Authors are encouraged to adhere to the following guidelines when reporting their research:
To submit your manuscript to Guinness Press, utilize our dedicated online submission system available at https://guinnesspress.org/submit-your-article. The corresponding author is tasked with the submission and will work closely with the Editorial Office throughout the process. Prior to submission, the corresponding author must confirm that all authors listed adhere to the authorship criteria outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and COPE.
During manuscript submission, the corresponding author is required to include a cover letter, outlining the manuscript's significance. This letter should affirm, on behalf of all authors, that the submission is original and not under consideration or published elsewhere. Additionally, it should confirm agreement among all authors regarding authorship and state the absence of disputes. Please disclose any potential conflicts of interest or concerns regarding journal policies in the cover letter as well.
Authors should aim for a concise title for their manuscript, ideally spanning 10-15 words and directly reflecting the research topic. It's advisable to refrain from using abbreviations or shortened forms. Kindly adhere to these guidelines when crafting your submission's title.
The title page of the manuscript should list the full names of all authors, accompanied by their current affiliations, digital identifiers, and email addresses. Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of this information is essential for efficient communication and appropriate attribution.
Please organize your article into distinct, numbered sections. Subsections should be labeled as 1.1 (and then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and so on), 1.2, and so forth. Note that section numbering excludes the abstract. Utilize this numbering system for internal cross-references, avoiding vague references to 'the text'. If necessary, provide concise headings for each subsection, ensuring each heading begins on a separate line.
While optional, we strongly encourage authors to include this section, as it could enhance the visibility of your articles. We invite you to summarize the key points of your article in 3 to 5 bullet points, enhancing its discoverability on search engines. These highlights should be submitted as a separate, editable file using 'Highlights' in the filename or provided as a distinct section within the manuscript. Utilizing 3 to 5 bullet points, each within 85 characters (including spaces), can significantly enhance your article's online visibility.
The abstract of a research article should be concise, adhering to a strict 350-word limit. It should include a brief introduction, presentation of results, and a succinct discussion. Avoid citing references within the abstract and refrain from using abbreviations.
Incorporate a minimum of 6-8 keywords in the manuscript that are directly relevant to the topic. Choose specific keywords and steer clear of generic terms such as disease, climate, environment, etc.
The introduction serves as the initial section of the manuscript, providing an explanation of the significance and background of the topic under discussion.
This section should furnish details pertaining to the "Materials and Methods" employed in the research, including the original data source, materials utilized, study aim, design, and setting. Provide a comprehensive description of processes, interventions, and comparisons within the materials and methods section of the manuscript.
This section should encompass the main and significant findings of the study. Results of statistical analysis can be presented within the text or referenced in tables or figures.
Authors are encouraged to interpret the results in the context of previous studies and working hypotheses. Discuss the findings and their implications broadly, highlighting the limitations of the work. Future research directions may also be suggested. This section, "Discussion," may be merged with the Results section.
Provide a concise summary of the entire article under the section "Conclusion."
If the manuscript contains abbreviations, their full forms should be provided initially. Authors are advised to include a comprehensive list of these abbreviations along with their full names under the section "List of Abbreviations," which should be placed at the end of the article.
Every research article should encompass the following sections:
Guinness Press Journals adhere to either APA reference style. Here are key points to consider when citing articles:
For submitting manuscripts, the preferred file format is Microsoft Word, either in DOC or DOCX format. Editable files are essential for the review and production process. If you initially submit a non-editable file, you will need to resubmit your manuscript in a Word file.
Consider the following points:
In accordance with the regulations detailed in the Image Manipulation section of our Ethical Guidelines, authors must obtain permission prior to incorporating copyrighted figures or any segment of a figure or table, ensuring strict adherence to the requirements of relevant licenses.
Figures should be positioned near the corresponding text rather than at the beginning or end of the document, and citations of figures within the text should follow a sequential order. Figures with multiple parts should be consolidated into a single file containing all components (a, b, c, etc.), with each figure not exceeding 10 MB in size. When utilizing graphs, labels including units should be provided for each axis.
If the manuscript is submitted in LaTex format, figures should be submitted in PDF. Following acceptance of the paper, separate figures may be necessary for production purposes.
Authors are reminded to obtain approval from the original copyright holder if figures are reproduced from any published content.
Image Size and Resolution:
As the final manuscript version will be in PDF format, figures must be prepared to align with this format.
Dimension Requirements:
Resolution: Ensure figures have high resolution (typically 300 dots per inch or DPI) to maintain quality when printed or viewed on-screen. Verify resolution by enlarging the figure to 150%. Blurriness indicates insufficient resolution.
Font Size: Ensure text, labels, or legends in figures are legible at expected dimensions. A font size of 8-10 points is usually suitable.
Acceptable File Types for Figures:
For Vector drawings, provide EPS or PDF. Chemical structures should be prepared in CDX (ChemDraw).
Please Avoid:
Figure Captions: Captions should consist of a concise text title separate from the figure. Provide minimal descriptions with explanations for abbreviations and symbols used.
Guinness Press publishes supplementary material alongside articles to enrich content and provide readers with valuable resources. For manuscripts with innovative or extensive methodology sections, we encourage the inclusion of supplementary online materials, such as equations, data treatment methods, syntax code, example data, code books, case descriptions, research context, and detailed narratives. Additionally, images, sound clips, and method applications can further enhance your work.
If any changes are necessary for the provided supplementary file, please submit a completely new file rather than providing a correction list or annotating corrections on the previous version. It's important to note that supplementary files are published as provided, and no formatting is applied from the Publisher's side.
Online Publication Format
Please be advised that supplementary material will not be incorporated into the manuscript but will be linked on our website in the format provided by the author.
File Format and Size
It's essential to ensure that each additional file represents a single table, figure, or movie. Please avoid uploading linked worksheets or PDF files larger than one sheet. All supporting or supplementary materials should be consolidated into a single zipped file, not exceeding 4 MB in size. For data sheets, we recommend using Word, Excel, CSV, CDX, FASTA, PDF, or Zip formats. Presentations are best provided in PowerPoint, PDF, or Zip files. Images can be submitted in CDX, JPEG, EPS, TIFF, or PNG formats.
For supplementary audio files, kindly provide them in MP3 format, and for videos, use MOV, MPG, AVI, or MPEG formats. Supplementary images must be in 300 DPI, and RGB color mode should be utilized.
Prior to manuscript submission, authors are encouraged to have their work reviewed by a native English speaker or to utilize professional language editing services. This helps minimize the risk of rejection due to language inconsistencies. Manuscripts containing grammatical or typographical errors will be deemed ineligible for publication and will be returned to the author with a recommendation for correction before further consideration in the publication process. Authors are encouraged to seek professional editing services to address any language inconsistencies and errors in their manuscripts.
