Manuscript must be written in ‘British English’. Non-native English speakers must seek the assistance of experienced, English-speaking medical editors if in doubt. Taking feedback from your colleagues also makes the manuscript writing more productive, versatile and simple for the readers.
Sentences should be properly structured instead of giving brackets within a sentence. For example, the study participants (women of age group 25-30 years) were approached for the interviews. The correct way is ‘The study participants included women of age group 25-30 years. They were approached for interviews.’
Present decimal figures up to 2 decimals only. e.g. 0.07 is correct instead of 0.071.
Use the full form of an abbreviation initially in the text before using the abbreviated form.
Avoid capitalisation except for proper nouns and where it is grammatically required.
Do not start a sentence with a number.
