Instructions for Authors
Types of Papers
Current Medical Science welcomes a variety of paper types, including original article, review, commentary, perspective, guideline, consensus article, that align with our scope. All submissions must adhere to the following guidelines to ensure they meet our journal's standards:
Title and Abstract: Should be clear, concise, and reflective of the study's content.
Main Text: The manuscript should be written in clear and concise English, with proper grammar and punctuation. Non-native English speakers are encouraged to have their manuscripts professionally edited for language.
Figures and Tables: All figures and tables must be clear, legible, and appropriately labeled. They should complement, not duplicate, the text.
References: Include the most relevant and recent references in the field.
References should be cited in Vancouver style, with numbers corresponding to their order in the text, followed by the reference list in numerical order at the end of the manuscript.
For each reference, list the first three authors' surnames in full and the initials of each of their given names without spaces. If there are more than three authors, list the first three followed by "et al.".
We encourage authors to use reference managers such as EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley to minimize errors. This will significantly enhance the efficiency of paper publication.
Original Article:
An original and complete study that provides a full account of the research process, results, and conclusions. It should be innovative, outstanding and influential.
-Structured Abstract: Not exceeding 400 words. Divided into Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections.
-Main Text: Better not exceeding 8,000 words, excluding abstract, references, figures and tables. Should be divided into:
INTRODUCTION
MATERIALS AND METHODS
RESULTS
DISCUSSION
CONCLUSIONS
Brief Report：
A focused study that presents key findings in a concise manner, offering a snapshot of the research without the full details of a comprehensive study. The findings should be innovative and significant.
-Structure and Length： With the same structure with Original Article. Abstract not exceeding 300 words, main text not exceeding 2000 words, and no more than 20 references.
-Reminder: Given our limited space and high standards for this category, authors are strongly encouraged to contact the editorial team for confirmation before submitting a Brief Report.
Review:
Comprehensive works that provide an in-depth analysis of a special topic, summarizing current knowledge, including recent developments, and may offer suggestions for future research directions. Systematic reviews should follow the PRISMA reporting guidelines.
-Abstract: Not exceeding 400 words. Non-structured abstracts are acceptable for regular reviews, while structured abstracts are recommended for system reviews.
-Main Text: Better not exceeding 8,000 words, excluding abstract, references, figures and tables. Should contain ‘INTRODUCTION’ and ‘CONCLUSIONS’ sections. The body structure can be flexible, divided into subheadings as appropriate, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of the topic.
-Illustrations are strongly encouraged.
Perspective:
Perspective pieces that provide a broad and in-depth analysis of a topic, offering unique viewpoints, insights, and interpretations that extend beyond the findings of original research.
-Abstract: Not exceeding 300 words. Non-structured abstracts are acceptable.
-Main Text: Not exceeding 4,000 words. Should include an ‘INTRODUCTION’ section. The body structure can be flexible, organized as appropriate.
Editorial and Commentary:
Opinion pieces that offer analysis, critique, or recommendations on recent publications or developments within the field. These articles are short, concise, and narrowly focused.
-Structure & Length: Abstracts are NOT required. The body section can be freely structured to directly address the topic, not exceeding 2,000 words. Include no more than 10 references, focusing on the most recent and directly relevant literature.
-Peer Review: These articles are generally not peer-reviewed or may only be sent to the authors of the commented publications for response.
-Submission: Editorials and Commentaries are typically by invitation only. However, unsolicited submissions of Commentaries can also be considered when space allows.
Guidelines:
Articles that provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical research and practice, or public health policy. Guidelines should be developed through a rigorous process and provide clear, actionable advice.
-Abstract: Non-structured abstracts are acceptable
-Contents： The guidelines should include a brief overview, evidence-based recommendations graded by strength, evidence summaries (possibly supplemented with tables/figures), an analysis of implications, benefits, and limitations, and practical implementation advice.
-Length: While the length of guidelines can vary, they should be concise and focused. Striking a balance between comprehensiveness and brevity ensures user-friendliness without missing essential details.
consensus articles:
Documents that reflect the collective opinion of leading experts on a particular topic, often developed through consensus meetings or collaborative efforts. These papers should outline the rationale behind the consensus and its implications for the field.
-Abstract: Non-structured abstracts are acceptable.
-Length: Not exceeding 8000 words excluding abstract, references, figures and tables.
