The Editor of BJUI welcomes original contributions on topics of interest and importance to urologists, whether written by urologists, nephrologists, radiologists, nurses or basic scientists. We are able to offer fast publication and encourage colour illustrations wherever appropriate.
EDITORIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Submission and Peer-review
Submissions are considered on the conditions that they are previously unpublished, and are not offered simultaneously elsewhere; that all authors have read and approved the content; that all authors have declared all competing interests; and that the work complies with the Ethical Policies of the Journal, and has been conducted under internationally accepted ethical standards after relevant ethical review. It is imperative that authors read this policy and complete any necessary documentation prior to your submission. When submitting a manuscript it is with the understanding that the manuscript (or its essential substance) has not been published other than as an abstract in any language or format and has not been submitted elsewhere for consideration for print or electronic publication.
This journal employs a plagiarism detection system. By submitting your manuscript to this journal you accept that your manuscript may be screened for plagiarism against previously published works.
The journal operates a stringent peer review process. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Editors, members of the Editorial Board, or other expert reviewers. At the discretion of the Editors, a manuscript may be returned immediately without full review, if deemed not competitive (for originality and quality) or outside the realm of interests of the majority of the readership of the Journal. Any statistical analyses will be assessed by a statistician. The decision (reject, revision, accept) letter will be conveyed through BJUI ScholarOne Manuscripts, coming directly from the Associate Editor who has assumed responsibility for the manuscript's review. If revision is requested, whether major or minor, the revised manuscript must be returned within two months. If it is not submitted within this time frame, it will be treated as a new submission and may be sent out for review to different reviewers. Editorial decisions are based not just on technical merit of the work, but also on other factors such as the priority for publication and the relevance to the Journal's general readership. All papers are judged in relation to other submissions currently under consideration. Acceptance of papers is based on the originality of the observation or investigation; the quality of the work described; the clarity of presentation; and the relevance to our readership. Rebuttals to rejected manuscripts are strongly discouraged and requests for resubmission of rejected manuscripts are generally not granted.
Publication Ethics
BJUI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics and subscribes to its recommendations (Committee on Publication Ethics [COPE]: guidelines on good publication practice, www.publicationethics.org.uk). Best Practice Guidelines on Publication Ethics are also available from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/publicationethics/ (Graf C, Wager E, Bowman A, et al., Int J Clin Pract 2007; 61 [suppl 152]: 126). The Editors reserve the right to reject a paper on ethical grounds. All authors are responsible for adhering to guidelines on good publication practice.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
ARTICLE CATEGORIES
Original articles will be published under the headings below, and authors will be asked to indicate their preferred category upon submission: Urological Oncology; Robotics and Laparoscopy; Upper Urinary Tract; Functional Urology; Sexual Medicine; Paediatrics; Translational Science.

Translational Science Section
The Editor and Associate Editors of the Translational Science section of BJUI are committed to publishing the highest quality scientific and translational papers following peer-review. To help authors pre-review their potential papers we recommend that you consider the following criteria:
1. High priority will be given to:
- translational studies with appropriate rationale and selection of in vitro and in vivo models
- papers with an insight into the mechanisms of action of initial observations.
2. Lower priority will be given to studies that:
- are observational with no information relevant to disease pathogenesis or mechanisms of action
- only use one cell line or model system - are largely confirmatory in a well-established body of research
- are not supported by robust and appropriate statistical analysis.
Surgical Education Original articles on topics including simulation, health services research, leadership and other non-technical skills.
Step-by-Step Brief articles (no more than one printed page) describing a surgical procedure in a series of clear steps, to accompany a high quality narrated surgical video, of up to 3 minutes length, which describes the technique in clear steps.
Letters Letters to the Editor are being phased out of the main BJUI journal, but we will continue to publish them on the BJUI website as an important part of the scientific debate.
Letters to the editor will now published in electronic form on the journal website (www.bjui.org), not in the journal itself. As such, letters are not submitted to PubMed for indexing.
Letters to the editor should be 500 words or less, preference is given to concise letters.
Writers are limited to one letter published on the website per month.
Letters must include full author contact details.
All letters will be peer-reviewed, and we reserve the right to reject letters, or to edit them if they are accepted.
If accepted, letters are sent to the authors of the paper being discussed, to give them the chance to make a response that will (if accepted) be published at the same time as the letter.
Letters will not be open for public comment; replies must be submitted to the Editorial Officefor review.
FORMAT
All manuscripts should start with a title page detailing: (1) the title of the article, (2) initials and names of each author, and (3) the name(s) of their institution(s). Correspondence during submission will be with the submitting author. All authors should be listed with their institutions on the title page of the manuscript. A correct e-mail address for all authors is essential. A covering letter should be included with the submission and should confirm that the paper has not been submitted elsewhere.
References
These should conform to the Vancouver style. The references in the text should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear and indicated by Arabic numerals in parentheses, e.g. [1]. If there are six or fewer authors, all should be listed. If there are more than six, then the first three should be listed followed by et al.
Examples:
1. Hall SA, Link CL, Hu JC, Eggers PW, McKinlay JB. Drug treatment of urological symptoms: esitmating the magnitude of unmet need in a community-based sample. BJU Int. 2009 104(11):160-8.
2. Wright FS, Howards SS. Obsctructive injury. In Bremner BM, Rector FC eds, The Kidney, 2nd edn, Vol.II. Chapt 38. Philadelphia: Saunders, 1981: 2009-44.
- References to unpublished work, including papers in preparation, should be kept to a minimum and should be mentioned in parentheses in the text as unpublished work, not in the reference list. The names of all contributors to the work should be given. - Unpublished observations, personal communications and abstracts published only in proceedings of meetings should be quoted within the text of the manuscript, in parentheses. Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as unpublished observations.
Illustrations
Where possible, please provide high quality digital artwork files (seehttp://authorservices.wiley.com/prep_illust.asp). Magnification should be given with a scale bar or in the legend; magnification values in caption should be correct for enlgargement/ reduction of the illustration. Figures or tables reproduced from a published work must have the original source quoted and the permission of the copyright holder. Colour figures may be submitted and will be published free of charge. All histological illustrations should be supplied in colour. Authors wishing any submitted material (e.g. slides) to be returned should clearly identify as such.
Units/ Abbreviations
Authors should follow the SI system if units (except for blood pressure which will be continued to be expressed in mmHg) (Grange RI. BJU. 1996; 78:961-63). Numbers are written in full to nine; numerals are used from 10 upwards. Authors should limit their use of abbreviations and they should be used consistently throughout the text (see Abbreviations list at the end of each issue).
VIDEOS
Submission Videos may only be submitted to accompany a manuscript, videos received without a manuscript submission will not be considered. If your article includes a video/s, please state this in your covering letter. Ideally, videos should be uploaded when you submit your manuscript, and designated as a 'Supplementary File'. If this is not possible, or if a video is produced after your manuscript is accepted, please contact the Editorial Office to arrange to share the video file/s with us using Dropbox or FTP transfer. It is recommended that you submit two videos, a long and a short version. The short version should be no more than 2 minutes long focussing on the main procedure, if surgery related.
Formats/ file types We will accept digital files in MPG4, MP4, MOV and WMV formats. Combined files of a manuscript, including video, tables, figures and text must not exceed 100MB.
Content Contributors are asked to be succinct, and the Editors reserve the right to require shorter video duration. Legends for the video segments should be placed at the end of the article. The video should be high quality (both in content and visibility). The video should make a specific point; particularly, it should demonstrate the features described in the text of the manuscript. In addition, the content of the video sequence should directly follow the content of the video legend.The content of the video should not display overt product advertising. Educational presentations are encouraged.
Patient Consent The corresponding author must confirm in the Exclusive Licence Agreement (ELA) that he or she has received a signed release form from each patient videotaped authorizing the offline and/or online distribution of this video material. Videos will not be sent out for review until the signed ELA has been received. Ideally patients should not be identifiable from the video.
Publication The video will be hosted on BJUI.org the same day as the manuscript is published. A reference link to the video will be provided.
The Editors reserve the right to request additional video editing by the authors (which may delay publication) and to edit video submissions prior to posting and/or distribution, including the insertion of a voice-over by the Editor.
