2. AIMS AND SCOPE
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
i. Original Articles
Divided into: Summary, Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Discussion, Bullet points, Acknowledgements, References, Figure legends, Tables and Figures arranged in this order.
Summary should be structured using the following subheadings: Background, Hypothesis or Aim, Design, Results, and Conclusions and should be less than 200 words.
Introduction should be brief and end with a statement of the aim of the study or hypotheses tested. Describe and cite only the most relevant earlier studies. Avoid presentation of an extensive review of the field.
Material and methods should be clearly described and provide enough detail so that the observations can be critically evaluated and, if necessary repeated. Use section subheadings in a logical order to title each category or method. Use this order also in the results section. Authors should have considered the ethical aspects of their research and should ensure that the project was approved by an appropriate ethical committee, which should be stated. Type of statistical analysis must be described clearly and carefully.
Results should clearly and concisely report the findings, and division using subheadings is encouraged. Double documentation of data in text, tables or figures is not acceptable. Tables and figures should not include data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
Discussion section presents the interpretation of the findings. This is the only proper section for subjective comments and reference to previous literature. Avoid repetition of results, do not use subheadings or reference to tables in the results section.
Bullet Points: Authors will need to provide no more than 3 ‘key points’ that summarise the key messages of their paper to be published with their article. The key points should be written with a practitioner audience in mind under the heading:
*Why this paper is important to paediatric dentists.
References: Maximum 30.
ii. Review Articles
May be invited by the Editor.
iii. Systematic reviews
We consider publishing systematic reviews if the manuscript has comprehensive and unbiased sampling of literature and covering topics related to Paediatric Dentistry.
References: Maximum 30.
Articles for the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry should include: a) description of search strategy of relevant literature (search terms and databases), b) inclusion criteria (language, type of studies i.e. randomized controlled trial or other, duration of studies and chosen endpoints, c) evaluation of papers and level of evidence. For examples see:
Twetman S, Axelsson S, Dahlgren H et al. Caries-preventive effect of fluoride toothpaste: a systematic review. Acta Odontologica Scandivica 2003; 61: 347-355.
Paulsson L, Bondemark L, Söderfeldt B. A systematic review of the consequences of premature birth on palatal morphology, dental occlusion, tooth-crown dimensions, and tooth maturity and eruption. Angle Orthodontist 2004; 74: 269-279.
iv. Short Communications
Brief scientific articles or short case reports may be submitted, which should be no longer than three pages of double-spaced text and include a maximum of three illustrations. They should contain important, new, definitive information of sufficient significance to warrant publication. They should not be divided into different parts and summaries are not required.
References: Maximum 30.
v. Brief Clinical Reports/Case Reports
Short papers not exceeding 800 words, including a maximum of three illustrations and five references may be accepted for publication if they serve to promote communication between clinicians and researchers. If the paper describes a genetic disorder, the OMIM unique six-digit number should be provided for online cross reference (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man).
A paper submitted as a Brief Clinical/Case Report should include the following:
a short Introduction (avoid lengthy reviews of literature);
the Case report itself (a brief description of the patient/s, presenting condition, any special investigations and outcomes);
a Discussion which should highlight specific aspects of the case(s), explain/interpret the main findings and provide a scientific appraisal of any previously reported work in the field.
Bullet Points: Authors will need to provide no more than 3 ‘key points’ that summarise the key messages of their paper to be published with their article. The key points should be written with a practitioner audience in mind under the heading:
*Why this paper is important to paediatric dentists.
vi. Letters to the Editor
Letters should be no more than 1,500 words, with no more than 10 references. There should be no abstract, tables or figures.
