Author Guidelines
Welcome to the Author Guidelines page of Modern Care Journal. This guide is designed to assist you in navigating the entire publication process, from registration to final submission. Below, you will find the essential steps and instructions to ensure your manuscript complies with the journal's standards and is published successfully.
1. Registration and Login
To begin the submission process, you must first register and create an account on the Modern Care Journal website. After registration, you can log in to access the submission portal, track your manuscript's progress, and manage your account details. Registration is quick and straightforward, ensuring you are ready for a smooth manuscript submission. [Link to Registration and Login]
2. Article Types
Before you begin writing, it is important to familiarize yourself with the types of articles we accept. Modern Care Journal publishes various scholarly works, including original research articles, review articles, short reports, case reports, editorials, and more. Each article type has specific requirements and formats, so please review our guidelines to ensure your manuscript fits the appropriate category.
3. Manuscript Preparation
Proper manuscript preparation is crucial for a smooth submission process. We recommend carefully following our detailed guidelines on formatting, structure, and style. This includes preparing your manuscript with the correct sections (e.g., Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion), adhering to our citation and referencing style, and ensuring your manuscript is free of errors. High-quality figures, tables, and supplementary materials should also be prepared according to our specifications.
4. Submission
Once your manuscript is ready, you can proceed to the submission stage. Our submission system is user-friendly and will guide you step-by-step through the process. You will be asked to upload your manuscript, enter metadata such as title, keywords, and abstract, and select the appropriate article type. Additionally, you must declare any conflicts of interest and agree to our submission policies. [Link to Article Submission]
5. AI Authorship Policy
At Modern Care Journal, Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not meet our criteria for authorship. Authorship requires accountability for the work, which cannot be attributed to LLMs. If an LLM or other AI tool is utilized in the preparation of a manuscript, its use must be clearly documented in the Methods section or, if a Methods section is not applicable, in another appropriate section of the manuscript.
However, the use of LLMs or other AI tools for “AI-assisted copy editing” purposes does not require disclosure. AI-assisted copy editing is defined as enhancements to human-generated texts for readability, style, and the correction of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and tone. Such AI-assisted improvements may include modifications to wording and formatting but must not involve generative editorial work or autonomous content creation.
In all cases, human accountability is essential for the final version of the manuscript. Authors must agree that all edits reflect their original intent and work. This ensures the integrity and authenticity of the published content.

6. After Acceptance
Following a thorough review and acceptance of your article for publication, you will receive instructions on the next steps. This includes finalizing your article for publication, addressing any remaining editorial queries, and preparing for the production process. You will also be informed of the expected timeline for publication. Once published, your article will be available online, and you can track its impact through various metrics.
7. Proof
The proof version is an initial PDF file generated by Modern Care Journal, ready for review by editors and authors. They can add their comments to the PDF file and inform us of any further corrections. You can review the edited version after typesetting by Modern Care Journal and check for any errors in the edited file. Corrections include typographical errors, numbers, special characters, figures, tables, boxes (captions, cross-references, text within figures), references, and in-text citations. Please note that the final version must be approved by the corresponding author.
The proof version must be responded to within 1 week after the email is sent to the corresponding author, clearly stating any changes. If the author does not return the proof within the specified time, the publisher may finalize the article with the editor's approval, postpone it to a future issue, or not publish it. Substantial changes to content, such as new results, altered values, or changes in authorship, cannot be made without the approval of the responsible editor.
