4. Reporting Standards
Authors must adhere to appropriate reporting guidelines:

  • CONSORT for randomised controlled trials

  • STROBE for observational studies

  • PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses

  • TRIPOD for predictive model development

  • ARRIVE for animal studies

5. Conflicts of Interest & Funding
All authors must disclose potential conflicts and funding sources in the manuscript.

6. Ethics & Consent
Manuscripts involving human or animal subjects must include an ethics approval statement and confirmation of informed consent where applicable.

7. Article Processing Charges (APCs)

Referencing Style — Vancouver

JPMedAI uses the Vancouver referencing style in line with the ICMJE Recommendations.

  • References must be numbered consecutively in the order they appear in the text.

  • Numbers should be placed in superscript after punctuation (e.g., “…precision medicine revolution.^3”)

  • All authors should be listed if there are six or fewer; for more than six authors, list the first six followed by “et al.”

  • Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the NLM Catalog.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Journal Workflows (For Authors)

At the Journal of Precision Medicine and Artificial Intelligence (JPMedAI), we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in limited ways to help manage the publishing process. These tools are used only for technical support tasks (such as formatting references, checking language, or generating XML files for indexing) and are always reviewed by human editors before publication.

Important Points for Authors

  • Editorial and peer review decisions are always made by human experts. AI is never used to accept, reject, or review manuscripts.

  • Your manuscript will not be published without human oversight. All AI-assisted edits are checked by our editorial team.

  • Your personal data are protected. We comply with GDPR and do not share sensitive author or reviewer information with external AI services.

  • If you use AI tools when preparing your manuscript, please disclose this in your cover letter and include a note in the acknowledgements section (e.g., “The authors used [tool name] for language polishing”).

This ensures transparency, aligns with international publishing standards (COPE, ICMJE, DOAJ), and helps us maintain trust with our authors, readers, and indexing services.
