Submission Preparation Checklist

Article processing charge. JMHM is an open-access journal with no submission fee. If your manuscript is accepted after peer review, an article processing charge is payable before publication: CAD 800, or CAD 400 where the first author is a student. By submitting you confirm that you understand this and that funding for the charge is available. See Article Processing Charge.

Please have the following ready before you start. Each item is uploaded as a separate file in the submission wizard (step 2, "Upload Files"); choose the matching file type for each.

• Manuscript (Word or RTF). Format-free: one citation style used consistently (APA); no more than 8,000 words inclusive of the abstract but exclusive of references, tables, captions and notes; an unstructured abstract of about 200 words; 3 to 6 keywords. See Submit your article.
• Title page: title; every author's name, department, institution, city, country and e-mail address; the corresponding author's postal address and telephone number. Download the title page template (Word) and complete it. Author order must be agreed by all co-authors before submission. Enter each author's affiliation in the submission form's Contributors step as well. Submissions without complete author and contact information will be returned without review.
• Author contributions statement (encouraged): each author's role, using the CRediT roles (credit.niso.org): Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Writing – original draft; Writing – review & editing.
• Conflict of interest disclosure: any financial, professional, personal or institutional relationship that could influence the work, or a statement that there is none.
• Data availability statement (encouraged): where the data supporting the conclusions are available, any restrictions on access, a contact for data requests, and repository details for public datasets.
• Ethics approval statement: for research involving human participants (surveys, interviews, experiments), the name of the ethics committee, the approval number and a note on informed consent; for animal research, compliance with institutional animal care guidelines.

The statements may be placed on the title page or combined in one separate file. The submission must not have been published before and must not be under consideration by another journal (explain any exception in Comments to the Editor). The full policies are in Publication Ethics and Editorial Policies.
