LANGUAGE
The submission and publication language is English.
For authors submitting papers in languages other than English, we recommend utilizing the professional translation services provided by Lingrowth, an international language service provider specializing in medical and life science translations. A discount is available if the purpose of the translation is specified as publication in the journal.
All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.
BASIC CRITERIA FOR SUBMISSION
The editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet these minimum standards of quality:
- Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents, and datasets.
- All authors identified on the submission must consent to being listed as an author. Therefore, we appreciate the mention of contributorship in the Declarations section of the article.
- Where appropriate, research should be approved by an ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.
- The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper.
When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

TYPES OF ARTICLES TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL:
Opinion Piece
The rapid growth of digital health applications developed by authors without a medical background has prompted us to introduce a dedicated section in the journal: Opinion Piece articles. This section features interviews with the creators of original digital health projects, offering readers comprehensive insights into these innovations. It includes not only project descriptions but also critical commentaries and improvement suggestions from healthcare professionals, alongside responses and explanations from the authors.
These articles will be treated as regular publications with their own DOI. Additionally, they will be highlighted with the journal's governance token, MLHS, and securely stored in the blockchain repository.
Submissions to this section are accepted only after prior contact with the editorial team, either via the email info@mlhs.ink or through our manuscript self-creator service:
Original Articles
An original article is a type of academic paper that presents new and original findings from research conducted by the authors. It typically includes a hypothesis, background study, methods, results, interpretation of findings, and a conclusion. Original articles contribute novel insights to the field, adding to the existing body of scientific knowledge. They are fundamental for advancing scientific research and are often peer-reviewed before publication in academic journals.
Medical research involving human subjects must be conducted according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki.
Submitted manuscripts should conform to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, and all papers reporting animal and/or human studies must state in the methods section that the relevant Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board provided (or waived) approval. Please ensure that you have provided the full name and institution of the review committee, in addition to the approval number.
Review Articles
A review article is a type of academic paper that synthesizes and analyzes existing research on a particular topic. Unlike original research articles that present new findings, review articles summarize and evaluate the current state of research on a subject, often identifying trends, key findings, and potential directions for future research. They are valuable for providing a comprehensive overview of a topic, making complex subjects accessible to a broader audience, and highlighting areas where further research is needed.
Short Reports
A short report in academic or scientific contexts is a concise document that presents findings from a research study. It's shorter than a full-length original article, often focusing on a specific aspect or a limited scope of research. Short reports typically include an introduction, methodology, results, and a brief discussion. They are used to quickly disseminate important or timely findings, pilot study results, or to share research that doesn't require the full treatment of a comprehensive research article.
Letters to Editor
A "Letter to the Editor" in an academic or scientific context is a brief communication directed at the editor of a scholarly journal. It's typically used to provide feedback, commentary, or critiques on articles published in the journal. These letters can also present small-scale studies, preliminary findings, or address broader issues in the field. They are usually concise, focused, and intended for publication to foster discussion and engagement within the academic community. Letters to the Editor are subject to the journal's review process before being published.
Responses to Letters to Editor
Responses to Letters to the Editor are written by authors who are addressing feedback, critiques, or comments made about their published work in a scholarly journal. These responses provide clarification, additional information, or a defense of the work in question. They are an important part of academic discourse, allowing for a constructive exchange of views and further discussion on the research topic. Like the original letters, these responses are typically brief and are subject to the journal's editorial review process before publication.
