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 Injury Prevention Author Licence for the applicable Creative Commons licences”.
When publishing in Injury Prevention, 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 processing 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Preprints are reports of work that have not been peer-reviewed; Preprints should therefore not be used to guide clinical practice, health-related behaviour or health policy.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.
Data sharing
Injury Prevention adheres to BMJ’s Tier 2 data policy. We strongly encourage that data generated by your research that supports your article be made available as soon as possible, wherever legally and ethically possible. We also require data from clinical trials to be made available upon reasonable request. To adhere to ICMJE guidelines, we require that a data sharing plan must be included with trial registration for clinical trials that begin enrolling participants on or after 1st January 2019. Changes to the plan must be noted in the Data Availability Statement and updated in the registry record. All research articles must contain a Data Availability Statement. For more information and FAQs, please see BMJ’s full Data Sharing Policy page.
ORCID
Injury Prevention 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.
Data files
Multimedia files: Authors are encouraged to submit multimedia files, including videos. Further details can be found in our Manuscript preparation guidelines.
Sharing of data collection tools: If you have used a non-proprietary data collection tool in your research or you developed a survey, checklist, or assessment form, please consider uploading and sharing that tool through the SAVIR Instrument Library on SafetyLit.org. Shared data collection tools allow investigators in our field to work more efficiently and to generate directly comparable research results.
Article processing charges
During submission, authors can choose to have their article published open access for 2,300 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.

Original research
Please note that we require registration of clinical trials and reporting of randomized clinical trials according to the CONSORT guidelines. We also ask that authors follow the STROBE guidelines when reporting observational studies.
Although not required for publication in Injury Prevention, authors are encouraged to review similar published guidelines for the reporting of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and assessments of diagnostic test. Templates for CONSORT, STROBE and other reporting guidelines are available through the Equator Network.
Please include a key messages section with 2-3 bullet points under two headings: “What is already known on this subject” and “What this study adds”, summarising the context and contributions of your paper.
Word count: up to 3000 words
Structured Abstract: up to 250 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 6
References: up to 40
Brief report
Brief reports are intended to highlight interesting findings that do not warrant the space required of an original article. They differ from Correspondence in that they present data or findings that stand on their own, rather than referring to a work already published.
Please include a key messages section with 2-3 bullet points under two headings: “What is already known on this subject” and “What this study adds”, summarising the context and contributions of your paper.
Length: up to 1500 words
Abstract: up to 150 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 4
References: up to 20
Methodology
New methodological contributions are important to this field, as are studies or appraisals of existing methodological approaches. Papers with this focus are reviewed in the same manner as Original Articles. Detailed items (large tables or graphs) can be included but may be published as supplementary files.
Word count: up to 3000 words
Structured Abstract: up to 250 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 6

Systematic review
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are welcomed. Detailed items (large tables or graphs) can be included but may be published as supplementary files.
Please include a key messages section with 2-3 bullet points under two headings: “What is already known on this subject” and “What this study adds”, summarising the context and contributions of your paper.
Word count: up to 4000 words
Structured Abstract: up to 250 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 6

Protocol
The journal publishes protocols for studies in the field that have been proposed or funded and that may or may not yet be recruiting subjects. Study protocols will be considered for 1) controlled trials; 2) systematic reviews; and 3) controlled observational studies.
Submitted protocols must conform to the appropriate reporting guidelines. Templates for CONSORT, STROBE and other reporting guidelines are available through the Equator Network. All clinical trials must be prospectively registered. Any study protocol currently enrolling subjects must have evidence of appropriate ethical review.
Protocols that have secured funding from an agency following scientific peer review will be screened by an editorial team for originality, suitability of design and general interest to the readership. Please upload completed peer review comments for inspection. Protocols passing this initial screen will be published without additional review. Post-publication commentary is available on the website and may be useful to authors in revising or updating protocols.
If the protocol has not been funded on the basis of peer review, the protocol will be screened and may be sent for formal peer review by the journal with the option of returning the manuscript to the authors for revision.
Word count: unlimited
Student submission
The journal considers papers authored by trainees in any discipline. These will undergo peer review but may be offered additional opportunities for revision and resubmission if required. These submissions are typically invited by one of our affiliated societies or commissioned by a conference organiser. The sponsoring agency should be identified in the covering letter. We regret that we cannot consider unsolicited submissions in this category.
Please include a key messages section with 2-3 bullet points under two headings: “What is already known on this subject” and “What this study adds”, summarising the context and contributions of your paper.
Word count: up to 2500 words
Abstract: up to 250 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 4
References: up to 30
Special feature
Special features is a category reserved for papers that do not fit neatly in any of the other categories. Authors with what they believe to be such papers are encouraged to communicate with the Editor before submission.
As a rule, special features will be about 3000 words. A special feature need not follow the customary structure of a research or review paper.
Media review
Books, video, software and other media of interest to the injury prevention community are occasionally reviewed. Authors wishing to contribute in this category should discuss their ideas with the Editor in advance of submission.
Word count: up to 900 words
Tables/Illustrations: up to 2
References: up to 8
Correspondence
Letters in response to articles published in the journal are welcomed and should be submitted electronically as eLetters via the journal’s website. Contributors should go to the abstract or full text of the article in question and click on the ‘Responses’ tab.
Letters relating to or responding to previously published items in the journal will be reviewed by the editor and shown to those authors of the original article, where appropriate. The authors will be invited to submit a response.
Supplements
The BMJ Publishing Group journals are willing to consider publishing supplements to regular issues. Supplement proposals may be made at the request of:
