Submitting to European Journal of Haematology goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the European Journal of Haematology 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 European Journal of Haematology. 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 European Journal of Haematology 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 European Journal of Haematology 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 European Journal of Haematology 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 ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
| Element | European J Haematology requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Original Articles: Structured abstract not exceeding 200 words, arranged with objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Must state the purpose of the study, basic procedures (study subject/patients/animals and methods), main findings (specific data and statistical significance), and principal conclusions. 3-10 keywords required below the abstract (use Medical Subject Headings list from Index Medicus whenever possible). Clinical trials must include the registry name and registration number at the end of the abstract. Review Articles, Letters to the Editor, and Case Reports: Do not require a specific structured format (unstructured). Note: The checklist section inconsistently states 'Abstract does not exceed 250 words', but the main guideline text clearly states 200 words |
| Main text | Original Articles: Maximum 4,000 words excluding abstract, references, tables, figures and legends. Maximum 50 references, 6 figures or tables. Review Articles: Maximum 6,000 words excluding abstract, references, tables, figures and legends. Maximum 80 references. Letters to the Editor: Maximum 500 words. Maximum 1 table or figure, 15 references. Case Reports: Maximum 1,000 words excluding abstract, references, tables, figures and legends. Maximum 2 tables or figures, 5 references |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | 3-10 keywords required. Use terms from the Medical Subject Headings list from Index Medicus whenever possible |
| References | Vancouver style (Index Medicus style). Number references consecutively in the order first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables and legends by Arabic numerals in parentheses. References should follow the style used in Index Medicus and the International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations (ISO 833). All authors must be listed. Journal title abbreviations per Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed |
| Peer review | in the official journal author guidelines. The guide mentions manuscripts are sent to 'two independent reviewers' and undergo 'usual peer-review process' but does not explicitly state whether single-blind, double-blind, triple-blind, or open peer review is used. Note: Wiley's general peer review information states that single-blind/single-anonymous peer review 'is the most common form of peer review among science journals', but this is not confirmed specifically for European Journal of Haematology in the official author guidelines |

Read the European Journal of Haematology 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 European Journal of Haematology in under a page.
Skim two or three recent European J Haematology 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 European Journal of Haematology journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the European Journal of Haematology guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
