Before you send
What the editors need with the manuscript
A submission that arrives complete is assessed on the work rather than held for missing declarations.
01
The manuscript itself
An abstract appropriate to the article type; for Original Research, a structured abstract covering objectives, methods, results and conclusions; keywords reflecting the vaccine type, population and setting; standard section headings; complete references including DOIs where available.
02
Ethics and consent
Ethics-committee approval and informed consent where human participants are involved; the approving body and welfare standards where animals are; documented consent to publish for identifiable individuals.
03
Registration, data and funding
Trial registry name, number and date for interventional trials; a data-availability statement for empirical research; the funders of the work and their role.
04
Interests and authorship
Competing-interest disclosures for every author, and confirmation that each listed author contributed substantially and approves the submitted version.
05
If you want double-blind review
For double-blind review, remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, funding details, institution names, and other identifying information from the reviewer manuscript. Provide identifying information separately in the title-page file or submission form.
The Instructions for Authors page sets these out in full.
