Instructions for Author

Practical guidance for preparing high quality manuscripts in tissue repair and regenerative medicine.

• Confirm your manuscript aligns with tissue repair or regenerative medicine scope.
• Select the correct article type and reporting guideline for your study design.
• Ensure all authors meet authorship criteria and approve the final draft.
• Identify the corresponding author and provide a working email address.
• Prepare ORCID identifiers where available for all contributing authors.
• Review funding, conflict of interest, and ethics requirements early.
• Verify that datasets and protocols can be shared or cited as required.
• Prepare a concise cover letter describing novelty and clinical relevance.
• Define the primary outcome measures and statistical approach.
• Confirm that all coauthors agree on data access plans.

• Use clear section headings and consistent terminology throughout.
• Number figures and tables consecutively with descriptive captions.
• Define abbreviations at first use and avoid excessive jargon.
• Provide units in SI where applicable and maintain consistency.
• Include a short running title and 4-6 keywords.
• Ensure references are accurate and complete for all citations.
• Supplementary files should be cited in the main text.
• Line numbers are recommended to support reviewer feedback.
• Avoid embedding low resolution images in the main document.
• Use standard gene and protein nomenclature where applicable.

• Human studies must include IRB or ethics committee approval.
• Obtain and document informed consent where applicable.
• Animal studies must follow established welfare guidelines.
• Disclose any conflicts of interest or competing financial relationships.
• State funding sources and grant numbers clearly.
• Register clinical trials and include registration identifiers.
• Document biosafety approvals for gene or cell therapy work.
• Declare use of AI assisted tools if used for analysis or writing.
• Provide statements for data privacy compliance where required.
• Report any deviations from the approved protocol.

• State the manuscript type and the main contribution in two to three sentences.
• Explain how the study advances tissue repair or regenerative medicine.
• Confirm that the manuscript is not under review elsewhere.
• List any prior preprints or conference presentations.
• Provide the corresponding author email and phone number.
• Include full author affiliations and ORCID identifiers if available.
• Identify any funding agencies and grant numbers clearly.
• Disclose conflicts of interest or industry relationships.

Describe statistical methods clearly, including software and version numbers. Specify how sample sizes were determined and how missing data were handled.

Report effect sizes, confidence intervals, and exact P values when possible. Transparent reporting supports replication and reduces ambiguity.

If the study includes multiple experiments or endpoints, explain how you controlled for multiplicity or repeated testing.

List all authors who made substantial contributions to conception, design, data acquisition, or interpretation. Contributions should be described clearly in the manuscript or cover letter.

If authorship disputes arise, the corresponding author should resolve them before submission. JTRR follows standard ethical guidelines for authorship changes.

Contributors who do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged separately.

If revisions are requested, respond to each reviewer point in a clear, numbered response letter. Indicate where changes were made in the manuscript and explain any points you could not address.

Revisions should focus on strengthening methodology, clarifying results, and improving transparency. Provide additional data or analyses when requested to support key claims.

Major revisions may be returned to reviewers for confirmation of changes.

Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting and proofing. Authors will receive proofs for approval and must respond promptly to avoid delays.

Final articles are published open access with DOI assignment and structured metadata to maximize discoverability.

Notify the editorial office of any post acceptance corrections as soon as possible.

Clear reporting and complete submission files speed up review and support strong, reproducible tissue repair research.
