Manuscript Templates
AUTHOR RESOURCES
Manuscript Templates
The official JDHAB manuscript templates provide the required scientific structure for preparing submissions according to the journal’s editorial, technical, ethical, and production standards.
Authors must prepare submissions using the official Journal of Digital Health and Advanced Biomaterials — JDHAB template corresponding to the selected article type.
The templates support technical screening, editorial evaluation, peer review, metadata consistency, reporting completeness, and production standardization.
All templates are publicly available and may be downloaded without registration or login.
Official Manuscript Templates
Select the template corresponding to the intended manuscript category. Authors should not rebuild the manuscript in a generic layout or use a template intended for another article type.
Review Article
Review Article — Manuscript Template
For systematic, scoping, narrative, critical, integrative, and other evidence-synthesis manuscripts.
Methods and Validation
Methods and Validation — Manuscript Template
For methodological studies, validation studies, technical reports, software, protocols, reproducibility studies, and digital workflows.
Case Report / Case Series
Case Report / Case Series — Manuscript Template
For clinically relevant individual cases or case series with appropriate documentation, consent, analysis, and follow-up.
Template Use
Select the Correct Article Type
Use the template corresponding exactly to the manuscript category selected during submission. The scientific structure, abstract format, headings, reporting requirements, and internal guidance differ among article types.
Use from the Beginning
The selected template should be used from the beginning of manuscript preparation. Retrofitting a completed manuscript may introduce formatting inconsistencies, missing declarations, or incomplete metadata.
Preserve the Required Structure
Authors should retain all required sections and scientific headings. Sections identified as optional may be removed only when they are not applicable to the study design.
Remove Instructional Text
Before submission, remove all embedded instructions, explanatory notes, example text, unused placeholders, and template fields that do not form part of the final manuscript.
Blinded Review File
When double-anonymized review is required, authors should derive the blinded file from the same official template, removing identifying information while preserving headings, tables, figures, references, and applicable declarations.
Production Consistency
Using the official templates helps preserve consistency across editorial review, PDF and HTML production, metadata, indexing records, reference formatting, and long-term journal archiving.
Before Using a Template
Confirm Scope
Verify that the manuscript fits JDHAB’s scope in digital health, advanced biomaterials, biomedical technologies, clinical measurement, validation, or translational scientific workflows.
Select Article Type
Choose the correct manuscript category and confirm the applicable limits for word count, abstract, figures, tables, and references.
Prepare Declarations
Include ethics approval, informed consent, consent for publication, competing interests, funding, data availability, code availability, and artificial intelligence disclosure when applicable.
Review References
Ensure that citations and references follow Vancouver style, NLM journal abbreviations, sentence-case article titles, and DOI inclusion whenever available.
Submission Requirements
Technical Screening
Submissions that do not use the correct official template, follow the required manuscript structure, or include the applicable reporting and ethical information may be returned for technical correction before editorial assessment or peer review.
Editable Content
Submit the main manuscript as an editable Microsoft Word file. Tables must remain editable, and figures should also be supplied as separate publication-quality files when requested.
