About the journal
|
The Journal of Tropical Pediatrics provides a link between theory and practice in the field. Papers report key results of clinical and community research, and considerations of programme development. More general descriptive pieces are included when they have application to work preceeding elsewhere. The journal also presents review articles, book reviews and, occasionally, short monographs and selections of important papers delivered at relevant conferences.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of manuscriptsThe manuscript should be submitted directly to:
The Editors
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics
PO Box 19641
London SE19 1WF
UK
Manuscripts sent to any other address will not be considered for publication.
All submitted papers are seen by at least two referees who give an opinion about acceptability on the basis of originality, scientific reliability of the study, analyses of the data and interpretation of the results. Statistical opinion is sought on potentially acceptable papers with regard to design and conduct of the study as well as statistical inferences. Manuscripts and letters will be acknowledged. Those not accepted for publication will be returned if a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. Submission of a paper implies that it reports unpublished work and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If previously published tables, illustrations, or more than 200 words of text are to be included, then the copyright holder's written permission must be obtained. Copies of any such permission letters should be enclosed with the paper. Whenever possible, manuscripts should be submitted on floppy disc in addition to hard copy. Whilst the publishers can accept most computer and word processor discs, the preferred combinations are either PC MS-DOS, PC WINDOWS, or APPLE MAC, and either Microsoft Word or Wordperfect.
ProofsAuthors are sent page proofs which should be checked immediately for typographical errors and returned to Professor Ebrahim by express (special delivery) post.
CopyrightIt is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors assign copyright to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, Authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance. Copyright forms are sent out with the proofs, which must be completed and returned directly to Oxford University Press.
Preparation of manuscriptsOriginal papers should not usually be more than 2000 words in length; brief reports should not be more than 1000 words in length, and letters not more than 500 words. Manuscripts should be legibly typed, using double spacing throughout, with 25 mm margins at each side. Regular full length papers should be divided into the following sequence of sections, and each section should begin on a new page:
- Title page
- Summary
- Text
- Acknowledgements
- References
- Legends to figures
- Tables.
Number each page at the top right corner consecutively, beginning with the title page. Please avoid footnotes; use instead, parentheses within brackets. Underline only words which should appear in italic. Clearly identify unusual or handwritten symbols and Greek letters. Differentiate between the letter O and zero, and the letters I and l and number 1. Mark the position of each figure and table in the margin. SI units should be used for scientific measurements.
References
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text. Published articles and those in press (state the journal which has accepted them) may be included. References should include (in the following order) author's names, editors (books only) paper title in full, journal/book title, name and address of publisher (books only), year, volume number and inclusive page numbers. Personal communication should be authorized by those involved, in writing, and unpublished data should be cited as (unpublished data). References to manuscripts in preparation or submitted, but not yet accepted, should be cited in the text but not included in the list of references.
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate sheets, and numbered consecutively. Tables should be self-explanatory and include a brief descriptive title. Footnotes to tables indicated by lower case letters are acceptable, but they should not include extensive experimental detail. Cite each table in the text in consecutive order.
Illustrations
All illustrations must be cited in the text in consecutive order. The back of each figure should be labelled clearly with the title of the paper, the name of the first author, and the figure number. Also indicate clearly the top margin of the figure. Figures should be submitted in the desired final size so that reduction can be avoided. The type area of a page is 206 (height) mm x 150 mm (width); a single column is 71 mm (width).
Photographs. Photographs should be of sufficiently high quality with respect to detail, contrast, and fineness of grain to withstand the inevitable loss of contrast and detail inherent in the printing process. Indicate the magnification by a rule on the photographs.
Line drawings. These should be clear, sharp prints, suitable for reproduction as submitted. Ensure that the size of lettering is in proportion with the overall dimensions of the figure.
Figure legends. These should be on a separate, numbered manuscript sheet. Define all symbols and abbreviations used in the figure.
Reprints
The publishers supply 20 reprints free of charge (authors of Brief Reports, Letters to the Editor, and For Debate will receive 10 reprints free of charge). Reprint forms are sent out with the proofs, which must be completed and returned directly to Oxford University Press. Late orders received after the Journal is printed are subject to increased prices.
