The International Journal of Research in General Medicine and Health (IJRGH) is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to publishing original research in the fields of General Medicine, Clinical Research, Public Health, Healthcare Sciences, Nursing, Medical Technology, and allied health disciplines.

The journal welcomes high-quality manuscripts that contribute to scientific advancement, healthcare innovation, clinical practice improvement, and medical knowledge dissemination. IJRGH follows internationally recognized scholarly publishing standards and ethical publishing practices consistent with global academic and indexing requirements.

1. Manuscript Submission

Electronic submission of manuscripts is strongly encouraged. Authors must submit their manuscript as a single Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx) containing the complete text, tables, figures, and references.

Manuscripts should be submitted via email to the Editorial Office:

Submission Email: editor@IJRGH.com

The journal accepts submissions only through electronic mail attachments. Authors will receive an acknowledgement email after successful submission.

2. Types of Manuscripts

IJRGH publishes the following categories of scholarly manuscripts:

Research Articles

Research articles present original research findings, clinical investigations, healthcare studies, experimental work, or theoretical developments. The methodology and results must be clearly described to allow verification and reproducibility.

Short Communications

Short Communications report concise findings of smaller investigations, preliminary healthcare studies, innovative medical approaches, or early-stage clinical research while maintaining scientific rigor.

Review Articles

Review papers summarize and critically analyze recent developments in medicine, healthcare sciences, clinical practices, or public health research. Reviews should provide a comprehensive overview of current research trends and future directions.

All submitted manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review by subject experts.

3. Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts must be written in clear and grammatically correct English.

The manuscript should be prepared in Microsoft Word format and organized in the following structure:

• Title
• Author(s) Name and Affiliation
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Literature Review (if applicable)
• Materials and Methods / Methodology
• Results
• Discussion
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgement (optional)
• References

4. Manuscript Formatting

To facilitate professional typesetting, authors should follow these formatting requirements:

Layout

Single column format throughout the manuscript.

Font

Times New Roman, 12-point font.

Authors

Author names should appear below the title followed by full institutional affiliation including department, institution, city, country, and email address.

Abstract

The abstract should be concise and summarize the objectives, methodology, results, and significance of the study.

The abstract should typically contain 150–250 words and should not include references, tables, figures, or bullet points.

Keywords

Provide 4–6 keywords separated by semicolons.

Example:
General Medicine; Clinical Research; Public Health; Healthcare Management; Medical Sciences

5. Figures and Illustrations

Figures must be clear, properly labeled, and included within the manuscript at appropriate positions.

Guidelines include:

• Prefer grayscale figures unless color is necessary for clarity.
• Each figure must have a descriptive caption.
• Figures should be numbered sequentially (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).
• Images should be high-resolution for publication quality.

6. Tables

Tables must be prepared using the table function of MS Word and should not be submitted as images.

• Tables must be numbered sequentially (Table 1, Table 2, etc.).
• Each table should include a clear and descriptive caption.
• Tables must be cited within the text.

7. Equations and Mathematical Expressions

Equations should be created using the MS Word Equation Editor.

• Equations must be numbered sequentially.
• Equation numbers should appear in parentheses on the right side.

Example:
Equation (1)

All mathematical symbols used in equations must be defined within the manuscript.

8. Materials and Methods

This section must clearly describe:

• Materials and equipment used
• Experimental procedures
• Clinical methods or healthcare approaches applied
• Software tools or platforms used
• Data sources, patient data, or datasets used

The information should be detailed enough to allow other researchers to replicate the study.

9. References and Citation Style

References should follow a numbered citation style similar to IEEE referencing format.

In-text citations should appear as:

[1]
[2–5]
[3, p. 105]

All references must be listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order.
