Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original scholarly manuscripts relevant to medical and health sciences. Manuscripts may include original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, commentaries or opinion articles, subject to the journal’s scope and editorial consideration.

All manuscripts must be prepared using the official journal template provided in the submission system. Manuscripts should be typed using Arial font, size 10.5, unless otherwise specified in the template. Authors should follow the format, section headings, reference style and declaration sections shown in the template.

The manuscript should include the article title, author names, affiliations, corresponding author details, abstract, keywords, main text, declarations and references, as applicable. The corresponding author should be clearly indicated with a valid email address.

The abstract should not exceed 250 words and should summarise the background, aim, methods, main findings and conclusion of the manuscript. Authors should provide 3 to 6 relevant keywords below the abstract.

For original research articles, the recommended structure is Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion. For review articles and other article types, authors may use suitable headings and subheadings according to the scope and nature of the manuscript.

References should follow Vancouver style, as shown in the journal template. In-text citations should be numbered consecutively, and the reference list should be arranged according to the order of citation in the manuscript.

All manuscripts must be original, not previously published and not under consideration by another journal. The editorial office reserves the right to return manuscripts that do not comply with the journal template or submission requirements.
