World Journal of Urology

Aims & Scope

The WORLD JOURNAL OF UROLOGY conveys regularly the essential results of urological research and their practical and clinical relevance to a broad audience of urologists in research and clinical practice.

In order to guarantee a balanced program, articles are published to reflect the developments in all fields of urology on an internationally advanced level.

Each issue treats a main topic in review articles of invited international experts.

Free papers are unrelated articles to the main topic.

Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in 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 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.

The Editor-in-Chief 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 fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
