How to Use the Endocrinology Template | A Step-by-Step Guide
Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 10 August, 2026
Submitting to Endocrinology goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Endocrinology 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.
What is the Endocrinology Template?
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Endocrinology. 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 Endocrinology journal page before you draft.
What's actually in an Endocrinology submission:
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 Endocrinology guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:
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 Endocrinology guide for authors before you submit.
What does this Endocrinology Template include?
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 Editorial Manager.

Endocrinology Template Structure at a Glance
| Element | Endocrinology requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | 250 words maximum. For initial format-neutral submissions, abstract is required but specific formatting not scrutinized until revision stage. The guidelines do not specify whether structured or unstructured format is required, nor do they mandate specific headings |
| Main text | Research Articles: No upper or lower word/figure/table limits. Brief Reports: not to exceed 2,400 words. Technical Resource: typical length 2,400 words. Mini-reviews: 2,000 to 5,000 words maximum. Commentaries: typically up to 1,000 words. Reports and Recommendations: typically no more than 3,600 words. Letters to the Editor: no more than 500 words |

| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Not specified in the official author guidelines |
| References | Format-neutral submission allowed at initial stage; reference layout and order of components not scrutinized for compliance initially. Technical formatting such as reference layout is assessed only after initial scientific merit review. The specific citation style (e.g., Vancouver, APA, AMA) is not explicitly stated in the author guidelines |
| Peer review | Single-anonymized (single-blind) peer review. An Associate Editor determines if a manuscript should be sent for peer review, and if so, selects two reviewers who are asked to disclose any potential conflicts of interest |

Quick Tips for Using the Endocrinology Template
Read the Endocrinology 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 Endocrinology in under a page.
Best Practices
Skim two or three recent Endocrinology 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 Endocrinology journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Before You Submit: Final Check
Do one focused pass against the Endocrinology guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
