About the journal
Founded by Antonio Sanna
European Journal of Epidemiology, published for the first time in 1985, serves as a forum on the epidemiology of communicable and non-communicable diseases and their control. The results of epidemiologic studies are essential arguments for action in the field of public health policies and efforts are made to bring the journal to the decision makers' attention. The journal is also a source of material for those who are actively engaged in teaching epidemiology.
The journal covers the different fields of epidemiology, a science which has always been multidisciplinary by nature: contributions are encouraged from the fields of public health planning and control, economy, preventive medicine, clinical trials, vaccinology, psychology, molecular biology, mathematical modelization and computer sciences.
Within and outside its geographical borders, Europe is involved in a number of new problems including those concerning public health. Epidemiologists on this continent will have to take into account more and more often economical, psychological, social and even political dimensions at national, regional and global levels. It has often been a concern for European scientists to find a medium for publication without the risk of rejection by international referees on the basis of `local interest'.
Although peer review for publication in European Journal of Epidemiology is rigorous and very strict, the European interest of the data presented is also taken into consideration. Articles are carefully refereed and selected to provide the reader with the most up-to-date, original, well designed, well interpreted and significant information in the field of epidemiology.
Original and review articles, brief reports and letters to the editor are considered for publication. Proceedings of relevant symposia and monothematic issues on topics of particular interest are occasionally published as supplements.
European Journal of Epidemiology should be available in each library for researchers and students in epidemiology, hygiene and public health.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
Kluwer Academic Publishers request the submission of manuscripts and figures in electronic form in addition to a hard-copy printout. The preferred storage medium for your electronic manuscript is a 3 1/2 inch diskette. Please label your diskette properly, giving exact details on the name(s) of the file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic manuscript in the word processor format that you use; conversions to other formats and versions tend to be imperfect. In general, use as few formatting codes as possible. For safety?/SPAN>s sake, you should always retain a backup copy of your file(s). After acceptance, please make absolutely sure that you send the latest (i.e., revised) version of your manuscript, both as hard-copy printout and on diskette (submission in electronic form of the final version of your article is compulsory).
Kluwer Academic Publishers prefer articles submitted in word processing packages such as MS Word, WordPerfect, etc. running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows and Apple Macintosh, or in the file format LaTeX. Articles submitted in other software programs can also be accepted.
For submission in LaTeX, Kluwer Academic Publishers have developed a Kluwer LaTeX class file, which can be downloaded from: http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/
Use of this class file is highly recommended. Do not use versions downloaded from other sites. Technical support is available at: texhelp@wkap.nl. If you are not familiar with TeX/LaTeX, the class file will be of no use to you. In that case, submit your article in a common word processor format. For the purpose of reviewing, articles for publication should be submitted as hard-copy printout (3-fold) and on diskette to:

Ethics
When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Helsinki Declaration (1964, amended in 1975 and 1983) of the World Medical Association. Do not use patients?/SPAN> names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in any illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution?/SPAN>s or the National Research Council?/SPAN>s guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Manuscript Presentation
The journal?/SPAN>s language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewers?/SPAN> remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
title
author(s)
affiliation(s)
full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. The abstract should be typed as one paragraph.
Key Words
Please provide a maximum of 6 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order, suitable for indexing.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations and their explanations should be collected in a list, arranged alphabetically.
Article types
Brief reports
Brief reports should not exceed 6 double-spaced typewritten pages and should not be divided into sections. All brief reports must have abstracts of no more than 60 words and references.
Commentaries and reviews
Solicited and non-solicited papers on topical subjects will be published.
Letters to the editor
Letters to the Editor should not exceed 500 words.
Symbols and units
Only SI (Systeme International) units and abbreviations should be used, although some quantities may be expressed in common units, e.g. mmHg. Abbreviations should be explained when they first appear in the text. If a non-standard abbreviation is to be used extensively, it should be defined in full on page 2 as mentioned above. Whenever in doubt use SI units.
Figures and Tables
Submission of electronic figures
In addition to hard-copy printouts of figures, authors are requested to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., ?/SPAN>figure1.eps?/SPAN>. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10-15%.
AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS
Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program. If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).
If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create seperate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document.
HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTSCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS
Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer ?/SPAN>Apple Laserwriter Plus?/SPAN> and specify ?/SPAN>FILE?/SPAN>: as printer port. Each time you send something to the ?/SPAN>printer?/SPAN> you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.
The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single-page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select ?/SPAN>Optimise for portability?/SPAN> instead. The option ?/SPAN>Download header with each job?/SPAN> should be checked.
Submission of hard-copy figures
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author?/SPAN>s name should be followed by the reference number in square brackets. When there are more than two authors, only the first author?/SPAN>s name should be mentioned, followed by ?/SPAN>et al.?/SPAN>.
Examples:
Winograd [1]
Bullen and Bennett [2]
Acknowledgements
