Author Guidelines

Thank you for choosing the Journal of Clinical and Advanced Medicine (JCAM) for your research. JCAM accepts submissions of Original Research, Review Articles, Case Reports, Short Communications, and Editorials.

All submissions must strictly adhere to the formatting guidelines, structural prerequisites, and ethical principles outlined below. Manuscripts that do not conform may be returned to authors prior to undergoing peer review.

1. Subject Matter & Scope Alignment

Authors must ensure their work falls within the thematic boundaries of the journal. JCAM prioritizes rigorous, evidence-based advancements in the following areas:

  • Internal Medicine, Oncology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Surgery.
  • Molecular Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology.
  • Advanced Technologies: We strongly welcome papers integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, digital diagnostics, and big data applications within active clinical care workflows.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review Preparation

To protect the integrity of our Double-Blind Peer Review process, authors must completely separate identifying details from the scientific text. Submissions must consist of two separate files:

  1. Title Page (Separate File): Must contain the full article title, names of all authors, institutional affiliations, ORCID iDs, and explicit contact information (email/phone) for the designated corresponding author.
  2. Blinded Manuscript (Main File): The complete text of the paper formatted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx). Crucial: This file must not contain any author names, institutional clues, acknowledgments, or tracking metadata that reveal your identity.

3. Manuscript Formatting & Structure

  • File Format: Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) only.
  • Typography: Times New Roman or Arial, 12 pt font size, double-spaced throughout, with 1-inch (2.54 cm) margins on all sides.
  • Word Count & Layout: * Original Research / Reviews: Up to 5,000 words (excluding abstract/references).
    • Case Reports / Short Communications: Up to 2,500 words.
  • Abstract: A structured abstract (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion) not exceeding 250 words is mandatory for research papers.
  • Keywords: 3 to 6 distinct medical keywords separated by semicolons.
  • Main Text Structure (IMRaD): Submissions must follow the standard structural progression: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
  • Required Declarations: The end of the manuscript must feature explicitly labeled sections for: Conflict of Interest, Funding Disclosures, Acknowledgments (if applicable), and Ethical Approval Statements.

4. Tables, Figures, and Ethics

  • Tables: Must be editable (built inside Word), sequentially numbered (e.g., Table 1, Table 2), and include a clear, descriptive caption above the table.
  • Figures: High-resolution graphics (Minimum 300 DPI, .tiff or .jpeg formats) cited sequentially in the text.
  • Plagiarism Threshold: JCAM enforces a zero-tolerance policy for text recycling. All papers are screened electronically. The journal strictly accepts manuscripts with an overall similarity index of 15% or below (excluding references).
  • Ethical Clearances: Any study involving human clinical data or animal models must state the official Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval registration number.

5. Bibliographic & Citation Standards (Vancouver Style)

JCAM uses the standard Vancouver Style for references. References must be numbered consecutively in the order they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in the text body using superscript Arabic numerals placed after periods or commas (e.g., ...as verified in multi-center clinical trials.¹).

Common Citation Examples:

  • Standard Journal Article (Up to 6 Authors):

Kumar R, Sharma A, Patel K. Machine learning diagnostics in advanced pediatric oncology. J Clin Adv Med. 2025;1(1):15-22.

  • Journal Article (More than 6 Authors):

Smith J, Doe J, Jones M, et al. Artificial intelligence integration in modern surgical care workflows. J Clin Adv Med. 2026;2(1):45-58.

  • Book Citation:

Green B, White T. Principles of Internal Medicine and Molecular Therapeutics. 4th ed. Medical Excellence Press; 2024.

  • Book Chapter Citation:

Structural AI in Digital Cardiology. In: Brown L, ed. Advanced Computational Medicine. Academic Press; 2025:112-130.

6. Submission & Article Processing Charges (APC)

  • Submission Fee: 0 USD (There are no charges to submit a manuscript).
  • Article Processing Charge (APC): 500 USD. This fee is invoiced exclusively after your manuscript has successfully completed peer review and received a formal editorial acceptance notice.
  • Waiver Requests: JCAM offers 50% to 75% APC discounts or full waivers for self-funded researchers or authors from low-and-middle-income countries. Waiver applications must be uploaded as a supplementary letter during the initial submission phase.

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items. Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines may be returned to authors.

  • [ ] Originality & Double Submission: The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • [ ] File Format: The submission file is in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) document file format.
  • [ ] Double-Blind Anonymization: Where available, URLs for the references have been provided. The main manuscript file has been completely anonymized: all author names, institutional affiliations, and identifying metadata have been removed from the text and document properties to ensure a fair double-blind peer review. A separate Title Page containing all author details has been prepared for upload.
  • [ ] Formatting & Layout: The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font (e.g., Times New Roman or Arial); employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • [ ] Bibliographic Standards: The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, using the Vancouver Citation Style consecutively numbered in superscript Arabic numerals (e.g., ¹).
  • [ ] Plagiarism Threshold: The manuscript has been screened for text recycling and possesses an overall similarity index of 15% or below (excluding references). The authors acknowledge that any higher index will result in an immediate desk rejection.
  • [ ] Ethical Clearances & Declarations: For studies involving human subjects or animal models, explicit Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval numbers are documented within the text, and statements for Conflicts of Interest and Funding have been appended.

Research Articles
