About the journal

The Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition (JHPN), incorporating the Journal of Diarrhoeal Diseases Research, is owned and published by the ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research.

 

 The ICDDR,B became the focal point of the world medical communities for developing oral rehydration therapy (ORT) which saves millions of lives each year. The Centre is an independent, international, non-profit organization for research, education, training, clinical services, and information dissemination. Located in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, it is the only truly international health research institution based in a developing country. The ICDDR,B is the first recipient of Gates Award for Global Health.

 

The vision is: all people, especially the poor, can become healthier and can reach their full potential through the application of new knowledge

 

The mission is to develop and promote realistic solutions to the major health, population and nutrition problems facing the poor people of Bangladesh and other settings

        

The Centre research activities now encompass a wide range of protocols with emphasis on nutrition, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, reproductive health, case management, vaccine evaluation, health systems research, and environmental health.


Instructions to Authors

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

 

Papers, written in English, are considered for publication, and should be submitted to: Managing Editor, Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition, ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research, Mohakhali, Dhaka 1212 GPO Box 128, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh. Manuscripts may be submitted in electronic format to: jhpn@icddrb.org. While submitting the manuscript, written approval (either in black and white or by email) of all authors must as well be submitted.

 

      While submitting the hard copy of the manuscript, an IBM formatted floppy diskette of 31/2?size containing the manuscript should be accompanied (mentioning file names, in Microsoft Word; figures can  be in Harvard Graphics or Excel).  The diskette should be in a diskette mailer or covered by thick board paper.

 

      The manuscript must be accompanied with copies of any permissions to reproduce published materials, to use illustrations or report-sensitive personal informa­tion of identifiable persons, or to name persons for their contributions.

 

MISSION

 

The mission of the Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition is to provide a forum for rapid publication of  new findings on issues pertinent to maternal, child and family health and related issues of population and nutrition. The articles in the Journal do not deal primarily with child-survival issues but encompass all age groups and stages of life, with emphasis on family health and development.

 

EDITORIAL POLICIES

 

The Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition has adopted the following editorial policies:

 

      The Journal puts emphasis on speedy publication. Most articles are published within four months of acceptance. There is no absolute rule against articles primarily dealing with industrialized countries; however, preference is given to the articles dealing with issues of developing countries.

 

      During the early phase of JHPN抯 predecessor杢he Journal of Diarrhoeal Diseases Research (JDDR)朿onsiderable editorial assistance was provided in an attempt to assist scientists whose first language was not English. This policy, albeit laudatory, is no longer practical and slows publication of the Journal. The manuscripts that are poorly written are returned without further examination. However, technical editing for grammatical flaws and inconsistency in style elements is done on the accepted papers.

 

      Public-health professionals sometimes report lessons they have learnt from their experience. Often these are important lessons and may be reported in working papers and monographs. While these may be valuable, they may also be biased, and the data may not have sufficient reliability. The Journal prefers articles on studies that are well-designed and substantiated by adequate and reliable data.

 

      To facilitate rapid publication of high-quality articles, the Journal has several section editors who review manuscripts in their areas of expertise. These sections include: Emerging Infections, Health Systems, Immunization, Nutrition, Population, and Reproductive Health.

 

The section headings may suggest narrowly-focused articles, but the Journal favours manuscripts that show interactions among different sections and cross-cutting of issues relating to broad aspects of health.

 

Type of papers published

 

The Journal publishes articles of authors from any part of the globe, but has a special interest in publishing original research of relevance to developing countries. It publishes original research articles, review articles, short reports, and letters on new findings (see Mission and Editorial policies above). Occasionally, the Journal carries an editorial perspec­tive. The aim is to explore diverse perspectives, and to offer opinions on controversial subjects.

 

      In principle, a review article should not exceed 6,500 words, and an original research article should not exceed 4,500 words, including the abstract, tables, figures, photographs, illustrations, references, and other appendices.  A short report  should not exceed 2,200 words, including abstract, tables, figures, and references.  Letters should be brief and to the point; tables can be included, but graphs and illustrations will not normally be used.  References must be kept to a minimum.

 

Acceptance of paper

 

All decisions to accept, revise, or refuse a paper will be made by the editors.

 

      Papers are accepted for publication provided these are submitted solely to the Journal of Health, Population and  Nutrition, and are subject to peer review and editorial revision.

 

     Statements and opinions expressed in review articles, original papers, short reports, letters, editorials, and supplements published in the Journal of Health, Population and  Nutrition are of the author(s) and not necessarily of the editors or the publisher; the editors and the publisher disclaim any responsibility or liability for such material. Neither the editors nor the publisher guarantee, or endorse any products or services advertised in this publication, nor guarantee any claims made by the manufacturer of such product or service.

ELECTRONIC ACCESS

 

The Journal is freely available through the Internet (http://www.icddrb.org/jhpn).

 

PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS

 

Manuscripts to be submitted by mail should be typed on white bond paper, 216x279 mm (8.5x11 in) or ISO A4 (212x297 mm) with margins of at least 25 mm (1 in).  Print only on one side of the paper.  Use double-spacing throughout, including the title page, abstract, text, acknowledge­ments, references, tables, and legends for illustrations. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page.  Type the page number in the upper or lower right-hand corner of each page with last/family name of the first author.

 

      The abstract/text should start on a separate page with the title on the top of the page without any authors?information. Photographs (unmounted) and transparen-cies should be placed in a heavy duty envelope. Manuscripts must be accompanied with a covering letter. This must include: (a) information on prior or dupli­cate publication or submission of any part of the work elsewhere; (b) a statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all authors (written approval must accompany); (c) the name, address, telephone, fax number, and email address of the corresponding author, who is responsible for communicating with other authors about revisions and final approval of the proofs.

 

Title page

 

The title page (first page) should carry: (a) the title of the article, which should be concise but informative; (b) a short running head or footline of no more than 40 characters placed at the foot of the title page; (c) first name, middle initial, and last name of each author, with highest academic degree(s), and institutional affiliation; (d) name of department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed; (e) disclaimers, if any; (f) sources of support in the form of grants, equip­ment, drugs, or all of these; (g) name and address of the author responsible for correspondence; (h) name and address of the author to whom requests for reprints should be addressed or statement that reprints are not available from the author(s).

 

Authorship

 

All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content of the article.

 

      Authorship credit should be based only on sub­stantial contributions to: (a) conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data; (b) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intel­lectual content; and (c) final approval of the version to be published.  Conditions (a), (b), and (c) must all be met.  Participation solely in the acquisi­tion of funding or collection of data does not justify authorship.  General supervision of the re­search group is also not sufficient for authorship. Any parts of an article critical to its main conclusions must be the responsibility of at least one author.

 

     A paper with corporate (collective) authorship must specify the key persons responsible for the arti­cle; others contributing to the work should be recog­nized separately (see 揂cknowledgements?.

 

Abstract and key words

 

The second page should carry an abstract of no more than 150 words.  The abstract should state the purposes of the study or investigation; basic proce­dures (selection of study subjects; observational and analytical methods); main findings (give specific data and their statistical signifi­cance, if possible); and the principal conclusions.  Emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations. Use only approved abbreviations.

 

      Below the abstract, provide and identify as such 3 to 10 key­ words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross indexing the article, and may be pub­lished with the abstract.  Key words or short phrases should be sufficient to describe the content of the text.  Use terms from the Medical Subject Headings list of the Index Medicus, NLM, USA; if suitable MeSH terms are not yet available for recently-introduced terms, present terms may be used.

 

Text

 

The text should be divided into sections with the following headings: Introduction,  Materi­als and Methods, Results, and Discussion.

 

Introduction:  The purpose(s) of the article should be clearly stated.  Summarize the rationale for the study or observation.  Give strictly pertinent references only, and do not review the subject extensively.  Do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.

 

Materials and Methods:  Describe your selection of the observational subjects clearly. Identify the methods, apparatus  (names and addresses of manufacturers in parenthesis), and procedures in suffi­cient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results.  Give references to established methods, including statistical methods (see below); provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but are not well- known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations.

 

Ethics: When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the committee on human experimentation of the institu­tion in which the experiments were done or in ac­cordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Do not use names of patients, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in any illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animal subjects, indicate whether the institution抯 or the national research council抯 guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.

 

Statistics:  Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. When possible, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence interval).  Avoid sole reliance on statistical hypothesis testing, such as the use of p value, which fails to convey important quantitative information. References for study design and statistical methods should be made to standard works (with pages stated) when possible rather than to papers where designs or methods were originally reported. Specify any general computer programmes used.

 

      Include general descriptions of methods in the  Materials and Methods section. When data are summarized in the Results section,  specify the statisti­cal methods used for analyzing them.  Restrict tables and figures to those needed to explain the argument and to assess its support.  Use graphs as an alternative to tables with many entries; do not duplicate data in graphs and tables.  Avoid non‑technical uses of technical terms in statistics, such as 憆andom?(which implies a randomizing device), 憂ormal,?憇ignificant,?慶orrelations,?and 憇ample.?Define statistical terms, abbreviations, and most symbols used.

 

Results: Present results of your study in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all data in the tables or illustra­tions, or both: emphasize or summarize only important observations.

 

Discussion: Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that follow from them.  Do not repeat in detail data or other material given in the Introduction section or the Results section. Include in the Discussion section the implications of the findings and their limitations, including implica­tions for future research.  Relate the observations to other relevant studies.  Link the conclusions with the goals of the study, but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by your data. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been completed.  State new hypotheses when warranted, but clearly label them as such.  Recom­mendations, when appropriate, may be included.

 

Acknowledgements

 

One or more statement(s) should specify: (a) contri­butions that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general support by a departmental chairman; (b) acknowledgements of technical help; (c) acknowledgements of financial and material support, specifying the nature of support; (d) financial relationships that may pose a conflict of interest.

 

      Persons who have contributed intellectually to the paper, but whose contributions do not justify au­thorship, may be named and their function or contri­bution described. Such persons must have given their permission to be named.  Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from persons acknowl­edged by name, because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions.

 

      Technical help should be acknowledged in a paragraph separate from those acknowledging other contributions.

 

References

 

Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by arabic numerals in parentheses.  References cited only in tables or in legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with a sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or illustration.  Use the style of the examples below, which are based on the formats used by the U.S. Na­tional Library of Medicine in the Index Medicus.  The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in the Index Medicus. Consult the List of Journals Indexed in the Index Medicus. Try to avoid using abstracts as references; 憉npublished observa­tions?and 憄ersonal communications?should not be used as references, although references to written, not oral, communications may be inserted (in parenthesis) in the text. Include among the references papers accepted but not yet published, designate the journal, and add 慽n press?(in parenthesis).

 

     The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents. Examples of correct forms of some references are given following page:

Tables

 

Type each table double spaced on a separate sheet. Do not submit tables as photographs. Number tables consecutively, and use a brief title for each. Mention in each column a short or abbreviated heading. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Explain in footnotes all non‑standard abbre­viations that are used in each table.  For footnotes, use these symbols in this sequence: *, ? ? ? ? **, 唵, 噰, etc. Identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard deviation (SD) and standard error of mean (SEM). Internal vertical rules should not be used. Cite each table in the text in consecutive order. If you use data from another pub­lished or unpublished source, obtain permission, and acknowledge fully.

 

Illustrations and legends for illustrations

 

Submit two original copies of complete sets of figures. Figures should be professionally drawn and photo­graphed or high-quality laser prints; freehand or type-written lettering is unaccept­able. Instead of original drawings, roentgeno­grams, and other materials, send sharp, glossy, high contrast, black and white photographic prints, usually 127x173 mm (5攛7? but no larger than 203x254 mm (8攛10?. Letters, numbers, and symbols should be clear and even throughout and of sufficient size that when reduced for publication each item will still be legible. Titles and detailed explanations should belong in the legends for illustrations, not on the illustrations themselves.

 

      Each figure should have a label pasted on its back indicating the number of the figure, author抯 name, and top of the figure. Do not write on the back of figures, scratch or mar them by using paper clips. Do not bend figures or mount them on card­board.

 

      Photomicrographs may have internal scale mark­ers. Symbols, arrows, or letters used in the photomi­crographs should contrast with the background.

 

      If photographs of persons are used, either the subjects must not be identifiable or their pictures must be accompanied by written permission to use the photographs.

 

      Figures should be numbered consecutively accord­ing to the order in which they have been first cited in the text.  If a figure has been published, acknowledge the original source, and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the materials. Permission is required, regardless of authorship or ownership by virtue of being the publisher, except for documents in the public domain. Colour photographs are not encouraged. But, if necessary,  colour photographs can be reproduced if paid by the author.

 

Legends for illustrations

 

Type legends for illustrations double-spaced, start­ing on a separate page with arabic numerals corre­sponding to the illustrations. When symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used for identifying parts of the illustrations, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend. Explain the internal scale, and identify method of staining in photomicrographs.

 

Units of measurements

 

Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in metric units (metre, kilogram, litre) or their decimal multiples. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius (e.g. 37 SC).  Editors may request that alternative or non‑SI units be added by the authors before publication.

 

Abbreviations and symbols

 

Use only standard abbreviations.  Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement.
