I. Criteria for Publication
A. Compliance to Standards. The editorial and publication of the CCDC Weekly is subject to relevant laws, regulations and policy requirements for the editing and publishing of Chinese scientific journals. It also must follow guidance from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
B. Appropriateness. The CCDC Weekly’s Weekly Report is intended for readers in the public health community, including public health professionals and administrators, clinicians, researchers, teachers, students, and the news media. It focuses on publishing surveillance data analysis, large scale survey and research reports with public health policies and practical implications.
C. Originality. In principle, reports should not contain previously published information, guidelines or recommendations. However, reports can be published in conjunction with other academic journals under written agreement.
D. Scientific. Surveillance data analysis, survey and research reports published by CCDC Weekly should be based on accepted scientific analysis methods, should include sufficient data to interpret the public health implications and give recommendations for further public health practice.
E. Timeliness. Reports should contain the most current data from surveys, surveillance systems or studies. Reports on in progress or recently completed investigations have higher priority for publication. In principle, data from outbreaks should be reported within ten months, and surveillance and other data should be reported within three years.
F. Clarity. Reports should adhere to principles of plain language with minimal use of acronyms and initialisms. All reports have a limit on the number of words, figures, tables, and references.
II. Types of Reports
The following types of reports are published in CCDC Weekly Reports:
A) Preplanned Studies
B) Outbreak Reports
C) Policy Notes
D) Notes from the Field
E) Vital Surveillances
F) Healthy China
G) Recollection and Reflection
H) Review and Perspective
I) Announcements and Notices to Readers
J) Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reports
K) Methods and Applications
A. Preplanned Studies
A preplanned study report is a report on a national or regional survey or a special study on important public health issues. The recommendations in the report should be able to guide future public health practice. In principle, pre-planned studies should be no longer than 1,400 words and include no more than 10 references, three total tables, figures, and/or boxes.
(TIPS: The most prominent feature of Weekly reports is simplicity. These reports are intended only to summarize the analysis and recommendations and not to provide every detail. The strict 10-reference rule is intended to limit the scope of the report. A good test for simplicity is whether, in a sentence or two, you can tell a casual reader what the report is about and what should be done.)
