Copyright and authors’ rights
Articles are published under an exclusive licence or non-exclusive licence for UK Crown employees or where BMJ has agreed CC BY applies. For US Federal Government officers or employees acting as part of their official duties, the terms are as stated in accordance with our licence terms. Authors or their employers retain copyright. Open access articles can be reused under the terms of the relevant Creative Commons licence to facilitate reuse of the content; please refer to the Archives of Disease in Childhood: Education & Practice Author Licence for the applicable Creative Commons licences. More information on copyright and authors’ rights.
When publishing in ADC: Education & Practice, authors choose between three licence types – exclusive licence granted to BMJ, CC-BY-NC and CC-BY (Creative Commons open access licences require payment of an article publishing charge). As an author you may wish to post your article in an institutional or subject repository, or on a scientific social sharing network. You may also link your published article to your preprint (if applicable). What you can do with your article, without seeking permission, depends on the licence you have chosen and the version of your article. Please refer to the BMJ author self archiving and permissions policies page for more information.
Preprints
Preprints foster openness, accessibility and collaboration by allowing authors to make their findings immediately available to the research community and receive feedback on an article before it is submitted to a journal for formal publication.
BMJ fully supports and encourages the archiving of preprints in any recognised, not-for-profit server such as medRxiv. BMJ does not consider the posting of an article in a dedicated preprint repository to be prior publication.
Preprints are reports of work that have not been peer-reviewed; Preprints should therefore not be used to guide clinical practice, health-related behaviour or health policy. For more information, please refer to our Preprint policy page.
Manuscript transfer
BMJ and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have a facility for transferring manuscripts among their paediatric journals. Authors submitting to the flagship journal Archives of Disease in Childhood can choose BMJ Paediatrics Open as an ‘alternate journal’.
Once authors agree for their manuscript to be transferred to another BMJ journal, all versions of the manuscript, any supplementary files and peer review comments will automatically be transferred on the author’s behalf. Please note that there is no guarantee of acceptance. Contact the editorial team for more information or assistance.
Article publishing charges
During submission, authors can choose to have their article published open access for 2300 GBP (exclusive of VAT for UK and EU authors). Publishing open access has multiple benefits including wider reach, faster impact and increased citation and usage. There are no submission, page or colour figure charges.
Find out if you are eligible for institutional funding
A number of institutions have open access agreements with BMJ which can either cover the whole cost of open access publishing for authors at participating institutions or can allow authors to receive a discount off the APC.
Visit BMJ’s open access agreements page to find out whether your institution is a member and what discounts you may be entitled to.
For more information on publishing open access with BMJ visit our Author Hub.
ORCID
Archives of Disease in Childhood: Education & Practice mandates ORCID iDs for the submitting author at the time of article submission; co-authors and reviewers are strongly encouraged to also connect their ScholarOne accounts to ORCID. We strongly believe that the increased use and integration of ORCID iDs will be beneficial for the whole research community.
Please find more information about ORCID and BMJ’s policy on our Author Hub.

Epilogue
The merit of this section is in using high-quality image(s) to remind the readers about the important features of a common clinical problem and using MCQs to produce useful learning points and take-home messages. This is also a useful format for trainees as well as established authors.
We invite readers to submit cases accompanied by questions. The text should be no more than 600 words, and might be accompanied by one or two figures, preferably clinical images, though good-quality radiology figures will be considered, and 4 or 5 MCQs. Radiology images should be of a standard that paediatricians would be able to identify the important feature. Real-life cases must have parent/patient consent and be anonymised. Answers should be given, with a punchy learning point: 1 sentence each. Submissions will be peer-reviewed before publication. Authors will be credited in the journal.
If you want to know more please contact the editors or the editorial office.
Word count: 600 words
Tables/Illustrations: 1-2
Quality Improvement
The aim of these reports is to showcase good practice in paediatric QI and to share experiences and learning. We are particularly keen to highlight both successes and failures, as it is often from the failures that we learn the most. The emphasis may be on small achievable projects led by frontline staff, not just large scale change.
Intended audience
Reports are intended for anyone interested in improving child health. We particularly hope this will inspire frontline clinicians to undertake their own QI projects. The focus is on learning and understanding the process of QI.
Style of the paper
The papers should be brief, to the point and informative, and they should be limited to one side of paper in the journal (700 words max). Our hope is that the paper would provide enough information to allow the QI work to be spread and others to make use of it.
Article structure
Please use the following headings (in capitals) and address the points within each:
Summary: Summarise your project and the clinical setting (one sentence) e.g. Implementation of a PEWs chart in a rural district general paediatric inpatient ward.
The Problem: Why did you choose this project, what was the quality/safety issue? How did you identify the problem?
Aims: What were the aims of your project? Be as specific and as SMART as possible.
Making a Case for Change: How did you communicate the need for change? Who did you need to involve in your project and how did you do this?
Your Improvements: Outline the changes and how you implemented them, including the QI tools/techniques used e.g. PDSA cycles. How do you know the changes you made resulted in improvement? What were the outcomes of your project and how will you ensure that they are sustained?
Learning and Next Steps: What would you do differently next time and what were the secrets to success (where did you find support)? What are your next steps in this project- where next?
Quality Improvement: Equipped commissioning guide
The Equipped series of articles aims to introduce readers to core Quality Improvement concepts. Using Child Health examples, change theories, improvement models and relevant resources can be demonstrated and shared. There is a strong emphasis on practical suggestions to enable readers to embark upon their own projects.
Intended audience
All child health professionals looking to undertake quality improvement work and looking for an introduction to core QI themes with examples.
Good examples are:
Patient involvement in quality improvement: is it time we let children, young people and families take the lead?
Robertson S, et al.
Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed 2014;
99:23–27.
Using data to improve care
Cheung CRLH, et al.
Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed 2013;
98:224–229.
These are good because:
They use specific examples to highlight a QI theory or model
The underlying theory is clearly explained in a practical way
They are focused on supporting readers to undertake similar work
They use illustrations and text boxes for clarity
Specific instructions:
Please feel free to include other authors provided their contribution is significant and adds value. Remember: “I’m sorry I wrote such a long letter; I didn’t have time to write a shorter one” – Abraham Lincoln, and take a look at this paper which changed the world in around 650 words.
Please include at least two, and preferably more, boxes, table and figures, and make use of full colour. Colour charges are not applicable in E&P. A common pitfall is to write a textbook chapter. Clues that you are doing this will include an overlong article, getting stuck in detail that only very expert readers need to appreciate, and the need for very many references. If you’re falling into this trap, and want help, then your commissioning editor should be able to assist you. Many authors find this advice helpful.
Your article will need to be submitted through the ScholarOne system. If you have been commissioned, please follow the instructions. Please note that as a peer reviewed journal, your article will undergo peer review. This allows us to ensure we are publishing high quality work, and our peer reviewers almost invariably help to improve papers.
Word count: maximum 3000 words excluding references, boxes, tables and diagrams.
Figures/tables: are encouraged
References: 30-40 should suffice
