Instructions to Authors
Original papers in English will be considered for publication provided that they have not been published previously and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Following peer review, any submissions accepted will be subject to editorial revision.
Declaration. An article will be published only if the following declaration has been received: I . . . . . . . , senior author of the paper entitled . . . . . . , which I have submitted for publication in Annals of Tropical Paediatrics: International Child Health, hereby agree that, if it is accepted for publication in the Journal, the copyright of the paper shall become the property of The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine who may on request licence me to reproduce the paper or any part thereof without requiring any payment in respect thereof, provided that a full acknowledgment to The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine accompanies each reproduction. Any co-authors have seen this article and have agreed that it be submitted for publication in the Journal.
Date . . . . . . . . Signature . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The following instructions relating to submissions must be adhered to. Failure to conform can lead to delay in publication.
Preferred method of submission. Manuscripts may be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief by post (Professor R. G. Hendrickse, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5QA, UK). A submission should consist of one full paper copy, two sets of any figures and an IBM-compatible disk containing the relevant files. There should be one file for the text of the paper (which includes tables, set using cells rather than tabs, and figure legends) and one for each of the figures. Any of the more common word-processing formats (e.g. Word or WordPerfect) should be used for the text file. Files containing figures should be in their original, fully editable format (e.g. Excel, SPSS, Harvard Graphics, Powerpoint). Greyscale or full-colour photographs should be sent only as hard copy. The signed declaration should accompany the submission.
Alternative methods. Completely electronic submissions, sent by e-mail to vcoulter@liv.ac.uk, will also be accepted; the declaration and high-quality prints of any photographs, however, should be sent by letter post. Authors without computing facilities may submit three full paper copies with no disk but including the signed declaration.
Typescript. When preparing manuscripts, authors will find it helpful to refer to back copies of the journal. Text should be on one side of A4 paper, left-justified and double-spaced. The first page should carry the title of the paper, name(s) and affiliations of the author(s) and name and address of the corresponding author with, when possible, a fax number and e-mail address; failure to supply an e-mail address or fax number is likely to delay publication. A short running title should also be supplied. A single-paragraph summary of not more than 200 words outlining the purpose and methods of the work, important findings and conclusions must be supplied on a separate sheet. The text, starting on a new page, should be presented under appropriate headings: Introduction, Materials (or Patients) and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, References. In general, abbreviations should not be used without explanation the first time they occur and SI units should be used wherever possible.
Statistical methods will be assessed by specialist referees. Authors are referred to: Altman DG, Gore SM, Gardner MJ, Pocock SJ. Statistical guidelines for contributors to medical journals. Br Med J 1983; 286:1489-93. The symbol ?must not be used; use median (SD) instead.
Tables should be typed on separate sheets, numbered with Arabic numerals, and a heading for each provided. As mentioned above, they should be set using cells rather than tabs. Any footnotes should be typed beneath the body of the table. Vertical rules should be avoided.
Illustrations. Figures and plates should be used only when necessary to illustrate particular structures or conditions, to summarize data or to record quantitative results. They should be numbered with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited and their approximate position indicated in the margin of the text. Photographs should be supplied as high-contrast, glossy prints. Special attention should be paid to clarity of all figures.  ,  ,  ,  ,  and  are the preferred symbols on line graphs. Units involving multiplication (e.g. eggs/g faeces?0-3) should be avoided, either by converting the units (eggs/mg faeces) or by renumbering the relevant axis. Each illustration should be clearly labelled on the back with its figure number, the paper title and the name(s) of the author(s); the top of the illustration should also be indicated. Legends for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet, not on the illustrations themselves. Subject to editorial discretion, up to 16 pages of each issue may carry colour figures free of charge to the authors.
References should be indicated by superscripted numerals in the text (e.g. '卙as been reported.1'; or ' ?, as shown by Soter.2), numbered in the order in which they are first mentioned, and should be listed in numerical order on a separate sheet at the end of the paper. References cited only in tables or illustrations should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by their first mention in the text. Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to Index Medicus or given in full. References must include: (i) all authors' surnames and initials (if there are six authors or fewer) or (if there are seven or more) the first three authors, followed by '. . , et al.'; (ii) the full title of the paper; (iii) the title of the journal; (iv) the year of publication; (v) the volume number; (vi) the first and last page numbers. Citation of chapters in books should include the author(s) and title of the chapter, editors' names, title of the book, city of publication, name of publisher, year of publication and page nos if appropriate.

1 Dempster WS, Heese HdeV, Pocock FH, Kirsten G, Watermeyer S. Ferritin levels in human milk. Ann Trop Paediatr 1986; 3:209-12.
2 Cotter JM, Schwartz AD. Psychological and social support of the patient and family. In: Altman AJ, Schwartz AD, eds. Malignant Disease of Infancy, Childhood and Adolescence. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 1983; 129-35.
Rejected manuscripts will be held for 6 months before shredding. In exceptional circumstances, the top copy will be returned if requested before that time has elapsed.
Offprints. Twenty-five offprints of each paper are supplied free of charge. Additional copies may be purchased and should be ordered when the proofs are returned. Offprints and a complete copy of the relevant journal issue will be sent about 3 weeks after publication.

This ensures full copyright protection and dissemination of the article, and the journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats, as appropriate.
