Submission of a manuscript implies that the work has not been published before,

publication has been approved by all co-authors as well as by the responsible
authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out. For the
declaration of these details the publishers 'Author agreement' form have to be

for compensation.
Authors wishing to include
figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere
are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include
evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers.
Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to be originated
from the authors.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the
above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false
statements or failure to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements.
Conflicts of Interest; authors
must indicate whether or not they have a financial relationship with the
organization that sponsored the research. This note should be added in a
separate section before the reference list. If no conflict exists, authors
should state: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
Manuscript Submission and
Preparation
The Progress in Orthopedic Science accepts manuscripts electronically through http://www.porthosci.com/manuscript or as a email attachment to orthopedics@pothosci.online
Title Page: the title page should include a concise and informative name for the article accompanied by a short title to used as running head, full name(s) and affiliations of all author(s) and standard mailing plus e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author(s).
Abstract: following the title
page, a summary of the entire article should be outlined in subsections as
follows; a statement of the work's purpose in 'objective', followed by a brief
description of the study's design in 'methods' and a clear declaration of the
'results', and finally, a concise presentation of the 'conclusions' have to be
given.
For review articles, the abstract should be separated into 2 to 4 paragraphs
including an introductory viewpoint, information and discussion around the main
theme and final considerations, without specifically named subheadings. The
abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified
references and should not exceed 300 words.
Keywords: 3 to 6 keywords have
to be used for indexing purposes. The keywords may be placed on the title page
or under the abstract.
Text formatting: manuscripts
should be submitted in MS Word format. The authors are suggested to use double
spaced 12-point Times New Roman letters with 2.5 cm margins on A4 pages (or 1
inch margins on Letter sheets).
Beginning with the title page, please use the automatic page numbering function
to number the pages and do not use field functions. Use tab stops or other
commands for indents, not the space bar. Use the table function, not
spreadsheets, to make tables.
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently
thereafter. If the article includes an excessive number of abbreviations, the
authors should additionally add a list for all abbreviations used.
Generic names of drugs and chemicals are preferred; if trade names are used,
the generic name should be given at least at first mention. In so for as
possible, authors should use systematic names similar to those used by Chemical
Abstract Service or IUPAC.
The text must be sectioned and ordered as 'Introduction', '(Materials and)
Methods', 'Results', 'Discussion', 'Acknowledgments' (if any) and 'References'.
A gathered 'Results and Discussion' section should be avoided. Each section
should begin on a separate page. The discussion should end with one or more
concluding paragraphs without a separate heading.
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be placed in a separate
section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be
written in full.
Reference citing and styling:
please cite references with Arabic numbers in squared parentheses and list them
by the order in which they appear in the text.
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and
that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications
and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. All authors names
(without et al) of the cited work have to listed in references.
