Cell. Mol. Biomed. Rep. Article Types:

1 Review Article

These articles consist of Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis, Meta-Synthesis, Scoping Review, Literature Review, and Narrative Review. These articles may be up to 7000 words excluding abstract, tables, and references. Inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies should be described in a flow diagram. The specific type of study or analysis, intervention, population, exposure, outcomes or tests should be described for each data source or article. Authors are to clearly cover the following topics in the method section: search strategy and selection criteria, data extraction, quality assessment, and data analysis. A structured abstract is required that should include: Background; Methods and Analysis; Discussion; Registry and number (if the protocol of these articles had been registered in a registry system).

For these articles authors need to complete and include a PRISMA-P checklist (please find it from http://prisma-statement.org/prismastatement/Checklist.aspx) and upload as a supplementary file. Authors MUST ensure that all points are included and state page numbers where each item can be found.

 

2. Study Protocol

IJHPM welcomes study protocols for any study design. We will not consider the manuscript if the data collection is complete. Protocols for studies that will require ethical approval, such as trials, will not be considered without receiving the approval. By publishing your study protocol at the IJHPM, you are not committed to submit subsequent reports of the study to IJHPM, although we do welcome such submissions. 

Study protocols should be maximum 5000 words (excluding abstract, figures, tables, and references) and cover the following components:

• Title: this should include the specific study type, e.g. randomised controlled trial.
• Abstract: this should be structured with the following sections. Background; Methods and Analysis; Discussion; Registry and number (if the protocol had been registered in a registry system).
• Background: explain the rationale for the study and the gap in the literature it may fill.
• Methods and Analysis: provide a thorough description of the study design, including sample selection; interventions to be measured; the sample size calculation; procedures, measurements and analytical techniques; a data analysis plan.
• Discussion: discuss how the methods and statistics will meet the study aims.

We recommend registering the protocol in PROSPERO(https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO). This makes the review process for these articles faster as they have already passed a review process.

 

3. Original Article

These articles must be of primary research, methodologically accurate, and relevant to international health policy and management. They should contain no more than 7000 words excluding structured abstract, tables, and references. Each manuscript should clearly state an objective or hypothesis; the design of study and methodology (including study setting, patients or participants, inclusion and exclusion criteria, sampling and data source); data analysis and interpretations; the main results of the study, discussing the results; addressing study limitations and the conclusion. For all original articles, a structured abstract is required (please see instructions for preparing Abstracts(https://www.ijhpm.com/journal/authors.note.php#Abstract)). In line with the Knowledge Translation movements, IJHPM has adopted an initiative by which all original articles are required to have Key Messages under two separate headings namely: Implications for Policy Makers and Implications for Public (please see instructions for preparing Key Messages(www.ijhpm.com/journal/authors.note#KeyMessages)). Only original articles require Key Messages.

You can submit your manuscript using the Sample Word Template provided here(https://www.cmbr-journal.com/contacts ).

 

4. Short Communication

Short communications are short articles (mini original articles) that present original and important preliminary findings that do not warrant publication as a full-length article but are still worthy of publication. Short communications should have an un-structured abstract and should not be more than 4000 words including references and up to three tables or figures. The main text should be sub-divided into background, methods, results, and discussion, but should be written as concisely as possible. To maintain brevity, these articles do not need key messages.

 

5. Commentary

These articles are invited on selected Cell. Mol. Biomed. Rep. publications mainly from leading scholars in the field. Authors of the lead article and editors decide whom to invite. These types of articles should not be more than 2000 words including maximum 2 figures or tables with an unstructured abstract. 

 

6. Correspondence

These articles are mainly written in response to published commentaries by authors whose articles have been subject to commentaries. These types of articles should not exceed 1000 words including maximum 1 table or figure, references and the main text. No abstract is required for these articles. 

 

7. Letter to Editor

We welcome short letters with topics of interest to the Cell. Mol. Biomed. Rep. readership. These letters should not exceed 700 words including only one table or figure, references and the main text. No abstract is required for these articles. 

Please insert the type of your manuscript on top of the Title Page and Main Manuscript.
