Article Types
Before you start writing, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the types of articles we accept. The publisher publishes a variety of scholarly works, including original research articles, review articles, brief reports, case reports, editorials, and more. Each article type has specific requirements and formats, so please review our guidelines to ensure your manuscript aligns with the appropriate category. [Article Types]. See also the word count policy file. [word count policy].
Article Sections
- Article title: Represents the research’s subject and purpose (up to 20 words).
- Abstract: 150–250 words including the research problem, objectives, methods, results, and conclusion.
- Keywords: Up to 5 keywords, listed at the bottom of the abstract.
- Background and Objectives: The Background section should concisely explain the study's purpose and rationale, avoiding extensive discussion, data presentation, or conclusions. The Objectives must be clearly articulated to define the study’s aims and intended outcomes.
- Materials/Patients and Methods: This section should provide a detailed description of the procedures, observations, or experiments conducted. When specific equipment is used, full manufacturer details (including name and country) must be included. Standard methods should be properly cited, while novel methods must be described in sufficient detail to allow for reproducibility. Furthermore, all statistical methods, software programs, and information systems employed in the analysis must be specified.
- Results: Results should be presented clearly using narrative text, tables, and figures. References to table and figure numbers should be made in the text without duplicating their content. For lengthy manuscripts, the use of subheadings within the Results section is encouraged to improve clarity and organization.
- Discussion: The Discussion should interpret the study’s findings in the context of existing literature, highlighting similarities or discrepancies with other relevant research. Detailed repetition of results should be avoided. Emphasis should be placed on the novel and significant aspects of the study. The section should conclude by addressing whether the initial hypothesis was confirmed, refuted, or remains inconclusive.
- Conclusion: Summary of principal findings and implications.
- Footnotes

Manuscript Preparation
Initial Submission
For the initial submission, the authors have to just send the main manuscript file and the signed Form of the journal (Journal Forms). While preparing manuscripts for initial submission, authors are kindly requested to follow the guidelines described below:
Formatting requirements:
- File format: Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx)
- Font: Times New Roman, 10 pt
- Layout: Either double-column (single spacing) OR single-column (double spacing)
- Margins: At least 1.5 cm on each side
- Components: Title, Author Names, Affiliations, Corresponding Author Email, Abstract, Keywords, Main Text, References
- English must be clear, concise, and checked for grammar/spelling.
- No abbreviations or formulae in the title.
- Abbreviations must be defined at first use in both abstract and main text.
- References should be numbered in the order cited.
Main text should typically include:
- Introduction
- Model Description (if applicable)
- Results
- Discussion
- Conclusion
- Footnotes
- References
Figures and Tables
-
Position: Figures, tables, and other variants of representations should be placed within the text (in-line with text) at the appropriate point.
-
Resolution: Figures will be reproduced exactly as supplied, with no redrawing or relabeling. It is therefore imperative that the supplied figures are of the highest possible quality. The clarity of the presentations is mandatory for accepted manuscripts. The resolution of the figures should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).
-
Numbering: Figures and tables should be numbered separately and consecutively. Each figure and each table should be explicitly referred to in the text in numerical order. A short descriptive caption below each figure and above each table is essential.
References
- All references cited in the text must be listed in the References section.
- Authors are strongly encouraged to use EndNote with the Vancouver referencing style.
Author Use of AI in Manuscript Preparation
At JJHS, we uphold the integrity of scientific publishing through the careful and transparent use of evolving technologies, including Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). In line with COPE recommendations and international best practices, this policy outlines the use of such tools by authors, reviewers, and editors.
- Generative AI tools may be used only for grammar correction, language refinement, or improving clarity.
- They must not be used to generate new research content, analyze data, draw conclusions, or create references.
- Authors are fully responsible for reviewing AI-assisted outputs and ensuring accuracy.
- Any use of AI must be disclosed in the Acknowledgments section, including the tool name and purpose.
Disclosure Example:
“The authors used [Tool Name] to enhance language and readability. All scientific content was produced, reviewed, and approved by the authors.”
