Plagiarism

According to the World Association of Medical Editors, plagiarism is described as

“…the use of others' published and unpublished ideas or words (or other intellectual
property) without attribution or permission, and presenting them as new and original
rather than derived from an existing source. The intent and effect of plagiarism are to
mislead the reader as to the contributions of the plagiarizer. This applies whether the
ideas or words are taken from abstracts, research grant applications, Institutional Review
Board applications, or unpublished or published manuscripts in any publication format
(print or electronic).”

In order to prevent plagiarism, it is advised for authors to have their manuscripts

screened for plagiarism using software such as iThenticate, before submission for
publication. Any plagiarism detected before or after publication will be addressed
promptly by the editorial board.

responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html). Author name should
be listed in First Name – Middle Name – Surname.

Reporting Guideline and Article Types

Each article submitted must be prepared according to guidelines and/or checklists based
on its type, defined by the EQUATOR Network. https://www.equator-
network.org/reporting-guidelines/

Formatting

Style

Text should be 1.5-spaced. The typeface should be Times/Times New Roman or similar
serif typeface. Body text size should be no smaller than 10 pt and no larger than 12 pt. 
Page size should be international A4 size (210 × 297 millimeters). Include page numbers in
the manuscript file.

Title

The full title should be specific, descriptive, concise, and comprehensible to readers
outside the subject field. Authors should include the species or model system used (for
biological papers) or the type of study design (for clinical papers).

Authors and Affiliation

 All author names should be listed in the following order: First names, middle names (or
initials, if used), and last names (surname, family name), followed by medical and/or
highest academic degrees (eg, MD, Ph.D.). Each author should list an associated
department, university, or organizational affiliation and its location, including city,
state/province (if applicable), and country. Other parties who contributed to the scientific
paper that did not meet the criteria for authorship can be listed in the Acknowledgement
section.

When a large group or center has conducted the work, the author list should include the
individuals whose contributions meet the authorship criteria defined above, as well as the
group name. Authors should also disclose whether they had any writing assistance.

One author should be designated as the corresponding author, and his or her email
address should be included on the manuscript cover page. This information will be
published with the article when accepted.

Abstract

The abstract should be no more than 350 words, summarizing the problem being
considered, how the study was performed, the salient results, and the principal
conclusions. Specific instructions regarding abstract structure are often included in the
relevant reporting guidelines checklist.

Introduction/Materials and Methods/Results/Discussion and Conclusions

The overall structure of your manuscript text should be in compliance with the
corresponding reporting guideline. For example, a CONSORT compliant manuscript
should include the following sections, as defined by the CONSORT checklist:

 Introduction

 Methods

 Results

 Discussion

 Other Information

Statistical Analysis

In the Methods section:

 Identify the statistical tests used to analyze the data and the determined P value
that was taken to indicate a significant difference.
  Cite only textbooks and published article references to support your choices of
tests.

 Identify any statistics software used. (List software name, version, and company
in parentheses in the text, not in the reference list.)

In the Results section:

 Report actual P values rather than thresholds: not just whether the P value was
above or below the significant-difference threshold. Example: write "P = 0.18", not
"P > 0.05" or "P = NS."

 P should be expressed to 2 digits for P ≥ 0.01 because expressing P to more than 3

digits does not add useful information. If P < 0.001, it should be expressed as P <
0.001, rather than P < 0.0001 or P = 0.00001 for example. In certain types of studies,
it may be important to express P values to more significant digits. Please consult the
AMA Manual of Style for further direction.

Clinical Trial: an experimental study assessing the effect of 2 or more interventions.

Reporting should follow the CONSORT flowchart matching the study design. For non-
randomized trials involving habit or behavioral interventions, follow the TREND
guidelines.

Decision Analysis or Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: a study analyzing the optimal choice of

clinical care by projecting the consequences of different medical care options. The report
should follow the Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine (Sanders et
al. JAMA. 2016;316[10]: 1093-1103) to report economic evaluations of health interventions.

Diagnostic Study: A study that compares the performance of 2 or more diagnostic tests or
strategies. Authors should follow the STARD guidelines.

Observational Study: Studies that observe patients who are exposed to certain potential
risk factors or interventions, where researchers do not assign the interventions to the
study’s subjects. This includes cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies. Authors
should follow the STROBE guidelines with respect to their study designs.

Prognostic Study: A study that estimates the risk of a certain clinical endpoint associated
with potential risk factors or predictors in a defined period of time. Authors should follow
the TRIPOD guidelines.

Systematic Review or Meta-Analysis: A systematic review is an appraisal of current

evidence in a certain field, using an explicit protocol to identify, appraise, and synthesize
the studies of a similar question. Meta-analysis further quantifies the result of a
systematic review. Authors should use the PRISMA flow diagram to report the study yield
and selection.

Case Report

A case report presents an interesting, rare, and/or novel clinical case regarding newly
described clinical presentation, diagnostic dilemma, or treatment responses that need
further insight into the underlying mechanism. Limited to 1,500 words and requiring an
unstructured abstract (150-200 words). The reference list should be no more of 20 in total
and tables/figures should be a maximum of 2 in total. Authors should follow the CARE
guidelines when applicable.

Evidence-Based Case Report: An evidence-based case report (EBCR) is a case report from
which the author formulates a structured clinical question. This question generates key
terms that can be used for yielding articles from an evidence database. After the relevant
evidence has been identified and appraised, clinician informs a management plan for the
patient based on the result and the clinician’s clinical experiential knowledge.

Review Article

Also known as a narrative review, this article explores clinical, translational, or basic
science topic of interests. The article should be comprehensive, clinically relevant, and
balanced. Basic science articles should discuss the relevance of cellular or biomolecular
aspects to clinical diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment. The article should consist of up to
4000 words, including 150-200 words of unstructured abstract. The reference list should
be no more than 100. Authors are encouraged to use figures, tables, and boxes up to 8 in
