Submitting to Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through the journal's submission system.
| Element | Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev requirement |
|---|---|

Null Results in Brief: structured abstract (1-2 sentences each for Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions, Impact). Perspectives and Commentaries: 200-word unstructured abstract (3-5 sentences for Commentaries). Different article types have different requirements |
| Main text | Research Articles: 4,000 words (excluding cover page, abstract, methods section, tables, and references). Resource Reports: 5,000 words. Review Articles: 6,000 words. Minireviews: 3,500 words. Perspectives: 3,500 words. Commentaries: 1,200-1,500 words. Null Results in Brief: 800 words. Letter to the Editor: 400 words.

| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Not requested. The official author guidelines do not mention keywords, and published articles do not display a keywords section |
| References | Numbered citation style. References are numbered in order of first mention in the text and cited by number only. Format follows AACR/Vancouver style with non-superscripted numbers. Research Articles allow up to 100 references. Authors need not format references according to journal style at initial submission, but final publications use AACR format |
| Peer review | Single-blind. AACR journals use a single-blind peer review model where reviewers know the authors' identities but authors do not know reviewers' identities |

Read the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
