About the journal
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology is an established bimonthly international journal that publishes data on diseases of the developing embryo, newborns, children, and adolescents. The journal publishes original and review articles and reportable case reports.
The expanded scope of the journal encompasses molecular basis of genetic disorders; molecular basis of diseases that lead to implantation failures; molecular basis of abnormal placentation; placentology and molecular basis of habitual abortion; intrauterine development and molecular basis of embryonic death; pathogenisis and etiologic factors involved in sudden infant death syndrome; the underlying molecular basis, and pathogenesis of diseases that lead to morbidity and mortality in newborns; prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric diseases and molecular basis of diseases of childhood including solid tumors and tumors of the hematopoietic system; and experimental and molecular pathology.
The Institute of Scientific Information Journal Citations Report for 2003 ranks Fetal and Pediatric Pathology 63rd out of 64 journals in Pathology (Science) and 67th out of 68 journals in Pediatrics (Science), with an impact factor of 0.228.
Instructions to Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Address all manuscripts and editorial correspondence to:
Dr. Atilano Lacson University of South Florida at all Children's hospital 801 Sixth Street South, South Petersburg, FL 33701 E-mail:lacsona@allkids.org or Enid Gilbert Barness 2 Colombia Drive, Rm 232, Tampa, FL 33602 E-mail: Egilbert@tgh.org
Case reports are published only if they provide new information or new insights into the histology of disease. Editorials, review articles, annotated bibliographies, and letters are published at the discretion of the Editor. Abstracts of pediatric pathology meetings and society announcements are published by prior arrangement with the Editor. Reviews are invited, but before embarking on a review, contact one of the Review Editors.
Submission of a manuscript is taken to mean that it is original, has not been published elsewhere except in abstract form, and will not be submitted elsewhere if accepted. A transfer of copyright to Taylor & Francis must be signed by the senior author, and all accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the publisher's property. Copyright transfer forms will be provided by the Editor on acceptance of a manuscript. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher.
Manuscripts must be written in English, and the adequacy of translations will be determined by the Editor. The format must comply with the specifications in the section on manuscript submission. When necessary, the cover letter should state that the work reported was performed according to the guidelines of the institutional review board on human experimentation or in accordance with the National Research Council's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
Editorial policy is set by Taylor & Francis, the Editor and Editorial Board. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two referees.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Original Articles Type all parts of the manuscript including tables, figure legends, and references double-spaced with 2.5-cm (1-in) margins on 21.6 x 27.9 cm (8 1/2 x 11 inches) white bond paper. Submit the original and two copies of the manuscript with three sets of illustrations. Arrange and number the pages consecutively, beginning each of the divisions listed below on a new page.
Title Page Full title followed by a short title of 40 letters maximum to be used as a running headline; authors' names, degrees, and affiliations. If there are more than six authors, the specific contribution of each should be indicated in the covering letter. Indicate the person who will handle correspondence, including a full address and direct telephone number. Sources of support and acknowledgments should be listed on this page.
Abstract In a single paragraph of 200 words or less, the purpose of the work, the findings, and conclusions should be summarized. Include a maximum of six (6) key words in alphabetical order for coding and indexing. Use Index Medicus terms from Medical Subject Headings where possible.
Text An introduction should state the purpose of the work and the background that led to the current hypothesis. Materials and Methods should be followed by Results. Use tables and illustrations freely, without duplicating the information in the text. The Discussion should not repeat results, but draw conclusions from the study.
Permissions Material from other publications must be acknowledged. It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission to use all copyrighted materials, and this must accompany the manuscript.
References Number entries consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. Use an Arabic numeral in parentheses, not a superscript, for text citation. Only references cited in the manuscript should be listed. The author is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of references and for correct citation in the text. All references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents. References can be made only to published works and papers in press; designate the journal followed by "in press" (in parentheses) and include a preprint of "in press" papers. Works in progress, unpublished experiments, and personal communications should be excluded from the reference list but may be acknowledged in the text. Written permission from the appropriate person to cite unpublished data must be presented with the manuscript. Abbreviations of journals must conform to those in the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus. Examples of correct forms and punctuation are given below.

Tables Type each table double-spaced on a separate page. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Number tables consecutively and supply a brief title for each. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading. In a footnote explain all non-standard abbreviations and symbols. Identify statistical measures of variations such as SO and SEM. Omit internal horizontal and vertical lines. Cite each table in the text in consecutive order.
Figure Legends Type legends in the order cited using Arabic numerals for figures and lowercase Roman letters for multiple parts of a single figure (eg., Figs. 1a and 2c). Arrows, numbers, letters, or symbols used on illustrations should be clearly explained in the legend. Identify the stain only if it is not hematoxylin and eosin.
Illustrations Illustrations should be cited in numerical order in the text. Send three sets of unmounted black and white glossy prints. An optimal size for Pediatric Pathology and Molecular Medicine is 12.5 x 9 cm (5 x 3 1/2 inches). The maximum size of a single figure or cluster is 12.7 x 19 cm (5 x 7 1/2 inches) including the legend. Special markings (letters, arrows, numbers, etc.) should be applied directly by affixing transfer letters at least 3-3.5 mm high. Designate one complete set of illustrations to be used by the printer and the preferred layout may be indicated on a separate drawing or photocopy. The figure number, senior author's name, and indication of the top should be on a label pasted to the back of the photograph. Line illustrations must be professionally drawn and lettered and conform to the size specifications above. Four-color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in their printing and publication. The charge for the first figure is $1,200. Subsequent figures, totaling no more than 4 text pages, are $500.00 each. Good quality prints should be provided, in their final size. Figures needing reduction or enlargement will be charged an additional 25 percent. The publisher has the right to refuse publication of color prints deemed unacceptable.
Case Reports Limit the abstract to 150 words, use no more than 3 tables and figures, and limit the number of references to 12-15.
Spelling, Abbreviations, Units Follow Webster's Third New International Dictionary. Authors may consult the 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals,' Ann Intern Med 1982,86:766-70. All quantitative measurements are to be given in conventional metric units, followed when appropriate by SI units in parentheses, in accordance with the proposal of the National Committee of Clinical Laboratory Standards Position Paper PPC-11, 1979. Clin Chem 25:657-58, 1979.
Proofs and Author's Alterations Page proofs are sent to the designated author. They must be carefully checked and returned within 48 hours of receipt in order to avoid publication delay. Only minor corrections against the manuscript can be allowed without charge.
Early Electronic Offprints Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author抯 preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
