DJMP accepts scholarly work in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences.

DJMP currently accepts:

No. Manuscripts submitted to DJMP must be original scholarly work that has not previously been published and must not be under consideration by another journal or publicly accessible database.

No. DJMP does not accept manuscripts that are simultaneously under consideration by another journal or publicly accessible database.

Manuscripts may be submitted in Vietnamese or English.

The manuscript should not exceed 4,000 words, excluding tables, figures, and references.

Yes. Author names and institutional affiliations must be separated from the main manuscript and provided in a separate file. The manuscript used for peer review must be anonymized.

Two files are mandatory:

Tables, figures, diagrams, charts, captions, and supplementary materials may also be submitted where applicable.

The Vietnamese and English abstracts should each be no longer than 300 words.

For Original Articles, the abstract should include: Objective – Methods – Results – Conclusion.

The current Author Guidelines do not specify a mandatory number of keywords or require the use of MeSH/DeCS terms.

Therefore, the official FAQ should not impose a fixed number until DJMP formally adopts such a requirement.

Under the current DJMP requirements, the combined total number of tables, figures, diagrams, and charts must not exceed 5.

Images should be clear and have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. DJMP recommends high-quality formats such as TIFF, JPEG, or PNG.

DJMP uses the Vancouver style. References are numbered in the order in which they first appear in the manuscript, with citation numbers presented as superscripts after punctuation. The Journal encourages the use of recent references, particularly publications from the past five years from reputable scientific databases.

Yes, where the study requires ethical review. Research involving human participants must comply with the Declaration of Helsinki and applicable regulations. Ethics committee approval information should be provided where required.

Yes. Authors must disclose the source of research funding.

Yes.

DJMP is moving toward including an Author Contributions statement among the end-of-article declarations. This section should clearly describe each author's contribution to the research and manuscript preparation.

DJMP is moving toward including a Data Availability Statement.

This is a new supplementary requirement and was not included in the original Author Guidelines.

Sign in to the OJS system and select:

The submission workflow includes: Details → Upload Files → Contributors → For the Editors → Review.

Yes. The submitting author should use the “Add Contributor” function to enter all co-authors and arrange them in the correct order. The author list and order in OJS must match the information provided in DJMP-AF01.

Under the current OJS instructions, authors may suggest suitable reviewers, but this is not mandatory. Final reviewer selection is the responsibility of the Editorial Board in order to minimize conflicts of interest.

Normally, no. Once the submission has been completed, authors cannot directly edit the manuscript unless the system allows it or an editor provides assistance. Authors should therefore carefully check the metadata and uploaded files before clicking Submit.

Authors can track their manuscripts on the OJS submission dashboard. A manuscript will normally begin in the Submission stage and move to the Review stage once it enters peer review.

DJMP requires 3 mandatory files:

Supplementary files may also be submitted where applicable.

Yes. DJMP requires authors to use the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word to show revisions made to the manuscript.

Authors may decide not to follow a reviewer recommendation if there is a sound scientific reason, but they must clearly explain the reason in the Response to Reviewers.

At the Review stage, go to the Revisions Required section and select:

After uploading the revised files, authors are encouraged to use Review Discussions to notify the Editorial Team.

Yes. DJMP uses double-anonymous peer review, so identifying information must not appear in the revised manuscript or Response to Reviewers. Authors should pay particular attention to the name displayed in Microsoft Word Track Changes.

The manuscript will proceed to Copyediting → Production. Authors may be asked to review copyedited files or proofs and respond to the Editorial Team before publication.

The proof stage is primarily intended for correcting formatting, technical errors, and minor inaccuracies. Major changes to the scientific content after acceptance require review and approval by the Editorial Board.

Currently, no. DJMP does not charge a manuscript submission fee.
