1) Before you submit

We recommend reviewing the following pages so your manuscript meets our editorial and ethical standards before you begin the submission wizard:

  • About the Journal — section policies, scope, indexing, and editorial board.
  • Author Guidelines — formatting, reporting standards (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, CARE, SQUIRE, ARRIVE, CHEERS), Vancouver references, and ethical requirements.
  • Copyright Notice — open-access licensing under CC BY 4.0 and the rights authors retain.
APC-free submission window. GMJ is currently waiving article processing charges for all accepted manuscripts received through 1 January 2027.
