Technical details
If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, please ensure a blind review. Delete authors’ names, acknowledgements and references that suggest the identity of the authors on the main paper and add as a separate file. Remove information from the authors in the details of the paper properties.
Title, subtitles and biography
A brief autobiographical note can be supplied.
Notes are not allowed in the title, biography or any of the subtitles.
Subtitles must be short and clearly defined.
Titles and subtitles should be indicated by using numbers in parenthesis (for example: (0). Title paper; (1). Title first paragraph; (1.2) Title subparagraph; (2). Title second paragraph; etc.). These numbers will not be published, but they are used for indexing.
Tables and figures
Illustrations, figures, tables, photographs, et cetera must be submitted in a form and condition suitable for electronic publishing. They must appear in the text on the right spot and be numbered in Arabic numerals according to the sequence of their appearance in the text (e.g. Fig. 1., Fig. 2.; Table 1., Table 2.). In addition, they must be provided with a brief descriptive title and legend.
Tables and figures (etc.) should also be sent in separate files, if possible in colour and at a resolution of at least 300dpi. Each file should not be more than 20MB.
Literature references
IJIC uses the Vancouver referencing system.
Where available, DOIs for the references should be provided.
Do NOT number automatically.
Do not use italics.
All references cited in the text should be listed numerically at the end of the manuscript in order of their appearance in the text, not in alphabetical order (1. Author etc.)
Include International References ALL with English translation. All non-English references should have an English translation of the title between square brackets and the language used in the publication should be mentioned at the end of the reference. Example:

[Primary Care and Psychiatry link: Reggio Emilia study and organization.]. Rivista Sperimentale di Freniatria: la rivista dei servizi di salute mentale. 1995;119(4):555-563. [in Italian].
Books: The form of literature references to books should be: author(s) - mention first six, if more: add "et al" -, initials, title of book, city publisher, year and page number referred to. Example:

General guidance
IJIC accepts different types of manuscripts for publication.To improve the chance of acceptance of your manuscript, we recommend reading the following information when preparing your manuscript.
Previous publication and electronic preprints (eprints): IJIC does not want to publish material that has already appeared elsewhere. But we do accept some papers that have been published as abstracts or have been partially reported by the media at scientific meetings, and some that have already appeared in foreign language journals. Previous publication in electronic form, known as preprint or eprint, may also be acceptable. In all these cases authors should tell us about previous publication and supply us with copies of such previous versions. Then we can decide whether publication in IJIC will add usefully to the literature on the topic of integrated care, or whether it will just add redundant material.
Redundant publication: To protect readers and researchers from being overwhelmed by redundant material we do not want to publish papers that overlap substantially with papers published elsewhere. Whenever a paper submitted to IJIC overlaps by more than 10% with previously published work, or work submitted elsewhere, we want authors to send us copies of those papers. We will then decide if it is an acceptable degree of overlap.
Web links: If we accept your article we will insert hyperlinks to related sites (e.g. full text of referenced articles) so readers can directly go from your article to the related site. If you have the web addresses (URLs) of these related links available for us, please include them in the relevant places in the text of your article.
Privacy statement: IJIC is very concerned about the privacy of its authors and guards their data carefully. All data supplied by the author are secured and not available to third parties unless the author explicitly grants permission in exceptional cases. On delivery the manuscripts are time-stamped and marked with an identification code. This information is documented and will not be altered. Additionally, internal practises help protect your privacy by limiting employee access to and use of your data. Subsequently, the manuscript enters the peer reviewing procedure anonymously. If you have any questions or concerns about your privacy please contact the managing editor.
Liability: International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) accept no liability whatsoever for the consequences of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinions or statements. Although every effort is made by IJIC and the editorial board of this online journal to see that no inaccurate or misleading data, opinions or statements appear in this issue, we wish to make clear that the data and opinions appearing in the articles are the responsibility of the contributor concerned.
Reproducibility: If data, structured methods or code used in the research project have been made openly available, a statement should be added to inform the reader how/where to access these files. This should include the repository location and the DOI linking to it. Read our reproducibility guide for more information on best practice and maximising the impact of your open data. If data used in the research project has not been made available, a statement confirming this should be added, along with reasoning why. The journal's data policy is available on the Editorial Policies page.

Publication Fees
All papers submitted on or after 15 February 2021, that are accepted for publication, will incur an author fee of £1500*.
Many institutions have funds available to support open access publications by their staff, therefore we ask that you contact the relevant body to cover the APC. If you do not know about your institution’s policy on open access funding, please contact your departmental/faculty administrators and institution library, as funds may be available to you.
Papers submitted on or after 15 February 2021 that are first-authored by PhD students and accepted for publication, will incur a discounted author fee of £750*.
If any PhD student does not have access to a publication budget then, with an accompanying signed and stamped letter from their University, we will publish articles from those PhD students at no cost.
* Fees are VAT exclusive. VAT will be charged where applicable.
We run a bursary scheme to reduce author fee costs to authors from low- and middle-income countries (please contact our Managing Editor, Susan Royer, in the first instance).
No fee will be charged on thesis summaries, book reviews, guest editorials and any other papers directly solicited from the Editorial Board.
£360 plus VAT of the APC covers publisher processing costs at Ubiquity Press (editorial processes; platform development and maintenance; indexing; marketing; archiving; DOI registration etc.). This also ensures that all of the content is fully open access.
The remaining fees primarily cover costs to the journal’s sponsor, IFIC, in covering the salary of the IJIC managing editor, to providing bursaries for publishing articles (for example, from PhD students without publication budgets, and low- or middle-income countries where publication may be provided for free); and for marketing of the Journal to ensure that articles are well publicised across IJIC’s registered readers and IFIC’s wider network. Some costs are associated with holding web-based and face-to-face meetings of the journal’s Editors. No Editors receive remuneration or gifts-in-kind for their commitment to the Journal.
For further information about Journal policies regarding author fees please contact the Managing Editor at susanroyer@integratedcarefoundation.org
Enquiries regarding fees for Conference Supplements and Special Themed Editions should be directed to Susan Royer, in the first instance.
Waiver Information
If you do not have funds to pay such fees, you will have an opportunity to waive each fee. We do not want fees to prevent the publication of worthy work.
