The Iberoamerican Journal of Hand Surgery (RICMA) is a scientifi c journal specialized in Surgery and Microsurgery of the Upper

Extremity.

RICMA is the o̦ cial expression body of the Spanish Society of Hand Surgery, and the scientifi c societies a̦ liated to the

journal are: the Argentine Association of Hand Surgery, the Brazilian Society of Hand Surgery, the Portuguese Hand Surgery

Society, The Venezuelan Society of Hand Surgery, the Chilean Society of Hand Surgery, the Mexican Association of Hand

Surgery and the Colombian Society of Hand Surgery.RICMA is published online twice a year, in May and November in Spanish and English.

The following types of articles are published: editorials, original articles, update articles, clinical cases, surgical techniques

and special articles. They may be related to any aspect of Upper Extremity Surgery and Microsurgery. RICMA accepts articles written in Spanish or English.

All papers will be evaluated by the editorial committee of the Journal after the evaluation of 2 external reviewers, who make

their assessments blindly.

RICMA supports and follows the policy of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of

Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Therefore, the manuscripts must follow the Uniformity Requirements for ICMJE

Manuscripts.The submitted articles should not have been published previously, or sent simultaneously to another scien-

tific publication.

If the article contains reproductions of texts, tables or fi gures from an already published source, the authors must obtain

written authorization from the copyright holder of the reproduced material.

Only clinical trials that have been registered and identified by a clinical trial registry validated by the criteria established

by the WHO and the ICMJE (the links to them are available on the ICMJE's website: http://www.icmje.org/) are accepted

for publication. The clinical trial identification number must be attached at the end of the abstract. If there are any

doubts about the editorial rules, the "Uniformity requirements for sending articles to biomedical journals" must be

consulted.

Peer Reviewing Process

The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process where neither author and reviewer does not get to know the identity

of each other.

At least two random reviewers based on their technical and clinical expertise are assigned by the Chief Editor on each manuscript.

The decision is taken based on the comparative reviews that the manuscript receives during the review process.

Video Submission (Fewer than 500 words)

The RICMA invites authors to submit a video for publication on the Journal's Web site. All videos will be subject to peer

review.

They should be up to 5 minutes in length, appropriately labeled with a voiceover. QuickTime or AVI formats are acceptable.

Authors who want their videos accessible in a streaming format must also provide either a single Sure-Stream fi le or

3 uniquely named single-rate clips (28.8, 56, T1) with a SMIL file to list the bandwidth choices. Video clips must meet

production quality standards without modifi cations or editing by the Editorial O̦ ce. The Journal can accept only video

submissions that meet the Journal's formatting and image quality requirements. The authors will be notifi ed if there are

any problems with submitted fi les and asked to resubmit modifi ed fi les. Image editing and correct formatting are the

author's responsibility.

The videos must be appropriately labeled and with a voice-over. We cannot accept isolated video clips or streaming opera-

tive footage. Each segment should be appropriately labeled and have transitions between video clips. Please see the at-

tached PowerPoint presentation on "Creating Images and Video for Publication" for practical tips on producing production-

quality fi gures and videos.

• Must contain a 500 word or less abstract, which will be published in the RICMA and Indexed in PubMed. Must use text

TEMPLATE for guide: (see below).

Abstract: Your Abstract must accompany the video and be structured with the following four sections and contain fewer

than 500 words. • Background • Video Description • Disclaimers of confl ict of interest • Acknowledgments General Guidelines For Digital Artwork Preparation

- Do not submit art created in Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. These fi les cannot be used by the typesetter.

- Save each fi gure in a separate fi le. - Do not compress fi les.

- All black-and-white and color artwork should be at a resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch) in TIFF format. Line art should be

1,200 dpi in EPS or TIFF format. Contact the Production Editor at Thieme if you are unsure of the fi nal size.

- It is preferable for fi gures to be cropped to their fi nal size (approximately 31⁄2 inches for a single column and up to 7 inches

for a double column), or larger, and in the correct orientation. If art is submitted smaller and then has to be enlarged, its

resolution (dpi) and clarity will decrease.

Note: Lower resolutions (less than 300 dpi) and JPEG format (.jpg extension) for grayscale and color artwork are strongly

discouraged due to the poor quality they yield in printing, which requires 300 dpi resolution for sharp, clear, detailed im-

ages. The JPEG format, by defi nition, is a lower resolution (compressed) format designed for quick upload on computer

screens.

Black-and-White Art

- Black-and-white artwork can be halftone (or grayscale) photographs, radiographs, drawings, line art, graphs, and fl ow-

charts. Thieme will only accept digital artwork.

- If possible, do not send color art for conversion to black-and-white. Do the conversion yourself so that you can check the

results and confi rm in advance that no critical details are lost or obscured by the change to black-and-white.

- For best results, line art should be black on a white background. Lines and type should be clean and evenly dark. Avoid

screens or cross-hatching, as they can darken or be uneven in printing, and lead to unacceptable printing quality.

Color Art

- All color artwork should be saved in CMYK, not RGB.

Art Labels

- Arrows, asterisks, and arrowheads (or other markers) should be white in dark or black areas and black in light or white

areas, and large. If not, these highlighting marks may become di̦ cult to see when fi gures are reduced in size during the

typesetting process. - Use 1-point (or thicker) rules and leader lines.

- Capitalize the fi rst word of each label and all proper nouns. Consider using all capitals if you need a higher level of labels.

- Where there are alternate terms or spellings for a named structure, use the most common one and make sure it is consist-

ent with what is used in the text.

- Avoid using multiple fonts and font sizes for the labels; use only one or two sizes of a serif font.

Submission Procedure

- Consult the checklist on the fi rst page of this document to ensure that you are ready to submit your manuscript.

- Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at the following link: http://www.editorialmanager.com/ricma

- Always review your manuscript before submitting it. You may stop a submission at any phase and save it to submit later.

After submission, you will receive a confi rmation email. You can also check the status of your manuscript by logging in to

the submission system. The Editor in Chief will inform you via email once a decision has been made.

Revision Procedure

- Should the editors decide that your article requires a revision, you will need to make the changes via a word-processing

software and resubmit it electronically. - Log in to the submission system and fi nd your article, which will be marked for revision.

- The best way to make revisions to your manuscript is by enabling the Track Changes mode in Microsoft Word, which will

automatically highlight and mark up revised text.

- Your original fi les will still be available after you upload your revised manuscript, so you should delete any redundant fi les

before completing the submission.

- You will also be provided space in which to respond to the reviewers and editors' comments. Please be as specifi c as pos-

sible in your response.

Production Procedure

Page Proofs

• Page proofs will be sent to you via email. The proofs will be in a PDF fi le format, which should be opened using the Acrobat

Reader software. You will receive further instructions with your proofs.

• Take this opportunity to check the typeset text for typographic and related errors. Elective alterations are di̦ cult to accom-

modate owing to the associated time and expense of introducing them. Therefore, please be sure that when you submit

your manuscript, it is accurate, complete, and fi nal.

Article O̵ prints

• You will be able to order o̥ prints of your article in advance of its publication. Details and prices will be sent to you along

with the page proofs. Upon publication, the corresponding author will receive a complimentary PDF fi le of their article.
