About the journal
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology crosses the boundaries between the epidemiologist and the paediatrician, obstetrician or specialist in child health, ensuring that important paediatric and perinatal studies reach those clinicians for whom the results are especially relevant. In addition to original research articles, the Journal also includes commentaries, book reviews and annotations.

Instructions to Authors
The journal welcomes discussion documents, review articles, book reviews and correspondence as well as original research reports. The last of these should deal with original research not previously published or being considered for publication elsewhere.
Topics likely to be of interest include the application of epidemiological methods to studies of pregnancy complications, birth outcomes, fertility, genetic susceptibilities, and the influence of the fetal and early environment on child or adult health and development.
Papers accepted for publication become copyright of the journal.
Papers from North, Central or South America (including the Caribbean) should be submitted to:
Professors John and Michele Kiely
Office of Analysis & Epidemiology

All authors are expected to meet the criteria for authorship which they confirm by their signature on the letter of submission.
Papers are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere. On acceptance, papers become the copyright of the Journal and all accepted papers should be accompanied by a copyright assignment form. To access this form please click here.
Structure of Manuscripts
Manuscripts in English, in triplicate, should be complete in all respects, i.e. three copies of all items including figures and tables. The manuscript should be typed with double spacing on A4 paper (297 x210 mm) or US equivalent 8 1 /2 x11 ) with wide margins, on one side of the paper only. Pages should be numbered consecutively. For manuscripts submitted to the American office only, authors are also requested to send an electronic version of their manuscript. It may be submitted on a floppy disk or on a CD in either Word or Wordperfect.
Main subdivisions of papers should be entitled Summary, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. On acceptance of their paper, authors will be asked to submit a disk of the final version.
The Title Page of the article should have:
- The title of the paper.
- List of authors (excluding qualifications), each followed by a superscript letter to link with an affiliation.
- The affiliations of the authors preceded by superscript letters denoting which author is at each institution.
- Address for correspondence (give name with designation e.g. Dr/Professor if appropriate, full postal address, telephone and fax numbers. In addition, give E-mail address).
The Second Page should be entitled Summary, and written as continuous text, not as a structured Abstract. Text and references should be printed in double spacing, with indented paragraphs.
Tables should be typed with double spacing, each on a separate sheet, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, containing only horizontal lines, and with a concise legend. Place explanatory matter in footnotes which should be indicated alphabetically in superscript. Tables should be created such that it is easy to determine what is being shown.
P-values: For results of regression analyses, give the P-value of the whole variable, not of each individual item. In general, actual P-values should be quoted, particularly for those of marginal significance. Where, in addition, levels of statistical significance are indicated in a table, use the following symbols: *P <0.05; **P <0.01; ***P <0.001; ****P <0.0001.
The reference category should always be labelled 'reference' (not 'ref').
Confidence intervals in tables or text should be put in square brackets, separated by a comma not a dash.
Figures: authors' original outwork will be used; labelling should be in sans serif typeface so that after reduction it is no smaller than 8pts; symbols and lines should be distinct after reduction; histograms should be black, white or hatched in distinctive ways; background rules should not be used. Photographs should be good quality, unmounted glossy prints. Legends for figures should be typed on a separate sheet. In the full-text online edition of the journal, figure legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the full-screen version. Therefore, the first 100 characters of any legend should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure.
Full details of submission of figures in electronic format are available at htp://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp
Acknowledgements (including details of funding) should be put at the end of the text.
References in the text should be referred to by a superscript number after the punctuation.
The list of references at the end of the paper should be listed in the order in which they appear in the text. Note that journal names and page numbers should be in full. References to personal communications, unpublished data or manuscripts 'in preparation' should not be included. If essential, such material may be incorporated at the appropriate place in the text. The style should be as follows:
For articles, give authors' names followed by initials, full title of the article, full name of journal, year of publication, volume number, first and last relevant page numbers. List all authors and if the number exceeds six give the first six, followed by et al.
For books, give authors' names followed by initials, title of chapter/article, title of book preceded by 'In:', 'Editor(s):' followed by name(s) and initial(s), place of publication, publisher's name, year of publication, first and last relevant page numbers.

Two free copies of the relevant issues of the Journal will be supplied to authors for distribution by the corresponding author. Offprints may be purchased at prices determined by the Publisher by returning the form that accompanies the proofs.
Proofs will be sent via E-mail as an Acrobat PDF (portable document format) file. They should be returned to the publisher within 3 days of receipt. Major alterations to the text and illustrations are only allowable in exceptional circumstances and the additional cost may be charged to the author.
The following house style is used:
- Birthweight not birth weight; stillbirth not still birth
- Preterm or low birthweight never premature
- Confidence intervals not confidence limits
- Multivariable not multivariate, for regression models with a single outcome variable
- Parity to refer to the number of viable previous pregnancies. Definitions vary - always define the term in the methods. Use parity 0 if the pregnant or delivering woman has had no previous viable pregnancies, and refer to her as a primipara (plural primiparae). A woman who has had at least one prior viable pregnancy is a multipara (plural multiparae).
Race, ethnicity and nationality
- When race, ethnicity or nationality are identified as research variables, the authors should make clear the purpose for using such variables.
- Authors should describe their methods of definition and classification of racial, ethnic or national groups.
- Ethnocentricity should be avoided. For example, in choosing a reference group, it should not be assumed that the majority racial, or ethnic group is necessarily the best choice. Care should be taken to explain the choice of referent.
- Limitations of race, ethnicity and nationality data and measurement should be clearly stated.
- Known or potential causes of the observed differences between groups should be explored and discussed.
