About the journal
The Journal of Public Health Dentistry is devoted to the advancement of public health dentistry through the exploration of related research, practice, and policy developments. Three main types of articles are published: original research articles that provide a significant contribution to knowledge in the breadth of dental public health, including oral epidemiology, dental health services, the behavioral sciences, and the public health practice areas of assessment, policy development, and assurance; methods articles that report the development and testing of new approaches to research design, data collection and analysis, or the delivery of public health services; and review articles that synthesize previous research in the discipline and provide guidance to others conducting research as well as to policy makers, managers, and other dental publics health practitioners.
Instructions to Authors
Journal of Public Health Dentistry
Instructions for Contributors
The Journal of Public Health Dentistry - JPHD is devoted to the advancement of public health dentistry through the exploration of related research, practice, and policy developments. We publish original research articles, brief reports, review articles, research methods articles, community action reports, special issues, guest editorials and commentaries, letters to the editor, and book reviews. Regular-length scientific articles should be between 2,500 and 3,500 words in length, with no more than six tables or figures and fewer than 30 references (estimated to be a total of 21 or fewer double-space pages). Review articles are similar in length but with different expectations regarding references and tables. Brief Communications are 1,000-1,500 words, no more than two tables or figures, an abstract of 150 words or less, and 10 or fewer references. Brief Communications, commentaries, and review articles undergo peer review similar to regular scientific manuscripts. Community Action Reports, highlighting practice-based programs or policy initiatives, commentaries, and guest editorials of widespread interest to the dental public health community are 1,000-1,500 words. Special Issues and Supplements to regular issues may be published, the full cost being paid by the authors or sponsoring agency. Contact the editor for further information.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Submissions must be in English and conform to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. The complete document appears in Ann Intern Med 1997;126(1):36-47; or online at http://www.acponline.org/journals/resource/unifreqr.htm. Type the manuscript on one side of white, regular-sized paper with margins of at least 25 mm (1 in). Use double-spacing throughout, including title pages, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, tables, and legends for illustrations. Begin each of the following sections on separate pages: first title page, second title page, abstract and key words, text, acknowledgments, references, individual tables, and legends. Number pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner of each page, beginning with the title page. Our reference book is Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary (Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster, 1983).
Format and Style of Scientific Articles
Title Page. This page includes: (1) the title of the article; (2) first name, middle initial, and last name of each author, with highest academic degrees(s); (3) name of department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed; (4) disclaimers, if any; (5) name and postal, e-mail, organization's homepage addresses of author responsible for correspondence; (6) name and address of author to whom requests for reprints should be addressed, or statement that reprints will not be available; (7) source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these; (8) name of group and date and place of presentation, if paper was previously presented orally or as a poster; (9) word count, including abstract, text, and references; and (10) number of tables or figures.
Second Title Page. To facilitate the masked review process, include a second title page giving only the title of the manuscript and not identifying authorship. Authors' names should not appear on any manuscript page other than the first title page.
Abstract. The second page should carry an abstract of no more than 250 words consisting of four paragraphs, labeled Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. These sections should describe the problem being addressed in the study, how the study was performed, the salient results (without statistical tests), and what the authors conclude from the results. Review papers should include a summary, rather than an abstract.
Key Words. Below the abstract, provide, and identify as such, three to 10 key words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross-indexing your article. Use terms from the Medical Subject Headings in Index Medicus and Dental Descriptors in Index to Dental Literature when possible.
Text. Divide text of scientific articles into sections labeled Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. For other types of articles, consult recent issues of the JPHD for further guidance. Avoid the use of acronyms that are not widely accepted in the field.
Introduction. Clearly state the purpose of the article and summarize the rationale for the study. Give only strictly pertinent references, and do not review the subject extensively.
Methods. Describe your methods clearly and in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods; 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. When reporting investigations involving human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation.
Results. Present results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations. Results, not in table, should be so noted.
Discussion. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that follow from them, particularly as these relate to public health. Do not repeat in detail data given in the Results section. Include in the Discussion the implications of the findings and their limitations, and relate the observations to other relevant studies. Avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by your data. State new hypotheses when warranted, but clearly label them as such. Include recommendations when appropriate.
Acknowledgments. Acknowledge only persons who have made substantive contributions to the study. Obtain written permission from persons acknowledged by name, because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions.
Footnotes and Appendices. Except in tables and figures, footnotes should not be used. Appendices usually are not needed because the author, upon request, can furnish additional material.
References. The author(s) must verify cited references against the original documents. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in parentheses; number consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Avoid using abstracts as references. Abstracts not published in the periodical literature (e.g., printed only in an annual meeting program) may be cited only as written communications in parentheses in the text. "Unpublished observations" and "personal communications" may not be used as references, although references to written, not oral, communications may be inserted (in parentheses) in the text. For papers accepted but not yet published; designate the journal and add "In press." Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observations" (in parentheses). Acceptable forms of references are based on an ANSI standard style adapted by the National Library of Medicine for its databases, the Index Medicus and in the Index to Dental Literature. Authors are encouraged to refer to the examples of reference styles provided in the Uniform Requirements. References for research manuscripts are limited to <30; for brief communications to ten or fewer. Review articles do not have a specific limitation on number of references.
Tables. Type each table on a separate page. Number tables with an Arabic numeral consecutively and supply a brief title for each. Explain in footnotes all nonstandard abbreviations used in each table. For footnotes, use the following symbols, in this sequence: *, †, ‡, ¶, §, •, , and #. Do not use horizontal or vertical rules. Cite each table in the text in consecutive order. (Due to the variety of display fonts, these characters may not display correctly. Please refer to the JPHD, Volume 60, No. 4, page 347-8 to confirm these characters if you plan to use these symbols.) Readability of tables is important, so rounding off numbers to an appropriate level and selective presentation of n's are important.
Illustrations and Legends. Submit the required number of complete sets of figures. Figures should be professionally drawn and photographed, although original high-quality, laser-printed illustrations also are acceptable. Label each figure indicating the number of the figure, the names of the authors, and the top of the figure. Cite each figure in the text in consecutive order. Type legend for illustrations double-spaced, starting on a separate page, with Arabic numerals corresponding to the illustrations. Report measurements in metric units or their decimal multiples. Figures should be saved in the most efficient form possible so the electronic files do not exceed standards of transmission of many educational institutions.
Publication
Prior and Duplicate Publication. Manuscripts are not accepted for consideration if they are based on work that has been or will be published or submitted elsewhere before appearing in the JPHD. Exceptions are consistent with the policy on duplicate or redundant publication developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors [JAMA 1993;270:2495]. Copies of any closely related manuscripts should be submitted to the editor along with the manuscript that is to be considered by the JPHD.
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. Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to: (1) conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of the data; and to (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and on (3) final approval of the version to be published. Conditions 1, 2, and 3 must all be met. The editor may ask authors to describe what each contributed; this information may be published.
Copyright Issues
JPHD encourages the posting of manuscripts resulting from NIH-funded research to PubMed Central (www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov) in order to promote public access to critical research findings. Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication in JPHD may post the final, edited version of the manuscript as soon as the printed journal version is distributed.
Submission of Manuscripts and Correspondence
Manuscripts should be Word or WordPerfect formats. Manuscripts, figures, and tables should not exceed 2KB, or it will be difficult to transmit to reviewers. Submissions should be via e-mail to: dustin@assn-srvs.com or copied to disk and mailed to:

A covering letter, signed by all authors, should be mailed or FAXED (217-529-9120) to be received at the same time as the manuscript. A scanned copy of a signed letter, sent electronically as a PDF, is also acceptable. It should include (1) information on prior or duplicate publication or submission elsewhere of any part of the work as defined in the Uniform Requirements; (2) a statement of financial or other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest; (3) a statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all the authors, that the requirements for authorship have been met, and that each author believes that the manuscript represents honest work; and (4) the name, address, and telephone number of the corresponding author who is responsible for communicating with the other authors about revisions and final approval of the proofs. A scanned copy of the signed letter may be sent electronically or mailed to the above address.
Review and Action
Manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt, reviewed by the editorial staff, and sent to at least two outside referees. Feedback from the referees is provided by the editor to the corresponding author. Accepted manuscripts are examined and editorial revisions likely will be made to add clarity and to conform to the JPHD style. Authors will be sent proofs prior to printing. Upon acceptance, papers become the permanent property of the JPHD and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the editor. The exception to this policy is when all authors are employees of the US government, in which case copyright cannot be assigned.
Page Charges
Page charges: Current page charges are US $150.00 for each page in excess of 7 printed journal pages (approximately 21 pages double-spaced typescript) inclusive of figures, tables and references.
NEW: Online Early
We are happy to announce that JPHD is now part of the Synergy OnlineEarly service. Articles will now be published on a regular basis online in advance of their appearance in a print issue. These articles are fully peer reviewed, edited, and complete - they only lack page numbers and volume/issue details - and are considered fully published from the date they first appear online. This date is shown with the article in the online table of contents. Because OnlineEarly articles are considered fully complete, please bear in mind that changes cannot be made to an article after the online publication date even if it is still yet to appear in print.
The articles are available as full text HTML or PDF and can be cited as references by using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers. For more information on DOIs, please see http://www.doi.org/faq.html.
To view all the articles currently available, please visit the journal homepage at http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/loi/JPHD and simply click on the "OnlineEarly" area at the top of the list of issues available to view. Upon print publication, the article will be removed from the OnlineEarly area and will appear instead in the relevant online issue, complete with page numbers and volume/issue details. No other changes will be made.
The implementation of OnlineEarly for JPHD represents our commitment to publishing articles as soon as possible for readers, reducing time to publication considerably without sacrificing quality or completeness.
