Abstract: The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) first published its formal document
of “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” (URM) in 1978, and
has since made several revisions. The URM was renamed “Recommendations for the Conduct,
Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals” (ICMJE Recommendations)
in August 2013. This text is a Chinese language translation of the ICJME Recommendations updated
December 2019. Junyan Zhang from the Editorial Office of the Laboratory Animal and Comparative
Medicine, Xiaotian Yu from the Editorial Office of the Journal of Forensic Medicine, and Yuan Wang
from the Editorial Office of the Journal of Environmental and Occupational Medicine prepared this
translation. The ICMJE periodically updates the ICMJE Recommendations, so this translation
prepared in October 2020 may not accurately represent the current official version at www.icmje.org.
The ICMJE has not endorsed nor approved the contents of this reprint/translation. The official version
of ICMJE Recommendations is located at www.icmje.org. Users should cite this official version
when citing the document.
