Instructions for Authors
All journals published by NGHC Publications, are innovative, international, peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journals that aim to publish articles relevant for a wide range of stakeholders.
Authors can access a full-length submission preparation checklist here.
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously in print or electronic format and are not under consideration by another print or electronic publisher. A complete report following a presentation at a meeting or the publication of preliminary findings elsewhere (e.g., in an abstract) will be considered. Material that has been published as a preprint can be considered; any previous or simultaneous publication on the Internet must be disclosed in the cover letter. Include copies of potentially redundant or duplicative material that has been previously published, or is currently being considered elsewhere; provide links to duplicative material on the Internet.
NGHC Publications requires that all authors / coauthors have an ORCID (a unique researcher identifier) at the time of publication. Application for an ORCID is free of charge and only takes a few minutes - please go to ORCID.org to apply for one. We also recommend that corresponding authors contact all of their coauthors and encourage them to obtain an ORCID during the manuscript preparation process. While they can be added after submission, ORCIDs are required in case of acceptance.
Please review our Fee Schedule prior to submission to confirm the article processing fee for each NGHC Publication journal and the article types published in each journal.
Our requirements for submitted manuscripts are in accordance with the recommendations drawn up by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. For general information about the structure and content of a biomedical manuscript, authors should become familiar with the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals before reading our specific instructions for authors below.
The following instructions for authors are valid for all NGHC Publications journals. Additional journal-specific instructions may also apply, so please also be sure to look for those below. Author instructions are subject to revision, so please refer to them frequently before submitting your manuscript.
