References

Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references and for correct text citation. Number references in the order they appear in the text. In text, tables, and legends, identify references with superscript Arabic numerals. When listing references, abbreviate names of journals according to the journals list in PubMed. References should include a PubMed ID (PMID) number. Use a DOI number when a PMID is not available.

Format: 

The reference section should be double-spaced, use Times New Roman, 11-pt font, with superscripted Arabic numbers to the far-left margin. There should be 0.25 inches between the number and citation.

        Ex. 1    Carte M. KJM editing guide 2022. KUSM-W 2022; 1(1): 1-6. PMID: 12345678.

Authors:

List all authors when 6 or fewer; when there are 7 or more, list the first 3 then et al. Format as last name and first and middle initial, without commas or periods. Do not use "and" between authors. Abbreviations such as Jr. or III will follow first and middle initial. 

        Ex. 1    Carte ME Jr, Hilgenfeld EG III, Cornejo A, et al.
