Getting past the desk at Journal of Tissue Engineering is usually less about the research and more about matching the journal’s exact submission rules. This template is built around JTE’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, a numbered SAGE Vancouver style references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JTE author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JTE’s specifications for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and biomaterials. Journal of Tissue Engineering is published by SAGE. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in a numbered SAGE Vancouver style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise abstract per the author guidelines. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses a numbered SAGE Vancouver style. Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest, funding, ethics approval and consent, and data availability.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep a numbered SAGE Vancouver style formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through the journal's online submission system — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JTE’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, a numbered SAGE Vancouver style reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JTE journal home page. Journal of Tissue Engineering is fully open access; an article-processing charge applies — check the current APC and any waiver. Manuscripts go in through the journal's online submission system, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JTE requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise abstract per the author guidelines |
| Main text | Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest, funding, ethics approval and consent, and data availability |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | the journal's online submission system |
Read the JTE author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set a numbered SAGE Vancouver style as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.
Skim two or three recent JTE papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JTE author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, a numbered SAGE Vancouver style references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's online submission system.
