Prehospital and Disaster Medicine (PDM) is a peer-reviewed health and medical journal that has been published for more than thirty years. PDM is sponsored by, and the official publication of, the World Association of Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM). The principal mission of the journal is the distribution of information relevant to the practice of out-of-hospital and in-hospital emergency medical care, disaster medicine, and emergency public health and safety.
PDM provides an international forum for the reporting and discussion of scientific studies, both quantitative and qualitative, that have relevance to the above practices. It is one of the few journals that maintain a global perspective in the publication of disaster health and emergency medical information. During the past two years, manuscripts submitted by authors from thirty-one countries have been published.
To assure highest standards in publication of scientific content, PDM supports and follows international standards for peer review of all material that may be used as an authoritative citation or reference. It is a signatory with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policy
Manuscripts in one of six different categories can be submitted for review and publication in Prehospital and Disaster Medicine (PDM): (1) Original Research; (2) Brief Report; (3) Special Report; (4) Case Report; (5) Comprehensive Review; or (6) Field Report. Other types of manuscripts must have the approval of the Editor before being submitted. The characteristics specific to each of these categories are described below:
1. Original Research—structured research that uses quantitative and/or qualitative data collection methods and analyses to establish a hypothesis or prove a cause and effect relationship is included in this category. The manuscript must be structured as follows:
Abstract—concise summary (not to exceed 375 words) in the following format:
Introduction: Describes the need for the study
Hypothesis/Problem: What was tested (experimental studies only) If qualitative, statement of problem addressed.
Methods: Summary of methods used with subsections as appropriate (type of subjects, number of subjects, study design, statistical tests). If the work is qualitative, the types of instruments used and the scope and type of work must be described. Results: Summary of principal findings.
Conclusion: Implications of findings.
Introduction—provide justification for the effort with appropriate references annotated. If quantitative, the concluding sentence should define the hypothesis. If qualitative, the problem being addressed should be stated clearly.
Methods—detailed description of methods used, including type and number of subjects, study design, statistical tests, software and equipment. This section should be sufficiently detailed that other investigators would be able to reproduce the study. Statistical methods used must be annotated. Approval by an Institutional Review Committee must be included when appropriate.
Results—results must be presented in text using both numbers and percentages where applicable, and may be accompanied by tables and figures (tables and figures must be referred to in text). The text must explain all data included in tables and figures, but should not be unnecessarily redundant. All direct results from the study must appear in this section. No discussion of the results may be included.
Discussion—the discussion should provide an interpretation of the results in terms of meaning and application. Results should not be repeated. Computations or extrapolations that may help explain the results may be provided. Limitations of the study should be defined and suggestions for future research should be included. Also include references that support or negate explanations provided.
Conclusion—the findings in terms of implications for the practice of prehospital, emergency, and/or disaster (humanitarian) medicine should be summarized in a few sentences. No new information should be provided.
References—a numbered list of references in the order in which they appear in the text. References should not be formatted as footnotes.
2. Brief Report—a short report on work that does not meet all of the criteria required for original research. Preliminary reports also are included in this category. The format used should be identical to that used for Original Research.
3. Special Report—describes activities or aspects of our science that provide information necessary for the progression of the science. The manuscript should be structured as follows:
Abstract—concise summary (not to exceed 375 words)
Introduction— highlight the problem being addressed and the reasons that it needs to be addressed.
Report—describes an aspect of science or information. Any subsections should be subtitled. Include citations for sources of the material.
Discussion—describes the significance of the report in terms of the science. Includes a comprehensive review of the pertinent literature.
Conclusion—the findings in terms of implications for the practice of prehospital, emergency, and/or disaster (humanitarian) medicine should be summarized in a few sentences.
References—a numbered list of references in the order in which they appear in the text. References should not be formatted as footnotes.
4. Case Report—uses one or more cases of specific patients or events/responses to highlight a current aspect of medical care or a phenomenon. Case reports also may have value in the development of definitive research projects by the same or other investigators. The format for a Case Report is the same as that for Special Report described above.
5. Comprehensive Review—a review of the literature to be used to clarify areas in which there seems to be disagreement. Comprehensive reviews seek to establish the evidence base for the area being addressed. The format used should be identical to that described for Special Reports.
6. Field Report—analyze and provide direct observations of prehospital and disaster events. The manuscript should be structured as follows:
Specific event identifiers, including:
a. Event type (example: tropical storm, bombing, train crash, mass-gathering event);
b. Event onset date;
c. Location of event (geographic area from which report is being made);
d. Geographic coordinates in latitude, longitude, elevation;
e. Dates (or times) of observations reported; and
f. Response type (example: medical relief, humanitarian, public health surveillance).
Abstract—limited to approximately 100 words (for indexing with literature search databases).
Introduction—summary of event with specific data available, such as population density; detailed event description; and general damage that occurred. Include description of author response responsibilities and mission objectives.
Source(s) —for information and data used for the report.
Observations
Analysis—of Observations with any recommendations.
References—a numbered list of references (if any used in analysis of observations) in the order in which they appear in the text. References should not be formatted as footnotes.
The main text of a field report submitted to Prehospital and Disaster Medicine should be no more than 1,500 words in length. Supporting maps, graphs, and tables are encouraged.
Manuscript Submission
All manuscripts must be submitted through the Journal’s online submission platform, ScholarOne Manuscripts, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pdm. The following must be included with the submitted manuscript:
Cover Letter—each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter addressing the following:

Tables and Figures
Only essential figures and tables should be included. Further tables, figures, photographs and appendices may be published as supplementary material with the online version on the journal. All tables and figures must be referred to in text.
Tables—submit tables either at the end of the manuscript or as separate Word or rtf files. DO NOT SUBMIT AS PDFs. Tables should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the text, using Arabic numerals. Include table title above each table. Tables should be black and white, with text in Times New Roman 12 point font. Do not use shading, and do not include spaces, tabs, or hard returns. Table footnotes should be indicated with superscript lowercase letters in alphabetical order. Tables should be no more than nine columns wide, and should fit on one printed page (portrait orientation).Tables longer or wider than a page should be split into two or more tables.
Data presented as numbers and/or percentages must add up to totals; any discrepancies must be explained in table footnotes. Numbers and corresponding percentages should be presented in the same cell, using the n (%) format. Mean and standard deviation should also be presented in the same cell, using the mean (SD) format rather than the ± format.
Figures—number all figures in the order they will appear in the text using Arabic numerals. Do not include place markers for figures in the text. Titles for figures should be included as text at the end of the manuscript, and should not be included in the figure itself. Legends should be included in the figure. Graphs, line art, diagrams, charts, and other figures should be submitted as black and white high resolution (300 dpi/120 pix per cm or higher) tiff files. Do Not Submit in Word Document. Color photographs and graphs may be submitted as supplemental material for online publication.
Converting images to high resolution tiff files generally requires graphics software such as PhotoShop, InDesign, or Adobe Illustrator. In some cases, it is possible to convert Word or Excel files to pdf files, then pdf files to tiff files. To convert PowerPoint files to high resolution files, see instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;.... Do not submit figures as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, jpeg, or similar files. Photographs should be black and white tiff files with at least 600 dpi resolution. Please ensure that your figures are saved at final publication size (see the latest issue of the journal for column widths).
Even when your figure is saved as a 300 dpi tiff file, it may not be of sufficient resolution for print publication. If your original figure was lower resolution, simply saving it as a higher resolution file may not be helpful. Try sizing your figure to 1/4 or 1/3 of a page, and printing it. Is all the text clear? Is there enough contrast between bar graphs or lines and the background? White or no background is usually best.
Permissions—illustrations or tables from other publications must be accompanied by written permission from the author and publishers of the document in which they originally appeared.
Proofs and Offprints
Page proofs will be sent to the author designated to receive correspondence. Corrections other than to printer's errors may be charged to the author. A final PDF version of the article will be supplied to the corresponding author when the article is published. Please note that no changes can be made after a paper is published online.
