Submission by email is not accepted. The editorial email editors.amcr@gmail.com is for technical or policy questions only.

Scope and Article Types

AMCR considers clinically and scientifically relevant manuscripts within medicine and related health sciences, including original research, systematic reviews or other evidence syntheses, and case reports or case series that offer clear educational value. Authors should consult the Aim and Scope before submission.

General Requirements

• Submit an original manuscript that is not published and not under consideration elsewhere.
• Write in clear academic English and remove author-identifying information from the anonymized review file.
• Provide the title, all authors' names, affiliations, countries, corresponding-author contact, and ORCID identifiers where available as OJS metadata.
• Include an informative abstract and keywords, followed by a structured manuscript appropriate to the article type.
• Number references in order of appearance and format them consistently in Vancouver style. Verify every citation, DOI, and URL.
• Upload editable tables and high-quality figures with captions, permissions, and appropriate patient consent where applicable.

Case Reports and Case Series

Case reports should follow the CARE guideline and include a completed CARE checklist. The manuscript should present the patient information, clinical findings, diagnostic assessment, therapeutic intervention, follow-up and outcomes, a clear timeline, discussion, patient perspective when appropriate, and an informed-consent statement.

Authors must obtain written informed consent for publication from the patient or an authorized legal representative, including consent for images and potentially identifiable information. Direct identifiers must be removed and unnecessary identifying details avoided. Consent is required even when names are omitted if identification remains reasonably possible. Do not upload the consent form unless the editor requests it; retain it securely.

Research Ethics

Research involving human participants must state the ethics committee name, approval or exemption number, and informed-consent process. Animal research must state the approving body and relevant welfare standard. Clinical trials must provide prospective registration details where required. Editors may request protocols, approvals, consent documentation, data, or other supporting records.

Reporting Standards

Use the reporting guideline appropriate to the study design, such as CARE for case reports, CONSORT for randomized trials, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews, STARD for diagnostic-accuracy studies, or ARRIVE for animal research. Submit the completed checklist when applicable.

Required Declarations

Place the following statements in the manuscript: author contributions; conflicts of interest; funding and sponsor role; acknowledgments; ethics approval; consent to participate when applicable; consent for publication when applicable; and data availability. If an item does not apply, state “Not applicable.”

Authorship

All authors must make substantial contributions, participate in drafting or critical revision, approve the final version, and accept accountability. Contributors who do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged. Authorship changes require written reasons and agreement from all affected authors.

Artificial Intelligence

AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authors must disclose material use of generative or AI-assisted tools, verify all output and citations, and remain fully responsible for the manuscript. Confidential, copyrighted, or identifiable patient information must not be entered into external AI systems. AI-generated or manipulated images are not permitted unless they form part of a transparent, reproducible research method.

Peer Review, Fees, and License

Manuscripts that pass editorial screening undergo double-anonymous review by at least three independent reviewers. The APC is IDR 1,500,000 for Indonesian authors or USD 160 for authors outside Indonesia, payable only after acceptance; waivers are not available. Authors retain copyright, and articles are published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

Revisions and Proofs

Revised submissions must include a clean manuscript, a marked version when requested, and a point-by-point response. Authors are responsible for checking proofs promptly and limiting proof-stage changes to corrections that do not alter the accepted scientific content.
