Manuscript Preparation

1- The manuscripts submitted for publication should be prepared in Times New Roman style format, font size 12, A4 paper size, 1.5 line spacing, and 2.5 cm margins of all edges. The legend or caption of all illustrations, such as figures and tables, and their appropriate position should be indicated in the text. Refer to tables and figures in the main text by their numbers. Also, figure legends explanations should be given at the end of the text.

2- Manuscripts can only be submitted through the journal’s online manuscript submission and evaluation system, available at https://dergi.erzurum.edu.tr/ejmbs/about/submissions. During the submission process, the authors should upload the manuscript's figures to the online manuscript submission system. The Copyright Transfer Agreement Form is signed by all the authors and must upload the submission system.

3- The authors should indicate the institute's name approves the necessary ethical commission report and the serial number of the approval in the material and methods section. If necessary, the editorial board may also request the official document of the ethical commission report. If an ethical problem is detected (not reporting project information, lack of ethical committee information, conflict of interest, etc.), the editorial board may reject the manuscript at any stage of the evaluation process.

Manuscripts Types

Original (Full-Article) manuscripts are original and proper scientific papers based on sufficient scientific investigations, observations, and experiments. Manuscripts consist of the title, abstract, and keywords, introduction, material and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgment, Declaration of Interest, and references, and it should not exceed 12 pages, including text. The number of references should not exceed 50. The page limit does not include tables and illustrations. The Abstract should contain 250 words. The template of the Full article main text is here.

Short communication manuscripts contain recent information and findings in the related topics; however, they are written with insufficient length to be an original full-length article. They should be prepared in the format of the original full-length article, but the Abstract should not exceed 100 words, the reference numbers should not exceed 15, and the text length should be no longer than 6 pages in total.

Preliminary scientific reports are a short description of partially completed original research findings at an interpretable level. These should be prepared in the format of full-length original articles.

Letters to the editor are short and picture-documented presentations of subjects with scientific or practical benefits. The length of the text should be no longer than three pages in total. The page limit includes tables and illustrations.

Reviews must include criteria for consideration: a critical overview of the field, with a strong focus on current challenges and the bottlenecks to future major advances. Please make sure to emphasize the molecular mechanistic aspects where possible Otherwise, please feel free to decide the exact scope of your review and the depth of coverage, keeping in mind that the overall message should be accessible to the journal's broad readership. Also, the review must represent a fair and unbiased coverage of the most recent advances and relevant approaches and research groups working in the field and accommodate different points of view. Finally, we would encourage you to include a 'perspectives' paragraph at the end of your review that proposes the direction you personally consider the field should take and the prospects for useful applications you might expect to see in the near future and beyond. The title and summary of this manuscript should be prepared as described for the full-length original articles, and the remaining sections should be followed by abstract, introduction, text (with appropriate titles), conclusion, and references.

Title page

A separate title page should be submitted with all submissions, and this page should include (Please use Template of Title Page):

  • The full title of the manuscript as well as a short title (running head) of no more than 60 characters,
  • Name(s), affiliations, and ORCID IDs of the author(s),
  • Grant information and detailed information on the other sources of support,
  • Name, address, telephone (including the mobile phone number), and email address of the corresponding author.
  • Authors' Contributions (The contributions of all authors should be described in the title page of the manuscript using the CRediT Taxonomy of author roles).

Figures and figure caption

You should not attach figure files in the manuscript or you should upload your figure files to our e-submission system while submitting your paper.

Figures should be submitted in Tiff or JPEJ file format, and they will be automatically attached at the end of the manuscript in PDF. Number figures as Figure 1, Figure 2 … in order of citation in the figure legend. An individual should not be recognizable in the photographs unless written consent of the subject has been obtained and is provided at the time of submission. Scales should be presented as a bar in the picture or as a magnification remark in the legend.

Except for especially complicated drawings that show large amounts of data, all figures are published at one page or one column width; when the figures are reduced to the size of a single column or of the single page width, the smallest parts of the figure must be legible.

It is recommended to size original figure widths to 4 inches wide. The minimum requirements for digital resolution are:

  • 900 DPI/PPI for black and white images, such as line drawings or graphs.
  • 300 DPI/PPI for picture-only photographs.
  • 600 DPI/PPI for photographs containing pictures and line elements, i.e., text labels, thin lines, arrows.

The abbreviations for minute, hour, and day are min, hr, and d, respectively, and the abbreviations for week, month, and year are wk, mo, and yr, respectively. These abbreviations are used in tables, figures, and virgule constructions.

Summary data (e.g., means, odds ratios) should be reported using data markers for point estimates, not bars, and should include error bars indicating measures of uncertainty (e.g., SDs, 95% CIs). Actual values (not log-transformed values) of relative data (for example, odds ratios, hazard ratios) should be plotted on log scales.

The figures should be at least 300 dpi resolution in your Manuscript Word file, and place a caption below each figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. This is designed to help the reviewers evaluate your work more efficiently.

Tables and table caption

Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.

Highlights (Optional)

Highlights are optional for this journal. Specifications: include 3 to 5 bullet points (max. 85 characters per bullet point including spaces); only the core results of the paper should be covered. The first bullet point should state the background or context of the question. One to three bullet points should describe the principal results. The last bullet point should conclude with a clear description of the conceptual advance and significance of the work. Highlights should be submitted as a separate file in the Online submission system when uploading files. Highlights will be also in the article PDF file. An example of Highlights Template is here.

Abstract

The abstract must be concise (limit of 250 words) and factual. It should convey the concept and the importance of the paper to non-specialist readers. The Abstract should briefly state the background of the question and the principal results and conclude with a clear description of the conceptual advance and significance of the work. Detailed descriptions of the study or the findings should not be included in the abstract. An abstract is required for all papers. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords

Authors should supply five keywords after the Abstract. Keywords should not be words from the title.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be avoided as much as possible. When they are used, the full expression of the abbreviations in parentheses following the abbreviated word should be given at the first use.

For medicine, use generic names. If a brand name should be used, insert it in parentheses after the generic name.

Statistical analysis

Standard deviation and the standard error should be described in the format of mean±SD and mean±SE, respectively. P-values should be described as P<0.05 or P=0.003.

Units

Scientific units should be followed by the International System of Units (http://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units). Unit for volume is 'L', instead of 'l' to avoid confusion; Unit for blood pressure is mmHg; Temperature is expressed in Celsius and concentration in M, mM, and µM.

Results
Results should be clear and concise.

Tables and figures should be indicated in the main text as follows:

(Table 1), (Tables 1 and 2), (Tables 1-3), (Figure 1A and B), (Figure 1A-C), (Figures 1 and 2), (Figures 1-3), (Figures 1A and 3B), (Table 1, Figure 2).

Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Acknowledgments
Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title, or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proofreading the article, etc.).

Declaration of Interest

The statement must be provided as a separate section (titled 'Declaration of interest') at the end of the main text, before the 'References' section.

Reference style

References should be listed at the end of the manuscript. They should be listed in the order in which they appear in the text, tables, figure legends, and numbered sequentially. When cited in the text, reference numbers should be given in parenthesis. Only papers that have been published or accepted should be cited in the reference list. If there are six or fewer authors in a reference, then all the names of the authors should be listed. If the number of authors is more than six, list the initial six authors and then abbreviate the rest of the authors with 'et al'., the title of the article, journal title (abbreviated), year of the article, the volume number, and first and last pages should be cited.
