General Principles

As a basic requirement, all articles submitted to the Green Medical Journal must be original work, which has never been published previously and is submitted exclusively to the Green Medical Journal. They must be written in the format of “Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals” (http://www.icmje.org/), which was established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and updated in December 2018. The Editorial Board reserves the right to edit all articles in aspects of style, format, and clarity. Authors may be required to revise their manuscripts for reasons of any aspect. Manuscripts with excessive errors in any aspect may be returned to authors for retyping or may be rejected. All manuscripts will be subjected to peer and editorial review.

We accept four types of articles: (1) original articles: basic medical research, clinical research, or community research; (2) case report; (3) review article. Basic medical research covers in vitro research or animal studies. Clinical research covers studies done in human subjects. Community research covers studies done in the community and related to health policy. Case reports cover interesting reports of single case and case series that also provide some statistical analysis. Review articles include systematic and narrative reviews that have novelty in the medical field. Brief communications include preliminary reports and manuscripts that do not cover the above categories but are still related to and have an important impact on medical research and health policy.

Authors must also supply:

1. ICMJE conflicts of interest statement form
2. Copy of ethical approval (when needed), and
3. Final checklist signed by all author(s).

A cover letter should be provided along with the submission addressed to the Editor-in-chief of Green Medical Journal which should include a statement about all previous submissions of the manuscript and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant publication of the work. If the manuscript has been submitted previously to another journal, authors are encouraged to provide previous comments along with the responses to accelerate the review process. Author(s) also have to mention the work whether it has been presented in a congress/conference/seminar.

Templates are available for original articles and case reports.
