【官网信息】

World

Journal of Pediatric Surgery (WJPS) strives to become one of the most

credible, authoritative resources publishing significant findings and

cutting-edge results in pediatric surgery. WJPS publishes high-quality

original research, reviews, and perspectives related to all aspects of

pediatric surgery.

The

journal is particularly interested in interdisciplinary studies

including, but not limited to, minimally invasive techniques, robotic

surgery, molecular imaging, precision surgery, 3D printing, artificial

intelligence, new materials and medical instruments.

Editorial policy

World

Journal of Pediatric Surgery adheres to the highest standards

concerning its editorial policies on publication ethics, scientific

misconduct, consent and peer review criteria. The journal follows

guidance produced by bodies that include the Committee on Publication

Ethics (COPE), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) and the

International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).To view all

BMJ Journal policies please refer to the BMJ Author Hub policies page,

including information about our Editors’ roles and responsibilities.

Research ethics and consent

Authors

are required to submit a statement that their study obtained ethics

approval (or a statement that it was not required and why) and that

participants gave informed consent. Our Editors will consider whether

the work is morally acceptable as determined by the World Medical

Association’s Declaration of Helsinki. In addition to this an article

that contains personal medical information about an identifiable living

individual requires patients explicit consent (in the format of a signed

BMJ patient consent form) before we will publish it. Please find

further details on  BMJ research ethics policies (human participants and animals) and  consent for publication; including a link to the downloadable consent form.

Competing interests

To

make the best decision on how to deal with a manuscript, World Journal

of Pediatric Surgery needs to know about any competing interests authors

may have; this includes any commercial, financial or non financial

associations that may be relevant to the submitted article. Authors must

download and complete a copy of the ICMJE Conflict of Interest

disclosure form. In addition to this World Journal of Pediatric Surgery

ensures that all advertising and sponsorship associated with the journal

does not influence editorial decisions, is immediately distinguishable

from editorial content and meets all other  BMJ guidelines. Please find more information about  competing interests and a link to the form.

Publication misconduct

We

take seriously all possible misconduct. If an Editor, author or reader

has concerns that a submitted article describes something that might be

considered to constitute misconduct in research, publication or

professional behaviour they should forward their concerns to the

journal. The publisher will deal with allegations appropriately

following ICMJE and COPE guidelines. Corrections and retractions are

considered where an article has already been published; corrections,

expressions of concern or a retraction notices will be published as soon

as possible in line with the  BMJ correction and retraction policy.

Large language models

Large

Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not currently satisfy the

authorship criteria of World Journal of Pediatric Surgery. The use of an

LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and

acknowledgements, if appropriate) of the manuscript. If a Methods

section is not available, the Introduction section (or another

appropriate section) can be used to document the use of the LLM.

Copyright and authors’ rights

As

an open access journal, World Journal of Pediatric Surgery adheres to

the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition of open access. Articles

are published under a Creative Commons licence (CC BY-NC or CC-BY) to

facilitate reuse of the content and authors retain copyright; please

refer to the World Journal of Pediatric Surgery Copyright Author Licence

Statement.

When

publishing in World Journal of Pediatric Surgery, authors choose

between two licence types – CC-BY-NC and CC-BY. 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.
