  "abstract": "Peer review plays a central role in ensuring the quality, rigour and relevance of medical research. For clinicians and researchers alike, it represents a critical checkpoint before evidence is incorporated into practice or policy. Yet, across many journals, authors continue to encounter extensive presubmission formatting requirements that contribute little to scientific evaluation while consuming substantial time. As medical research becomes increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary, the persistence of highly journal-specific stylistic rules appears increasingly misaligned with the needs of the clinical and academic community.",
