How to Use the JACC: Asia Template | A Step-by-Step Guide
Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 17 August, 2026
Submitting to JACC: Asia goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the JACC: Asia 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 JACC: Asia Template?
It is a manuscript shell aligned to JACC: Asia. 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 JACC: Asia journal page before you draft.
What's actually in a JACC Asia 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 JACC: Asia 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 JACC: Asia guide for authors before you submit.
What does this JACC: Asia 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 the journal's submission system.

| Keywords | Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 key words, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). These key words will be used for indexing purposes, and therefore should be different than the terms/words already used in the title of the paper |
| References | Numbered, consecutive in order of citation in text (superscript numerals). Use Index Medicus (National Library of Medicine) abbreviations for journal titles. List all authors if 6 or fewer; otherwise, list the first 3 and add 'et al.' Format follows Vancouver style with modifications |
| Peer review | Single-blind peer-review system, meaning that the authors are blinded to the identity of the reviewers and as a general rule, although there are exceptions, the reviewers are blinded to each other |

Quick Tips for Using the JACC: Asia Template
Read the JACC: Asia 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 JACC: Asia in under a page.
Best Practices
Skim two or three recent JACC Asia 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 JACC: Asia 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 JACC: Asia guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
