    1. What do we publish?

    1.1 Aims & Scope

    Before submitting your manuscript to Interventional Neuroradiology, please ensure you have read the Aims & Scope

    1.2 Article Types

    Original Research Articles are full-length research papers, which are favored by Interventional Neuroradiology. Articles cover topics relevant to clinical studies and may include both basic science, experimental and clinical research. The word count should be limited to 4000 words (in the text excluding references and figure legends) and 40 references. If the article requires space beyond the word limit, justification should be included in the cover letter.

    Review Articles are comprehensive, state-of-the-art papers focusing on important clinical problems and should address a specific topic in a scholarly manner. Such articles may be invited by the Editor or may be unsolicited reviews. The word count should be limited to 6000 words (in the text excluding references and figure legends) and 80 references. 

    New Devices and Technology Original articles detailing clinical and pre-clinical research of new devices and technological advancements are encouraged. These articles can be up to 4000 words with 40 references and and 8 images. Clinical articles should provide a balanced insight into the advantages and disadvantages of any new devices or technologies and consider the broader context. 

    Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis Articles are comprehensive and should address the available evidence on a very specific topic in an accepted manner. If the topic has been addressed by previous such articles recently or no new significant samples are added to the analysis, then the articles will likely be rejected. The word count should be limited to 4000 words with no limit on the number of references.

    Case Reports/Technical Notes.  Interventional Neuroradiology preferentially encourages submission of full-length Original Research Articles, therefore the Journal will not routinely accept case reports. These will only be accepted if exceptionally rare or clinically relevant and showcase an educational aspect, and may be desk rejected by the Editor-in-Chief without review. 

    Editorials are usually invited by the Editor.

    Editorial Comments are specific comments on the articles published in Interventional Neuroradiology and are usually invited by the Editor.

    Letters to the Editor contain constructive comments or criticism of a specific paper published by Interventional Neuroradiology. Letters dealing with subjects of general interest within the field of interventional neuroradiology, or personal opinions on a specific subject within the ambit of Interventional Neuroradiology, may also be accepted. Letters to the editor should be limited to 1200 words and 10 references.

    Original Research Articles and Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis articles should include an abstract with the subheadings: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions and should not be more than 300 words in length.

    Figure legends should not exceed 300 words per figure.

    Technical Videos The goal of the Technical Video section is to help inform the neurointerventional community of new treatment modalities, treatment techniques, novel devices, and unusual complications and complication management. This section is intended to replace case reports.  Videos should be 3-6 minutes in length and illustrate one or two cases.  Videos should be narrated and primarily consist of live fluoroscopic images or surgical videos.

    Technical videos should be accompanied by a 150 word abstract.  References can be included with the abstract.  The abstract will be published in the print version with associated citations.  Up to 5 references can be included, also on the last slide of the video.  Video quality should be 720p or higher and submitted as either an MP4, AVI or MOV file type.

    When submitting your video to Sage Track, please select the ‘Technical Video’ article type and upload your video file under the ‘Main Document’ file designation. All other content, such as abstract and transcript, should be uploaded as supplementary information.

    1.3 Writing your paper

    The Sage Author Gateway has some general advice and on how to get published, plus links to further resources.

    1.3.1 Make your article discoverable

    When writing up your paper, think about how you can make it discoverable. The title, keywords and abstract are key to ensuring readers find your article through search engines such as Google. For information and guidance on how best to title your article, write your abstract and select your keywords, have a look at this page on the Gateway: How to Help Readers Find Your Article Online.

    2. Editorial policies

    2.1 Peer review policy

    Interventional Neuroradiology adheres to a double-anonymize reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Papers are accepted on the understanding that they are subject to peer review, editorial revision, and, in some cases, comment by the Editors. Manuscripts are examined by independent peer reviewers. Articles and other material published in the Journal represent the opinions of the authors and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the publisher.

    2.2 Authorship

    Papers should only be submitted for consideration once consent is given by all contributing authors. Those submitting papers should carefully check that all those whose work contributed to the paper are acknowledged as contributing authors.

    The list of authors should include all those who can legitimately claim authorship. This is all those who:

    1. Made a substantial contribution to the concept or design of the work; or acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data,
    2. Drafted the article or revised it critically for important intellectual content,
    3. Approved the version to be published,
    4. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.

    Authors should meet the conditions of all of the points above. When a large, multicentre group has conducted the work, the group should identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship.

    Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone does not constitute authorship, although all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgments section. Please refer to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship guidelines for more information on authorship.

    Please note that AI chatbots, for example ChatGPT, should not be listed as authors. For more information see the policy on Use of ChatGPT and generative AI tools.

    2.3 Acknowledgements

    All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.

    Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.

    2.3.1 Third party submissions
    Where an individual who is not listed as an author submits a manuscript on behalf of the author(s), a statement must be included in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript and in the accompanying cover letter. The statements must:

    • Disclose this type of editorial assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input
    • Identify any entities that paid for this assistance
    • Confirm that the listed authors have authorized the submission of their manuscript via third party and approved any statements or declarations, e.g. conflicting interests, funding, etc.

    Where appropriate, Sage reserves the right to deny consideration to manuscripts submitted by a third party rather than by the authors themselves.

    2.3.2 Writing assistance

    Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communications company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance. It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.

    2.4 Funding

    Interventional Neuroradiology requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading.  Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the Sage Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. 

    2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests

    It is the policy of Interventional Neuroradiology to require a declaration of conflicting interests from all authors enabling a statement to be carried within the paginated pages of all published articles.

    Please ensure that a ‘Declaration of Conflicting Interests’ statement is included at the end of your manuscript, after any acknowledgements and prior to the references. If no conflict exists, please state that ‘The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest’. For guidance on conflict of interest statements, please see the ICMJE recommendations here.

    2.6 Research ethics and patient consent

    Medical research involving human subjects must be conducted according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. Consent and permissions obtained for publishing in Interventional Neuroradiology must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning privacy and/or security of personal information. This is the responsibility of the author.

    Submitted manuscripts should conform to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, and all papers reporting animal and/or human studies must state in the methods section that the relevant Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board provided (or waived) approval. Please ensure that you have provided the full name and institution of the review committee, in addition to the approval number. This should be documented in the cover letter and title page. In the interest of providing an unbiased review process, please do NOT include the details of the ethics board or IRB in the main manuscript.

    For research articles, authors are also required to state in the methods section whether participants provided informed consent and whether the consent was written or verbal.

    Information on informed consent to report individual cases or case series should be included in the manuscript text. A statement is required regarding whether written informed consent for patient information and images to be published was provided by the patient(s) or a legally authorized representative.

    Please also refer to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Protection of Research Participants.

    All research involving animals submitted for publication must be approved by an ethics committee with oversight of the facility in which the studies were conducted. The Journal has adopted the ARRIVE guidelines.

    2.7 Clinical trials

    Interventional Neuroradiology endorses the ICMJE requirement that clinical trials are registered in a WHO-approved public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrolment. However, consistent with the AllTrials campaign, retrospectively registered trials will be considered if the justification for late registration is acceptable. The trial registry name and URL, and registration number must be included at the end of the abstract.

    2.8 Reporting guidelines

    The relevant EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines should be followed depending on the type of study. For example, all randomized controlled trials submitted for publication should include a completed CONSORT flow chart as a cited figure and the completed CONSORT checklist should be uploaded with your submission as a supplementary file. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses should include the completed PRISMA flow chart as a cited figure and the completed PRISMA checklist should be uploaded with your submission as a supplementary file. The EQUATOR wizard can help you identify the appropriate guideline.

    Other resources can be found at NLM’s Research Reporting Guidelines and Initiatives.

    2.9 Data

    Sage acknowledges the importance of research data availability as an integral part of the research and verification process for academic journal articles.

    Interventional Neuroradiology requests all authors submitting any primary data used in their research articles alongside their article submissions to be published in the online version of the journal, or provide detailed information in their articles on how the data can be obtained. This information should include links to third-party data repositories or detailed contact information for third-party data sources. Data available only on an author-maintained website will need to be loaded onto either the journal’s platform or a third-party platform to ensure continuing accessibility. Examples of data types include but are not limited to statistical data files, replication code, text files, audio files, images, videos, appendices, and additional charts and graphs necessary to understand the original research. The editor may consider limited embargoes on proprietary data. The editor can also grant exceptions for data that cannot legally or ethically be released. All data submitted should comply with Institutional or Ethical Review Board requirements and applicable government regulations. For further information, please contact the editorial office at komiyama@japan-mail.com.

    3. Publishing Policies

    3.1 Publication ethics

    Sage is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics’ International Standards for Authors and view the Publication Ethics page on the Sage Author Gateway.

    3.1.1 Plagiarism

    Interventional Neuroradiology and Sage take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article; taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; or taking appropriate legal action.

    3.1.2 Prior publication

    If material has been previously published it is not generally acceptable for publication in a Sage journal. However, there are certain circumstances where previously published material can be considered for publication. Please refer to the guidance on the Sage Author Gateway or if in doubt, contact the Editor at the address given below.

    3.2 Contributor's publishing agreement

    Before publication, Sage requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. Sage’s Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants Sage the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than Sage. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information please visit the Sage Author Gateway.

    3.3 Open access and author archiving

    Interventional Neuroradiology offers optional open access publishing via the Sage Choice programme and Open Access agreements, where authors can publish open access either discounted or free of charge depending on the agreement with Sage. Find out if your institution is participating by visiting Open Access Agreements at Sage. For more information on Open Access publishing options at Sage please visit Sage Open Access. For information on funding body compliance, and depositing your article in repositories, please visit Sage’s Author Archiving and Re-Use Guidelines and Publishing Policies.

    4. Preparing your manuscript for submission

    4.1 Formatting

    The entire manuscript text should be formatted using12 point Helvetica or Times New Roman fonts.

    The preferred format for your manuscript is Word. LaTeX files are also accepted. Word and (La)Tex templates are available on the Manuscript Submission Guidelines page of our Author Gateway.

    4.2 Artwork, figures and other graphics

    For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures and graphs in electronic format, please visit Sage’s Manuscript Submission Guidelines.

    Figures should be submitted online in .tiff format to: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/in. The time required to send files will vary depending on the number of figures, but image resolution must not be reduced to decrease transmission time. When labeling the figures, please ensure that the label corresponds to the figure number.  Digital images (originals or images acquired by a scanner) must meet the following criteria:

    1. Quality of Images should be sufficient
      1. Black-and-white figures: Images must be acquired using the grey scale with a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch or 150 pixels per cm. Images must have a base of at least 8.1 cm for one item or a minimum base of 16.9 cm for several items.
      2. Color figures: Images must be acquired using the full color CMYK method with a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch or 150 pixels per cm. Images must have a base of at least 8.1 cm for one item or a minimum base of 16.9 cm for several items. The RGB method is recommended for video reproductions only, as the quality of printed figures is poor.
         
    2. Anonymity of images: Patient information and all identification marks on the images should be removed where possible.

    3. Orientation of images:  All images should be orientated in a similar fashion where possible. On the lateral film, the nose should be facing on the left side. Both an Anterior-posterior image and the corresponding lateral view should be provided where possible. 

    4. Figures must contain arrows, numbers, etc to identify them and link them to description in the legend. No additional clean copy without arrows, numbers etc. is required

    All figures must be accompanied with citations.

    Figures supplied in colour will appear in colour online regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For specifically requested colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Sage after receipt of your accepted article.

    Images in .jpg format are not acceptable as details tend to be lost upon scanning, even at high resolution. Image definition also depends on the enlargement factor. Thus, a large low-resolution image can be proportionally reduced (by 24%) for publication, thereby permitting optimal presentation in print. However, enlargement of a small high-resolution image will highlight all flaws, yielding a pixelated effect. Do not submit figures already paged in Word, PowerPoint, or other documents, or images inserted in web pages. Such images are of low resolution and are unsuitable for printing.

    Figures in .dcm (Dicom) format may be submitted as .dcm or .tiff files. The editorial office will process such images for printing. Illustrations may be compressed using the StuffIt, Aladdin, or Zip programs.

    Authors are advised to refer to the Journal guidelines when formatting their work. Otherwise the editorial office may return a submission to the authors for improvement before any Editor is assigned.
    Provide figure legends on a separate sheet. Legends must be double-spaced, and figures must be numbered in the order cited in the text.

    4.3 Supplementary material

    This journal is able to host additional materials online (e.g. datasets, podcasts, videos, images etc) alongside the full-text of the article. For more information please refer to our guidelines on submitting supplementary files.

    4.4 Reference style

    Interventional Neuroradiology adheres to the Sage Vancouver reference style. View the Sage Vancouver guidelines to ensure your manuscript conforms to this reference style.

    References should be cited as a superscripted number after any punctuation mark. Up to 3 authors should be listed, if there are more than 3, they should be replaced with an “et al.”
