Research brief report template for a journal of public health management and practice, designed for pilot studies, evaluations, or quasi-experimental work lacking the rigor of full formal research and/or comparison groups. The template sets a 1000–1500 word limit (excluding abstract, tables, figures, references, and policy/practice implications), and instructs authors to use a structured section flow from introduction through methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. It also specifies requirements for implications for policy and practice, supplemental digital content, and reference formatting.

FAQs

What is the required word limit for a research brief report in this template?

The report should be 1000–1500 words, and the word limit excludes the abstract, tables, figures, references, and the “Implications for Policy & Practice” section.

Which main sections must be included when using this template?

The template calls for a structured manuscript with introduction, methods, results, implications for policy and practice, and discussion and conclusion, along with optional supplemental digital content.

How should implications for policy and practice be handled?

Implications should address relevance to development, adoption, implementation, or evaluation of public health policies or practice in real-world settings and should avoid speculation and overgeneralization; if direct policy/practice implications are limited, the author must still explain relevance to future work.
