Hip Society Awards 2011
The Hip Society announces three awards for papers submitted from the various training programs or from practicing orthopaedic surgeons for presentation at the annual Hip Society open meeting. These awards are named after men who have made outstanding contributions to reconstructive surgery of the hip and will be based on the criteria that follow:
The Otto Aufranc and John Charnley Awards: Papers submitted in these categories are to be based on innovative research, either clinical or basic, encompassing important advances in the management of hip disorders.
The Frank Stinchfield Award: This prize is given to a resident or fellow in training who submits an outstanding contribution concerning hip problems.
Any or all of these awards will be granted annually at the discretion of the Awards Committee of The Hip Society. The author(s) of each winning Award Paper will receive a $2,000 honorarium.
The Hip Society is soliciting papers, which are offered in competition for these awards. All submissions should represent original work that has not been previously published nor submitted for publication. Please indicate if your submission is a resident or fellow paper for the Frank Stinchfield Award. Submitted papers must be in publishable form. These papers are evaluated "blind" so we ask that the author not have his name or the name of his institution anywhere, but on the title page. Papers should be submitted electronically according to the instructions below and must be submitted by December 1, 2010.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING HIP SOCIETY AWARD PAPERS TO CLINICAL
ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH
All Award submissions must meet the published guidelines for Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research (https://www.editorialmanager.com/corr/). All manuscripts must be electronically submitted at the same Web site. When authors submit and upload material they must select “Society Awards” when asked for “Article Type.” Authors will then be required to selection a “Section/Category,” and should select, “2011 Hip Society Awards.” (Failure to properly select the proper article type and section/category may result in improper processing and not being considered for the intended award.) Submissions winning an award of The Society will be published in CORR with the annual Proceedings of The Society. Please call the CORR office (215-392-0270) if you have problems with the submission. All submissions must include a cover letter signed by the corresponding author
(1) documenting appropriate participation of all authors,
(2) stating all coauthors have seen and agree with the contents of the manuscript, and
(3) indicating the work has not been submitted or published elsewhere.
Authors must declare all potential conflicts as a result of interactions with commercial interests. All manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with CORR guidelines (available online). To facilitate manuscript preparation authors should download and use the following template (Template for CORR Manuscripts.dot) which can be found as a link on the above website. After clicking on the link you will see a “File Download” message. Click on "Save" and save it to a convenient location (e.g., Desktop, your file location for template files). Authors can then open the file and you will have an editable file you can then save as your document file. All Award submissions must contain an Abstract (containing fewer than 200 words), Introduction, Discussion, and any other essential sections. Manuscripts should generally contain fewer than 3000 words (Introduction through Discussion). SpringerLink allows the possibility of incorporating supplementary material. We would encourage those of you intending to include video clips or animation in your presentation to consider submitting such material for publication on the Web site. Instructions for selecting and submitting proper file types are available at our website noted above.
Please contact the CORR office (215-392-0270) for further information. Awards will be reviewed by The Society. You will be notified by The Society (not by Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research) regarding all decisions.
