European Journal of Plastic Surgery

期刊简介：Europe has always been an area of dynamic development in plastic surgery. Its great strength has been the lack of uniformity of this development due to differing cultures, different traditions, and differing medical and surgical philosophies. Over the recent years, these changes have been even more striking and rapid. The European Journal of Plastic Surgery creates a focal point for the input of new advances in clinical techniques and in research. It thus becomes an educational vehicle. In addition to this, the journal provides information on what is going on elsewhere in the world, and it is also willing to accept contributions from outside of Europe. Fields of interest include general plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, aesthetic and craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, treatment of bones, trauma, burn management and basic research related to all aspects of plastic surgery.Submitted articles are first evaluated by the Editor in Chief and if judged appropriate, are peer-reviewed by at least two selected experts. Reviewers may be plastic surgeons or other surgical/ medical specialists with expertise in specific areas of research. Manuscripts provisionally accepted for publication may be returned to the author for corrections or clarifications, in response to suggestions by the Editorial Board or external reviewers, prior to final acceptance.  Online submission and peer review for rapid online publication are offered through the Editorial Manager System. The system creates a PDF version of the submitted article for peer review, revision and proofing. All correspondence, including the request for revisions and final decision, is managed by e-mail. Authors are guided step by step through the full process and are kept up to date on the article’s progress at every stage.  Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.Reports of animal experiments must state that the 'Principles of laboratory animal care' (NIH publication No. 86-23, revised in 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.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. Authors are also required to disclose any relationships with public or private commercial or noncommercial entities, any institutional affiliations, or any personal associations that might pose a conflict of interest.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 for failure to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements.

【译文】欧洲一直是整形外科动态发展的区域。其强大的优势在于由于不同的文化、不同的传统以及不同的医疗和外科哲学，这种发展缺乏统一性。近年来，这些变化更加显著和迅速。欧洲整形外科杂志为临床技术和研究的新进展提供了一个焦点，因此成为了一个教育工具。此外，该杂志还提供关于世界各地发生的事情的信息，并且愿意接受来自欧洲以外的贡献。感兴趣领域包括普通整形和重建外科、头颈外科、美容和颅面外科、手外科、显微外科、骨骼治疗、创伤、烧伤管理和与整形外科所有方面相关的基础研究。提交的文章首先由主编评估，如果认为合适，将由至少两位选定的专家进行同行评审。审稿人可能是整形外科医生或其他在特定研究领域具有专业知识的手术/医学专家。初步接受发表的手稿可能需要根据编辑委员会或外部审稿人的建议进行修改或澄清，然后再最终接受。通过编辑管理系统提供在线提交和同行评审，以实现快速在线出版。该系统为同行评审、修订和校对创建了提交文章的PDF版本。所有通信，包括修订请求和最终决定，都通过电子邮件管理。作者将逐步通过整个流程，并在每个阶段都了解文章的进展。提交出版的手稿必须包含一份声明，说明所有人类研究都已由适当的伦理委员会审查，因此已按照1964年赫尔辛基宣言的适当版本中规定的伦理标准进行。在文本中还应明确说明，所有受试者在被纳入研究之前都提供了知情同意。可能泄露受试者身份的细节应予以省略。动物实验报告必须声明遵循了“实验室动物护理原则”（NIH出版物No. 86-23，1985年修订），以及适用的具体国家法律（例如，德国动物保护法的当前版本）。对人员、拨款、资金等的致谢应放在参考文献列表之前的单独部分。资助组织的名称应全部写出。作者还必须披露与公共或私人商业或非商业实体、任何机构隶属关系或可能产生利益冲突的任何个人关系。编辑保留拒绝不符合上述要求的稿件的权利。作者将因虚假陈述或未能履行上述要求而承担责任。
