Traffic Injury Prevention is an archival and indexed journal covering traffic safety, crash prevention and injury control. Papers include research on alcohol and drug impairment, behavior of traffic participants, injury mechanisms, impact biomechanics, injury prevention and epidemiology. Published articles have been subjected to anonymous and independent peer review. They can include all phases of experimental, computational, statistical, emergency, clinical and epidemiological research.

Submission of Manuscripts. Traffic Injury Prevention receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their Manuscript Central website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/GCPI.  Manuscript Central allows submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform.

Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding the submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved the submission. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other materials published in Traffic Injury Prevention represent the opinions of the authors and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editors or the Publisher.

Preparation of Manuscripts. Manuscripts should contain the following sections in this order: title, author(s) names and affiliation(s), complete mailing and email address(es), structured abstract, key words for indexing, introduction, methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments and references. Section numbers should not be used. Notations should be defined as they are introduced. The text should be double-spaced with 1-inch margins using Arial 10 point font. The manuscript should consist of text with the tables and figures at the end.

Number the pages and do not use of footnotes. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the publisher's property. The Journal requires authors to list the specific version of AIS used and their level of experience in classifying AIS when done in the research. The Journal also requires that Randomized Controlled Trials (RTC) follow the CONSORT guidelines, which improve the RTC reporting and enable readers to understand how a trial was conducted and to assess validity of the results. The guidelines can be found at: http://www.consort-statement.org.

Language: English only.

Abstract: A 200 to 400 word structured statement using the headings: objective, methods, results and conclusions.

Key Words: Include up to six key words for indexing and database word searches.

Text Headings: Set first-level headings in the text to the left, typed in all capitals and bold faced; begin text on the following line. Second level headings should be typed in bold lowercase letters, but with all main words capitalized; start text on the next line. For third-level headings, use bold type and capitalize only the first level; begin text on the same line after three spaces.

Equations. Mathematical equations should be numbered using Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses on the right-hand margin. They should be cited in the text as Eq. (10), or Eqs. (12–16).

Units. Manuscripts submitted for publication must use SI units. English units may be included in parentheses.

Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should be included at the end of the text using Arial font. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. Units must be included. Figures should be labeled, taking into account necessary size reductions as figures are preferred in one-column width (3.5 wide) for the paper layout. Captions should be typed under each Figure. For accepted papers, the figures are required in an editable format in PowerPoint without grid lines or boundary boxes. If the use of color artwork is desired, please contact the publisher for print and online color costs. The editor may modify the figures for consistency in the Journal, and the publisher has the right to refuse publication of any artwork deemed unacceptable.

Proofs. On-line proofing of typeset papers is arranged with the corresponding author. Proofs should be checked carefully and revised within 48 hours. Corrections are limited to printer errors and clarifications; no substantial rewrites can be made without the Editor's approval.
