About the journal
The International Journal of STD & AIDS publishes clinically oriented papers on both the traditional sexually transmissible diseases (STD) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) which contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these fields. Contributions in the following categories are published: editorial reviews, original articles, case reports, papers on the history of the specialty, book reviews and letters to the Editor. All manuscripts are reviewed by independent referees, and the final decision on acceptance or rejection remains with the Editor. In the event of an author disputing the Editor's decision, Dr A McMillan (GUM Department, The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9YW, Scotland) will act as ombudsman.

ReferencesOnly essential references should be included, and authors should verify them against the original documents. The 'Vancouver' style is used: references should be identified in the text by superior arabic numerals, and be numbered and listed consecutively at the end of the manuscript in the order in which they are first cited in the text.
References should include: names and initials of all authors (unless more than 6, when only the first 3 are given followed by et al.); the title of the paper; the journal title abbreviated as in Index Medicus; year of publication; volume number; first and last page numbers. References to books should give the book title, place of publication, publisher and year; those of mutliple authorship should also include the chapter title, first and last page numbers, and the names and initials of editors.

Papers accepted but not yet published should be included in the references followed by '(in press)'. Those in preparation, personal communications and unpublished observations should be referred to as such in the text only.
TablesTables should not duplicate information given in the text. They should be numbered in the order in which they are mentioned in the text (e.g. Table 3), be given a brief title, and each be typed on a separate sheet in double spacing. Vertical rules should not be used.
IllustrationsIllustrations should be numbered in the order in which they are mentioned in the text (e.g. Figure 2). Each should have an explanatory caption typed in double spacing on a separate sheet. Staining techniques and the magnification of micrographs should be stated, and arrows/abbreviations explained. Any illustrations previously published should be accompanied by the written consent of the copyright holder to republication, an acknowledgement included in the caption, and the full reference included in the list.
All illustrations must be provided in camera-ready form, with redundant areas trimmed; the figure number, author's name and the top/bottom should be marked on the back. They should be professionally drawn, labelled and photographed; freehand lettering is not acceptable. Lettering/numbering should be sufficiently large to ensure legibility after reduction for publication. Line drawings may be submitted as original artwork or photographic prints; all other illustrations should be black and white photographic prints, and photomicrographs must have internal scale markers. One set of black and white photographs should be supplied for any images on a disk that are not 'line' drawings. Figures may be reduced, cropped or deleted at the discretion of the Editor.
Proofs and Offprints
Proofs will be sent to the author designated to receive them, and corrections should be kept to a minimum. Twenty-five offprints of each article will be supplied free of charge, and additional offprints may be ordered from the publisher when the proofs are returned.
