Submitting to Exercise Immunology Review goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Exercise Immunology Review 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 Exercise Immunology Review. 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 Exercise Immunology Review 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 Exercise Immunology Review 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 Exercise Immunology Review 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 | Exercise Immunol Rev requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | A review must have an abstract. No specific word limit stated. No structured format or mandatory headings required - abstract should be able to stand on its own. The guide does not specify different requirements by article type |
| Main text | No specific word or page limit stated. The guide states: 'The review can be long, if necessary, or short, if the field covered by the heading is relatively new or very focused.' Reviews must have an abstract, an introduction and a conclusion around the main sections. Reviews with three or more sections should list the headings of the sections in form of a bullet point table at the end of the introduction |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Up to five key words should be added after the abstract |
| References | Vancouver style (as applied by Journal of Applied Physiology), with references listed in alphabetical order. In text use reference numbers in brackets. When giving more than 1 reference in one bracket, use numerical order. The maximum number of references is normally 150 |
| Peer review | Non-anonymous (single-blind) review process. The journal states: 'In accordance with our journal's peer review policy, we conduct a non-anonymous review process. Submissions undergo evaluation by a minimum of two expert reviewers who are carefully selected based on their subject matter expertise.' |

Read the Exercise Immunology Review 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 Exercise Immunology Review in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Exercise Immunol Rev 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 Exercise Immunology Review journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Exercise Immunology Review guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
