The Oxford University Press International Journal of Epidemiology Template is the LaTeX class and Word shell Oxford University Press maintains for IJE, a journal on Oxford Academic. The canonical author rules — article types, word limits, reference style, supplementary data — live in the International Journal of Epidemiology | Instructions to Authors.
OUP publishes its own LaTeX article class plus a Word template. Both cover the title block, abstract, keywords, body sections, figure and table captions, and references in OUP's preferred style. The cross-OUP author hub is on the OUP Academic — Author Services / Resources.
OUP's LaTeX class and the Word template are downloadable from the OUP LaTeX template (Oxford Journals article class). Journal-level rules for IJE — word and figure limits, supplementary policy, open-access options — are on the International Journal of Epidemiology on Oxford Academic. ScholarOne Manuscripts (ScholarOne Manuscripts for IJE) handles peer review and revisions.
This keeps OUP article-class compliance and IJE editorial rules on the Scispace Agent side while you focus on the contribution.

The Oxford University Press International Journal of Epidemiology Template is a rules-first workflow. The OUP article class fixes the layout, the IJE Instructions to Authors fix the editorial rules, and ScholarOne fixes the route. Lock the abstract and reference style before scaling the body.
