Author Guidelines

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 

These represent a substantial body of laboratory or clinical work. Extended reports should not exceed 7000 words plus references; articles that exceed this word limit may be returned for revision before peer review. Additional data may be presented as supplementary information, which will be published online only should the article be accepted (this can be in any format: text, tables, images, etc.).

 

Original article should be presented in sections - namely:

  1. Title of The Article. The study design should be stated on the title
  2. Abstract. No more than 250 words, summarising the problem being considered, how the study was performed, the salient results and the principal conclusions under subheadings ‘Introduction’, ‘Methods’, ‘Results and Discussions’, and ‘Conclusion’. Please define abstract in English.
  3. Key words. No more than 5. These should be given beneath the Abstract and in the box provided in the online submission process.
  4. Introduction. No more than 4 paragraphs. Without subtitle, state the rationale for the study, identify a problem main problem/the study purpose, establish a gap in the current knowledge/state the novelties, and articulate a hook that convinces readers that this gap is of consequence. Brief description of the background that led to the study (current results and conclusions should not be included).
  5. Methods. Please state the study design. Details relevant to the conduct of the study. Wherever possible give numbers of subjects studied (not percentages alone). Statistical methods should be clearly explained at the end of this section and its analyses must be explained on the methods used.
  6. Results and Discussions. Work should be reported in SI units. Undue repetition in text and tables should be avoided. Comment on validity and significance of results is appropriate but broader discussion of their implication is restricted to the next section. Subheadings that aid clarity of presentation within this and the previous section are encouraged.
  7. Discussion. The nature and findings of the study are placed in context of other relevant published data. Caveats to the study should be discussed. Avoid undue extrapolation from the study topic.
  8. Conclusion
  9. Acknowledgments and affiliations. Individuals with direct involvement in the study but not included in authorship may be acknowledged. The source of financial support and industry affiliations of all those involved must be stated.
  10. References (usually below 30). Please see References for further style guidance. Consist of references of minimal 10 years recently and in the form of essay.
  11. Figure legends Maximum 6 tables and/or figures. Please see Illustrations and tables for further style guidance.
