Revisions
Authors submitting revised manuscripts should follow the instructions above to submit through the SAGETRACK system. However, if the first versions were submitted prior to SAGETRACK, the system will not know automatically about the previous version. In such cases, authors should check the 'Has this manuscript been submitted previously?' box and give the previous manuscript number in the space below. (If the previous version was submitted through the SAGETRACK system, following the instructions to submit a revised manuscript will automatically associate your revised version with the original submission) Authors of all revised submissions should when prompted provide information explaining the changes in your manuscript. As this will be provided to reviewers it is important that authors do not identify themselves in these responses.
Peer Review Policy
Journal of Child Health Care operates a strictly blinded peer review process in which the reviewer’s name is withheld from the author and, the author’s name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed.
Peer Review Process: Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is generally reached within (eg) 4-6 weeks of submission
Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. Authors should expect to have reviewer’s comments within approximately (eg) 6 weeks. In general, Editors will seek advice from two or more expert reviewers about the scientific content and presentation of submitted articles.
All manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editors and only those papers that meet the scientific and editorial standards of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal, will be sent for outside review.
General guidelines
1. Each paper submitted, if considered suitable by the Editor, will be refereed by at least two anonymous referees. The editor may recommend revision and re-submission.
2. Length of papers. Manuscripts should ideally be between 3000 and 3500 words long. Abstracts should be between 100 and 150 words.
3. In order to protect the identity of children, families and staff, authors should use pseudonyms and remove any information leading to identification of any of the individuals described in the study.
4. Quotations. Lengthy quotations (over 40 words) should be displayed and indented in the text.
5. American or UK spellings may be used. Dates should be in the form `9 May 2006'. Delete points from 'USA' and other such abbreviations.
6. Tables. Each table needs a short descriptive title above it. Column headings should clearly define the data presented. If necessary, suitably identified footnotes should be included below. Take care to include all the units of measurement. The table needs to be cited in the text.
7. Figures. Line drawings should be presented as EPS files (all fonts embedded) or TIFF files. Resolution should be 800dpi, and only black-and-white figures are published.
8. References in the text should be presented in the Harvard system, namely the author's name and year of publication in brackets, together with the page numbers. For example `As Booth (1994, pp. 22-23) has observed …', or, in a more general reference: `Booth (1994) appears to be saying...'.
9. Reference list. The references should be listed alphabetically in full at the end of the paper, typed double spaced for ease of editing, in the following style:
