Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines

Preparing the manuscript

Authors must submit original work that is not published or simultaneously under review elsewhere. The manuscript should use the approved journal template, be written clearly, and present a contribution relevant to Jember Maternal and Child Health Journal.

• Provide a descriptive title, informative abstract, and appropriate keywords.
• Report methods in sufficient detail to allow critical evaluation and, where feasible, replication.
• Cite sources accurately; identify permissions for reused images, instruments, or text.
• Use applicable study-reporting guidelines and identify ethics approvals or exemptions when relevant.

Submission files and declarations

Authors should supply a manuscript suitable for anonymous review when required, an identification or title page with affiliations and author contributions, and any forms required by the editorial office. All coauthors must approve the submitted version and agree on the author order.

• Disclose research funding and relevant competing interests.
• Provide the data availability statement and describe restrictions when sharing is limited.
• Disclose substantive use of AI-assisted tools and verify all outputs.

Revisions

A revised submission should include a point-by-point response to editorial and peer-review comments, indicating where changes were made. Review recommendations do not guarantee acceptance; the Editor makes the final decision.
