sequence:
Identify variation statistical measures, such as standard deviation and mean standard error.
Do not use internal vertical or horizontal lines.
Make sure each table is mentioned in the text.
If you use data from another source, published or unpublished, have permission and fully acknowledge it.
The use of too many tables in relation to the text length may cause difficulties in page layout. Please, remember that the Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology accepts papers with a total of 25 pages.
The editor, upon accepting the paper, may recommend that additional charts which contain important data but very extensive be deposited in a file service, such as the Ancillary Publishing Service in the United States, or make them available to the readers. Should it hap¦pen, a proper statement will be added to the text. Submit such charts for appreciation together with the paper.

Figures
Illustrations (graphs, diagrams, maps or photographs, amongst others) are used to highlight trends and comparisons in a clear and exact way: they should be easy to understand and add information, not replicate it. Their titles must be as concise as possible, but very explicit at the same time, located in the lower portion of the figure.
Notes are not placed at the foot of the figure, but the source is mentioned if taken from another publication. Having enough room, the explanations for the maps and graphs must be included in the figure.
Figures must be professionally designed or photographed. Free-hand drawings or typed are not acceptable. Titles and detailed explana¦tions must be in the caption, not in the figure.
Microphotographs must bear internal scale markers. Symbols, arrows or letters used in microphotographs must contrast with the background.
If pictures of people are used, either the latter should not be identifiable in the former, or their pictures must come with a written permission for their publication.
The figures must be consecutively numbered according to the order in which they were cited in the text. If a figure has been previously published, the original source must be acknowledged and you must also submit a written permission from the owner concerning copyrights to reproduce the material. Permission is required regardless of authorship or publisher, except for documents in the public domain.


Captions for Illustrations
Type in double spacing, starting in a separate page, with Arabic numbering corresponding to the illustration.
When using symbols, arrows, numbers or letters to identify the parts of the illustrations, you must clearly identify and explain each one in the caption. Explain the internal scale and report on the coloring method used in the microphotographs.

Unit of Measurement
Length measures, such as height, weight and volume must be informed in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal multiples.
Temperature must be informed in degrees Celsius. Blood pres¦sure must be reported in millimeters of mercury.
Blood data and laboratorial analyses values must be shown in the metric system vis-E-vis the International System (IS).

Abbreviations and acronyms
Use the least possible. The first time an abbreviation or acronym appears in the text, it must be spelled out, being followed by the acronym or abbreviation within parenthesis, e.g. Broad Immunization Program (BIP).

General instructions on how to submit manuscripts online using the BJORL SGP - Publishing Management System of Tthe Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology

The manuscripts must be submitted either in Portuguese or in English.
The online submission must be made through the SGP/BJORL URL: www.rborl.org.br/sgp. When you enter this website, the system will ask for your username and password if you are already registered. If not, click on "I wish to register" and register yourself. Or even, should you have forgotten your password, use the reminder mechanism to remind you of your password, it will send you an email with your password.
The rules for paper formatting can be found at: http://www.bjorl.org.br/portugues/criterios.asp. We would also like to remind you that studies involving human beings or animals must bear their approval protocol number assigned by the Ethics Committee of the institution where it was carried out.
The submission process is made up of eight steps, which are as follows:
1st Enter the Classification
2nd Send the images attached to your paper
3rd Register coauthors
4th Enter Title and Keywords
5th Enter Summary and Comments
6th Setup Manuscript
7th Copyright (Granting Rights)
8th (Last step) Author's Approval (End paper submission)
After paper submission, the system provides you the option of saving a copy of the manuscript in PDF. The Journal strongly encourages authors to electronically submit manuscripts written in WordPerfect or Microsoft Word, because in the "Setup Manuscript" step, the author will see a screen that simulates Word, where it is possible to "copy and paste" from any text editor, including the tables. Images and graphs have their own way of publishing, described below.
Online submission - step by step
1st Step: inform the type of paper
There are the following options: Original Paper, Case Report, Letter to the Editor, Systematic Review and Review.
2nd Step: Sending images for your paper
The images must be in the JPG, GIF or TIF format. Should you need to change the format of your images, visit the DOWNLOADS session in the SGP website: http://www.bjorl.org.br/SGP/naveg/downloads. asp and download some of the freeware available for image editing (you will need an access password). The system sends groups of up to five images at a time. In order to send more than five images, just click on "Send more images". Soon after you'll see miniatures of the images, where there will be an icon, in which you must click should you wish to change the title and the caption of the submitted image. Please, remember to check the minimum resolution required for each type of image, according to the table above.
3rd Step: Register Coauthors
Register each coauthor, and for that you need to enter full name, position and titles. CPF number may be added later. The order of co¦authors may be easily changed using the arrows shown on the screen.
4th Step: Enter Title and Keywords
Enter the paper's title, in Portuguese and English, and Keywords in Portuguese and in English. These words must be present in DECS and in MESH, which can be found in the SGP in all the screens. Impor¦tant: The system will not accept duplicated papers with the same name for principal author. Should the same paper be submitted by different authors, the BJORL has the right of taking these papers off the system.
5th Step: Enter Abstract and Comments
The Summary/Abstract must have a maximum of 500 words, be¦cause what exceeds it will be automatically deleted by the system, and a warning will be sent to the author. It must be structured as: Introduction, Objective, Materials and Methods, Results and Conclusion. If not, the system will block it. The author must fill out the following fields: Institu¦tion, Name and mail address, financial support (information concerning grants or other types of financial support must be provided), and the letter to the editor (optional). Important: the maximum accepted by the online submission system for abstracts in Portuguese and English is of 500 words. What exceeds this will be automatically deleted by the system.
6th Step: Setup the Manuscript
On this screen you see a simulator of the MS Word, with all the necessary text formatting functions. In order to insert your text in this field, select your entire paper, copy and paste it on the manuscript setup field. Select only texts and tables, since the images must be sent according to the 2nd step and will be automatically inserted at the end of the paper. Important: Never enter in this field the names of authors, coauthors, or any other information which may convey where the study was carried out (Institution, Hospital, etc.). Such requirement is due to the fact that the revision process happens in a double-blind fashion. If this is disregarded, the paper will be returned as OUT-OF-STANDARD, so that it can be corrected by the author and, consequently, its publica¦tion will be delayed, after accepted.
7th Step: Copyrights (Granting rights)
In this step we see the Copyright term, which should be printed, so that the author can collect the signatures, and enter the CPF numbers from each coauthor. Following this, the document will be sent to the BJORL headquarters by mail or by fax: +55 (11) 5053-7512. Before print¦ing, make sure you have answered the two questions at the end of the form. Important: the SGP provides the option of printing this copyright form, by clicking on "Print Copyright Form".
8th Step: (Last step) Author's Approval (End submission)
This is the last step needed to complete paper submission. In this screen, the author will have the option of visualizing his/her study in the system and also to save a PDF version of the recently submitted paper. Important: the author must click on "APPROVE MANUSCRIPT" so that the paper can be sent to the BJORL secretary for checking and confirmation.
After-submission procedures (e-mail notice) - after submit¦ting your paper, you will receive an e-mail informing whether or not the submission process was successful; and when your paper is received and checked to see whether or not it is within standards, you will receive another e-mail. Should the paper be "out of standards", the author will be told so by e-mail and corrections can be made at: www.rborl.org.br/sgp.
The authors can follow their paper through the process at any time by means of the flow code automatically generated by the SGP, or by the paper's title. Important: Since the system automatically generates e-mails according to the stage your paper is in, it is mandatory that the author DISABLES SPAM FILTERS in his/her Internet Provider, or set up e-mail accounts to ACCEPT any message coming from RBORL.ORG.BR. In order to obtain information on how to setup your SPAM filter, contact your Internet provider.
Guidelines to write your manuscript
If you have a spreadsheet please convert it into a MS Word or Wordperfect Table and copy and paste it according to the 8th submis¦sion step. In case of graphs, please convert them into JPG image format.

BJORL asks authors to save their original files, should the
online submitted images have some printing impediment, we will
contact the author and ask for the originals.

Notice: Please keep your registration information (e-mail, address, etc.)
updated, since our communication with the authors is by email only.

For more information, please visit: http://www.bjorl.org.br/english/criteriaforelaboration.asp
