Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals
The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) concerns itself with ethical principles related to publication in biomedical journals. Journals may use the Uniform Requirements format of the ICMJE. This format is also called the Vancouver Style. The Uniform Requirements state the ethical principles in the conduct and reporting of research and provide recommendations relating to specific elements of editing and writing.
