# How to Use the Hindawi Template | A Step-by-Step Guide

Authored by [Sumalatha Gangadhar](https://scispace.com/resources/author/sumalatha/) | Published on 22 Apr, 2026

The Hindawi Template is the manuscript structure Hindawi journals (now part of Wiley's open access portfolio) expect for new submissions across titles such as The Scientific World Journal, BioMed Research International, Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, and the rest of the Hindawi open-access portfolio. The authoritative starting point is the [Hindawi journals (Wiley Open Research) portal](https://www.hindawi.com/), which routes authors to each journal's author guidelines on Wiley Online Library.

## What is the Hindawi Template?

The Hindawi Template is an editable Word (.doc / .docx) or LaTeX file with a free-format initial submission — the manuscript must include a clear title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, the IMRAD-style main text, references, and high-resolution figures, but Hindawi does not require authors to reformat for a specific house style on first upload. A canonical example of these rules appears on [The Scientific World Journal Author Guidelines on Wiley Online Library](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/8086/homepage/author-guidelines), which sets out the structural expectations that apply across most Hindawi journals.

### A standard hindawi template usually includes:

- Title, author list, affiliations, and corresponding-author email
- Abstract (self-contained, citation-free, typically under 250 words)
- Keywords aligned to the journal scope
- Introduction with background and motivation
- Methods with enough detail to reproduce the work
- Results and Discussion — either combined or as separate sections depending on the journal
- Conclusion summarising the contribution and next steps
- References in an accepted style (any clear style at first submission; journal style enforced at production)
- Declarations — ethics, data availability, conflicts of interest, funding, and CRediT author contributions

### A strong manuscript prepared with this template should:

- Match the journal's scope and article type before drafting; Hindawi journals span Research Articles and Review Articles
- Include line numbers for reviewer comments and double-spacing where the journal guidelines request it
- Provide figures at the highest possible resolution (embedded or as separate files) with clear legends
- Register an ORCID for the corresponding author before submission
- Include a clear Data Availability Statement — an open-access journal policy across Hindawi titles

## What does this Hindawi Template include?

The Hindawi Template is designed to work with Wiley's Research Exchange submission platform and uses Wiley's free-format submission for new manuscripts. The cross-portfolio workflow — how the submission is screened, how APC coverage with institutional funders works, and how authors interact with the portal — is summarised in the [Hindawi open access author workflow PDF](https://authors.wiley.com/asset/Hindawi-open-access-author-workflow.pdf). Production-stage requirements, including figure resolution, table formatting, and citation style at acceptance, are detailed on [Wiley Online Library journal author guidelines pages](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/) linked from each Hindawi journal homepage. Authors should also review Hindawi's editorial-community and ethics expectations on the [Hindawi Editors page](https://editors.hindawi.com/page/editor-community-policy), which explains the peer-review standards and integrity checks every submission passes through.

## Steps to Use the Hindawi Template with Scispace Agent

1. Click **Start Writing** on this template page. You are redirected to the Scispace Agent prompt page with this Hindawi Template and a starter prompt already loaded.
2. On the prompt page, choose whether to **use the existing template** shown in the side panel or **upload a new template** if you already have a Hindawi journal-specific copy (for example, BioMed Research International or Journal of Healthcare Engineering).
3. **Modify the prompt** with your custom message: the topic, target audience, document type, scope, and any specific constraints (word limit, reporting checklist, figure and table count, citation style).
4. Run the prompt. Scispace Agent generates the draft directly in the Hindawi Template structure — title block, abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, figure legends, tables, and references — without hand-editing layout code.
5. Use **View Outputs** to review the draft. Regenerate specific sections if the first pass needs tightening on depth, evidence, or wording.
6. When the draft is ready, **save it to your library** inside Scispace Agent or **download it in Word or LaTeX format** so it drops straight into the Research Exchange submission workflow for your Hindawi journal.

This keeps Hindawi formatting compliance on the Scispace Agent side while you focus on the scientific contribution.

## Hindawi Template Structure at a Glance

| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Title + Authors + Affiliations | Corresponding-author email; institutional ORCID where available |
| Abstract | Self-contained, citation-free, ≤250 words |
| Keywords | 4–6 terms aligned to the journal scope |
| Introduction | Background, motivation, and objectives |
| Methods | Reproducible description of materials, design, and analysis |
| Results + Discussion | Combined or separate; figures and tables cited in order |
| Conclusion | Summary of contribution and next steps |
| References + Declarations | Accepted reference style; ethics, data, conflicts, funding, CRediT |

## Quick Tips for Using the Hindawi Template

- Use Wiley's free-format submission at first upload — no need to reformat to a specific house style before review
- Add line numbers to the manuscript so reviewers can point to specific lines
- Keep the abstract self-contained and citation-free, typically at or under 250 words
- Submit LaTeX files by uploading the .tex "Main Document – LaTeX .text File", a PDF "Main Document - LaTeX PDF", and supporting files as "LaTeX Supplementary File"
- Provide figures at the highest resolution possible; if a figure is hard to read, the editorial office will return the file for revision

## Best Practices

- Follow the EQUATOR reporting checklist that matches the study design — CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, ARRIVE — and attach it where required
- Submit with an institutional email address so APC coverage with a funder or institution is confirmed automatically
- Include a clear Data Availability Statement — Hindawi journals publish fully open access and expect shared data where possible
- Limit authors to a reasonable number and follow the journal's authorship guidance (for example, The Scientific World Journal caps some author roles)
- Confirm ethics and consent statements in Methods, particularly for clinical, animal, or human-participant research

## Hindawi Template Tips

The Hindawi Template is a free-format, Research Exchange-routed workflow. Focus on a clean, readable editable file with a strong abstract, reproducible Methods, high-resolution figures, and the right reporting checklist, then upload through Research Exchange using the Hindawi journal-specific page on Wiley Online Library.
