About the journal
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health publishes peer-reviewed research into public health, relevant to researchers, practitioners and policy makers. The Journal has a major focus on Australia and New Zealand but articles from other countries are accepted provided that the implications for Australia and New Zealand are addressed. Authors from Australia and New Zealand are encouraged to locate their papers in the international literature. The Journal is multidisciplinary and aims to publish methodologically sound research from any of the academic disciplines that constitute public health. Articles on research methods and policy development are welcomed.

Instructions to Authors
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health is concerned with public health issues. Authors are encouraged to place their work in the wider context of public health. Reports of finished research projects are the Journal's staple diet, but reviews, commentaries, methodological notes and brief research reports are also considered. While the focus is on Australia and New Zealand, papers from other countries are welcomed if the implications for Australia and New Zealand, or for international health, are addressed.
Contributors come from almost all of the human, natural and social science disciplines. The research reports can cover formal epidemiological inquiries into the correlates and causes of diseases and health-related behaviour, analyses of public policy affecting health and disease, and detailed studies of the cultures and social structures within which health and illness exist. The material must be original and not published or under consideration elsewhere.
Submission procedure
Manuscripts are subject to assessment by independent referees and editorial revision. When a submitted manuscript is received, it is given a reference number and an acknowledgment is sent to the corresponding author. Please quote this number when making any further queries about the paper. The appropriateness of the topic area and treatment is then considered by the Editors, sometimes with advice from members of the Editorial Board. If appropriate, the manuscript is sent for review, generally by two or three referees. A decision, including referees' comments, is usually sent to the authors within two or three months. The paper may be accepted or rejected, or authors may be invited to revise the paper and resubmit it. In the latter case, the Journal does not undertake to publish the paper as pressure of space may make acceptance and publication impossible.
Length: Brief, pithy articles are preferred to long, wordy ones. Nevertheless, a paper with a complete description of a study, including conceptual development, validation of methods, process issues, outcomes and long-term implications, has a better chance of acceptance than a paper covering only one or two of these aspects.
The following are guidelines for submission: If authors wish to go outside these guidelines, the reasons for doing so should be stated in the submission letter. These reasons will be provided to reviewers for their comment. The Editors reserve the right to accept submissions outside these guidelines.
Long Articles and Commentaries: The focus is on articles reporting original research, on detailed original commentaries and on reviews of a substantive field.
These papers should be equivalent of up to seven Journal pages (including abstracts, references and tables). A page contains about 1,000 words of solid text. Total word counts should be adjusted to allow for space taken by tables and/or figures. Most figures are the equivalent of approximately 300 words.
Brief Articles and Commentaries: the equivalent of up to three Journal pages (including abstract, references and tables), i.e. less than 3,000 words.
Letter to the Editor: Up to one Journal page (1,000 words, including references and tables).
Editorial: 1-2 Journal pages (1,000-2,000 words, including references and tables).
Presenting your manuscript
Authors intending to submit a paper should read the general guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication', available on http://www.icmje.org. They might also like to adapt the advice given to clinical researchers in Guyatt GH & Haynes RB. Preparing reports for publication and responding to reviewers' comment. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 59 (2006) 900-906.
The inclusion of an abstract that accurately represents the argument and finding of an article has become more important because this is what appears in electronic databases. ANZJPH uses the structured abstract of Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusion, Implications. Where unsuitable, the alternative format is Objective, Approach, Conclusion, Implications. 4 or 5 key words are required to describe the main focus of the paper. As these are used for cross-indexing between articles and journals, where possible use Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) from Index Medicus.
ANZJPH now accepts electronic as well as print submission. Submit files to anzjph@substitution.com.au.
A submission letter is required in either case, stating the title of the article and listing all authors of the paper, their affiliations and their email addresses. The corresponding author must be identified and name, address, e-mail and telephone numbers provided. A printed copy of this letter, with all authors' signatures and their e-mail contact details, should be mailed to the ANZJPH at PO Box 351, North Melbourne, Victoria 3051.
The author(s) should state in the submission letter that the material has not been previously published and is not under consideration for any other publication. Presentation of the paper at a conference, in a lecture or as a thesis submitted for academic qualification does not preclude publication in this Journal. If there are published papers from the same study and there is overlap in content, a copy of the manuscript(s) must accompany the submission.
Either in the submission letter or in the manuscript itself, a statement is required to say that the study on which the article is based was conducted under appropriate ethical review - see http://www.icmje.org/ II.F. Protection of Human Subjects and Animals in Research. Individual and community involvement should be reported in research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Authors should acknowledge in the submission letter any potential sources of conflicts of interest such as the source of funding for the research, consultancies, and personal or professional relationships that might constitute a source of bias. In keeping with PHAA policy, authors are required to sign a declaration that: 'This work was conducted without any financial or other support or assistance from any tobacco company or individual or entity acting on behalf of the tobacco industry.'
The electronic file of the manuscript should be in English using a format compatible with Microsoft Word for Windows (PC), in a standard font. Include a title page, 200 word abstract, manuscript text and references. (Editorials and Letters to the Editor are the only submissions that do not require an abstract). Number all pages consecutively, including abstract, text, acknowledgments, references. Please do not: (i) use more than three levels of sub-heading, (ii) type text or headings in capitals, or (iii) use footnotes or endnotes for parenthetical matter - include it in the text or delete it.
Tables and graphics should be submitted in a separate file, labelled with suitable captions. Graphics should be in a suitable format to provide clear, high resolution images in print.
Where there is substantial supplemental material, including extensive statistical tables and original questionnaires, we encourage you to make this material available on the website of your institution and provide a link to this material in the article.
The reference system used by ANZJPH is that recommended by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and commonly known as 'Vancouver style'. References are numbered in the text in the order in which they are first cited, and listed after the text of the manuscript in that order. An individual reference carries the same number each time it is cited and therefore appears in the list of references just once; 'ibid' and 'op cit' are not used. Please do not use automatic numbering of references. Examples of how to cite sources of various kinds are available from the Journal office (e-mail anzjph@substitution.com.au) or can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com.

All correspondence, including the Editors' decision and request for revisions, will be by e-mail.
Revision
Papers are very rarely accepted as submitted, some are rejected as unsuitable, the majority are sent for review. A 'double blind' review process (the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers and vice versa) is used. Please assist us in this by avoiding the use of names or information in the body of the paper that directly identifies the authors. Such information should be on the title page, which is not sent to reviewers.
After review, papers may be rejected or the authors will be asked to revise the original manuscript. In a revision, all reviewers' comments must be addressed. Changes in the text must be identified by page and paragraph in a letter of response. This letter should also provide reasons why any review comments have not been addressed. A 'track change' copy of the manuscript is not sufficient.
Revisions are assessed by the Editors and the corresponding author informed of the decision.
After copy-editing and layout, a PDF version of the page proofs is sent to the corresponding author with a request for sign-off to press.
EARLY VIEW
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Therefore, articles are made available as soon as they are ready, rather than being held for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at http://www.doi.org/faq.html.
