Instructions For Author
Comprehensive Author Instructions for International Journal of Prostate Cancer
Prepare reviewer-ready submissions with clear evidence mapping and complete declarations.
This guidance defines operational and scientific expectations used by IJPC during screening, peer review, revision, and production. Authors should treat these instructions as an execution framework: complete and structured submissions move faster, generate stronger peer feedback, and produce more reliable publication outcomes.

What Editors and Reviewers Evaluate First
Early editorial confidence depends on scope fit, methodological transparency, declaration completeness, and evidence proportionality.
Operational Completeness
Submit all required files, declarations, and metadata fields in the first upload.
Claim Proportionality
Keep interpretation aligned with design limits and the strength of presented evidence.
Stage-by-Stage Preparation Checklist
Use these standards from draft development through proof review to reduce avoidable delays and improve decision quality.
Endpoint Clarity
Endpoint Clarity strengthens Instructions For Author quality by keeping study logic, endpoint definitions, and claim boundaries explicit for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. This reduces avoidable clarification loops during peer review and supports faster, better justified editorial decisions.
Method Reproducibility
Eligibility Definition
Eligibility Definition helps Instructions For Author maintain transparent evidence pathways for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts from screening through final decision. It also protects production timelines by preventing late stage conflicts in declarations, metadata, and figure interpretation.
Risk Stratification Logic
Statistical Model Transparency
Statistical Model Transparency supports reviewer confidence in Instructions For Author by clarifying how evidence is generated and interpreted in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. Operational consistency at this step improves communication quality and strengthens confidence in the published record.
Figure and Table Concordance
Data Availability Statement
Data Availability Statement is a high-value control point in Instructions For Author because it links analytical steps to defensible conclusions for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. Teams that apply this checkpoint consistently usually achieve smoother acceptance workflows and fewer post acceptance corrections.
Ethics and Consent Confirmation
Conflict Disclosure Accuracy
Conflict Disclosure Accuracy strengthens Instructions For Author quality by keeping study logic, endpoint definitions, and claim boundaries explicit for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. This reduces avoidable clarification loops during peer review and supports faster, better justified editorial decisions.
Funding Role Clarity
Reference Integrity Control
Reference Integrity Control helps Instructions For Author maintain transparent evidence pathways for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts from screening through final decision. It also protects production timelines by preventing late stage conflicts in declarations, metadata, and figure interpretation.
Outcome Interpretation Limits
Clinical Relevance Framing
Clinical Relevance Framing supports reviewer confidence in Instructions For Author by clarifying how evidence is generated and interpreted in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. Operational consistency at this step improves communication quality and strengthens confidence in the published record.
Revision Response Mapping
Metadata Consistency
Metadata Consistency is a high-value control point in Instructions For Author because it links analytical steps to defensible conclusions for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. Teams that apply this checkpoint consistently usually achieve smoother acceptance workflows and fewer post acceptance corrections.
Supplement File Governance
Terminology Consistency
Terminology Consistency strengthens Instructions For Author quality by keeping study logic, endpoint definitions, and claim boundaries explicit for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. This reduces avoidable clarification loops during peer review and supports faster, better justified editorial decisions.
Cohort Characterization
Protocol Deviation Reporting
Protocol Deviation Reporting helps Instructions For Author maintain transparent evidence pathways for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts from screening through final decision. It also protects production timelines by preventing late stage conflicts in declarations, metadata, and figure interpretation.
Additional Practical Guidance for Instructions For Author
The guidance below translates policy expectations into repeatable workflow actions for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. This section also helps corresponding authors coordinate co-author inputs, align supplementary files, and prevent proof-stage delays caused by inconsistent metadata or unresolved declaration language. It should be completed before final submission so reviewer effort is concentrated on scientific merit rather than file-level corrections.
Screening Efficiency
Screening Efficiency should be treated as an operational checkpoint throughout the handling cycle for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. It helps reduce preventable delays, supports clearer reviewer recommendations, and improves first round decision confidence.
Peer Review Predictability
In practical terms, Peer Review Predictability strengthens manuscript readiness and review consistency for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. It also improves metadata integrity and keeps publication files aligned with policy and reporting requirements.
Revision Quality Control
A disciplined approach to Revision Quality Control improves both scientific communication and workflow predictability in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. This creates cleaner handoffs between editorial stages and lowers the risk of late stage corrections after acceptance.
Acceptance Readiness
Acceptance Readiness is most effective when authors and editors apply it before formal decision points in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. As a result, communication becomes more precise across authors, reviewers, and editors, with fewer ambiguous requests.
Production Handoff Stability
Consistent execution of Production Handoff Stability improves reliability across screening, review, revision, and production in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. The net effect is stronger quality control without adding unnecessary process friction for valid submissions.
Indexing Preparedness
Indexing Preparedness should be treated as an operational checkpoint throughout the handling cycle for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. It helps reduce preventable delays, supports clearer reviewer recommendations, and improves first round decision confidence.
Cross-Team Communication
In practical terms, Cross-Team Communication strengthens manuscript readiness and review consistency for author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. It also improves metadata integrity and keeps publication files aligned with policy and reporting requirements.
Quality Assurance Continuity
A disciplined approach to Quality Assurance Continuity improves both scientific communication and workflow predictability in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. This creates cleaner handoffs between editorial stages and lowers the risk of late stage corrections after acceptance.
Decision Traceability
Decision Traceability is most effective when authors and editors apply it before formal decision points in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. As a result, communication becomes more precise across authors, reviewers, and editors, with fewer ambiguous requests.
Publication Governance
Consistent execution of Publication Governance improves reliability across screening, review, revision, and production in author preparation for prostate cancer manuscripts. The net effect is stronger quality control without adding unnecessary process friction for valid submissions.
High-quality manuscripts combine scientific rigor and operational readiness. Both are required for efficient editorial decisions.
Before submission, verify that every major conclusion is linked to explicit evidence in figures, tables, or supplementary files.
