Standard of Reporting

Reporting Guidelines

To ensure transparency, reproducibility, and scientific integrity, the Jazer Journal of Translational Health Science (JJTHS) strongly encourages authors to adhere to internationally recognized reporting guidelines appropriate to the design and type of their study. These guidelines provide a structured framework for clearly presenting research objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions. Adherence improves the completeness and clarity of reporting, facilitates peer review, and enhances the reliability and impact of published research.

Examples of widely accepted reporting standards include:

  • Randomized Controlled Trials: CONSORT Statement, SPIRIT Checklist
  • Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: PRISMA Statement, Cochrane Handbook
  • Observational Studies (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional): STROBE Statement
  • Diagnostic Accuracy Studies: STARD Checklist
  • Case Reports: CARE Guidelines
  • Animal Studies: ARRIVE Guidelines
  • Environmental and Occupational Health Studies: STROBE-EE Statement
  • Non-Randomized Interventional Studies: TIDieR Checklist
  • Qualitative Research: COREQ Checklist
  • Health Technology Assessment: ISPOR Good Research Practices
  • Economic Evaluations: Established international HTA guidelines (e.g., ISPOR)
  • Network Meta-Analyses: PRISMA-NMA or Cochrane guidance
  • Mixed-Methods Research: Appropriate qualitative and mixed-method reporting frameworks

Authors should indicate in their manuscript whether a relevant reporting guideline has been followed and, where applicable, submit the corresponding checklist as supplementary material.

Nomenclature Policy

The journal requires the use of standardized international nomenclature to ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency in scientific communication across all submissions.

General principles:

  • Scientific and medical terminology should follow widely accepted usage, with specialized terms clearly defined where necessary
  • Chemical compounds should be named in accordance with IUPAC conventions and relevant ISO standards
  • Biological nomenclature (species, genera, taxa) should comply with recognized international codes (e.g., ICN, ICZN)
  • Genetic sequences and variants should follow established standards such as those provided by the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS)

Consistent and accurate terminology is essential to prevent ambiguity, support comparability across studies, improve indexing and discoverability, and maintain the credibility of the scientific record. Authors and reviewers share responsibility for ensuring that nomenclature standards are appropriately applied.
