International Journal of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences, covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
Our aim is to serve as an international platform for fostering interdisciplinary discussions and advancing medicine. We strive to benefit both readers and authors by accelerating the dissemination of research findings and facilitating maximum access to scholarly communication.
The manuscript must be presented in formats compatible with Microsoft Word. They must use a 12-point font, have double spacing, and maintain margins of 2.5 cm on all sides. Additionally, each page should be numbered, and a header with a descriptive title (with authors' names concealed) must be included on every page.
The title page needs to be submitted separately from the main manuscript. Reviewers will receive the manuscript without the title page to maintain anonymity. The information required on the title page includes:
The title page must be submitted separately (the manuscript will be sent to reviewers without it). Information required on the title page includes:
The abstract should provide a succinct overview of the hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusions of the study. Abstracts exceeding 250 words will not be considered. A "word" is defined as one or more characters separated by white space. It should be presented as a single paragraph. It's crucial to note that the abstract entered into the online metadata form during submission will be published online exactly as it is entered.
This unheaded section should include a clear statement outlining the objectives of the research or the hypotheses under investigation. Additionally, it should provide a concise overview of the pertinent background information that supports the rationale behind the study. The Introduction should not exceed 1000 words in length.
In this section, provide explicit and concise descriptions of all new methods or procedures utilized. While modifications to previously published methods must be outlined, commonly used procedures only necessitate a citation of the original source. Descriptions of methods should be thorough enough to enable readers to assess the accuracy, reproducibility, and reliability of the experiments. Additionally, include the name and location (city, state, or country) of commercial suppliers for chemicals, reagents, and equipment. Any compounds, reagents, or equipment not commercially available should be identified by name and affiliation here or in the Acknowledgments section.
In this section, experimental data are presented without discussing their significance. Results are typically showcased in figures or tables, ensuring no repetition of information in the text. If a table or figure contains fewer than four values, the data should be incorporated into the text instead of being presented separately. Numeric magnitudes of variables should be expressed using numerals. Units are generally abbreviated without punctuation, and there's no distinction between singular and plural forms (e.g., 1 mg, 25 mg). Adequate data should be provided to enable assessment of result variability and reliability. Statistical probability (p) should be indicated in tables, figures, and their legends as *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001. For subsequent comparisons, one, two, or three daggers may be utilized. In tables with multiple comparisons, lowercase superscript letters in footnotes are used and defined in the table legend.
This section encompasses conclusions drawn from the presented results. While speculative discussion is permissible, it should be clearly labeled as such and grounded in the presented data. The Discussion should strive for conciseness and must not surpass 2000 words.
The Acknowledgments section is positioned at the conclusion of the text. Here, personal assistance is acknowledged. Financial support is recognized as an unnumbered footnote to the title.
References in the text should follow this format: citing the first author's name (or the first and second authors' names if they are the only authors) and the year of publication (e.g., Ruth and Gehrig, 1929; McCarthy, 1952; or Kennedy et al., 1960). In the reference list, entries should be arranged alphabetically by author and numbered. The names of all authors should be provided in the reference list. If multiple publications by the same author(s) in the same year are referenced, suffixes (a, b, c, etc.) should be appended to the year in both the text citation and the reference list. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the Medline abbreviation list linked to the online Instructions to Authors.
Each table should be double-spaced and commence on a new page, with page numbering continuing consecutively with the rest of the manuscript. Tables are sequentially numbered using Arabic numerals. A concise descriptive title should be placed at the top of each table, followed by general statements about the table in paragraph form. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by lowercase superscript letters and defined below the table. Acceptable formats for tables include Word and WordPerfect. Avoid embedding tables within the body of the manuscript. Tables should be self-explanatory and serve to complement, rather than replicate, the information presented in the text.
Each figure should be submitted as a separate file, formatted as .tif, .eps, or .jpg, with a resolution of 600+ dots per inch (dpi), and scaled to fit an A4 page. Authors are encouraged to avoid submitting .ppt files, as they may not reproduce as clearly as other formats. Ensure that each figure is labeled on the front with its corresponding figure number.
As a prerequisite for publication, authors agree to distribute freely, whenever feasible, any reagents (such as novel chemicals, DNA, antibodies) developed for the study to academic researchers for their personal use, provided quantities allow. Nucleic acid and protein sequences, along with X-ray crystallographic coordinates, must be deposited in the appropriate databases with a release date no later than the publication date. Sequence accession numbers should be provided in the text.
In the text, tables, and figures, generic drug names are utilized. Trade names may be provided in parentheses following the first text reference but should not be included in titles, figures, or tables. While trade names are capitalized, generic or chemical names are not. For new compounds, the chemical structure should be provided (or a citation to the published structure). Additionally, the form used in calculating concentrations (e.g., base or salt) must be indicated.
Revised manuscripts should be submitted within the specified timeframe and must include either an itemized list of all changes made or a rebuttal addressing each of the reviewers' suggestions. Ensure that you retrieve the Revision Checklist to address any publishing format deficiencies relevant to your manuscript. Ensure that all source files are included and that figures adhere to the specified specifications (refer to Figures). Please note that publication of accepted papers may be delayed pending the correction of any outstanding deficiencies.
Authors will receive an email containing their page proofs. These proofs should be printed out, corrected, and then mailed to the compositor. Detailed instructions will be provided along with the page proofs. Additionally, an order form for reprints will be included with the page proofs.
