Author Guidelines for Manuscript Preparation

Articles Categories

Globalmeetx considers various types of articles for publication such as:

Research Article: A research article is one kind of primary source. It describes the authors' preliminary research. A Results and Discussion section provides a description of the data analysis's findings. Charts and graphs that display the findings, a conclusion, and references are typically included. A research paper should be between 2500–9500 words long. Every article should include a "Conflict of Interest" section.

Review Articles:A review article is one that provides an overview of the current state of knowledge on a certain subject. A review article does not give new information or analysis; rather, it surveys and summarizes previously published results. A review article should preferably include between 1500–6000 words.

Review articles need to describe:

  • Recent notable developments and breakthroughs
  • Significant gaps in the research
  • Current conversations
  • Ideas for potential avenues for further research

Case Reports: Case reports are expert narratives that provide a framework for identifying early signs of effectiveness and adverse events, as well as comments on clinical practice standards. They may be disseminated for scientific, medical, or educational purposes. It describes each patient's symptoms, indicators, diagnosis, treatment plan, and follow-up. The case report will be around 1000 to 2000 words long. Case studies are not approved for publishing unless they are thoroughly addressed.

Commentaries/Perspectives: Perspective, opinion, and commentary articles are scholarly papers that provide a new perspective or personal opinion on a body of research on a certain topic. The commentary/perspective word count should be limited to 1000–1800 words.

Editorials: Experts in a certain field who are able to predict and understand future trends based on current occurrences write editorials. Editorials are usually written by prestigious laureates, senior scientists, and distinguished scholars who have significant knowledge of the subject. The length of an editorial should not be more than 900–1200 words. A Quick Discussion A critical and concise analysis, Short Communication is no more than 500–1000 words long and uses the author's description, views, and observations, backed up by facts and findings from previous studies.

Letters to the Editors: Letters to the editor serve as a platform for readers to share their thoughts, opinions, comments, and suggestions about various journal articles. These letters often elaborate on, question, assess, and contribute to the existing research. Each letter should be limited to a word count of 500–1000 words.

Disputes: All allegations concerning scientific misconduct or copyright infringement will be subject to a thorough and impartial review. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the authority to take appropriate action, which may include the rejection of manuscripts or the blacklisting of authors, should any violations be substantiated.
