INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Because of the increasing number of manuscripts of varying length and complexity submitted to the Journal of Urology, the Board of Editors have listed for the benefit of authors the principal requirements for the acceptability of a paper. This information is presented on p. 3 of the advertising section. The Editors wish to offer to as many authors as possible an opportunity to publish their work if it meets the established standards of excellence. The Editors will judge a paper primarily on the basis of originality and accuracy of content, and after that on the simplicity, clarity and brevity of a good grammatical style. PROPRIETARY NAMES Many of the words appearing in the JOUR:'-, AL OF UROLOGY are proprietary names even though no reference to this fact is made in the text. The appearance of any name without designation as proprietary is therefore not to be regarded as a representation by the editorial committee or publisher that it is not a proprietary name or is not the subject of proprietary rights.

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Because of the increasing number of manuscripts of varying length and complexity submitted to the Journal of Urology, the Board of Editors have listed for the benefit of authors the principal requirements for the acceptability of a paper. This information is presented on p. 3 of the advertising section. The Editors wish to offer to as many authors as possible an opportunity to publish their work if it meets the established standards of excellence. The Editors will judge a paper primarily on the basis of originality and accuracy of content, and after that on the simplicity, clarity and brevity of a good grammatical style. PROPRIETARY NAMES Many of the words appearing in the JOUR:'-, AL OF UROLOGY are proprietary names even though no reference to this fact is made in the text. The appearance of any name without designation as proprietary is therefore not to be regarded as a representation by the editorial committee or publisher that it is not a proprietary name or is not the subject of proprietary rights.
