Structure of Manuscripts

​

1. Abstract

The Abstract should be no more than 350 words and one paragraph only. Avoid quotations and citing references in your abstract. The font size for the abstract is 11 pt. Minimum 4 keywords should be included in the abstract. 

 

2. Introduction

Effectively outline the study's objective and its connection to previous research within the field and also the importance of the study. A concise overview of the study's relevance through a brief background may be required for reader understanding. However, refrain from delving into an exhaustive literature review.

​

3. Materials and Methods

Provide detailed descriptions of the study participants or research materials, including explicit explanations of the inclusion and exclusion criteria for both the experimental and control groups. Clearly outline the experimental methods and materials used for reproducibility by other researchers. This includes experimental devices or other products; state the brand name followed by the manufacturer's name in parentheses. Additionally, provide comprehensive details regarding statistical analysis and criteria for determining significance, enabling knowledgeable readers with access to the original data to verify the reported results.

 

4. Results

Concisely summarize and describe the significant findings and observed trends in the results using a combination of text, figures, and tables. Minimize redundant repetition of information presented in the tables and figures within the text.

​

5. Discussion

Analyze the results in relation to the study's objectives, highlighting differences from previous studies and emphasizing significant findings that contribute to drawing conclusions. Avoid irrelevant literature and focus on newly acquired insights from the study and address significant limitations encountered.

​

6. Acknowledgments

Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript but before the list of references.

​

7. Funding

All funding received for the research and the work should be clearly stated.

​

8. Conflict of Interest

Potential conflicts of interest should be declared.

​

9. References

The Journal of Asia Pacific Aesthetic Sciences follows the Vancouver numbered referencing style. Citations to someone else’s work in the text should be indicated by the use of a number. When citing more than one article in the same sentence, you will need to include the citation number for each article. References in the text, tables, and legends should be numbered in parentheses (e.g., [1], [1,4], [1,3-5]) and cited consecutively in the order of appearance in the manuscript. A hyphen should be used to link numbers that are inclusive, and a comma should be used where numbers are not consecutive.

​

A reference list should appear at the end of the paper under the heading "References." All references should be arranged in numerical order. References in tables, figures, and panels should be in numerical order according to where the item is cited in the text. Journal names should be written in full. When there are six or fewer authors, all should be listed; when there are seven or more, list only the first six and add et al.

The manuscript must be written in English with a font size of 11 pt Times New Roman. The text should be justified. The full paper, including figures, tables, and references, must have a minimum length of 6 pages and cannot exceed 15 pages.

 

Language

When writing the paper, please remember to use UK spelling, i.e., spellings such as 'colour' not 'color,' 'behaviour' (or 'behavioural') not 'behavior,' '[school] programme' not 'program,' '[he] practises' not 'practices,' 'centre' not 'center,' 'organization' not 'organisation,' 'analyse' not 'analyze,' etc.

 

Acronyms

All acronyms should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter, the acronym can be used if appropriate. For example, 'The work for the Ministry of Health (MOH)...'. Subsequently, 'The MOH studies on...'.

​

Equations, tables and figures

Equations must be written preferably with the same word processor used for the rest of the text, without handwritten symbols, to aid legibility. Equations must be numbered sequentially, with their numbers in parentheses and right-justified. All tables and figures must be referred to in the text as follows: 'Figure 1,' 'Table 1,' i.e., 'As seen in Table [or Figure] 1 ...' (not 'tab.,' 'fig.,' or 'Fig.'). All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2). Please ensure that tables do not split over the page

 

Titles of tables and figures

Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text. Do not type the caption for a figure on the figure itself; instead, legends for any illustrations must be typed separately following the main text.
