Author Guidelines

Preparation of Manuscripts

Preparing the manuscript, authors are kindly requested to adhere to the following regulations based on the “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals”, developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors

Submitted manuscripts should be condensed to the utmost compatible with clarity, but should contain sufficient detail to understand and reproduce the work.

The manuscript is to be arranged in the following order:

  • Title page
    1. Title
    2. Authors' first and last names
    3. Complete names of institutions with their addresses, E-mail addresses
  • Abstract
  • Key words
  • Paper body

Title page

Title should be as short and informative as possible and should not contain abbreviations.

If the work was carried out at more than one institution, the authors' names should be followed by superscript numbers indicating authors' affiliations. Indicate by asterisk following the superscript number the author to whom to address correspondence.

Complete names of institutions with their postal addresses, E-mail addresses should be given for each author..

Abstract

It should not contains no more than 250 words, but it should succinctly and clearly present the major significant results of the investigation and conclusions therefrom.

Paper body

It should be divided into:

  • Introductory part
  • Materials and Methods
  • Results
  • Discussion (if discussion is short, the Results and Discussion sections may be combined)

 

The introductory part should state the purpose of the investigation with imperative references to relevant previous works.

The description of the methods in Materials and Methods should be as short as possible but adequate for repetition of the work by a qualified investigator. This section should also contain the names of the manufacturers (including country name) of the main materials and reagents. Only new procedures should be described in detail; published procedures should merely be referred to by literature citation. If the procedure is not generally known, it is appropriate to mention the principle and the author(s). References like “nuclease was assayed by method [7]” or “...according to [7]” should be avoided

The Results are usually presented in figures and tables; some results that do not need documentation can be given in the text. Extensive discussion should not be given in this section and should be limited to an explanation of the logical links between the described experiments.

The Discussion should deal with interpretation and not with recapitulation of the results. Use of a simple and pictorial scheme to illustrate the major results is encouraged.

Acknowledgments of financial support should be given at the end of the Discussion section.

The list of References (see below for the style) should be as brief as possible but should contain all relevant recent publications of fundamental importance. The references should be cited in the text by numbers in square brackets consecutively in the order of appearance in the manuscript.

Manuscript format

  • The volume of original articles should not exceed 15 pages of printed text and 20 pages for review articles, including references. Manuscripts should be typewritten and 1.5-spaced throughout in one column without right justification on one side of 210 × 297 mm (A4 format) white paper, with a 3-cm margin on the left side. Each page should contain no more than 30 lines.
    In the electronic version, text files should be submitted in Microsoft Word 6.0 or a later version, using Times New Roman font of 14 pitch size.
    Text format should be as simple as possible, without preprogrammed titles, insertions and cross-references, and without increased space between lines or characters. Use only Word template “Normal”. In particular, this refers to the References section, as preprogrammed reference numbers are not recognized by the publisher's software.
  • Each table should have a title and be typed on a separate sheet. The same data will not be published in two forms, e.g., a table and a figure or a table and in the text. All table columns should have brief headings. Avoid columns with data that are easily derived from other columns, e.g., by subtraction or taking percent.
  • Each figure should be supplemented with an informative title and legend that make its meaning comprehensible without reference to the text. Conditions specific to a particular experiment should be stated. References to the text are permissible to avoid repetitions and ambiguity. Color graphics are printed in the journal only when color is essential for understanding the results presented.
    Figures may be prepared with any editor, but the final file should be in one of the following formats: TIFF or JPEG (300 DPI real resolution).
    Failure to follow these rules for preparing graphical material may require its sending back to the authors for modification and will result in a delay in manuscript publication.
  • Text bibliographic references should be given by figures in square brackets according to the references list in the end of article. The quantity of references should not exceed 20 names for the articles and 60 names for literature reviews. They should be settled down in alphabetic order.
    The recommended style for references is based on the National Information Standards Organization NISO Z39.29-2005 (R2010) Bibliographic References as adapted by the National Library of Medicine for its databases. Details are in Citing Medicine. (Note Appendix F which covers how citations in MEDLINE/PubMed differ from the advice in Citing Medicine.) Sample references typically used by authors of journal articles are provided below.

Author Fees

This journal charges the following author fees.

Fast-Track:

Price: 1100.00 (USD)

OPTIONAL PAYMENT

The Fast-Track is a review process and editorial workflow to authors seeking a very fast editorial decision and rapid publication at a higher submission fee to compensate the extreme fast referees and editorial work.

For the Fast-Track users:

  • the guaranteed response time (report and decision letter) is 21 days, starting the count from the first business day on which valid payment information has been received from the submitting author;
  • the guaranteed issue for publication (in case of manuscript acceptance) is a nearest upcoming issue of the journal.

If you choose “Fast-Track” for your manuscript the submission fee is US$1100.

Please note, that the “Fast-Track” option does not guarantee a positive review and acceptance of a manuscript itself. It's only brings an extreme fast time scedule for manuscript processing thrue all editorial procedires. Thus, if the manuscript receives negative reviews, and if the editorial board will take the side of reviewers, the manuscript will be rejected. If the reviewers recomend revisions of the manuscript, the final decision on publication will be only after revised manuscript submission and the second round of review.

The Fast-Track option does not exclude the necessary for correct manuscript formatting. Please ensure that the manuscript corresponds to the formatting guidelines for this journal (you can find them on Author Guidelines page).

To activate the Fast-Track option, the submitting author should make payment from his/her personal account on the journal's website after submitting an article. After making the payment and sending the notification to the editor, the authors will receive confirmation by email and within the next 21 days — the results of the article reviewing and the editorial decision.

In opposite to the Fast-Track option authors can use the standart protocol for manuscript selection in our journal (review and editorial workflow). The standart time for review and editorial workflow are described in detail on the PeerReview page. You can also find the statistic info about the editorial workflow on the STAT page.

Optional Open Access:

Price: 950.00 (USD)

OPTIONAL PAYMENT (this will NOT abrogate the Peer-Review decesion-based article selection).

Through Optional Open Access, authors of accepted papers are given the option of paying an open access publication charge to make their paper freely available online immediately via the journal website, meaning that readers will not need a journal subscription to view open access content. If an author does not choose to pay the open access publication charge, their paper will be published in the normal manner, and will not be made freely available online immediately.

Therefore there will be a mixture of non-open access and open access papers within each journal issue. Open access articles will be clearly indicated on the journal's online contents page. In order to view the non-open access content, a current subscription to the journal will be required. Online, print and combined subscription options will continue to be available to institutions.
