The manuscript text must adhere to specific research reporting standards, which can be found in the table below. Additionally, the manuscript should include a declaration section at the end, covering acknowledgments, funding, and author contributions. All clinical trials must be registered with a recognized registry that meets the World Health Organization (WHO) or International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) criteria. The Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) is one such recommended registry.

The journal follows the guidelines set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). The manuscript should include the following sections: title, abstract, main text, acknowledgments, funding, author contributions, references, figures, and tables. Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word format (version 2003 or newer) and should be double-spaced with 2.5 cm margins on all sides.

Abbreviations should be spelled out fully the first time they are used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. All measurements must conform to the International System of Units (SI). Keywords should be listed at the end of the abstract, with 3 to 5 terms that match the medical subject headings (MeSH) used in the Index Medicus.

Cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies should follow the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. A structured abstract (with sections: title, introduction, methods, results, and conclusion) is required and must not exceed 350 words. The main text should not exceed 3500 words, excluding the abstract and references.

Original research reporting randomized controlled trials should adhere to CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) guidelines. Authors are strongly encouraged to include a CONSORT flowchart. Registration of clinical trials in a recognized registry (e.g., WHO or  International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)) is encouraged, with the the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) as an option.

Review articles must critically evaluate literature and data related to clinical topics, including aspects such as etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or prevention. Authors should have expertise in the field, and all articles should include clear descriptions of the types of studies reviewed. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses must comply with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) or MOOSE (Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines, as appropriate.

Case reports should follow the CARE (Consensus-based Clinical Case Reporting) guidelines, including an abstract (unstructured, max 200 words), introduction, case description, discussion, references, and figures. The total word count should not exceed 1000 words.

These are concise original research papers. They should have an unstructured abstract (max 200 words) and a manuscript length of no more than 2000 words. The body of the text should not include subheadings, and the number of tables/figures should be limited to two, with references not exceeding 15.

Letters can be submitted to offer constructive feedback on previously published articles or to share brief research findings. They should not exceed 700 words.

Photo quizzes should include patient imaging, a brief case presentation with a diagnostic question, the diagnosis, and a discussion. The word limit is 1500 words, with a maximum of six images and up to ten references.
