The American Journal of Epidemiology is the premier epidemiological journal devoted to the publication of empirical research findings, methodological developments in the field of epidemiological research and opinion pieces. It is aimed at both fellow epidemiologists and those who use epidemiological data, including public health workers and clinicians

Instructions to Authors
OPEN ACCESS OPTION FOR AUTHORS
CORRESPONDENCE AND MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Manuscripts must be submitted online in a double-spaced, blinded format, with pages numbered, in at least twelve-point type. Any manuscript without page numbers will not be considered and will be returned immediately to the author. Once the manuscript has been prepared according to the information below, please visit http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/aje to submit. Instructions on how to submit your manuscript online can be found by clicking here.
When uploading the manuscript to the Web site, please delete any text reference to the paper's authors, affiliations, and acknowledgments. Each manuscript, when submitted, must include a word count for both the abstract and the text, exclusive of references, tables, and figure legends. If the manuscript cannot be submitted online, please contact the American Journal of Epidemiology, Candler Building, 111 Market Place, Suite 840, Baltimore, MD 21202-6709, USA (telephone: 410-223-1649), for further instructions. The author who submits the manuscript will remain the contact author throughout the entire publishing process. When the final revision of the manuscript has been accepted, the senior author must sign a Publication Agreement (see "Copyright") and a statement accepting responsibility for publication charges.
AUTHORSHIP
Authorship credit should be based on criteria developed by the International Committee for Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE): (1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the article or reviewing it and, if appropriate, revising it critically for important intellectual content; (3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions (1) and (2) and (3). In addition, each author must certify that he or she has participated sufficiently in the work to believe in its overall validity and to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of its content.
The cover letter must briefly explain each author’s individual contributions. For example, “Author A designed the study and directed its implementation, including quality assurance and control. Author B helped supervise the field activities and designed the study’s analytic strategy. Author C helped conduct the literature review and prepare the Materials and Methods and the Discussion sections of the text.”
CODE OF ETHICS
If a study has involved any contact with human subjects or if it is otherwise appropriate, authors should state in their Materials and Methods section that their institution's review board has approved the study proposal, as well as the manner in which informed consent was obtained from subjects (if applicable). Authors should follow the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki (41st World Medical Assembly. Declaration of Helsinki: recommendations guiding physicians in biomedical research involving human subjects. Bull Pan Am Health Organ. 1990;24:606-609).
The Journal subscribes to the criteria for authorship detailed in Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (Vancouver Guidelines) by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
At the point of submission, American Journal of Epidemiology policy requires that each author reveal any financial interests or connections, direct or indirect, or other situations that might raise the question of bias in the work reported or the conclusions, implications, or opinions stated---including pertinent commercial or other sources of funding for the individual author(s) or for the associated department(s) or organization(s), personal relationships, or direct academic competition. When considering whether you should declare a conflicting interest or connection, please consider the conflict of interest test: Is there any arrangement that would embarrass you or any of your coauthors if it was to emerge after publication and you had not declared it?
As an integral part of the online submission process, corresponding authors are required to confirm whether they or their coauthors have any conflicts of interest to declare, and to provide details of these. If the corresponding author is unable to confirm this information on behalf of all coauthors, the authors in question will then be required to submit a completed Conflict of Interest form to the Editorial Office. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure that all authors adhere to this policy.
If the manuscript is published, Conflict of Interest information will be communicated in a statement in the published paper.
MANUSCRIPTS
The American Journal of Epidemiology considers manuscripts for which copyright has not been assigned, that do not essentially duplicate already published material, and are not being simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere. If the submitted manuscript is based on the findings of an article in press or if such an article is cited in support of current findings, a copy of the article should be uploaded along with the submitted manuscript.
Reports of original research are published in the form of Original Contributions, comprising field and laboratory studies of infectious diseases and noninfectious acute and chronic diseases, as well as studies of statistical or methodological issues. We encourage methodological contributions aimed at improving the design and analysis of epidemiologic studies. Although we recognize that such papers may require a technical level above that of the typical original contribution published in the Journal, we encourage authors of methodological papers to make them as comprehensible as possible by using examples based on epidemiologic studies and by relegating highly technical material to appendices.
Papers dealing with the practical application of epidemiologic or statistical methods (such as the implementation of statistical techniques or the evaluation of interview strategies) are published in a section entitled Practice of Epidemiology. Papers designated as Human Genome Epidemiology (HuGE) Reviews identify a gene's allelic variants and describe what is known about their frequency in different populations, identify associated diseases, and summarize the risk and risk factors. The Review and Commentary sections contain reviews and comments on various aspects of epidemiologic research. Meta and pooled analysis comprises systematic reviews of epidemiologic studies, including both substantive areas and methodologic aspects. The editorial board reserves the right to select the section in which the paper will be published, if it is found to be acceptable for publication.
If a questionnaire was used in the study, the authors are encouraged to make it available on the World Wide Web.
Letters to the Editor should refer to an article(s) previously published in the Journal. A letter should convey the author's views as concisely as possible and contain a reasonable number of references. Letters to the Editor are not blinded. After it is accepted, it is usually sent to the first author of the original paper for a response; if a response is warranted, both letters will appear in the same issue. (If the response letter cannot be submitted within 3-4 weeks, we will publish the letter and the response can be published in a future issue.) The responding author(s) should reference the critique before citing any other references.
MULTIPART PAPERS
The Journal strongly discourages the submission of multipart papers. If submitted, multi-part papers should be prepared so they can be assigned to different editorial board members and independent outside expert reviewers.
REVISIONS
Revisions should be submitted online to ScholarOne Manuscripts using the same "Contact Author" account as the original manuscript. At this site, authors will find a link to the current paper and instructions on how to upload the revisions. Authors are requested to upload an unblinded copy showing the changes, deletions, and/or additions. Along with these copies, responses to the editor's and reviewers' comments are also requested.
