The journal presents original contributions as well as a complete international abstracts section and other special departments to provide the most current source of information and references in pediatric surgery. The journal is based on the need to improve the surgical care of infants and children, not only through advances in physiology, pathology and surgical techniques, but also by attention to the unique emotional and physical needs of the young patient
Instructions to Authors
Submitting the manuscript
Manuscripts for original communications should be submitted in quadruplicate to the appropriate editor at the address given on the masthead page. Articles and all editorial communications should be addressed to the Editor in Chief, Jay L. Grosfeld, MD, Department of Surgery, JW Riley Hospital for Children, 702 Barnhill Dr, Suite 2500, Indianapolis, IN 46202 (or to the Editor for Europe, Juan A. Tovar, MD, Department of Surgery, Hospital Universitario La Paz, Paseo de la Castellana 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain, or to the Editor for the British Isles, D.G.

Correspondence concerning abstracts, book reviews, notices, reports of meetings, and other announcements should also be addressed to Dr Grosfeld.
Original articles are preferred and are accepted for publication on the condition that they are contributed solely to this journal. Papers should be as brief as possible, consistent with the subject. Short case reports are accepted, provided these do not exceed two full pages in the journal (approximately five typewritten pages). Authors should estimate space occupied by title, authors, illustrations, and references so as to keep within the two-page limit. Authors of case reports that are accepted have the option to publish them online (www.jpedsurg.org).
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the publisher.
The Journal of Pediatric Surgery subscribes in general to the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (N Engl J Med 336:309-315, 1997).
Preparing the manuscript
Four copies of the manuscript are required, as well as a diskette containing the manuscript. They should be neatly typewritten on 8? x 11" good bond paper, one side of the page only, double-spaced with liberal margins.
Manuscripts must be submitted on a disk, preferably in Microsoft Word. A double-spaced hard copy version of the final manuscript, free of hand-written alterations, must accompany the disk. All components of the manuscript must appear within a single electronic file: references, figure legends, and tables must appear at the end of the manuscript. Please refrain from using end notes as references or automatic list numbering because these features are lost in conversion: simply type the reference number in parentheses in the text and type the reference list. Formatting, such as Greek letters, italics, super- and subscripts, may be used: the coding scheme for such elements must be consistent throughout. Authors are responsible for applying for permission for both print and electronic rights for all borrowed materials and are responsible for paying any fees related to the applications of these permissions.
Please be sure to include an accurate address (including US zip code, or postal code for other countries) for editorial communications and for reprint requests.
A brief structured abstract of the paper with the headings Background/Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions should precede the body of the paper, to run no more than 200 words, and to replace any summary section at the end of the article. Case Reports should contain a brief unstructured abstract. Following the abstract should appear several words for the purposes of indexing to be titled: INDEX WORDS. The body of the paper should lead off with a minimum of 2 to 5 sentences, setting the general train of thought, before any headings.
Measurements should be in the metric system.
Illustrations and tables
Figures and tables should be cited in order in the text; their position should be marked in the margin of the manuscript. Arabic numbering should be used for both figures and tables. All line drawings should be submitted in quadruplicate as clear, glossy, black and white, 5" x 7" photographs. Photomicrographs should also be submitted in quadruplicate, with allowance made for the effects of reduction if necessary. Legends for illustrations should be typewritten, double-spaced, on a separate sheet, and included at the end of the manuscript. A legend must accompany each illustration.
Electronic Submission of Illustrations: Figures may be submitted in electronic format. Images should be provided in EPS or TIF format on Zip disk, CD, floppy, Jaz, or 3.5 MO. Graphics software such as Photoshop and Illustrator, not presentation software such as PowerPoint, CorelDraw, or Harvard Graphics, should be used to create the art. Color images must be CMYK, at least 300 DPI, with a digital color proof, not a color laser print or color photocopy (this proof will be used at press for color reproduction). Gray scale images should be at least 300 DPI and accompanied by a proof. Combinations of gray scale and line art should be at least 1200 DPI and accompanied by a proof. Line art (black and white or color) should be at least 1200 DPI and accompanied by a proof. Please include hardware and software information, in addition to the file names.
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and appropriately numbered. Legends should be typed on the same sheets as the tables. The contributor must bear all costs connected with printing color illustrations.
References
References should be compiled at the end of the article according to the order of citation in the text, not alphabetically. They should be typewritten, double-spaced, under the heading REFERENCES. All reference information must be accurate. Abbreviations for titles of medical periodicals should conform to those used in the latest edition of Index Medicus. Give inclusive page numbers.
