About the journal
The aim of Pediatric Transplantation is to publish original articles of the highest quality on clinical experience and basic research in transplantation of tissues and solid organs in infants, children and adolescents. The journal seeks to disseminate the latest information widely to all individuals involved in kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestine and stem cell (bone-marrow) transplantation. In addition, the journal publishes focused reviews on topics relevant to pediatric transplantation as well as timely editorial comment on controversial issues.
The scope of the journal includes involving clinical research, case-reports delineating universal clinical consequences and basic transplant immunobiology related to pediatric transplantation. Each issue contains Pediatric Transplant Grand Rounds which comprise reports from institutions worldwide aimed at sharing pertinent clinical information with those caring for pediatric transplant recipients.
The publication of a journal devoted to transplantation in infants, children and adolescents is extremely important because of the increasing clinical use of tissue and organ transplantation to resolve catastrophic circumstances not amenable to other therapeutic approaches. The journal serves the needs of pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, transplant surgeons, pediatric urologists, pediatric nephrologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric cardiologists, pediatric pulmonologists and pediatric haematologists/oncologists, all of whom will find great advantage in the timely updated information offered by the journal.

Manuscripts - The following rules are in agreement with "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals" accepted by the International Steering Committee.
Authors submitting a paper do so on the understanding that the work has not been published before, is not being considered for publication elsewhere, and has been read and approved by all authors. On acceptance of their paper, authors are required to submit a disk of the final version, together with a signed Copyright Assignment Form. To assist authors the editorial office will supply an appropriate CAF. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form from the journal website at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/caf_ptr.pdf. The submission of the manuscript by the authors means that the authors automatically agree to assign exclusive copyright to Blackwell Munksgaard if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication. The work shall not be published elsewhere in any language without the written consent of the publisher. The articles published in this journal are protected by copyright, which covers translation rights and the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute all of the articles printed in the journal. No material published in the journal may be stored on microfilm or videocassettes or in electronic databases and the like or reproduced photographically without the prior written permission of the publisher.
The paper should be submitted in triplicate, in English, and doublespaced. Begin each text component (title page, abstract, text, references, figure legends, tables, figures) on a separate page. Provide the manuscript as hard copy and in electronic form on newly formatted 3.5-inch disk containing an exact copy of the submitted manuscript. Tables and figures (TIFF, EPS or JPEG) should be saved in separate files. Label the disk clearly with the journal name, authors and title, file content, computer system (DOS, Windows or Macintosh), word processing package (Word, WordPerfect etc.) and version used. Do not convert your manuscript to ASCII format. Include only files corresponding to the manuscript.
Title page - containing (1) a concise informative title; (2) names of authors; (3) name of department(s)/institution(s) to which the work is attributed; (4) if the title exceeds 40 characters (letters and spaces): a running head of no more than 40 characters should be provided.
Abstract page - A separate abstract page should contain the following: (1) Authors' surnames and initials. (2) Title of manuscript. (3) Title of Journal, abbreviated as in reference list. (4) The word Abstract followed by a summary of the article. (5) 3-10 key words according to Index Medicus. (6) Name and address of the author to whom requests for offprints should be sent.
Introduction - Present the background briefly, but do not review the subject extensively. Give only pertinent references. State the specific questions you want to answer.
Patients and methods/Material and methods - Describe selection of patients or experimental animals, including controls. Do not use patients' names or hospital numbers. Identify methods, apparatus (manufacturer's name and address), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Provide references and brief descriptions of methods that have been published. When using new methods, evaluate their advantages and limitations. Identify drugs and chemicals, including generic name, dosage, and route(s) of administration.
Indicate whether the procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee of Human Experimentation in your country, or are in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975.
Results - Present results in logical sequence in tables and illustrations. In the text, explain, emphasize or summarize the most important observations. Units of measurement should be expressed in accordance with Syst鑝e International d'Unit閟 (SI Units).
Discussion - Do not repeat in detail data given in the Results section. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study. Relate the observations to other relevant studies. On the basis of your findings (and others'), discuss possible implications/conclusions. When proposing a new hypothesis, clearly label it as such.
Tables - Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Type each table on a separate sheet, with titles making them self-explanatory.
Illustrations - Figures should clarify the text. Their number should be kept to a minimum. Submit 3 unmounted copies of each illustration, labelled on the back with the number, author's name, and indicate the top of the figure. Figure legends must be typed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.
Figures should be professionally drafted, and halftones should exhibit high contrast. Details must be large enough to retain their clarity after reduction in size. After reduction, illustrations should preferably fill single-column width (81 mm) although in exceptional cases 2/3 page width (120 mm) or full page width (168 mm) will be accepted. Photomicrographs must have internal scale markers (linear scale). Original colour transparencies as well as two sets of colour prints should be submitted. It is the policy of the journal for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork. Therefore, please note that if there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, you are required to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded online at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/Sub3000_X_CoW.pdf. However, if you are unable to access the internet, or are unable to download the form, please contact the Production Editor at the address below, who will be able to email or fax a form to you. Once completed, please return the form to the Production Editor at the following address: Claire E. Shepherd, Pediatric Transplantation, Blackwell Publishing, 23 Ainslie Place, Edinburgh EH3 6AJ, UK (email: claire.shepherd@edn.blackwellpublishing.com; fax: +44 (0)131 226 3803). Any article received by Blackwell Publishing with colour work will not be published until the form has been returned.
Abbreviations and symbols - Use only standard abbreviations. All units will be metric. Use no roman numerals in the text. In decimals, a decimal point, and not a comma, will be used. Avoid abbreviations in the title. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. In cases of doubt, the spelling orthodoxy of The Oxford English Dictionary will be adhered to.
References -These should be kept to the pertinent minimum and numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals (in parentheses). References cited only in the tables or figure legends should be numbered in accordance with a sequence established by the first identification of that figure in the text. Try to avoid using abstracts as references. Include manuscripts accepted, but not published; designate the abbreviated title of the journal followed by (in press). Information from manuscripts not yet accepted, should be cited in the text as (submitted). The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents. Titles should be abbreviated in accordance with the style used in Index Medicus/MEDLINE.
