Dear colleague

Following on from the successful ESPU 22nd annual meeting in Copenhagen, we would like to invite you to submit your best work to the Journal of Pediatric Urology, official publication of the ESPU, and the only peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to the field of paediatric urology.

The Journal offers high quality peer-review and rapid editorial and publication times (average time from submission to final decision: 16 weeks; average time from acceptance to publication online: 4.7 weeks).

The Journal is indexed by MEDLINE/PubMed and SCOPUS, and has just been accepted for indexing in the Science Citation Index Expanded and Journal Citation Reports by Thomson Reuters; it will therefore receive its first impact factor in 2012.

As well as a wide print circulation (including to all ESPU members), the Journal is read extensively online (over 89,000 full text articles downloaded from ScienceDirect in 2010).

For more information, including a detailed Guide for Authors, please visit the new-look journal website at www.jpurol.com, where you can also sign up to receive electronic tables of contents when each issue is published online.

Please submit your paper online at http://ees.elsevier.com/jpurol, and select ‘ESPU 2011’ as the article type. If you have any queries, please contact the editorial office: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

We look forward to receiving your submission.

Kind regards

         Mr J David Frank              Mr Patrick Duffy                 Prof Serdar Tekgül
