INTRODUCTION
Types of article
1. Original Articles
Articles are full-length reports of original research.
• Maximum length: 3500 words.
• Papers should include a structured abstract containing Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions (maximum length: 250 words), followed by sections titled Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgement and Data Availability.
• Figure legends should explain what is represented in the figure rather than repeating results, methods, and conclusions.
• Methods sections containing detailed, widely available protocols may be partly limited to online publication, at the Editor’s discretion.
2. Short Communications
Short Communications are concise reports of preliminary findings, or epidemiologic studies with narrowly focused or limited findings.
• Maximum length: 2000 words.
• Manuscript style (excluding word length) should conform to the requirements for original articles.
3. Reviews
Review articles are summaries of recent insights into specific research areas within the scope of the Journal of Epidemiology. The key aims of reviews are to provide systematic and substantial coverage of established topics, evaluations of progress in specified areas, and critical assessments of emerging studies.
• Maximum length: 5000 words.
• Abstracts can be either structured or unstructured (maximum length: 250 words).
4. Statistical Data
Reports based on statistical data from public surveillance, such as information on mortality, morbidity, and disease surveillance systems.
• Maximum length: 2000 words.
• Manuscript style (excluding word length) should conform to the requirements for original articles.
5. Study Profiles
Study profiles are descriptions of study designs or overviews of potentially influential epidemiological studies.
• Maximum length: 3500 words.
• Manuscript should be organized with sections titled Purpose, Main features, Participants, Outcomes and Follow-Up, Measurement, Baseline Characteristics, Strengths and Limitations, Data Availability, and Acknowledgements.
• Updated versions of a previously published profile are also possible (indicate “Update” in title)
• Abstracts can be either structured or unstructured (maximum length: 250 words).
6. Letters to the Editor
Opinions regarding any matter related to epidemiology.
• Maximum length: 600 words.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ethics in Publishing
For information on ethics in publishing and ethical guidelines for journal publication see https://publicationethics.org/.
Policy on funding by tobacco companies
Journal of Epidemiology will not consider research or manuscripts that have been supported either directly or indirectly by tobacco companies.
Human and animal rights
If the work involves the use of human subjects, the authors should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments involving humans, https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinki-ethical-principles-for-medical-research-involving-humansubjects/; and with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, http://www.icmje.org/. The manuscript should include a statement that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
Conflict of Interest
Authors must state all sources of funding and any other financial and personal relationships that could potentially bias their work in the manuscript. If any author has involvements that might raise a question of bias, they are required to provide details of such involvements.
When submitting a revised manuscript, all authors must complete and upload the “ICMJE DISCLOSURE FORM” in the submission system to declare any conflicts of interest that could influence how readers interpret the work.
Failure to reveal all pertinent information could result in the article being classified as a fraudulent submission and may cause a published paper to be retracted and the authors prohibited from further submission to the Journal of Epidemiology. The corresponding author must include a section titled “Conflicts of interest” at the end of the Acknowledgments. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the disclosures will be published in the Journal as they appear in the Acknowledgments section of the manuscript. If the authors have no conflicts of interest to declare, they should declare this with an explicit statement, such as “The authors declare they have no conflict of interest with respect to this research study and paper.”
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis); that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out; and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically, without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked using the originality detection service Similarity Check https://www.crossref.org/services/similarity-check/.
Contributors
Each author is required to declare his or her individual contribution to the article. All authors must have materially participated in the research and/or article preparation, so roles for all authors should be described. The statement that all authors have approved the final article should be true and included in the disclosure. Journal of Epidemiology adopts the CRediT taxonomy to define author contributions. Each author’s contributor roles and degree of contribution must be provided via the online submission system. Please consult the details of CRediT at https://casrai.org/credit/.
Authorship
All authors should have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (1) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the article or critically revising it for important intellectual content; and (3) final approval of the version to be submitted. They should also agree 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.
These definitions of authorship are based on those of the ICMJE (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-andresponsibilities/). Submission of a document for publication implies that it has been approved by all named authors, that it describes unpublished work, and that the content is not simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Informed consent and patient details
Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in the paper. Appropriate consents, permissions, and releases must be obtained when authors wish to include case details or other personal information or images of patients or any other individuals in the Journal of Epidemiology.
Written consent must be retained by the authors. Copies of the consent or evidence that consent has been obtained must be provided to the Journal’s editorial office on request. Unless you have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of an article and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission.
If a study is exempted from ethics committee approval and informed consent, the authors should document the reasons for the exemption in detail.
