Authors may be offered the opportunity to re-submit a revised version that has been edited for English language.

Manuscripts may only be actively under consideration by one journal at any given time.

For exceptional articles of major scientific or public health interest, the Editors-in-Chief may decide to proceed with fast-track review, aiming to reach a first decision within one week. If you believe your article requires fast-track review, please state this in the cover letter of your manuscript along with detailed justification(s).

AUTHORSHIP

recommends that authorship be based on the following four criteria:

1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND

2. Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND

3. Final approval of the version to be published; AND

4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Abstract

An informative structured abstract of not more than 200 words that can be understood without reference to the text should be included. For optimal clarity, the author should use the headings Background, Methods, Results and Conclusion. Abstracts will be translated into French and Spanish on acceptance for publication (authors are welcome to provide their own translations).

Minor heading 1 (e.g. Study population and materials) in Arial 12 italics.

Minor heading 2 (e.g. Human subjects) in Times Roman 12 italics.

Sections should follow the usual conventions Introduction (does not require a heading): This should include the aim, objectives and/or hypotheses for the manuscript, preceded by their rationale.

Methods: This should include a description of the study design, study population, intervention, exposures, outcomes and other relevant variables, where applicable. Details of the statistical analysis plan and sample size and study power should also be included.

Methods should be described in a manner that is conducive to replication.

Details of ethics approval (or a statement as to why it was not required) should be provided in the Methods section of all research studies. All studies involving human subjects should include details of informed consent.
