Author Guidelines

The 6th ICE on IMERI 2021

File Format: Manuscript files can be in the following formats: DOC or DOCX. Microsoft Word
documents should not be locked or protected.

Type of Manuscript:
Original articles These articles typically include randomized trials, intervention studies, studies of
screening and diagnostic tests, laboratory and animal studies, cohort studies, cost-effectiveness
analyses, case-control studies, and surveys with high response rates, which represent new and
significant contributions to the field.

Case Reports A detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an
individual patient. Describe an unusual or novel occurrence and, as such, remain one of the
cornerstones of medical progress and provide many new ideas in medicine.

Meta-analysis is a quantitative, formal, epidemiological study design used to systematically assess

previous research studies to derive conclusions about that body of research. Outcomes from a meta-
analysis may include a more precise estimate of the effect of treatment or risk factor for disease, or
other outcomes, than any individual study contributing to the pooled analysis. The examination of
variability or heterogeneity in study results is also a critical outcome.

Systematic reviews, as the name implies, typically involve a detailed and comprehensive plan and
search strategy derived a priori, with the goal of reducing bias by identifying, appraising, and
synthesizing all relevant studies on a particular topic. Often, systematic reviews include a meta-
analysis component which involves using statistical techniques to synthesize the data from several
studies into a single quantitative estimate or summary effect size.

Narrative review, is the commonest form of literature review. It aims to show how concepts,
theories and methods have developed within particular subject areas. The key differences between
concepts, theories and methods are: • Concepts : Terms and ideas used to describe a particular
phenomenon. • Theories : Ideas that have been developed to explain a specific phenomenon. •
Empirical research: Research that has already been undertaken to observe the phenomena.
Methodology: The philosophical approach adopted by a researcher to study a particular
phenomenon and not to be confused with methods. • Methods : Techniques such as questionnaires,
observation or interviewing used to collect data.

Case series, is a group or series of case reports involving patients who were given similar treatment.
Reports of case series usually contain detailed information about the individual patients. This
includes demographic information (for example, age, gender, ethnic origin) and information on
diagnosis, treatment, response to treatment, and follow-up after treatment.

Length: Manuscript abstract is limited to 250 words, and the full manuscript is limited to 3000 words.

Font: Use Times New Roman as a standard font.

Headings: Limit manuscript sections and sub-sections to 3 heading levels. Make sure heading levels
 are clearly indicated in the manuscript text.

Language: Manuscripts must be submitted in English.

Other Elements:
o Figure: Figure legends/captions are inserted immediately after the first paragraph in which the
figure is cited. Figure files are uploaded separately with a clear title such as Figure 1, Figure 2,
and so on. The figure should be in JPG or PNG type with a minimum of 300 dpi in quality.
o Tables: The table is inserted immediately after the first paragraph in which they are cited.
o Supported information files are uploaded separately.
Abbreviations: A list of abbreviations is not accepted. Define abbreviations the first time they are
used in the text and use them after that. No abbreviations in the abstract except for vary know ones.

Nomenclature:
Units of Use SI units. If you do not use these exclusively, provide the SI value in parentheses
measurement after each value.
Drugs Provide the Recommended International Non-Proprietary Name (rINN)
Species names Write in italics (e.g., Homo sapiens). Write out in full the genus and species, both
in the title of the manuscript and at the first mention of an organism in a paper. After
first mention, the first letter of the genus name followed by the full species name
may be used (e.g., H. sapiens).
Genes, mutations, Write in italics. Use the recommended name by consulting the appropriate genetic
genotypes, and nomenclature database (e.g., HGNC for human genes; we strongly recommend
alleles using this tool to check against previously approved names). It is sometimes
advisable to indicate the synonyms for the gene the first time it appears in the text.
Gene prefixes such as those used for oncogenes or cellular localization should be
shown in roman typeface (e.g., v-fes, c-MYC).
Allergens The systematic allergen nomenclature of the World Health
Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO/IUIS)
Allergen Nomenclature Sub-committee should be used for manuscripts that include
the description or use of allergenic proteins. For manuscripts describing new
allergens, the systematic name of the allergen should be approved by the WHO/IUIS
Allergen Nomenclature Sub-Committee prior to manuscript publication. Examples
of the systematic allergen nomenclature can be found at the WHO/IUIS Allergen
Nomenclature site.

References style: Please use the “Vancouver” style, as outlined in the ICMJE sample references.

Financial Disclosure Statement: This information should describe sources of funding that have
supported the work. Enter the statement of Financial Disclosure in the submission form. Do not
include it in your manuscript file.
