Thank you for considering to submit your work to the World Journal of Medical Education and Research (WJMER). To submit a manuscript to WJMER, please adhere to the following guidelines. This is to ensure that your article is processed efficiently and in a timely manner. It will also minimise delays due to the need for amendments and corrections. The articles also have to conform to the uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals, drawn up by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/).

The specific requirements for submission to WJMER are as follows

1. Save as a Microsoft Word 2003, 2007, 2010 document or in Rich Text Format. Please do not send as a PDF document.
2. Use typeface (font) ‘Arial’ throughout with the following sizes:

4. If your article has more than one author, then in the cover page you should state the role of each additional author (e.g., co-author, data collector, supervisor etc). If your article has more than four authors, then the reason for this should be explained (e.g., multicentre study, part of a longitudinal or cohort study, part of a major research study).
5. Any competing interest you may have in writing or submitting this article (e.g., financial or consultancy) should be disclosed in the cover page of the article. If your study received any funding from a commercial source or a pharmaceutical company, then kindly state the independence of the authors (researchers) from the funders and sponsors. If there is no competing interest or funding source, please include a statement highlighting this.

10. If tables and figures are provided, please discount 100 words per table or per image from the main text. For example, if your article has 5 figures and 4 tables, this equates to 900 words (in terms of article size). Hence the maximum word count in this instance should be 2,100 words of text.
11. A maximum of 30 references is allowed and it is the author’s responsibility to check the accuracy of the references.
12. References should be in Vancouver style – this means numeric superscript in the main text (e.g.,TGF-ß3 has been previously reported to have anti-scarring properties¹. This has been corroborated in the study by Moses and colleagues in 2003².)
13. The references should be listed in the following order: Author surname, initial. Title of article. Journal. Date of publication. Volume/Version. Page number.e.g., Jones M, Smith R.

14. Images need to be submitted as a separate file. Please do not include them (do not embed) within the main body of the text. High resolution images should be grouped together and uploaded as an archive (zip format).
