About the journal
Sexually Transmitted Diseases publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on clinical, laboratory, immunologic, epidemiologic, sociologic, and historical topics pertaining to sexually transmitted diseases and related fields. Reports from the CDC and NIH provide up-to-the-minute information. A highly respected editorial board is composed of prominent scientists who are leaders in this rapidly changing field. Included in each issue are studies and developments from around the world.
Instructions to Authors

ETHICAL/LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
A submission must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract or a preliminary report), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if accepted, must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the study to a significant extent. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the Journal, its editors, or the publisher
Patient anonymity and informed consent: It is the author's responsibility to ensure that a patient's anonymity be carefully protected and to verify that any experimental investigation with human subjects reported in the manuscript was performed with informed consent and following all the guidelines for experimental investigation with human subjects required by the institution(s) with which all the authors are affiliated. Authors should mask patients' eyes and remove patients' names from figures unless they obtain written consent from the patients and submit written consent with the manuscript.
Permissions: Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source. Any permissions fees that might be required by the copyright owner are the responsibility of the authors requesting use of the borrowed material, not the responsibility of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
For submissions, all text should be double-spaced. Font size should be no smaller than 12 pt. Number all pages in sequence, including the abstract, text, references, tables and figures.
Copyright: From the web site, download the "Authorship Responsibility, Financial Disclosure, and Copyright Transfer" form. Fill in the information on the article title, corresponding author, mailing address, telephone/fax numbers. Authors must sign the form and submit it at the time of manuscript submission: either on-line (a scanned copy of the signed copyright) or off-line (faxed or mailed to the STD Editorial Office).
ORGANIZATION AND FORMAT
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review.
Original Articles
Title page: Must contain the following information (a) complete manuscript title; (b) authors' full names, highest academic degrees, and affiliations; (c) name and address for correspondence, including fax number, telephone number, and e-mail address; (d) address for reprints if different from that of corresponding author; and (e) all sources of support, including pharmaceutical and industry support, that require acknowledgment.
Short summary: A brief summary of your findings is needed for the Table of Contents. Limit the summary to a few sentences (<30 words). For example:
A study of clients in an STD clinic in Malibu, California found that women with chlamydial infection were younger than women with gonorrhea and were less likely to have multiple partners.
Abstract: Limit the abstract to 150 words. Do not cite references in the abstract. Limit the use of abbreviations and acronyms. Use the following subheads: Objectives, Goal, Study Design, Results, and Conclusions. List three to five key words.
Text: Organize the manuscript into four main headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. References, figures and tables should follow. Define abbreviations at first mention in text and in each table and figure. If a brand name is cited, supply the manufacturer's name and address (city and state/country).
Abbreviations: For a list of standard abbreviations, consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Guide (available from the Council of Science Editors, 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814) or other standard sources. Write out the full term for each abbreviation at its first use unless it is a standard unit of measure.
References: The authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. Key the references (double-spaced) at the end of the manuscript. Number the references in text in the order of appearance. Cite unpublished data--such as papers submitted but not yet accepted for publication and personal communications, including e-mail communications--in parentheses in the text. If there are more than three authors, name only the first three authors and then use et al. Refer to the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus for abbreviations of journal names, or access the list at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lji.html. Sample references are given below:

Photographs/Figures: Art should be created/scanned and saved and submitted as either a TIFF (tagged image file format), an EPS (encapsulated PostScript) file, or a PPT (PowerPoint) file. Line art must have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi (dots per inch), and electronic photographs--radiographs, CT scans, and so on--and scanned images must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. If fonts are used in the artwork, they must be converted to paths or outlines or they must be embedded in the files. Color images must be created/scanned and saved and submitted as CMYK files. Please note that artwork generated from office suite programs such CorelDRAW and MS Word and artwork downloaded from the Internet (JPEG or GIF files) cannot be used. Cite figures consecutively on the site, and number them in the order in which they are discussed. All electronic art that cannot be successfully uploaded must be submitted on a 31/2-inch high-density disk, a CD-ROM, or an Iomega Zip disk, accompanied by high-resolution laser prints of each image.
Figure legends: Include legends for all figures. They should be brief and specific, and they should appear on a separate manuscript page after the references. Use scale markers in the image for electron micrographs, and indicate the type of stain used.
Color figures: The journal accepts for publication color figures/photographs that will enhance an article. Authors who submit color figures will receive an estimate of the cost for color reproduction. If they decide not to pay for color reproduction, they can request that the figures be converted to black and white at no charge.
Tables: Create tables using the table creating and editing feature of your word processing software (eg, Word, WordPerfect). Do not use Excel or comparable spreadsheet programs. Group all tables in a separate file. Cite tables consecutively in the text, and number them in that order. Each table should appear on a separate sheet and should include the table title, appropriate column heads, and explanatory legends (including definitions of any abbreviations used). Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript. They should be self-explanatory and should supplement, rather than duplicate, the material in the text.
Style: Pattern manuscript style after the American Medical Association Manual of Style (9th edition). Stedman's Medical Dictionary (27th edition) and Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition) should be used as standard references. Refer to drugs and therapeutic agents by their accepted generic or chemical names, and do not abbreviate them. The name should not be abbreviated. Use code numbers only when a generic name is not yet available. In that case, supply the chemical name and a figure.
Notes
These are brief articles that do not warrant a full-length paper, usually not more than 1,500 words. A title page is required. Notes do not have an abstract or a short summary. All text should be in one section. Several paragraphs are permissible. Separate headings (Introduction, Materials and Methods, etc.) should not be used. The number of figures and tables should be kept to a minimum. The reference section is the same as for original articles.
Reviews
A title page and short summary are required. Abstract (do not use separate subheads) should be approximately 100-150 words that summarize the basic content of the review. The reference section is the same as for original articles.

It is recommend that unsolicited Editorials be discussed with the Editor prior to submission. If accepted for publication, an uninvited submission will be published as a Commentary. Limit the Editorial to approximately 1500 words. The reference section is the same as for original articles.
Letters
A letter should not exceed 500 words. A title page is required. Do not submit an abstract or short summary. For letters commenting on recently published articles, the letter should reference the particular article. The reference section should be kept to a minimum.

After Acceptance
Page proofs and corrections: Corresponding authors will receive electronic page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. Portable document format (PDF) files of the typeset pages and support documents (eg, reprint order form) will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. Complete instructions will be provided with the e-mail for downloading and printing the files and for faxing the corrected page proofs to the publisher. Those authors without an e-mail address will receive traditional page proofs. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs. Changes that have been made to conform to journal style will stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Only the most critical changes to the accuracy of the content will be made. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material would be disallowed. The publisher reserves the right to deny any changes that do not affect the accuracy of the content. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those required to correct errors or to answer queries. Proofs must be checked carefully and corrections faxed within 24 to 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the cover letter accompanying the page proofs.
Reprints: Authors will receive a reprint order form and a price list with the page proofs. Reprint requests should be faxed to the publisher with the corrected proofs, if possible. Reprints are normally shipped 6 to 8 weeks after publication of the issue in which the item appears. Contact the Reprint Department, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 351 W. Camden Street, Baltimore, MD 21201-2436 with any questions.
Publisher's contact: Fax corrected page proofs, reprint order form, and any other related materials to Proof Manager, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 410-691-6235.
