编辑部信息(Editorial Board)
About the journal Pediatrics in Review is a highly acclaimed monthly continuing medical education (CME) journal, complete with review articles and special features such as:
- Back to Basics: Revisits basic science learned in medical school
- Consultation with the Specialist: Offers a specialist's perspective on a variety of pediatric topics
- What's New: Provides information on new developments in pediatric medicine
- Index of Suspicion: Tests diagnostic skills with cases that present in a suspicious manner
Instructions to Authors
- Pediatrics in Review's renowned feature entitled Index of Suspicion highlights cases from practice. The following paragraphs outline how to submit a case to the editors for consideration.
Guidelines for Authors of Index of Suspicion Cases
- The case presentation should give the reader enough information to make him or her suspect the specified diagnosis without making it obvious. If the case is based on an actual patient, modifications may be made to portray a situation more representative of the disorder being discussed.
- The discussion should concentrate on the reasons for suspecting this disorder and on the diagnostic procedures indicated. Other conditions that could present in similar fashion should be mentioned, but a comprehensive differential diagnosis is not needed. Treatment should be mentioned, especially when early therapy is important. Again, a detailed discussion of treatment is not appropriate. References are not needed.
- We use the present tense in case presentations, prefer "girl/boy" to "female/male," and do not use names or initials to identify the patient.
- The case presentation must be kept to 240 words. This requirement is critical so that we can fit three cases on one page. Some elements that might go into the presentation can be mentioned instead in the discussion. Length of the discussion will vary but should not exceed 800 words and could be as short as 500.
- If we give you relevant content specifications (from the American Board of Pediatrics), please try to include information that will cover these educational objectives.
- If a deadline is specified, please respect it and let the editor know if there is a problem meeting it.
Review Process for Index of Suspicion Cases
- The author's manuscript is reviewed by the editor. Changes are made to bring text into conformity with the journal's style.
- The manuscript is then sent to a specialist reviewer, who makes comments.
- The editor incorporates the reviewer's comments into the case and sends the revised case and copy of reviewer's comments to the author. This is essentially the final version and any changes the author wants to make should be done at this stage. The author is asked to let the editor know of any changes she or he desires; otherwise, the case is considered satisfactory.
- Some minor changes may be made by the publisher. The author receives galley proofs to review before the material is printed.
Prior to submitting a case, please send a brief description of the case to Dr. Nazarian, who edits this section, to eliminate any redundancies with published cases or cases in process.
