 EVALUATION of MANUSCRIPTS |
|
All newly submitted manuscripts are read by the Editor, who reject outright unsolicited articles. All other manuscripts are sent to two experts in editorial boards. They are reviewed in editorial board before it is decided whether they should be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision. If one reviewer out of two decides to reject the manuscript, the manuscript will be sent to another reviewer for review. The final acceptance for publication is decided in editorial board based on the assessment from three reviewers. If the reviewer decided to reject the manuscript or the manuscript is not decided for publication despite of second revision, it is decided for reject. If the manuscript is rejected, an original manuscript and one copy of photo will be returned to the author.
|
| COVER LETTER |
The corresponding author must give written assurance that neither the submitted material nor portions thereof have been published previously or are under consideration for publication elsewhere. When more than one related manuscript has been published or is under consideration for publication by this or other journals, authors are required to declare this in their letter and to enclose copies of those publications for an editorial perusal. Failure to do so may lead to automatic rejection of the submitted manuscript.
The corresponding author should certify that all listed authors participated meaningfully in the study and that they have seen and approved the final manuscript.
|
| AUTHORSHIP |
All authors must have made a significant intellectual contribution to the manuscript according to the criteria formulated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Authorship credits should be based only on substantial contributions to conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data; drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and on final approval of the version to be published.
Participation solely in the acquisition of funds or the collection of data does not justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not sufficient for authorship.
|
| PUBLICATION and CONTENT CHARGES |

Authors have an opportunity to review these changes when they correct their proofs.
