Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
• POLICY ON PROCESSING OF NEW MANUSCRIPTS
  
  The Board of the Journal has decided that a token amount be charged for processing the manuscript without prejudice to the publication fee on final acceptance. To this end, a processing fee of Sixty dollars (USD 60.00) is to be paid by authors along with the manuscript at submission. This policy took effect on 1st January 2010. Solicited contributions are exempted from the payment of processing fees. All payments should be made payable to the “West African Journal of Medicine” and with bank
  commissions borne by drawers. Payments may also be made to the following Journal account by electronic transfer:
  
  Payment in Dollars (Domiciliary Account)
  Account Name:
  West African Journal Medicine
  Account Number: 0483489788
  Bank: GT Bank
  Swift Code: GTBINGLA
  Sort Code: 058194010
  
  The processing and publication fees remain $60.00 and $150.00 respectively. Given the prevailing economic conditions, the increasing production costs, and the fluctuating exchange rates, we kindly request authors submit payments in
  US Dollars (USD) for all processing and publication fees. However, if there is difficulty in transacting in USD,
  Please don't hesitate to contact the Editor-in-Chief via Email: wajmeditorinchief@gmail.com or WhatsApp (08068925934).
