Journal of Urology Template

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 19 August, 2026

Getting past the desk at The Journal of Urology is usually less about the research and more about matching the journal’s exact submission rules. This template is built around J Urol’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, numbered AMA style references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the J Urol author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.

What is the Journal of Urology Template?

It’s a manuscript shell set up to J Urol’s specifications for clinical and basic urology. The Journal of Urology is published by Wolters Kluwer (Lippincott) on behalf of the American Urological Association. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in numbered AMA style.

What’s actually in a standard J Urol submission:

Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a structured abstract per the author guidelines. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses numbered AMA style. Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest, funding, ethics approval and consent, and data availability.

What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:

Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep numbered AMA style formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through Editorial Manager — email submissions aren’t processed.

What does this The Journal of Urology Template include?

The shell mirrors what J Urol’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, numbered AMA style reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the J Urol journal home page. J Urol offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through Editorial Manager, which also tracks your paper through peer review.

Steps to Use This Template with Scispace Agent

1. Click Start Writing on this page — you land on the Scispace Agent prompt screen with the template already loaded.
2. Use the loaded template as-is, or upload your own version if you have one.
3. Edit the prompt with your actual details: topic, article type, and any word or figure limits specific to that type.
4. Run it. The agent drafts directly into the correct structure — abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) body, figure placeholders, numbered AMA style references, and the full declarations block — with no manual reformatting afterward.
5. Review the draft in View Outputs and regenerate any section that needs tightening.
6. Export to Word or LaTeX once it’s ready for submission.

Quick Tips for Using the J Urol Template

Read the J Urol author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set numbered AMA style as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.

Best Practices

Skim two or three recent J Urol 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.

Before You Submit: Final Check

Do one focused pass against the J Urol author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, numbered AMA style references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
