Where do I submit a BMC Public Health - Study Protocol manuscript?

Through the journal's own submission system. The address is in the Submission row of the Structure at a Glance table on this page. SciSpace does not submit for you.

Can I submit to BMC Public Health - Study Protocol and another journal at the same time?

No. Journals, BMC Public Health - Study Protocol included, expect a manuscript to be under review at one journal at a time. Wait for the decision or withdraw formally before you submit elsewhere.

What should my data availability statement say for BMC Public Health - Study Protocol?

Say where readers can find the data behind your results: a repository with a DOI, supplementary files, or the reason the data cannot be shared. Check the BMC Public Health - Study Protocol author guide for any required wording.

How do I know my paper fits BMC Public Health - Study Protocol?

Read the BMC Public Health - Study Protocol aims and scope and skim two or three recent articles. If your question, methods, and audience match what the journal publishes, you are in the right place.

What belongs in supplementary material?

Large datasets, extended tables, extra figures, code, and detailed protocols. Reference each file in the main text, and keep the core BMC Public Health - Study Protocol manuscript readable without them.

Can I change the author list after submitting?

Usually only with the editor's approval and written agreement from every author. Settle who qualifies as an author, and the order, before you submit.

Do I need a graphical abstract?

Only if the BMC Public Health - Study Protocol author guide asks for one for your article type. If it does, use one readable figure that states the main finding.

What is the BMC Public Health - Study Protocol Template?

It is the writing shell for BMC Public Health - Study Protocol: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list.

What's actually in a BMC Public Health - Study Protocol submission:

A BMC Public Health - Study Protocol submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract of up to 350 words, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables.

What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:

An abstract that breaks the rule (an abstract of up to 350 words).
References that do not follow the stated style: Vancouver / numbered reference style.
A missing declaration: ethics approval, competing interests, funding, or data availability.
