Ready-to-use templates and checklists for manuscript preparation, response letters, ethics, figures, tables, and submission readiness.
Learning topics in this section
Each topic is written for practical use, with emphasis on transparency, responsible authorship, accurate attribution, publication ethics, and open access publishing standards.
Guidance is prepared to support ethical publishing practice: clear journal information, transparent fees where applicable, responsible peer review, proper citation, licensing awareness, data integrity, and accountable AI use.
Templates and downloads help authors prepare submission files consistently. They should be used as structure support, while final content must follow the selected journal instructions.
What to focus on
- Use manuscript templates to organize title page, abstract, keywords, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references, figures, tables, and declarations.
- Use cover letter templates to communicate journal fit, originality, author approval, ethical compliance, and corresponding author details concisely.
- Use reviewer response templates to answer comments point by point, identify manuscript changes, and explain disagreements respectfully with evidence.
