Manuscript Editing for JBI Evidence Synthesis Journal Articles
JBI Evidence Synthesis is an official journal of JBI that publishes evidence synthesis in health care. Its pages carry systematic and scoping review protocols, many types of systematic reviews, studies within a review, and scoping reviews. Each one follows JBI-developed or JBI-endorsed methods. It prioritizes reviews whose results inform health care practice, policy, and future research, along with methodological research on evidence synthesis. Wolters Kluwer publishes it monthly, and its editor-in-chief is at JBI in the College of Health at Adelaide University.
Systematic and scoping review protocols run 2,500 words with no more than 30 references. Completed systematic and scoping reviews carry no set word limit and are kept concise. Methodology papers and studies within a review run 3,500 words. References follow a modified Vancouver style, with NLM's Citing Medicine where the journal's guidance is silent. Superscript numbers go after full stops and commas and before colons and semicolons, and entries list the first six authors, then et al. Abstracts follow the JBI article templates, with the PROSPERO or OSF registration at the bottom. Every review rests on a complete, publicly available a priori protocol and comes with a PRISMA 2020 or PRISMA-ScR checklist. The separate title page holds a title of up to 25 words, and the text uses American English and continuous line numbers. Each protocol goes to at least two peer reviewers. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.
