AUTHOR GUIDLINES

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

Authors can submit manuscripts in the health sector in the broadest sense to be published as articles in this journal. The number of authors is not limited, and information about authors submitted online must be exactly the same as written in the manuscript, both in terms of the number and completeness of the author's identity. If this is not complied with, the submission will be rejected.

Authors must choose one of the following types of articles:

  1. Research (summary of research results)
  2. Case Report (summary of case reports)
  3. Literature Review (review of previous research results)

  3. Abstract equipped with keywords
  4. Introduction
  5. Method

The systematics of writing manuscripts for editorials are:

  1. Title
  2. Author equipped with affiliation, e-mail and correspondence
  3. Untitled content, containing up-to-date relevant information

All manuscripts must be written in the provided article template. Please visit the "ARTICLE TEMPLATE" menu to get it. An article template is a place to write articles which is also a guide for writers. The author must follow all content and writing format in the article template. All text formats that appear in the template should be considered guidelines, although sometimes they are not accompanied by an explicit explanation. For example, if a paragraph is written in 1 cm indentation, use Times New Roman 10 regular font, with 1 space without additional spacing with the previous or next paragraph. It should be considered as a guide. Authors are not allowed to write with different content and formats.

For clarity, please read the following advanced instructions carefully before starting to write articles.

  1. Manuscripts must be written in the article template, not in a separate file
  2. All instructions and examples must be read carefully and then applied. For example, if the title in the template is written in the format Capitalize Each Word, Time New Roman 10, bold and positioned in the middle, then the author must follow these rules. Please also comply with the provisions and examples of author writing, affiliations, abstracts, introductions, methods, results, discussion and bibliography.
  3. Be careful in writing the author's name, because the author himself knows the truth. Not allowed to write word abbreviations, for example Meta becomes "M". Unless the author's official name is an abbreviation.
  4. Provisions for writing tables and figures must be complied with. Please pay close attention to the rules for writing table and figure titles, sentence formats, including avoiding the use of the BOLD format. For image titles, it is not permitted to change the word "picture" into other words such as: diagrams, charts, flows, schemes, graphs and so on.
  5. Citation and bibliography should be written in Vancouver style. Citation in paragraphs must be written using numbers sequentially starting from number 1, written in brackets, and in superscript position. The author must really understand writing bibliography using the Vancouver style. Please note that the Vancouver style differs from other styles for reference writing in the form of journal articles, proceeding articles, website pages, books, book chapters, magazines and so on. If you use citation software, such as Mendeley, then the risks of errors can be avoided more effectively.

Please be careful in writing the bibliography manually, because there are often errors in using the. (dot), : (colon), ; (semicolon), spaces, brackets and so on.

Prior to submission, the manuscript must be checked repeatedly to ensure that the manuscript has been written correctly both in terms of writing and content. The editor will expressly reject submissions that are not written in accordance with applicable regulations.
