Rules for Authors:

www.PedRad.info is a new form of publishing.  All pediatric radiologists, but also all radiologists, all pediatricians and every pediatric surgeon were given the possibility to publish their cases including images. Cases of the childhood and adolescence are the main focus of this project.

An accepted case article will be published, but it can also be deleted without claims or permission of the author, especially if a significant more actual case was submitted to guarantee up-to-date knowledge. Each author has also the right to delete his or her entry if so wished.  

The author has the right to publish his case elsewhere.  A previous publication of the author's case is possible if no other restrictions apply which might violate the copyright of the previous publisher/authors.  With the submission of the case, the author declares, that he/she submits text and images on which he possesses the rights.

Copyright: The author of the case agrees with the submission of the case, that his/her case may be edited and thus changed by the publishers if necessary to guarantee high educational quality. After an editorial change of the case, the author has the right to delete the case without declaring any reasons. Temporarely, the author hands over his rights over the case to the publishers, as far as the case will be published on PedRad.info or affiliated projects. On the other side, the author has the right to publish his submitted text and images elsewhere without permission of the publishers.

The incorporation of the case will be decided by the publishers and respectively by the reviewers.  The cases on www.PedRad.info can be cited since these entries are contributing to expand knowledge in the medical field.  If requested, a confirmation of receipt can be sent to the author.
