Title page

The title page should include the following:

- A title that accurately reflects the content of the research, including the research design if appropriate.

- The full names and institutional affiliations of all authors.

- If a collaboration group should be listed as an author, please list the group name as the author and include the individual members' names in the Acknowledgements section.

- Identification of the corresponding author.

It's important to note that large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not currently meet the authorship criteria for PhotoniX Life. Authorship carries accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs.

If an LLM was used in the research, its use should be properly documented in the Methods section (or a suitable alternative section if a Methods section is not available) of the manuscript.

Abstract

The abstract should concisely summarize the article's aim, key findings, and overall purpose. Avoid using abbreviations and do not include citations in the abstract.

Keywords

Provide 3-10 keywords that represent the main content and focus of the article.

Introduction

The Introduction should provide background on the study, explain the research aims, summarize relevant existing literature, and justify the need for this particular study.

Results

This section should present the key findings of the study, including the results of any statistical analyses. These can be conveyed through text, tables, and/or figures as appropriate.

Discussion (or combined Results and Discussion)

For research articles, the Discussion should interpret the findings in the context of existing research and acknowledge the limitations of the study. For methodology papers, this section should cover any practical or operational issues encountered in conducting the research.

Conclusions

The Conclusions should clearly state the main takeaways and explain the importance and relevance of the study to the field.

Methods/Experimental (can also be placed after Introduction)

Methods Section Content:

Clearly state the aim, design, and setting of the study.

Provide details about the participants or materials used, including relevant characteristics.

Give a detailed description of all processes and methodologies employed. Use generic names where possible, but include proprietary brand names in parentheses when relevant.

Specify the type of statistical analysis used, and include a power calculation if appropriate.

Ethics and Consent:

For studies involving human participants, data, tissue, or animals, the Methods section must include a statement on:

Ethics approval from the relevant review board or committee.

Informed consent obtained from participants.

This ensures the research was conducted in an ethical manner and with the appropriate protections in place.

List of abbreviations

Abbreviations:

Any abbreviations used in the text should be defined at first use.

Provide a list of all abbreviations used in the manuscript.

Declarations Section:

All manuscripts must include the following sections under the "Declarations" heading:

Availability of data and materials

Competing interests

Funding

Authors' contributions

Acknowledgments

Authors' information (optional)

If any of these sections are not applicable to your manuscript, include the section heading followed by "Not applicable".

The information to be provided in each Declarations section:

Availability of data and materials: Indicate where the data supporting the findings of this study are available.

Competing interests: Disclose any financial or non-financial competing interests.

Funding: Provide details of any funding received for the study.

Authors' contributions: Describe the specific contributions made by each author.

Acknowledgments: Acknowledge any individuals who contributed to the work but did not meet the criteria for authorship.

Authors' information (optional): Provide any additional details about the authors, if desired.

Availability of data and materials

The "Availability of data and materials" statement is a mandatory section that must be included in all manuscripts. This statement should provide information on where the data supporting the findings of the study can be accessed.

Possible formats for the data availability statement include:

"The datasets generated and/or analyzed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS]."

"The datasets used and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request."

"All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this published article [and its supplementary information files]."

"The datasets generated and/or analyzed during the current study are not publicly available due [REASON WHY DATA ARE NOT PUBLIC] but are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request."

"Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analyzed during the current study."

"The data that support the findings of this study are available from [third party name] but restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for the current study, and so are not publicly available. Data are however available from the authors upon reasonable request and with permission of [third party name]."

If the manuscript does not contain any data, the statement should simply state "Not applicable."

If the conclusions of the paper rely on publicly available data, the authors must cite that data in the manuscript. Data citations should include a persistent identifier, such as a DOI, and be included in the reference list. The data citations in the reference list should follow the minimum information recommended by DataCite and the journal's style. The dataset identifiers, including DOIs, should be expressed as full URLs in the references. For example:

Hao Z, AghaKouchak A, Nakhjiri N, Farahmand A. Global integrated drought monitoring and prediction system (GIDMaPS) data sets. figshare. 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.853801

With the corresponding text in the Availability of data and materials statement:

The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS].[Reference number]

Competing interests

All financial and non-financial competing interests must be declared in this section. The journal's editorial policies provide a full explanation of what constitutes a competing interest. If you are unsure whether you or any co-authors have a competing interest, you should contact the editorial office. When listing competing interests, use the authors' initials to refer to each individual. If there are no competing interests to declare, the section should state "The authors declare that they have no competing interests"

Funding

All sources of funding for the research reported in the manuscript must be declared. If the funding body has had a specific role in any aspect of the research, such as the conceptualization, design, data collection, analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript, this should be clearly stated.

Authors' contributions

The individual contributions of each author to the manuscript should be specified in this section. The journal's editorial policies guide the criteria for authorship. When listing the contributions, use the initials of the authors' names, for example: "FC analyzed and interpreted the patient data regarding the hematological disease and the transplant. RH performed the histological examination of the kidney and was a major contributor to writing the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript." This ensures clarity and transparency about the specific roles played by each author in the research and manuscript preparation.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgements:

Anyone who contributed to the article but does not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged, including those who provided professional writing services or materials. The authors must obtain permission to acknowledge from all those mentioned in this section. The journal's editorial policies provide a full explanation of the criteria for authorship and acknowledgments. If there is no one to acknowledge, the authors should write "Not applicable" in this section.

Group Authorship:

For manuscripts involving a collaboration group, if you would like the names of the individual members to be searchable through their PubMed records, you should:

Include the title of the collaboration group on the title page and in the submission system.

List the collaborating author names in the format "First Name, Middle initial(s) (optional), Last Name" as the last paragraph of the Acknowledgements section.

You can include institution or country information for each author, but it should be consistent across all authors.

Authors' information

This section is optional.

This section provides an opportunity to include relevant information about the author(s) that may help the reader understand the context and standpoint of the work. Appropriate information to include could be the authors' qualifications, current positions held at institutions or societies, or other relevant background details. When referring to the authors, use their initials rather than full names. This section should not be used to declare any competing interests, as that should be done in a separate dedicated section.

Footnotes

Footnotes should be designated within the text using a superscript number. It is not allowed to use footnotes for references/citations.

References

Examples of the Vancouver reference style are shown below.  See our editorial policies for author guidance on good citation practice.

Web links and URLs: All web links and URLs, including links to the authors' websites, should be assigned a reference number and included in the reference list rather than within the text of the manuscript. They should be provided in full, including both the title of the site and the URL, as well as the date the site was accessed. If an author or group of authors can be associated with a web link, such as for weblogs, then they should also be included in the reference.
