Journal of Human Lactation (JHL) invites submissions to an upcoming issue with the theme State of the Science. State of the science articles are valuable to clinicians, educators and researchers, because their critical analyses provide evidence for standards of practice, establish the current level of knowledge on a topic, and highlight gaps in the evidence pointing the directions for future research.

It is our goal to bring our readership the most up-to-date information available. To facilitate this goal we are calling for critical literature reviews and meta-analyses, using established methodologies, about any one of the many and varied aspects of lactation. We are not interested in a summary or a synthesis of a body of literature, rather accepted manuscripts will provide a critical analysis of the evidence that identifies gaps in what we know, evaluates methodologies researchers have used and hypotheses the next steps needed to continue building our evidence.
The submission deadline for the special issue is 1 February 2019.
