2. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
HBSN is a member of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and follows the ICMJE recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journal and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)'s guidelines.
Manuscripts submitted must be the original work of the author(s) and must not be published previously or under consideration for publication elsewhere.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES
3.1 Original Article
Word limit: 6000 words max. Authors must use the most concise language possible, as well as succinct, structured sentences. The word count for the main text (excluding the abstract, references, tables, boxes, or figures) should be provided when the manuscript is submitted.
Abstract: Structured (usually into four paragraphs with the following subheadings: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, unless specified otherwise in the reporting checklists), 200-350 words max. No abbreviations.
Key words: 3~5.
References: No limit.
Figures/Tables: No limit, but 10 figures are deemed sufficient.
Description: Original articles should take the following format: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and/or Conclusions. Original articles must have originality and clinical impact. Original articles should follow EQUATOR Reporting Guidelines. Authors must upload the appropriate checklist under the file designation 'Other'.
Original articles should include a section describing the contribution made by each author to the manuscript. See the “4.4 Author Contributions” sections for details.
If a submitted article includes any data that are not publicly available, the authors are required to fill in a data-sharing statement form, which should be submitted along with their manuscript. If the article is accepted for publication, the Data Availability Statement (form) will be published online alongside the article. See the “4.7.2 Data Sharing Statement” section for details.
When a manuscript documents any experiment(s) involving human subjects or animals, the authors must indicate an ethical statement both in the methods section and the footnote. See the “4.7.5 Ethical Statement” section for details.
3.1.1 Reporting Checklist
Original Articles should be prepared according to the EQUATOR research reporting guidelines, as listed below, and each submission should include a checklist (a reformatted version has been created for the journal) as a supplementary material. The relevant page/line and section/paragraph number in the manuscript should be stated for each item in the checklist. A statement should be included at the end of the “Introduction” to indicate which reporting checklist was followed (e.g., “We present the following article/case in accordance with the CONSORT reporting checklist.” ). The manuscript should also include a Reporting Checklist statement in the footnote (see the “4.7 Footnote”). Failure to do so will result in the manuscript being returned to the authors for amendment.
……
*Authors may refer to the Extensions to the CONSORT Statement based on the specific study type; if a particular study type has not been included in the above list, authors can find more reporting guidelines on EQUATOR Network (https://www.equator-network.org/home/) and should indicate upon submission which guideline has been followed and provide related reporting checklist if available.
3.1.2 Selection And Description Of Participants
In study articles, the process of selection for observational or experimental subjects (healthy individuals or patients, including controls) should be clearly set out in the methods section. Any eligibility or exclusion criteria should be provided, along with a description of the population from which the subjects were sourced. Ideally, representative populations should be included in all study types and characteristics (such as age, sex, or ethnicity) of the study population should be described. Terms relating to sex (when reporting biological factors) and gender (identity, psychosocial or cultural factors) should be used correctly, and the sex and/or gender of the human participants, or the sex of animals or cells, should be reported, except where this is not appropriate. The methods used to classify sex and gender should also be described, where relevant. If the study focused on a specific population (e.g., only females), unless the reason is obvious (e.g., cervical cancer), the authors should explain their reasoning for this. For race and ethnicity, authors should describe how these were determined, and their relevance to the study should be explained. Study subjects should be described in the most neutral, exact, and respectful language possible. Any language that might cause the stigmatization of subjects must be avoided.
3.1.3 Research Resource Identifiers (RRID)
HBSN is pleased to be a part of the Research Resource Identification Initiative, a project aimed at clearly identifying key research resources, aka materials, used in the course of scientific experiments. These include antibodies, cell lines, model organisms, and software tools. To help authors quickly find the correct identifiers for their materials there is a single web site (https://scicrunch.org/resources) where all resource types can be found and a 'cite this' button next to each resource that contains proper citation text that should be included in the methods section of the manuscript. Several examples of properly formatted methods sections with RRIDs can be found below:
Antibodies: "antibody against ERK1 (Abgent Cat# AP7251E, RRID:AB_2140114)."
Cell Lines: "we used the following cell lines: RRID: CVCL_1H60,..."
Genetically modified organisms: "Fgf9Eks/Fgf9+ mice (RRID:MGI_3840442)..."
Software tools: "...terminals were mapped (Neurolucida, v10, RRID:SCR_001775)."
3.2 Review Article
Word limit: 6,000 words max. (including an abstract but excluding references, tables, and figures)
Abstract: Structured (Importance, Objective, Evidence Review, Findings, Conclusions and Relevance for Reviews; Importance, Objective, Data Sources, Study Selection, Data Extraction and Synthesis, Main Outcomes and Measures, Results, Conclusions and Relevance for Meta-analysis), 200-350 words max.
Key words: 3~5.
References: No limit.

It should set the problems addressed by the paper/report/event in the wider context of the field.
