Our journal is governed by CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) and includes 14 roles that are used to represent the roles typically played by contributors to academic-scientific production. Thus, we provide you with detailed guidance:

  • Assign terms appropriately to your collaborators within the research results.
  • Multiple possible roles: Individual collaborators can be assigned multiple roles, and a given role can be assigned to multiple collaborators.
  • Shared responsibility: Corresponding authors should take responsibility for role assignment and all contributors should have the opportunity to review and confirm assigned roles.

The 14 roles consist of:

  • Conceptualization: Ideas, formulation or evolution of the general goals and objectives of the research.
  • Data curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), cleanse data, and maintain research data (including software code, where necessary to interpret the data itself) for initial use and subsequent reuse.
  • Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.
  • Fund acquisition: Acquisition of financial support for the project leading to this publication.
  • Investigation: Carrying out a research process for conducting experiments or data/evidence collection.
  • Methodology: Methodology development or design; model creation.
  • Project administration: Responsibility for the direction and coordination of the planning and execution of the research activity.
  • Resources: Supply of study materials, reagents, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computer resources, or other analysis tools.
  • Software: Programming, software development, software design, implementation of computer code and supporting algorithms, testing of existing code components.
  • Supervision: Leadership oversight and responsibility for the planning and execution of the research activity, including mentoring external to the core team.
  • Validation: Verification, either as part of the activity or separately, of the overall replicability/reproducibility of the results/experiments and other research results.
  • Visualization: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published paper, in particular visualization/presentation of data.

⇑   Conclusions

  • They should highlight the main implications of the data obtained in the research and not make a statistical count of the values shown.
  • In all cases the conclusions must be justified by the data presented and respond to the proposed objectives.

⇑  Acknowledgments

  • Collate the acknowledgments in one section separated at the end of the article before the bibliography and therefore do not include them on the home page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those people who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, assistance with writing or proofreading the article, etc.).

⇑  Footnotes

  • Footnotes page layouts should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors can incorporate footnotes into the text and you can use this feature. Otherwise, indicate the position of the footnotes in the text and list the footnotes separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the reference list.

⇑  Abbreviations

  • Define non-standard abbreviations in list form and within this section.
  • Make sure abbreviations are consistent throughout the article.

⇑  Bibliography

In the section, it is very common that the metadata of the documents used are incomplete and are not presented with the homogeneity established by the Vancouver standard, which is the style bibliographical of the journal. In this way, in the arbitration processes various errors are detected due to omission of elements such as: date of publication, publishers and responsible institutions, standardized identifiers (ISSN, ISBN, DOI), places of publication, pages and electronic addresses. On the other hand, the names of the authors are placed incorrectly and grammatical errors occur in the writing of the titles.

To homogenize and facilitate the preparation of citations in the text and the bibliography, it is recommended to use the bibliographic manager Zotero and the citation style processor of the CSL journal (for its acronym in English) Vancouver that can be downloaded from the address https://www.zotero.org/styles/bibliotheque-universitaire-de-medecine-vancouver.

It is mandatory to incorporate the permanent or persistent identifier in each reference (Cu-ID, DOI, Handle, among others) as long as one has been assigned. To find these permanent identifiers, it is recommended to use the following services:

To prepare the different types of documents, edited and published works must be used such as: articles from scientific journals, books, book chapters, articles in conferences (conferences, symposiums, seminars, workshops and events, of which at least the proceedings have been published), patents and standards, reports from recognized institutions with international prestige (FAO, UNESCO, among others) that present the corresponding standardized identifier (ISBN, ISSN or DOI), maps and satellite images, legal resources and computer programs. Regardless of this range of possibilities, to prepare any type of document, articles in scientific journals should be used to a greater extent since these constitute the central unit of science to issue its results.

On the other hand, the use of the following sources should be limited: theses (when published in the form of scientific articles or books), newspaper articles, interviews, audiovisual documents, electronic documents not indexed in databases of scientific journals, web pages (less certain statistical sites). Self-citations, both from the author himself and from the journal, should not exceed 20% of the literature consulted.

Citations in the text are made through calls with Arabic numbers in parentheses. Each work cited in the text must have a unique number assigned in order of citation. If a work is cited more than once, it will retain the same number.

Citations of an author can be made by a number or by integrating the author's name followed by a number in the text. When an author is mentioned in the text, the reference number is placed after the author's name. If the author is not named, the number will appear at the end of the sentence, example:

  • Tumors can spread from the lung to any part of the body (1)...
  • As Lagman (2) indicated, diabetes care…

If the work has more than one author, the first author et al. will be cited in the text, example:

  • Simona et al. (5) establish that the principle

To cite a work that does not have a known author, you must use what is called 'corporate author'. For example, an organization or entity:

  • The Ministry of Health (4) has recently estimated that hepatitis…

When there is more than one quote, they must be separated by commas, but if they are correlative, the first and last are mentioned separated by a hyphen, example:

  • Modern scientific nomenclature really began with Linnaeus in botany (1), but other disciplines (2,5) were not many years behind in developing various systems (4-7) for nomenclature and symbolization

Text quote: It must be brief, less than five lines, it is inserted within the text between quotation marks, and the corresponding number is placed at the end, after the quotation marks and before the punctuation mark, example :

  • “…has been proven demonstrably false.” (4)
