The Journal of Infection publishes original papers on all aspects of infection - clinical, microbiological, epidemiological and molecular. The journal seeks to bring together knowledge from all specialities involved in the research and clinical practice of infection and to present the best work in this ever-changing field.
The journal is among the leaders in its field and has an excellent ISI ranking (1.188 in 2000). With low referee times, a dedicated editorial team and a forward thinking approach it provides the best forum for original research. |
Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Infection will consider for publication an original article, review, case report or letter to the Editor on any aspect of infection written concisely in English provided it is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors must comply fully with these instructions.
Manuscripts may be submitted to:

Ethics
When any procedure that might be construed as an experiment on a living human or animal is mentioned, a statement should be made in the accompanying letter satisfying the Editor that the procedure was conducted with informed consent and/or in a humane manner. Evidence of approval by a hospital ethical committee will normally be accepted as complying with this requirement.
Authors must ensure that, unless informed consent has been obtained in writing, the identity of any patient whose condition is described in the text of an article submitted for publication or whose photograph is submitted for publication, is suitably concealed (see below). Attention of authors is drawn to statements agreed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors which met in San Francisco in February 1991 (Br Med J 1991; 302: 1194).
Digital Object Identifier
W.B. Saunders assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Due to its persistence, it can be used to query W.B. Saunders for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various Web sites, including IDEAL, and to cite the article in academic references. When using a W.B. Saunders article in a reference section, it is important to include the article?s DOI in the reference as volume and page information is not always available for articles published online. The References section shows samples of DOI included in references. Further information may be found at http://www.academicpress.com/doi.
Number of Copies
Four copies of all contributions (including illustrations, photographs, and drawings) must be submitted and accompanied by a letter stating the qualification(s) of the authors - signed by each of them - and containing a statement that the work is original, has not been accepted, or is concurrently being considered for publication elsewhere. All contributions should be typewritten - double spaced - on one side of A4-sized paper, with a margin of approximately 30 mm on each side. The first page should show the title, names of all authors (excluding degrees and titles) and institution(s) and/or department(s) where the work was carried out, together with the name and address of the author to whom the proofs/correspondence should be dispatched. A short title (not exceeding 40 characters and spaces) should be provided on the title page. When work mentioned in a paper submitted for publication has been grant-supported this should be indicated in the acknowledgement(s).
Title
Your title page, numbered as 1, should give the title in capital letters (not exceeding 100 letters), a running title (not exceeding 50 letters) and the authors' names (as they are to appear), affiliations and complete addresses, including postal (zip) codes. The author and address to whom correspondence should be sent must be clearly indicated. Please supply telephone, fax and e-mail numbers for the corresponding author.
Abstracts
A structured abstract of your manuscript, a maximum of 200 words, summarizing the content, should be provided on a separate sheet following the title page. This must be divided into sections entitled Objectives; Methods; Results; Conclusions.
Length
The text should comprise the following sections: Summary, Key words, Introduction, Materials (or Patients) and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. Tables, Figures and Legends to figures should be on separate sheets.
Reference Format
References must accord with the 'Vancouver' style (Br Med J 1982; 284: 1766-1770). When the number of authors is six or less, the names and initials of all should be given in the reference list; when seven or more, the first three names should be cited, followed by et al. Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of all references and ensuring that all given in the text agree with those in the reference list.
Example:
1. McC B, Crockson R A, Crockson A P, Wilkinson A R. The effect of some anti-inflammatory drugs on the acute phase proteins in rheumatoid arthritis. Q J Med 1973; 42: 785-791.
References to book chapters should be set out:
Example: 1. Weinstein L, Schwartz M N. Pathogenic properties of invading micro-organisms. In: Soderman W A Jr, Soderman W A, eds. Pathologic physiology: mechanisms of disease. W B Saunders, 1974: 457-472.
References cited solely in tables and/or legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first mention in the text of the table or illustration.
Papers submitted with references or other features which fail to comply with these instructions will be returned, and not considered for publication until resubmitted in the required style.
When citing a W.B. Saunders journal, include the digital object identifier (DOI), if noted, from the article?s title page. Please note the following examples.
1. Munday PE. Pelvic inflammatory disease - an evidence-based approach to diagnosis. J Infect 2000; 40: 31-41, doi:10.1053/jinf.1999.0609.
2. Colebunders R, Borchert M. Ebola haemorrhagic fever - a review. J Infect, doi: 10.1053/jinf. 1999.0603.
Figures
Illustrations should be numbered in Arabic numerals (e.g. Fig. 3). Each one should be on a separate sheet and a title which makes its meaning clear without reference to the text included. For graphs and illustrations, glossy black-and-white photographs of good quality should be submitted. The name of the first author should be stated on the back, and the top indicated by an arrow. For each illustration a brief legend should be typewritten on a separate sheet. The identity of patients shown in photographs should either be concealed, or they should give written consent; a copy of consent should accompany the photograph. Simple masking of eyes in a photograph may not be sufficient. Colour prints will be considered only if essential; reproduction is at the author's expense.
Tables
Tables should be numbered in Roman (e.g. Table III). Each one should be on a separate sheet and a title which makes its meaning clear without reference to the text included.
Keywords
Authors should provide Keywords from their summary. They should include those published in Medical Subject Headings - Annotated Alphabetical List, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (new volume every year).
Units & Abbreviations
Microbes should be referred to by their scientific names according to the binominal system used in the latest edition of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (The Williams and Wilkins Co.). When first mentioned, the name should be in full and underlined - to denote italics. Thenceforward, the genus should be abbreviated to its initial letter, e.g. 'S. aureus' not 'Staph. aureus'. If abbreviation is likely to cause confusion or render the intended meaning(s) unclear the names of organisms should be given in full. Only those names included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Int J Syst Bacteriol 1980; 30: 225-420) and/or which have been validly published in the Int J Syst Bacteriol since January 1980 are acceptable. If there is a good reason to use a name that does not have standing in nomenclature, it should be enclosed in quotation marks and an appropriate statement concerning its use made in the text (e.g. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1980; 30: 547-556).
Symbols for units of measurement must accord with the Systeme International (SI). However, blood pressure should be expressed in mmHg and haemoglobin as g/dl. Drugs should be referred to by their generic, and not proprietary, name(s); for guidance the latest edition of the British National Formulary should be consulted.
Case Reports
Case reports should not exceed 2000 words, with no more than one table and figure included. Four copies should be submitted to the Editor in the normal way. Case reports do not require a structured abstract.
Disk/Electronic Submission
Authors are requested to submit a copy of the manuscript on disc, where possible. Authors wishing to submit a disc can obtain information from the Journal's Production Editor.
Copyright Information
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that, if accepted for publication the exclusive copyright shall be assigned to the British Society for the Study of Infection (BSSI). A copyright assignment and offprint order form will be despatched with proofs.
Any material, e.g. an illustration, published elsewhere and submitted for republication in this journal, must be accompanied by a statement giving permission to reproduce the material; this statement should be signed by the relevant author(s) and publisher(s).
The opinions expressed in the Journal are those of the authors, and not necessarily the editorial board or publishers. Ultimate responsibility in use and checking drug doses mentioned in the Journal, and in interpretation of published material lies with the physician concerned.
