Author's Guidelines

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has created a comprehensive set of guidelines for submitting works to medical journals that serves as a great starting point for familiarizing yourself with manuscript requirements. The guidelines cover both manuscript preparation and ethical considerations. In addition, the ICMJE maintains a list of journals that agree with these guidelines. Please note it is imperative that you review the submission instructions for the journal you wish to publish in even if it is listed to verify that your work meets its specific requirements.  Links to the submission requirements for various journals can be found below.
