AUTHOR GUIDELINES

Thank you for considering the Journal of Case Reports and Clinical Insights in Health (JCRCIH) for the publication of your case report. As healthcare professionals, authors, and publishers ourselves, the JCRCIH team believes in the value of case reports and understands the challenges they present in terms of writing and publication. Our aim is to make this process as easy for you as possible. If you are unsure whether your case is suitable, experience any issues with the publication process, or have other questions, please do not hesitate to contact the JCRCIH team at any time (Email: JCRCIH.ina@gmail.com).

When writing your case report, please consider that the mission for JCRCIH“…is to use clinical case reports to disseminate best clinical practice, to examine important common as well as uncommon clinical scenarios, and to illustrate and inform the use of important clinical guidelines and systematic reviews.”

All clinical cases should be reported in a way that provides evidence that adequate steps have been taken to minimize harm, to avoid coercion or exploitation, to protect confidentiality, to minimize the risk of physical and psychological damage, and to respect autonomy.

Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.

Once the submission materials have been prepared in accordance with the Author Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at https://ebsina.or.id/journals/index.php/JCRCIH

For help with submissions, please see contact: https://ebsina.or.id/journals/index.php/JCRCIH/about/contact

Open Access

As a open access Journal of Case Reports and Clinical Insights in Health charges an article publication charge (APC).

Waivers and discounts for APCs will only be granted to authors who do not have sufficient funds for publication. Authors must apply for a fee waiver or discount during the submission process, and this request will be considered. The decision is final and cannot be changed. Authors must ensure they have sufficient funds to cover the APC before proceeding with their submission.

Free Format 

Journal of Case Reports and Clinical Insights in Health offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.

Before you submit, you will need:

  • Your manuscript: this should be an editable file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files—whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript.
    • Authors must include a Key Clinical Message (KCM) at the start of the case report, and the KCM must be no longer than 50 words. The aim of the KCM is to succinctly summarise the one take-home message the authors would like readers to remember after reading their report.
    • Unstructured Abstract: Please note that Journal of Case Reports and Clinical Insights in Health does not require an abstract; however, if one is provided, it should be in an unstructured format. An unstructured abstract is a block of text without any subheadings. 
    • Figures and tables should have editable legends. Figures should be uploaded in the highest resolution possible. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. Supporting information should be submitted in separate files. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers, and the editorial office will send it back to you for revision. Your manuscript may also be sent back to you for revision if the quality of English language is poor.
  • An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Why is this important? Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)
  • The title page of the manuscript, including:
    • Your co-author details, including affiliation and email address. (Why is this important? We need to keep all co-authors informed of the outcome of the peer review process.)
    • Statements relating to our ethics and integrity policies, which may include any of the following (Why are these important? We need to uphold rigorous ethical standards for the research we consider for publication):
        • data availability statement
        • funding statement
        • conflict of interest disclosure
        • ethics approval statement, if this is required by your local, regional or national ethics board
        • patient consent statement
        • permission to reproduce material from other sources
        • clinical trial registration
  • Manuscript Type. If submitting a case series, also include the number of cases or patients included in the series
