About the journal
Pediatric and Developmental Pathology is designed for the timely communication of peer-reviewed studies which provide significant new information or insights into the pathophysiology of the developing human embryo, fetus, and child. Contributions are reviewed and selected by a group of distinguished referees from around the world, some of whom constitute the journal's Editorial Board. The journal covers the spectrum of disorders of early development (including embryology, placentology, and teratology), gestational and perinatal diseases, and all diseases of childhood. Studies may be in any field of experimental, anatomic, or clinical pathology, including molecular pathology. Case reports are published only if they provide new insights into disease mechanisms or new information. Each issue includes one current, comprehensive review article of a critical topic in pediatric pathology, solicited, reviewed, and edited by the Editorial Board of "Perspectives."
|
Editorials, biographical sketches, historical notes, annotated bibliographies, updates on pediatric cancer protocols, book reviews, laboratory or practice management, and letters are published at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. Appropriately peer-reviewed abstracts of pediatric pathology meetings are published by prior arrangement between the society sponsoring the abstracts and the Society for Pediatric Pathology's Publications Committee. |

If there are more than six authors, the specific contribution of each must be indicated in the cover letter. Also provide a running head (not to exceed 40 characters), and indicate any acknowledgments of grant support. 
 Abstract. An abstract of not more than 250 words should be placed on a separate page immediately following the title page. It should be a factual, not descriptive, statement of study objectives, methods, principal results, and conclusions. Include up to six key words in alphabetical order. Use Index Medicus terms from medical subject headings where possible. 
 Text. The text should be organized into an Introduction, including the background and purpose of the study, and then into Methods, Results, and Discussion. 
 Acknowledgments. A brief statement on a separate page should acknowledge individuals who were of direct help in the reported work, immediately following the text. 
 References. References must be typed double-spaced and be numbered in the order of citation in the text. Once a reference has been cited, all subsequent citations should be to the original number. All references must be cited in the text or tables. Unpublished data and personal communications are not acceptable references. Papers that have been accepted but not yet published are acceptable as along as a preprint accompanies the manuscript. All references must be verified against the original documents. Abbreviations of journals must conform to the list of journals indexed in Index Medicus. Follow the Vancouver convention for citation:

 Chapter in a book. References to a book should include surnames and initials of author(s), chapter title, editor(s), book title, city, publisher, year, volume, section (if applicable), and inclusive pagination. An example follows: 
 Thurlbeck WM. Respiratory System. In: Dimmick JE, Kalousek DK, eds. Developmental Pathology of the Embryo and Fetus. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1992;437-466. 
 Papers in conference proceedings or abstracts. These references should include surnames and initials of author(s), title, name of conference, city, publisher, year, and inclusive pagination. Examples follow:

 Polendo R, Lowe GN, McDougall S, Hahn TJ. Mechanism of prostaglandin regulation of proteoglycan synthesis in rat chondrocytic cells (abstract). J Bone Miner Res 1994;9:S187.
 Tables. Each table should be typed double spaced on a separate page, numbered consecutively, and given a brief title; all tables must be cited in the text.
 Figures. Legends for figures should be typed double spaced beginning on a separate page. All figures must be cited in the text. Figures should be professionally drawn and/or photographed, submitted as black and white high-quality glossy prints. Special attention should be paid to contrast and focus. Do not submit original artwork. Symbols,s and numbers must be of sufficient size and contrast to be clearly recognizable when the figures is reduced to publication size. Label the back of each figure with its number, name of first author, and preferred orientation. Optimal size for figures is 8.5 x 10 cm (3 1/4 x 4 in). Figures submitted in electronic form must be accompanied by glossy prints. Submit tiff and Illustrator eps files of high resolution on ZIP or floppy disks.
 We encourage the submission of supplemental materials to be made available for retrieval by readers in the online version of the journal. Videos and other lengthy materials not suitable for printed publication may also be submitted for possible inclusion on the journal's web site, LINK. A limited number of color illustrations will be considered for publication with a text article, but the author may be required to bear some or all of the cost. The cost structure for color figures is as follows: $1150 for the first page and $575 for each page thereafter. Color can be used without charge for the electronic edition. Artwork to accepted manuscripts will not be returned unless a written request accompanies the page proofs.
 Abbreviations, spelling and units. Standard abbreviations and units listed in Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Sixth Edition, Reston, VA: Council of Biology Editors, 1994, should be used. All quantitative measurements should be in conventional metric units, followed when appropriate by the SI unit in parentheses (Clin Chem 25: 657-658, 1979. National Committee of Clinical Laboratory Standards Position Paper PPC-11, 1979).

 Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
 General
 Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
 Vector (line) Graphics
 Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
 Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
 No rules narrower than .25 pt.
 No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%. 
 Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
 Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
 Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
 Halftone Illustrations
 Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
 Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
 Scans*
 Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
 Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
 Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
 * We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
 Graphics from Videos
 Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
 Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
 Video
 Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
 No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
