Some types of research reports require specific organization of the manuscript and presentation of data.
We ask authors to follow available recommendations for the following study designs.
Examples include PRISMA for meta‐analyses of randomized controlled trials (http://www.stard‐ statement.org/), MOOSE for meta‐analyses of epidemiological studies (http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/articleabstract/192614), AMSTAR for systematic reviews (https://amstar.ca/index.php), STARD for studies of diagnostic accuracy (http://www.stard‐ statement.org/), STROBE for reporting observational studies in epidemiology (cohort, case‐control, and cross‐sectional studies; https://www.strobestatement.org/index.php?id=strobe‐home), ARRIVE for research using laboratory animals (https://www.nc3rs.org.uk/arrive‐guidelines), CONSORT for randomized controlled trials (http://www.consort‐statement.org/), TREND for non‐ randomized controlled trials (https://www.cdc.gov/trendstatement/), SQUIRE for quality improvement studies in health care (http://www.squire‐statement.org/), COREQ for reporting qualitative research (https://academic.oup.com/intqhc/article/19/6/349/1791966/Consolidated‐criteria‐for‐reportingqualitative), and CARE for case reports (http://www.care‐statement.org/).
Where the subjects of research comprise organisms capable of differentiation by sex and/or by gender the authors should follow SAGER guidelines (https://researchintegrityjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s41073‐016‐0007‐6). The latest updates of reporting guidelines are available from the EQUATOR Network ‐ an international initiative that seeks to enhance reliability and value of medical research literature by promoting transparent and accurate reporting of research studies (http://www.equatornetwork.org/resource‐centre/library‐ofhealthresearch‐reporting/).
The authors have to submit relevant checklist and flow diagrams with their manuscript.
Review:A review is an invited article written by an expert, providing a critical analysis and recent information on a relevant subject. The expert(s) must have significant own previous publications related to the subject. Unsolicited reviews should be discussed with the Editor‐in‐Chief before submission. The review should provide an authoritative, balanced, comprehensive, fully referenced and critical review of the literature. Critical evaluation of the included studies means that specific criteria were used to determine the validity of the selected studies. Such approach facilitates the decision-making process determining which articles would be included in the literature review. The review article should consist of an unstructured abstract and text organized according to the following headings: introduction, relevant section headings of the author’s choosing, conclusion, and references.
Manuscripts should be no longer than 3500 words of text, excluding the abstract (3-5 key words; unstructured abstract) and references. Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses should be submitted under the Original Research Article category and organized accordingly. However, all the reviews should have no more than 70 references.
Case Report which constitutes the entire article (Case report category) will not be published, but only case report as a part of an original article. The Case Report section, placed after the Introduction and before Materials and Methods, giving relevant clinical information about one or more patients while being incidental to the rest of the paper.
All articles must include ''Funding'' section. This section should appear after the ''Acknowledgement'' section. Authors must list any source of funds, i.e. details of funding of work, or authors, or professional help in writing a work, as follows: ''This work was supported.....'', including full official funding agency name and reference number.
If no specific funding has been received than this also should be clearly stated: ''Funding: no specific funding was received for this study''
TRANSPARENCY DECLARATION
All authors must disclose any degree of commercial or potential dual interest, financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work (employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other in this section.
If there is no any conflict, it should be stated: ''Conflicts of interest: None to declare''.
Each scientific fact and published statement in the text requires a relevant reference. Preferably, references should be widely visible on the Internet and refer to the most recent sources. Citing retracted and ‘predatory’ items is unacceptable.
