About the journal
Aims and Scope
This highly respected and frequently cited journal is a prime source of information in the area of fetal and neonatal research. Original papers present research on all aspects of neonatology, fetal medicine and developmental biology. These papers encompass both basic science and clinical research including randomised trials, observational studies and epidemiology. Basic science research covers molecular biology, molecular genetics, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology in fetal and neonatal life. Papers reporting results of animal studies should be based upon hypotheses that relate to developmental processes or disorders in the human fetus or neonate.

Most reviews are submitted upon invitation. However, the editors are open to unsolicited reviews. Authors planning such a review are requested to contact the Editorial Office with a one page outline of the intended review. All reviews are subject to peer review.
Short reports, including case reports, brief laboratory observations, and preliminary communications, can be submitted for accelerated publication under ‘brief communications? To qualify for rapid publication, such reports should not exceed a printed length of two pages, i.e., generally not more than 1,400 words of text accompanied by 2 figures or tables and from 5 to 10 references.
Conditions
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Neonatology?and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
Conflict of Interest: All forms of support, including that from drug companies, and any potential source of conflict of interest should be acknowledged in the cover letter to the editor when applicable. The statement will be printed at the end of the article.
Ethics: Published research must comply with the guidelines for human studies and animal welfare regulations. Authors should state that subjects have given their informed consent and that the study protocol has been approved by the institute’s committee on human research. Further, they should also state that animal experiments conform to institutional standards.
Arrangement
Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors?names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head.
NB: Authors wishing to preserve the phonetic meaning of diacritics (PubMed reduces diacritics to their root characters) must spell their names accordingly when submitting manuscripts (e.g. Müller should be Mueller).
Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
Key words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3¨C10 key words in English is essential.
Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract of up to 250 words.
It should be structured as follows:
Background: What is the major motive that prompted the study?
Objectives: What is the purpose of the study?
Methods: How was the study done?
Results: Most important findings
Conclusions: Most important conclusions
Footnotes: Avoid footnotes.
Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate pages. Tables require a heading and figures a legend, also prepared on a separate page. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. When possible, group several illustrations in one block for reproduction (max. size 180 x 223 mm) or provide crop marks. Each illustration must be labeled with its number and the first author's name. The final resolution for b/w half-tone and color illustrations must be 300 dpi after scaling. Line drawings require 800-1,200 dpi. Figure files must not be embedded in a document file but submitted separately (for detailed instructions, see Online Submission Instructions).

Material submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be noted as ¡®unpublished data¡¯ and not be included in the reference list. The list of references should include only those publications which are cited in the text. Do not alphabetize; number references in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. The surnames of the authors followed by initials should be given. There should be no punctuation other than a comma to separate the authors. Preferably, please cite all authors. Abbreviate journal names according to the Index Medicus system. (Also see International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals.
