Author Guidelines

HUMANEA: Journal of Health and Wellbeing Research publishes original research articles and scholarly papers in the fields of health, wellbeing, and related disciplines. Manuscripts submitted to this journal must be original works, have not been previously published, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All manuscripts must be prepared using the official HUMANEA template and follow the guidelines outlined below:

1. Title and Author Information

The title should be concise, clear, and accurately reflect the content of the manuscript. It must be written in bold, 18-point font, left-aligned.

Author names should be written in full without academic titles, followed by institutional affiliations. One author must be identified as the Corresponding Author, with a valid and active email address provided.

2. Abstract and Keywords

The abstract must be written in English, using font size 9 pt, and contain 100–250 words. It should be informative and fully self-contained, enabling readers to quickly understand the essence of the manuscript. The abstract should clearly include:

  1. Background or research problem
  2. Objective(s) of the study
  3. Methodology
  4. Key results
  5. Main conclusions

The abstract must be written in the past tense, use standard scientific terminology, avoid abbreviations, and must not include citations or references.

Provide 3–5 keywords immediately after the abstract. Keywords should be relevant, specific, and separated by commas to enhance indexing and discoverability.

3. Introduction

The Introduction provides the background and rationale of the study. Authors should:

  1. Describe the research context and problem clearly
  2. Identify the research gap
  3. Explain the significance and relevance of the study
  4. State the research objectives explicitly

The introduction should be concise, well-structured, and written from general to specific. Subheadings are not permitted in this section.

4. Method

The Method section must clearly explain how the research was conducted so that it can be evaluated and replicated by other researchers. This section should describe:

  1. Research design and approach
  2. Population and sampling technique
  3. Instruments and data collection procedures
  4. Data analysis methods
  5. Validity and reliability strategies
  6. Ethical approval information (if applicable), including the name of the ethics committee and approval number

The description should balance clarity and conciseness, and no sub-sections should be used.

5. Results and Discussion

The Results and Discussion section presents the findings and their interpretation. Authors are expected to:

  1. Present the main findings clearly
  2. Interpret results in relation to the research objectives
  3. Compare findings with relevant previous studies
  4. Explain theoretical and/or practical implications
  5. Acknowledge study limitations
  6. Provide recommendations for future research

This section is the core of the manuscript and must not be divided into subheadings. Authors should avoid repetition of results and over-interpretation beyond the data.

6. Tables, Figures, and Graphics

Tables and figures should support the presentation of results and be referenced in the text. The following rules apply:

  1. Titles must be clear and self-explanatory
  2. Tables should be presented without vertical lines
  3. Figures must be original, high-quality, and unpublished
  4. Logos, photographs of individuals, trademarks, or copyrighted materials are not permitted

All graphics must meet professional and scholarly publication standards.

7. Conclusion

The Conclusion section synthesizes the key findings rather than restating the abstract. Authors should:

  1. State conclusions clearly and concisely
  2. Emphasize the contribution and originality of the study
  3. Highlight the relevance of the findings

No new data, references, or arguments should be introduced.

8. Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments should recognize individuals or institutions that contributed significantly to the study, including funding bodies. Grant numbers or funding references should be stated where applicable, and permission should be obtained from acknowledged parties.

9. References

This journal applies the Vancouver referencing style. All references must be numbered consecutively in the order in which they first appear in the text and indicated using Arabic numerals in square brackets. The reference list should be arranged numerically according to the order of citation. Authors are required to ensure that all references are accurate, complete, and formatted consistently in accordance with the Vancouver style guidelines.
