Submission guidelines
Instructions for Authors
Types of papers
The journal publishes Invited Editorials, Reviews, Original Articles, Brief Reports, and Letters. To facilitate rapid publication manuscripts should be prepared carefully in accordance with the following requirements.
Editorials should consist of the
– title page,
– text,
– references,
– tables and/or figures (if any).
Reviews should consist of the
– title page
– abstract
– text
– references
– tables and/or figures (if any).
Original Articles should contain the following sections in the order shown:
– title page
– abstract
– keywords
– introduction
– materials and methods
In the section on materials and methods, sufficient detail should be given so that experiments can be repeated; a reference suffices for commonly used materials and methods.
– results
The authors’ results only, without interpretation, should be presented in the results section; results presented in the tables and figures should not be repeated unnecessarily in the text. The discussion section should provide an interpretation of the results in relation to findings of other investigators; conclusions should be stated clearly.
– discussion
– acknowledgement (if any)
– references
– tables and/or figures (if any)
Length of an original article should be approximately 3,500 to 4.500 words (excluding references).
Brief Reports should be no more than 1500 words and contain the following:
– title page
– abstract (with less than 100 words)
– text
– references
Letters should consist of the:
– title page
– text (no more than 800 words)
– references (no more than 10)
– tables and/or figures (no more than 2, if any).
Manuscripts from all countries will be considered for publication. EJCMID will only consider original manuscripts that have not been published previously or been submitted simultaneously for consideration elsewhere in the same or substantially the same form in English or in any other language. As a rule, the opinion of at least two reviewers will be sought before determining whether a manuscript should be accepted, rejected or returned to the authors for revision. However, submissions that are outside the scope of the journal, too preliminary in nature or of regional value only, may be rejected immediately by editorial decision without review.
Authors submitting a manuscript should suggest at least four potential reviewers who are acknowledged to have expertise in the subject of the work. These persons must not be or have been members of the institution(s) of the authors or have been associated with them. Being associated in this regard is referring to authors and suggested reviewers publishing together within the last two years. The address, fax number, e-mail address and area of expertise must be provided for each person suggested. EJCMID will use such recommended reviewers at its own discretion.
EJCMID has adopted the following guidelines on authorship drawn up by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Each author should have participated sufficiently in the study to take public responsibility for the content. This participation must include conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data, or both; drafting the article or revising it for critically important intellectual content; and final approval of the version to be published. Participation solely in the collection of data does not justify authorship.
The language of EJCMID is English. Authors whose native language is not English must ensure that the language in the manuscript is checked before submission for correctness of grammar, syntax and usage. This must be done by a native speaker of English who has knowledge of the subject matter. Poor quality of the language used may result in immediate rejection of the manuscript.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission
Please follow the hyperlink “Submit manuscript” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files. Failing to submit these source files might cause unnecessary delays in the review and production process.
Title Page
Please make sure your title page contains the following information.
Title
The title should be concise and informative.
Author information
The name(s) of the author(s)
The affiliation(s) of the author(s), i.e. institution, (department), city, (state), country
A clear indication and an active e-mail address of the corresponding author
If available, the 16-digit ORCID of the author(s)
If address information is provided with the affiliation(s) it will also be published.
For authors that are (temporarily) unaffiliated we will only capture their city and country of residence, not their e-mail address unless specifically requested.
