Manuscript Submission Guidelines

Article Preparation

Authors preparing to submit their manuscript should carefully follow the provided guidelines, which include formatting, citation style, word count limits, and other important details necessary for meeting publication standards. Adherence to these guidelines increases the chances of a successful submission and ensures a smoother editorial process for both the authors and the publication. This attention to detail demonstrates professionalism and respect for the peer review process.

Cover Letter

Each submission must include a cover letter specifying the article type and confirming the work is not published or under review elsewhere. Include a concise summary of the article's main point and the names, affiliations, and email addresses of five potential referees.

• Title of the article, Authors with respective titles (MD, PhD, MS, etc), institutions, and departments, city, state, and contact emails (12 author limit).

• Please provide the complete contact information for the corresponding author and the first author, including phone number(s).

Abstract

Each article should contain an abstract that succinctly summarizes its content. Minimize the use of abbreviations and refrain from referencing within the abstract. Clearly outline the objectives of the study without providing a detailed summary of the findings.
