Manuscript submission via Editorial Manager
Authors should submit their manuscripts to the Journal of Anesthesia online. Please log in directly at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/joan/ and upload your manuscript following the instructions provided. Please use the Help option to see the most recently updated system requirements.
Author accounts
Authors entering the journal’s Editorial Manager site can either create a new account or use an existing one. If you have an existing account, use it for all your submissions; you can track their status on the same page.
If you have forgotten your username and password, please click the link “Send Username/Password” and enter your e-mail address. You will then receive an automatic e-mail with your username and password.
Getting started
Once you have logged into your account, Editorial Manager will lead you through the submission process in an orderly, step-by-step manner. If you cannot finish your submission in one session, you can save a draft and resume the process later at the same point for that manuscript.
While submitting your electronic manuscript, you will be required to enter data about it in the system. This includes the full title, author names and affiliations, and so forth, as listed below under Preparation of Manuscript. Support for special characters is available. At any point during this process, you can click on the Help button for answers to frequently asked questions.
Uploading files
Manuscript text: The manuscript text should be uploaded in rich text format (RTF) or as a Microsoft Word document (.doc).
Figures: Common graphic files such as GIF, JPEG, EPS, and TIFF are supported. Please submit figures in an electronic format according to Artwork Guidelines provided toward the end of this document. Figures should be uploaded separately from the manuscript text and figure legends.
Tables: Use the table functions of your word-processing program, not spreadsheets, to make tables. Tables may be uploaded separately from the manuscript text or inserted into it.
After the parts of the article have been uploaded in this manner, the system will convert the files to PDF format. You can view the result of the conversion with Adobe Acrobat Reader. You will also be notified by e-mail that your submission is successful.
At any point during this process, you can click on the Help button for answers to frequently asked questions.
If the total size of the files exceeds the maximum file volume(20 MB) for online submission, please reduce the resolution of large files for your initial submission. In this case, you may be requested to provide figures of sufficient quality for printing later if your manuscript is accepted for publication.
Keeping track
After submission, you may return periodically and monitor the progress of your submission throughout the review process.
Submission categories
Original articles present results of clinical and laboratory studies that are original, important, and relevant to anesthesiology.
Review articles may cover all areas of clinical, investigational, or basic science.
Special articles describe literature, education, societies, and other topics of interest related to history or current trends in anesthesiology.
Clinical reports are brief descriptions of clinical research or are case reports.
Short communications are brief descriptions of the results of laboratory research, or are reports on new research equipment or techniques. No more than two figures or tables may be included in Short Communications.
Letters to the editor are brief letters addressed to the Editor. Begin the article with “To the Editor:” Keywords should be limited to 70 letters including spaces and middle dots. One table or figure will be allowed, but more than one table or figure will be published as Electric Supplementary Material.
The absolute maximum is 1200 words, which must include the space for any table, figure, and references (this is approximately two sides of printed matter in the Journal). One table or figure is equivalent to approximately 400 words.
Book and multimedia reviews report current literature in anesthesiology.
Editorials are solicited by the editors. There is no limit to the numbers of figures and tables.
Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts (URM) Submitted to Biomedical Journals” at: http://www.icmje.org/
Japanese authors should use spelling conforming to Japan Medical Terminology compiled by the Japanese Association of Medical Sciences (JAMS) Committee on Medical Terminology.
Prerequisites for publication
A Certification Form, included in each issue and which also may be downloaded from the online submission website at: http//www.springer.com/journal/00540/
must be signed by all authors of the submitted article and be received by the Editorial Office prior to the start of the manuscript review process. As a scanned file (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG), the signed Certification Form should be uploaded via Editorial Manager at the time of online Submission.

Editorial policies
Originality: All manuscripts and materials are received with the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere in whole or in any significant part. With the exception of a scientific abstract, no substantial part of an article may have been published elsewhere.
Authors who have any question concerning what may constitute prior publication should submit the title page and abstract of previously published material with articles intended for publication in the Journal of Anesthesia.
Authorship: Manuscripts and all other materials are received with the understanding that each author listed has participated in the conception, design, execution, and/or analysis of data (as applicable), as well as in the writing of the manuscript.
The signatory to the Certification Form, namely the corresponding author, attests to the accuracy and validity of the contents of the manuscript and is listed as author or otherwise acknowledged for his or her contribution. Manuscripts and all other materials are received with the understanding that all authors listed have reviewed the submitted paper and have approved its submission for publication.
No editing by the author(s) is permitted once the manuscript is received at the Editorial Office.
Peer review process: Submitted manuscripts are reviewed with regard to their validity, originality, and significance. All manuscripts are initially assessed by the editors, and if they are judged suitable candidates for publishing, they are then reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers. In principle, the author will be advised within 8 weeks of the acceptance, rejection, or required revision of the manuscript.
All revisions will require a final editorial review, and resubmission does not guarantee acceptance of the revision.
After submission, authors can return periodically to the journal’s Editorial Manager site and monitor the progress of their submission throughout the review process.
Ethical concerns
Patient identification: Patients’ names, initials, hospital numbers, admission dates, and any other data that might identify patients are to be avoided in all materials. In addition, a patient must not be recognizable in any photograph or family tree, unless written permission of the subject or, in the case of minors, of parents is provided and included with the submission.
Human studies: Investigations on humans must be conducted in accordance with the current Declaration of Helsinki. No manuscript describing investigations carried out in humans will be accepted for publication unless the text states that the study (either prospective, retrospective, or a report of case series) was approved by research ethics committees of all the involved institutions, and that written informed consent (unless the ethics committees granted a waiver of it) was obtained from all subjects or, in the case of minors, from parents.
The Declaration of Helsinki issued in 2008 states that every clinical trial must be registered in a publicly accessible database before recruitment of the first subject.
The Journal of Anesthesia has decided that, as of April 1, 2013, it is mandatory for the authors to indicate a registration site and a registration number in the Methods section of all prospective clinical studies that started after April 1, 2009, in any part of the world.
For clinical studies carried out in Japan, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare states in the Ethical Guidelines for Clinical Research that clinical trials started after April 1, 2009, in Japan must be registered in one of the following databases (called Japan Primary Registries Network: JPRN), before recruitment of the first subject: (1) UMIN Clinical Trial Registry, (2) Clinical Trials Information (JapicCTI), or (3) Clinical Trial Registry.
Appropriate institutional review board (IRB) review and approval should accompany all studies involving human participants or research material derived from human participants. This information should be clearly stated in the Method section of the manuscript including the date of the IRB approval and duration of the trial/study. If the study was exempted from IRB approval, that information should be indicated in the Method section.
Animal studies: No manuscript describing investigations carried out in animals will be accepted for publication unless the text clearly states that the study was approved by animal research ethics committees. Although it is recognized that animal research ethical guidelines can vary between countries, the Journal of Anesthesia uses guidelines for proper conduct of animal experiments issued by both the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and also by the Science Council of Japan, and reserves the right to reject manuscripts according to our standards, even if the study has been approved by a local ethics committee.
For both human and animal studies, the authors must submit a copy of an approval document from the ethics committee and of written informed consent, when the editorial office or a reviewer requires.
Conflict-of-interest policy
The author must indicate all sources of funding supporting the submitted work. This requirement includes any corporate or institutional funding sources.
Sources of funding and any other explanatory information regarding conflict of interest (COI) for the article should be disclosed when submitting the manuscript via Editorial Manager. Only in exceptional cases does the journal consider COI in the peer-review process. However, the COI may be disclosed in published articles at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
COI Form (Download doc, 60 kB)
Manuscript format
All manuscripts must be written in English. Manuscripts should be written in American English, not in British English.
The abstract, the manuscript text, references, tables, and figure legends must be typed double-spaced with wide margins in A4-size or U.S. letter-size format. Incomplete or improperly prepared manuscripts will be returned to authors without review.
Each of the following sections must begin on a new page: title page, abstract, manuscript text, references, tables, figure legends, and figures. Pages must be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page, in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
Standard abbreviations should be used. Abbreviations must be defined in the abstract, at first mention in the manuscript text, and on first occurrence in tables and figure legends. The use of abbreviations in titles and headings should be avoided.
Authors whose native language is not English are required to seek the assistance of language services or of a colleague who is a native English speaker and is familiar with the field of work before the submission.

Title page (page 1): All submissions must include a title page. The title page should contain a brief and specific title and the full names and academic affiliations of all authors. The corresponding author should be specified, with full mailing address, a fax number, and an e-mail address. The title page should include 3–5 key words, and the word count (letter count for Letter to the Editor) of the manuscript, the number of tables, and the number of figures should be indicated.
Abstract: For Original articles, a structured abstract with the headings Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusion should be provided. The abstract should consist of no more than 250 words and should include only the most essential data, along with the statistical significance, if available. New and important aspects of the study should be emphasized.
For Review articles, Special articles, Clinical reports, and Short communications, a nonstructured abstract consisting of one complete paragraph in no more than 200 words is required. Letters to the editor, Book and multimedia reviews and Editorials do not require an abstract.
Manuscript text: The manuscript text of Original articles should be divided into the following sections. (Short communications should not include subdivisions such as Methods, Results, etc.)
Introduction: The introduction should provide a concise account of the background and purpose of the study, containing only the most pertinent references, not an extensive literature review.
Methods: This section should describe clearly the selection criteria for subjects of observations or experiments. The methods and apparatus used must be described in sufficient detail to allow the investigation to be interpreted and repeated. All technical apparatus, including computer software, must be identified in parentheses with brand name, manufacturer’s name, and city and country of manufacture (if U.S.A., both city and state). Complete references must be provided for all established scientific methods and medical procedures, and any lesser-known methods should be described briefly. All drugs and chemicals used must be identified, specifying dosage and routes of administration. Generic names for drugs are preferable; if a brand name is used, it should be inserted in parentheses after the generic name. The standard units for length, mass, and volume are meter, kilogram, and liter, respectively. Concentrations must be expressed in molar or equivalent units (e.g., moles per liter). The standard units for reporting pressure are either mmHg or cmH2O. Virgules should be used in expressions such as “ml/kg/min”; the format “ml•kg-1•min-1” should not be used.
All statistical methods used must be identified and, if applicable, referenced.
Authors have final responsibility for confirming that all symbols and expressions containing superscripts or subscripts, e.g., “PaO2”, have been correctly typeset as intended.
Results: Results should appear in logical sequence in the manuscript text, tables, and figures. Data should not be repeated unnecessarily. Emphasis should be placed only on important observations. Statistical significance should be given as values of probability.
Discussion: New and important aspects of the study should be emphasized, with no repetition of detailed data given in the Results section. The discussion should elaborate upon the implications of the findings and their limitations and should compare these implications and limitations with those reported in other studies. All conclusions should be justifiable by the results of the study.
Acknowledgments: Acknowledgment of individuals who assisted in the study or with manuscript preparation, including statistical review, should appear between the text and the references.
References: Reference citations in the manuscript text must be enclosed in brackets, e.g., [1–7], [8], [2, 5–9], and must be numbered consecutively in the order cited. Accuracy of reference data is the authors’ responsibility. References should be restricted to those that have direct bearing on the work described.
Articles published without peer review, including material appearing in programs of meetings or in organizational publications, should not be included in the references.
Any references to published abstracts must be less than five years old. All abstracts included in the references must be written in English. Abstracts in Japanese and other non-English languages cannot be listed as references. Manuscripts submitted for publication are not acceptable as references, but manuscripts accepted for publication may be included in the reference list and should be marked “in press.” Personal communications and unpublished data should be cited in parentheses in the manuscript text. If a citation of this kind is from someone other than the authors, a letter must be submitted in which the direct quotation is given with the author’s signature. Sites on the World Wide Web (URLs) may not be used as references.
The journal uses the Vancouver style for references. Each journal reference should consist of the names of all authors (do not use “et al.” ), title of article, journal name abbreviated according to Index Medicus, year of publication, volume number, and inclusive page numbers. For references published in Japanese with an English abstract, follow example 2 below.
