Submission Preparation Checklist
All submissions must meet the following requirements.
- This submission meets the requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
- This submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
- All references have been checked for accuracy and completeness.
- All tables and figures have been numbered and labeled.

Articles
Full-length original research papers presenting comprehensive studies with significant findings. Articles are the primary vehicle for publishing novel research at RevisX.
Format:
- Up to 5,000 words (excluding abstract, Methods, references, and figure legends)
- Abstract: up to 300 words, unstructured
- Up to 8 figures and/or tables
- Up to 60 references
- Supplementary: Permitted; linked online
- Peer reviewed: Yes — double-blind
When to choose this type
Choose this type for complete, multi-experiment studies that present substantial new findings requiring full exposition of methods, results, and discussion. Articles are the primary vehicle for publishing novel research at RevisX and are suitable when your findings cannot be adequately presented in a shorter format.
Article structure
- Introduction (no heading) — establish context, knowledge gap, and study aims
- Results — organised by topical subheadings; present data without interpretation
- Discussion (no subheadings) — interpret findings, discuss limitations, and future directions
- Online Methods — organised by topical subheadings; full reproducible methodological detail
- References
- Figure legends (not counted toward word limit)
- Supplementary information (optional, linked online)
Peer review
Full double-blind peer review by a minimum of two independent expert reviewers. Authors receive structured review reports and have the opportunity to revise and respond.
Submission process
Submit via the RevisX online submission portal. Prepare a cover letter outlining the significance of your findings and confirming the work has not been published or submitted elsewhere. All co-authors must approve the final submission.
Note: Data availability and ethics statements are mandatory. All primary data must be deposited in an appropriate public repository prior to acceptance.
Case Report
Case Reports describe unique, rare, or educationally valuable clinical or experimental cases that contribute meaningful insights to scientific or medical understanding. They may highlight unusual presentations, novel diagnostic approaches, innovative treatments, or unexpected outcomes that advance knowledge in the field.
Submissions should present a clear and well-documented narrative including background, case description, diagnostic assessments, management or intervention, and discussion of clinical relevance. The report must emphasize the learning value, originality, and implications for future research or practice.
Manuscripts are typically concise, generally 1,500–2,500 words, and may include up to two figures or tables. Authors must obtain informed consent from the patient (or legal guardian) prior to publication and ensure that identifying information is fully anonymized. Ethical approval is required when applicable.
All Case Reports are subject to editorial evaluation and may undergo peer review. Acceptance is based on the case’s novelty, clarity, and educational significance. The journal adheres to COPE and ICMJE guidelines to ensure ethical publication practices.
Case Series
Reports describing a group of patients with similar diagnoses, treatments, or outcomes, providing observational evidence and identifying clinical patterns.
Format:
- Up to 3,000 words (excluding abstract and references)
- Abstract: up to 250 words, structured
- Up to 6 figures and/or tables
- Up to 30 references
- Supplementary: Permitted
- Peer reviewed: Yes
When to choose this type
Case Series are appropriate when multiple patients share a notable clinical pattern that warrants systematic description — a cluster of rare presentations, a cohort treated with a novel intervention, or a group illustrating the spectrum of a condition. They provide stronger observational evidence than individual case reports and can generate hypotheses for future controlled studies.
Article structure
- Abstract — structured summary (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions)
- Introduction — clinical context and rationale for the series
- Methods — patient selection criteria, data collection, and ethical approvals
- Results — demographic and clinical data presented systematically, often in tabular form
- Discussion — patterns identified, comparison with literature, limitations, and clinical implications
- Conclusions — summary of findings and implications for practice or research
- References
Peer review
Peer reviewed. Reviewers evaluate the rigor of case selection, consistency of data presentation, and the validity of conclusions drawn from the observational evidence.
Submission process
Submit via the RevisX online submission portal. Include details of ethics approval and patient consent procedures in your cover letter. Clearly state the inclusion criteria and time period for the series.
Note: Ethics approval or institutional review board approval is required. Patient consent for publication must be obtained for all individuals in the series. Aggregate or de-identified data presentation is expected unless explicit consent for identifiable information has been provided.
Review
Comprehensive, authoritative overviews of specific topics written by leading experts. Reviews synthesize current understanding and provide new conceptual frameworks.
Format:
- • Up to 4,000 words (excluding abstract and references)
- • Up to 6 figures and/or tables
- • Up to 150 references
- • Peer reviewed: Yes
When to choose this type
Reviews are appropriate when a topic has accumulated sufficient primary literature to warrant synthesis and critical evaluation. They should not merely summarise existing work but provide a new conceptual framework, resolve apparent contradictions, or clearly define open questions. Reviews are often solicited by editors but unsolicited proposals are considered.
Article structure
- Abstract — concise summary of the scope and key conclusions
- Introduction — establish the importance of the topic and the review's scope
- Thematic sections with subheadings — logically organised coverage of the field
- Conclusions and outlook — synthesise key messages and identify future research directions
- References
- Boxes (optional) — for definitions, case studies, or key concepts
Peer review
Peer reviewed by subject-matter experts. Reviews are assessed for balance, accuracy, and whether they advance understanding beyond existing literature.
Submission process
Authors are encouraged to contact the editors with a proposal (title, outline, author list) before preparing a full manuscript. Full submissions are accepted but proposals help avoid duplication with in-preparation commissioned reviews.
Note: Authors should declare any conflicts of interest, particularly if they have primary research publications in the area being reviewed.
