  • Title (concise and informative)
  • Authors and Affiliations
  • Abstract (structured summary, 150-250 words)
  • Keywords (3-6 keywords)
  • Introduction (background, research gap, objectives)
  • Methods (detailed description, e.g. study design, respondent,data collection, data analysis, and ethical clearance)
  • Results (clear presentation of findings with tables and figures)
  • Discussion (interpretation, significance, limitations, and future research directions)
  • Conclusion (summary of findings and implications)
  • Acknowledgment (optional)
  • Conflict of interest
  • References (formatted in APA 7th style, minimum 20 references)
  • Word count: 3000 - 8000 words

Case Report [Template]

  • Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications.
  • Unexpected or unusual symptoms of illness.
    New associations or variations in the disease process.
  • Presentation, diagnosis and/or management of new and emerging diseases.
  • Unexpected relationships between diseases or symptoms.

Manuscript Structure:

  • Title (reflecting the review scope)
  • Authors and Affiliations
  • Abstract (structured summary, 150-250 words)
  • Keywords (3-6 keywords)
  • Introduction (rationale, research gap, objectives)

  • Main Discussion (critical synthesis, thematic analysis)
  • Conclusion (summary, research gaps, recommendations)
  • References (minimum 30 references in APA 7th style)
  • Word count: 4000 - 8000 words
