Instructions to authors
Scope and policy
Biomédica is the quarterly journal of the Instituto Nacional de Salud of Colombia [Colombia’s National Institute of Health]. Its main purpose is to publish the results of original research that may contribute to expand knowledge in biomedicine.
Editorial policy
Biomédica accepts and subscribes the guidelines established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (www.icmje.org), by the Equator Network (http://www.equator-network.org/) and by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (http://publicationethics.org/) in order to guarantee the quality of scientific publications, their transparency, integrity and full compliance with the ethical principles applicable to biomedical research.
Biomédica’s policy on authorship adheres to the ICMJE guidelines, which state in this regard that:
“Authorship should be based solely on the following:
1) Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work;
2) drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
3) final approval of the version to be published, and
4) responsibility for all aspects of the manuscript to ensure that matters concerning accuracy and completeness of any of its sections have been appropriately investigated and solved.
All authors should meet these four conditions. Fund raising, data collection or general supervision of the research group do not justify authorship.”
Biomédica will not accept the inclusion or withdrawal of any author from the original list once the manuscript has started the editorial process. In exceptional, applicable cases, it will be mandatory to obtain written consent of the author(s) whose name(s) are to be removed from or added to the manuscript. Besides, written consent should be sent stating that all authors meet authorship criteria, and that there are no other authors who meet these criteria and are not mentioned. The document should also describe in detail the contribution of each participant to the research work and to the article.
