About the journal
Pediatric Diabetes is a quarterly journal devoted to disseminate new knowledge relating to the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, management, complications and prevention of diabetes in childhood and adolescence. Papers are considered on the rigor of scientific approach, novelty, and importance for understanding mechanisms involved in the epidemiology and etiology of this disease, especially its molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects. Work relating to the clinical presentation, course, management and outcome of diabetes including its physical and emotional sequelae is considered. In vitro studies using animal or human tissues, whole animal and clinical studies in humans are also considered. The journal reviews full-length papers, preliminary communications with important new information, clinical reports and reviews of major topics. Invited editorials and perspectives are a regular feature. The editors, based in the USA and Europe, maintain regular communications to assure rapid turn around time of submitted manuscripts. The aim of the journal is to become the vehicle for international dissemination of research and practice relating to diabetes in children and adolescents.

MANUSCRIPTS
All manuscripts should be submitted in correct English suitable for publication, double-spaced (including references, figure legends, footnotes etc.). Each section of the manuscript should begin on a new page. The pages should be numbered consecutively and assembled in the following order: Running title page, Title page, Key words, Abstract, Abbreviations, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figure Legends, Figures.
RUNNING TITLE PAGE
A short running title of not more than 40 letters and spaces should be provided. This page should also contain the complete address, telephone and fax numbers, and E-mail address of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript, proofs and requests for offprints should be referred.
TITLE PAGE
This page should contain the following information in the order given: 1) a concise and informative title; 2) the author(s)¡¯ full names; 3) the author(s)¡¯ complete institutional/departmental affiliation (including city, state, country, zip/postal code) of each author; 4) a word count for the entire manuscript .
ABSTRACT AND KEY WORDS PAGE
The abstract should not exceed 250 words and should incorporate data on background, objective or hypothesis, subjects, methods or plan, results and conclusions. Please make sure that the data in the abstract accurately reflect the information provided in the body of the manuscript. Below the abstract, provide up to five key words, using terms from the standard Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) list from Index Medicus.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should be succinct and should orient the reader to the state of knowledge in the specific area under investigation. The questions and hypotheses of the research should be clearly delineated here.
METHODS
Methods should be described and referenced with sufficient detail to allow other researchers to reproduce the results. It is often quite useful to subdivide methods into sections such as subjects, measurements, protocol, and data analysis. Describe selection of patients or experimental animals, including controls. Do not provide patients¡¯ names or any hospital ID numbers. Any complex data analysis should be reviewed by a statistician. Provide references and brief descriptions of methods that have been published. When using new methods, evaluate their advantages and limitations. Identify drugs, including generic name, dosage, and route(s) of administration. The manufacturer¡¯s name and location should be provided for chemicals, reagents, and special pieces of apparatus. Although not a Systeme International (SI) unit, Celsius should be used for body temperature or for laboratory measurement temperatures in the physiologic range. Please use conventional system measurements followed in parentheses by equivalent SI values. These can be found in Lundberg GD, Iverson C, Radulescu G. Now read this: The SI units are here. JAMA 1986; 255:2329-39. Young DS. Implementation of SI units for clinical laboratory data. Style specification and conversion tables. Ann Intern Med 1987; 106:114-129.
Authors must indicate that the procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee of Human Experimentation in their institution/country and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. All papers reporting experiments using animals must include a statement assuring that all animals received humane care.
RESULTS
The results should be presented in the most appropriate form, in logical sequence in tables and illustrations. In the text, explain, emphasize or summarize the most important observations.
DISCUSSION
Do not repeat in detail data given in the Results section. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study. The findings should be related to other relevant studies. On the basis of your findings (and others¡¯) discuss possible implications/conclusions, revealing any limitations of the study. When stating a new hypothesis, clearly label it as such.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Acknowledge only persons who have made substantive contributions to the study, e.g., technical assistance, critical advice, or other assistance. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from everyone acknowledged by name because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions. All funding sources supporting the work should be acknowledged.
TABLES
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Type each table double-spaced on a separate sheet; each one should have a title. Each table should be intelligible without reference to the text. Redundant or repetitious entries in a table should be minimized.
ILLUSTRATIONS
All figures should clarify the text and their numbers kept to a minimum. Figures should be constructed in a clear and uncluttered manner and planned to fit the proportions of the printed page. They should be numbered according to the order in which they are cited in the text with Arabic numerals. Magnifications should be indicated in the legends rather than inserting scales on prints. Details must be large enough to retain their clarity after reduction in size.
Composite or long horizontal figures may, at times, occupy two columns. If the components (e.g., A, B, C, D) of a composite figure need to be referred to in the text or figure legend, the figure should contain the identifying letter. Titles should be provided in the legend rather than on the figure.
Photographs of patients¡¯ faces should be included only if scientifically relevant and if the identity of the patient is concealed by masking. Authors should obtain written consent for use of such photographs.
Halftones (e.g., photomicrographs or electron micrographs) should also be sent electronically and should show only the most pertinent areas. A micron bar of appropriate scale marking is desirable on the figure.
SUBMITTING FIGURES ELECTRONICALLY
Please submit your figures electronically and read the guidelines on the Blackwell Publishing web site at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/submit_illust.asp. Vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) should be saved in Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS) and bitmap files (e.g., photographs) should be saved in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). Line art must be scanned at a minimum of 800 dpi; photographs at a minimum of 300 dpi.
COLOR
It is the policy of Pediatric Diabetes for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their color artwork. Therefore, please note that if there is color artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Blackwell Publishing requires you to complete and return a color work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF at:
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/Sub3000_X_CoW.pdf
Any article received by Blackwell Publishing with color work will not be published until this form has been returned.
LEGENDS
Legends should be typed double-spaced in consecutive order on a separate page and not on the figure. They should be numbered (1, 2, 3 etc.) and should include sufficient detail to make the figure intelligible without reference to the text.
ABBREVIATIONS, SYMBOLS AND NOMENCLATURE
They should be standardized and the full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. Consult the following sources: Scientific style and format: the CBE manual for authors, editors, and publishers. Style Manual Committee, Council of Biology Editors, 1994; American Medical Association manual of style: a guide for authors and editors, 1998.
REFERENCES
Number references consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text and identify them by Arabic numerals (in parentheses). List all authors when six or less; when seven or more, list the first three and add et al. Include manuscripts accepted, but not published, and designate them as ¡°In press¡±. Manuscripts in preparation, manuscripts not yet accepted but submitted, unpublished observations, and personal communications should be cited as such in the text and not included in the reference list. References should be according to the style used in Index Medicus. For abbreviations of journals, consult the List of Journals Indexed printed annually in the January issue of Index Medicus.
