Article Types & Word Limits

RMJ accepts English-language submissions across several article categories, each with specific word limits for the main text, as outlined below:

Original Articles (2000-4500 words): Scholarly works in medical science, clinical practice, and public health derived from rigorous research processes. These articles involve systematic investigation and thorough analysis, contributing valuable insights to the scientific community.

Review Articles (2500-4500 words): Papers that synthesize and discuss key knowledge on significant and compelling medical topics, providing a comprehensive overview of current understandings in medical science and public health.

Case Reports (1500-3000 words): Detailed accounts of patients with unique or rare diseases or medical conditions. Typically, these manuscripts focus on one patient case; however, a small series of up to 3 cases may be accepted if they share a similar condition, intervention, or outcome. These reports aim to share novel findings and clinical experiences that enhance the broader medical knowledge base.

Note: Word limits apply only to the main text (Introduction through Conclusions), excluding the title page, abstract, additional information, and references.
