General Standards

Language Editing

Journal of World Future Medicine, Health and Nursing requires manuscripts submitted for consideration to meet international standards for the English language. Articles are normally published only in English.

For authors who would like their manuscript to receive language editing or proofing to improve clarity, the journal recommends the language-editing services provided by internal or external partners (contact the Principal of the journal for further information).

Note that sending your manuscript for language editing does not imply or guarantee acceptance for publication. Editorial decisions on the scientific content of a manuscript are independent of whether it has received language editing or proofing.

Language Style

The default language style is American English. If you prefer your article to be formatted in British English, please specify this on the first page of your manuscript.

Article Length / Word Count

Articles should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length. This includes all text — the abstract, references, and all text in tables, figures, and appendices.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

• Include a few of your article's keywords in the title.
• Avoid long article titles.
• Pick 3–5 keywords using a mix of generic and specific terms on the article's subject(s).
• Use the maximum number of relevant keywords in the first two sentences of the abstract.
• Use some keywords in level-1 headings.

Title

The title should be concise, omitting implicit terms, and where possible, state the main result or conclusion of the manuscript. Abbreviations should be avoided within the title.

Witty or creative titles are welcome, but only if relevant and within measure. Consider whether a title meant to be thought-provoking might be misinterpreted as offensive or alarming. In extreme cases, the editorial office may veto a title and propose an alternative.

Authors and Affiliations

All names are listed together, separated by commas. Provide exact and correct author names, as these will be indexed in official archives. Affiliations should be keyed to the author's name with superscript numbers and listed as: Institute/University/Organisation, Country (without detailed address information such as city zip codes or street names).

Example: Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Al-Hikmah Pariangan Batusangkar, Indonesia.

The Corresponding Author(s) should be marked with a superscript symbol. Provide the exact contact email address of the corresponding author(s) in a separate section below the affiliations. Only the email address is required — detailed postal addresses should not be included.

Headings and Sub-headings

Capitalize headings and capitalize each word of subheadings. Headings are in Times New Roman, 12, bold; subheadings are in Times New Roman, 12, bold.

Abstract

As a primary goal, the abstract should render the general significance and conceptual advance of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. Minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references. The abstract should be between 150 and 200 words in length, written in English. The abstract is written in Times New Roman, 10-point.

Tips — the abstract should cover:

• Background of the study
• Aims and scope of the paper
• Methods
• Summary of results or findings
• Conclusions

Keywords

All article types: provide up to 5 keywords; at least 3 are mandatory. Keywords are written in Times New Roman, 10-point.

Text

The body text is in 12-point normal Times New Roman. New paragraphs are separated with a single empty line. The entire document should be single-spaced and contain page and line numbers to facilitate the review process. Manuscripts should be prepared using MS Word (compatible with .doc/.docx format).

Nomenclature

The use of abbreviations should be kept to a minimum. Non-standard abbreviations should be avoided unless they appear at least four times, and must be defined upon first use in the main text. Consider also providing a list of non-standard abbreviations at the end, immediately before the Acknowledgments.

Manuscript Template

All submissions must be prepared using the official Journal of World Future Medicine, Health and Nursing manuscript template. Manuscripts not prepared using the template may be returned to the author before entering peer review.

Sections

Your manuscript is organized by headings and subheadings. For Original Research Articles, manuscripts must be organized in the following order:

Introduction

The purpose of the Introduction is to stimulate the reader's interest and provide the background information necessary to understand the rest of the paper. Summarize the problem to be addressed, give background on the subject, discuss previous research, and explain what the paper will address, why, and how. Avoid turning your introduction into a mini-review.

Tips:

• Begin with a concise background of the problem studied.
• State the objective of the investigation.
• Establish the significance of your work.
• Introduce pertinent literature without a full history — cite only work with direct bearing on the present problem.
• State the gap analysis or novelty statement.
• Clearly state your hypothesis, variables investigated, and briefly summarize the methods used.
• Define any abbreviations or specialized/regional terms.

Example of a novelty/gap statement: "...(short summary of background)... A few researchers focused on ... There have been limited studies concerned with ... Therefore, this research intends to ... The objectives of this research are ..."

Move from general to specific. Please avoid making subsections within the Introduction.

Method

Explain clearly how you conducted your research so that readers can (1) evaluate the work performed, and (2) replicate your research, maintaining a balance between brevity and completeness. For clinical or interventional studies, describe the study design (e.g., randomized controlled trial, cohort, case-control), setting, ethical approval and trial registration where applicable.

Tips:

• Define the population and the sampling method.
• Describe the instrumentation, procedures, and time frame.
• Describe the analysis plan and approaches used to ensure validity and reliability.
• Describe statistical tests and comparisons made; advanced or unusual methods may require a literature citation.
• Describe the scope and/or limitations of the methodology used. Please avoid making a subsection directly within the Method heading.

Results and Discussion

State your findings, make interpretations, explain implications, and suggest future research directions, answering the questions posed in the Introduction. Keep the discussion as short as possible while fully supporting your answers; provide commentary, not a reiteration of the results.

Tips:

• State the major findings and explain their meaning and importance.
• Support answers with results, relating them to expectations and the literature.
• Relate findings to similar studies and consider alternative explanations.
• Discuss implications and acknowledge the study's limitations.
• Make suggestions for further research.

Avoid over-interpreting results or overstating the impact of your research — the data are the data, nothing more, nothing less.

Working with Graphics

• Graphics should be simple but informative, and use of color is encouraged.
• Graphics must be entirely original, unpublished artwork created by a co-author.
• Graphics should not include identifiable patient photographs unless accompanied by written informed consent, and should not include photographs or caricatures of any person, living or deceased.
• Do not include postage stamps, currency, or trademarked items.
• Avoid a graphic that duplicates data already presented in the text. Please avoid making a subsection within Results and Discussion.

Conclusion

The conclusion is a synthesis of key points, not merely a summary or restatement of the research problem.

Tips: state conclusions clearly and concisely; explain why the study matters to the reader; situate findings within the context of previous work. One well-developed paragraph is usually sufficient. Do not: (1) rewrite the abstract; (2) use "investigated"/"studied" as conclusions; (3) introduce new arguments or evidence; (4) include evidence that belongs in the body of the paper.

Acknowledgments

A short text acknowledging the contributions of specific colleagues, institutions, or agencies (including funding sources, with grant numbers where applicable) that aided the authors' efforts.

References

All citations in the text must appear in the reference list and vice versa. In-text citations follow the surname of the first author, followed by the year. For two authors, include both surnames. For more than two authors, include only the first author's surname followed by "et al." Use a reference management tool such as Zotero, and follow APA 7th Edition format.

Supplementary Material

This journal does not support pushing important results into supplementary sections. Data not of primary importance, or which cannot be included due to size/format constraints (e.g., raw clinical data, additional imaging), can be uploaded during submission and displayed alongside the published article. Accepted formats: Data Sheet, Presentation, Supplementary Image, Supplementary Table, Audio, or Video files. Supplementary material is not typeset; ensure captions are included in the file, not the manuscript.

Figures and Table Guidelines

Figures should include scale bars, labeled items, and indicate the meaning of colors/symbols used. Tables should have clear captions, categorized data, sufficient spacing, and legible units/fonts.

Legends use the same font as the main text (12-point normal Times New Roman, single-spaced), preceded by the appropriate label (e.g., "Figure 1"). Figure legends are placed at the end of the manuscript; table legends immediately before the table.

Figures should be no longer than one page, with a width of 1 or 2 columns. Accepted formats: TIFF (.tif), JPEG (.jpg), EPS (.eps, upon acceptance).

Images must be submitted in RGB color mode, uploaded separately, at 300 dpi resolution at final size.
