This venue
Draft in [preprint] (one column). Set \journal to the target title and read that Guide for Authors.
Most titles are single-blind; some are double-blind. Human studies need ethics materials.
Length
Journal length. Highlights, graphical abstract, and word caps follow the target journal.
Review
Submit in Editorial Manager / EES. Anonymize as that journal’s guide says.
Typesetting
elsarticle + numbered refs (elsarticle-num.bst). Some titles want Harvard (elsarticle-harv)—change the bst. Keywords use the keyword environment and \sep.
Before you write
- \journal set to the target title.
- Numbered vs author–year references.

- Not a leftover IEEE compsoc shell.
Official pages

FAQ
- Is this The Lancet?
- No. The Lancet is Word-first—do not treat elsarticle as a Lancet class.
- vs IEEE TMI?
- IEEE medical-imaging transactions use TMI; Elsevier titles such as MedIA use this kit.
- Camera-ready?
- Drafting only. Production often switches to 3p/5p.
