About the journal
Archives of Disease in Childhood is an international peer review journal that aims to keep paediatricians and others up to date with advances in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases as well as advocacy issues such as child protection. It focuses on all aspects of child health and disease from the perinatal period (in the Fetal and Neonatal edition) through to adolescence. ADC includes original research reports, commentaries, reviews of clinical and policy issues, and evidence reports. Areas covered include: community child health, public health, epidemiology, acute paediatrics, advocacy, and ethics. New sections include: guidelines update; international health; a column written by patients about their experience with the health care system; and abstracts from Journal Watch Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.

Supplements
Articles for the [Paediatric and Perinatal] Drug Therapy section should follow the same instructions (word count, etc) as the relevant article type, ie, if you are submitting a full research paper for the PPDT section it should adhere to the "Original reports" instructions.
The word count excludes the title page, abstract, tables, acknowledgements and contributions and the references.
All submissions should be double-spaced, except for tables, which should be single spaced.
Original reports
These should report original research. (max 2500 words, excluding abstract, tables and figures, and references). The body of the report should be double spaced. The tables should be single spaced and the tables and figures should be at the end of the submission after the references. Please note that all RCT must be appropriately registered and this should be noted on the cover page.
Title
The title should have no more than 10 words. If relevant the title should include the information as to whether the paper is a randomised control trial, meta-analysis, audit, observational study, etc.
Abstract
The abstract of an experimental or observational study must clearly state in sequence and in not more than 250 words (i) the main purpose of the study, (ii) the essential elements of the design of the study, (iii) the most important results illustrated by numerical data but not p values, and (iv) the implications and relevance of the results.
We require a structured abstract of up to 250 words for reports of randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses, and we encourage it for other studies, where appropriate. The following headings should be used for original research:
Objective
Design
Setting
Patients
Interventions
Main outcome measures
Results: give numerical data rather than vague statements that drug x produced a better response than drug y. Favour confidence intervals over p values, and give the numerical data on which any p value is based.
Conclusions: do not make any claims that are not supported by data in the paper in the abstract.
Important considerations
All research reports involving human subjects must contain a statement about ethics committee approval (or equivalent) at the end of the methods section.
On a separate page (before the references) all original papers should include:
"What is already known on this topic" - followed by a maximum of 3 brief statements (no more than 25 words per statement);
"What this study adds" - followed by a maximum of 3 brief statements (no more than 25 words per statement).
Illustrations should be used only when data cannot be expressed clearly in any other way. When graphs are submitted the numerical data on which they are based should be uploaded to Bench>Press as a supplementary file.
Further details of RCTs and systematic reviews.
Word count: up to 2500 words (excluding title page, abstract, tables, figures, and references)
Structured abstract: up to 250 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 5
References: up to 40
Additional material may be considered as data supplements.
Short reports / Case reports
Short reports are brief reports of original research and case reports are any report/case history of four cases or less. The abstract of a paper that focuses on a case report(s) must summarise the essential descriptive elements of the case(s) and indicate their relevance and importance. If more illustrations are required the text must be reduced accordingly. The title should be no longer than seven words. All case reports must be submitted with a scanned patient consent form uploaded as a supplemental file. Please click here for the Patient Consent Form.
Word count: up to 1200 words (excluding title page, abstract, tables, figures, and references)
Abstract: up to 150 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 2 small tables or images
References: up to 5
Letters to the editor (original research)
The editor encourages submissions of original exploratory research as a letter to the editor.
Word count: up to 500 words
Abstract: not required
Tables/Illustrations: up to 2
References: up to 4
Images in Paediatrics / Images in Neonatal Medicine
Submissions to the above categories should take the form of a striking or clinically important image, bolstered by up to 250 words of text (plus up to 5 references). Two images can be submitted simultaneously, but this will require a sacrifice in the word count. Please ensure that for all Image submissions, you also upload a scanned patient consent form as a supplemental file. Please click here for the Patient Consent Form.

Archimedes
To register a question, and to submit completed Archimedes topics, please email bob.phillips@doctors.org.uk first. The creation of such a topic summary follows this process:
Selection of a clinical scenario
Definition of the clinical question
Search for answers
Appraise the evidence
Create a critically appraised topic (CAT)
Summarise as a best evidence topic (BET)
The best evidence topic is the final accumulation of the critical appraisal. The strict format allows the casual reader to extract important information quickly and easily. An example template is available here:
Leading Articles / Reviews
Leading articles and reviews can be discussed with either the Editor in Chief or Commissioning Editor. Editors will make the final decision regarding whether an article is classified as a leading article or review. In general reviews focus on clinical issues, whereas leading articles reflect on issues that are broader in scope than a specific clinical entity. Reviews should be no longer that 2500 words (exclusive of titles, tables, figures, and references), and the word count for leading articles is at the discretion of the editor.
For Leading Articles the title should have no more than 10 words. If relevant the title should include the information as to whether the paper is a randomised control trial, meta-analysis, audit, observational study, etc. No abstract is required.
Word count: 2500 (review) and 1500-2500 (leading article).
Abstract: Brief summary of the article required
Supplements
The BMJ Publishing Group journals are willing to consider publishing supplements to regular issues. Supplement proposals may be made at the request of:
The journal editor, an editorial board member or a learned society may wish to organise a meeting, sponsorship may be sought and the proceedings published as a supplement.
The journal editor, editorial board member or learned society may wish to commission a supplement on a particular theme or topic. Again, sponsorship may be sought.
The BMJPG itself may have proposals for supplements where sponsorship may be necessary.
A sponsoring organisation, often a pharmaceutical company or a charitable foundation, that wishes to arrange a meeting, the proceedings of which will be published as a supplement.
In all cases, it is vital that the journal's integrity, independence and academic reputation is not compromised in any way.
