Journal of Pediatric Surgery guidelines
Congress edition of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery
For all papers accepted for oral or poster presentations that will be part of our 2025 programme we will be considering manuscripts for the congress edition of the JPS! For all accepted case reports there will be an opportunity to submit to the Journal of Pediatric Surgery – Case Reports.
This year we are trialling a new way of submission that involves uploading your manuscript electronically to the JPS website as you would do for a regular submission to either journal. Please follow the guidelines carefully and note that there are separate submission processes depending on the format of your presentation.
For oral or poster presentations:

The criteria and format of submission follow the usual JPS practice for original research. The JPS Guide for Authors is available and its requirements need to be followed precisely
