Author Guidelines

1. SUBMISSION

Authors should note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.

Submissions must be made online through ScholarOne by logging in on the homepage: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/anzjog

Paper manuscripts and email submissions are not accepted.

Manuscripts that do not adhere to the Author Guidelines will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision.

For help with submissions, please contact:

Kate Edmonds, Editorial Office Manager, anzjog.eo@wiley.com

Data protection:

By submitting a manuscript to or reviewing for this publication, your name, email address, and affiliation, and other contact details the publication might require, will be used for the regular operations of the publication, including, when necessary, sharing with the publisher (Wiley) and partners for production and publication. The publication and the publisher recognise the importance of protecting the personal information collected from users in the operation of these services and have practices in place to ensure that steps are taken to maintain the security, integrity, and privacy of the personal data collected and processed. You can learn more here.

Preprint policy:

ANZJOG will consider for review articles previously available as preprints. You may also post the submitted version of a manuscript to a preprint server at any time.

If the submitted version of the manuscript was posted to a preprint server, the submitting author will be required to indicate this during the submission process and provide the preprint DOI (or URL if no DOI was issued). This information must also be included in the Acknowledgements statement.

You are requested to update any pre-publication versions with a link to the final published article.

2. AIMS AND SCOPE

The Australia and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ANZJOG) is an editorially independent publication owned by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG).

ANZJOG aims to provide a medium for the publication of original contributions to clinical practice and/or research in all fields of obstetrics and gynaecology and related disciplines.

3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS

ANZJOG publishes Current Controversies, Editorials, Letters to the Editor, Opinions, Original Manuscripts, Position Papers, Reviews and Short Communications. From 2019 ANZJOG will also publish RANZCOG College Statements (in the e-pages of the journal).

Occasionally abstracts from the RANZCOG Annual Scientific Meeting, or meetings of relevant special interest groups, will be published where the accepted abstracts have undergone a suitable peer review acceptance process.

Please be aware that additional requirements for every manuscript type are provided in ‘Section 4. Preparing the Submission’ below and must be observed.

Original Articles. Original Articles present new insights into the fields of obstetrics, gynaecology or a related discipline. These manuscripts should:

     i. Not exceed 2500 words in length (excluding the abstract, reference list and tables)

     ii. Be structed under the following headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion,            References (with appropriate subheadings at the author’s discretion)

          a. Concluding statements should be incorporated into the Discussion with no separate Conclusion

     iii. Include an abstract of not more than 250 words, structured under the following subheadings: Background / Aims / Materials and Methods / Results / Conclusions

     iv. Include five MeSH keywords

     v. Contain no more than a total of four tables or figures

     vi. Cite not more than 30 references

Original Manuscripts that report a clinical trial must additionally:

Include the following randomised controlled trial (RCT) information as provided by a public clinical trials registry (eg. www.anzctr.org.au and www.clinicaltrials.gov), in both the Abstract and Materials and Methods section of the manuscript:

i. Trial registration number

ii. URL for the registered trial

iii. Name of the clinical trial registry

iv. Date the trail was registered

v. Date recruitment for the study commenced

          a. Registration with a public clinical trials registry should be completed prior to participant recruitment commencing

 vi. Be written (main manuscript and abstract) in accordance with the CONSORT Statement, including submission of a completed:

          a. CONSORT Checklist

          b. CONSORT Flow Diagram

Please note: ANZJOG’s emphasis is on human clinical studies rather than animal research. Very few articles pertaining only to animal research are published in the journal.  Authors submitting material based on animal research are advised to provide clear linkage to the clinical implications of their data in the Introduction and/or Discussion.

Registered Reports. A new form of empirical article in which the Protocol (methods and proposed analyses) are pre-submitted and reviewed prior to the research being conducted. Registered Reports are submitted and published in two parts; acceptance and publication of the Protocol (Part 1) presupposes eventual submission, review, and publication of the Full Manuscript (Part 2). Authors should carefully read the Registered Reports for ANZJOG: A Guide for Authors for full details.

Reviews. The journal publishes high-quality review material covering both research and practice. Reviews are usually by invitation of the editorial board, but suggestions are welcomed. These manuscripts are considered in two categories:

      i. Systematic reviews. Systematic reviews will be considered as Original Manuscripts. Authors should consider PRISMA Statement. These manuscripts should:
