Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals
- Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals
The Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (abbreviated URM and often shortened to Uniform Requirements) is a set of guidelines produced by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, for standardising the ethics, preparation and formatting of manuscripts submitted for publication by biomedical journals. Compliance with the "Uniform Requirements" is required by most leading biomedical journals and over 629 journals internationally (circa June 2006) follow the "Uniform Requirements".[International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.

References are numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text – they are identified by Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses.
