PRESENTATION OF WORK

The works will be introduced in Word, with Verdana, score 10 and with 1.5 interlinear spaces. The page number will be placed in the lower right corner of the sheet.

The references or citations should be numbered consecutively in the order they are first mentioned in the text. When there is more than one appointment, they must be separated by commas including correlatives, in parentheses and in superscript.

When an author is mentioned in the text, the reference number is placed after the author's name. If it were a work carried out by more than two authors, the first one is cited, followed by the abbreviation " et al." And its superscript reference number in parentheses.

Only those references personally consulted by the authors will be included. No work should be cited through the opinions of third parties, otherwise the established ethical treatment must be given: Santana del Rio JD ., Cited by Cruzata Álvarez NC et al. (50) Abstracts will not be cited only complete works.  

Style and format of bibliographic references

The style of the Uniform Requirements primarily based on standard s ANSI style adapted by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for its databases.

Bibliographic references should be numbered consecutively, following the order in which they first appear in the text. References in the text, tables and legends will be identified by Arabic numbers in parentheses. References cited only in tables or figures should be numbered following the order in which they are mentioned for the first time in the text. The names of the journals should be abbreviated according to the style used by the Index Medicus. Consult the list of journals indexed in the Index Medicus, published annually by the NLM in a specific document and which also appears in the January issue of the Index Medicus. Authors should consult this aspect in the journal's instructions.

Bibliographic references will be presented according to the "Vancouver style recommendations" and will be numerically delimited in order of appearance in the text at the end of the work as follows:

 RECOMMENDATIONS TO WRITE BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES

References or citations constitute a prominent section in a scientific paper. The careful selection of relevant documents is an element that gives solidity to theoretical exposition of the text, at the same time as it constitutes an important source of information for the reader.

 - References should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are mentioned for the first time in the text. Some journals in their instructions for authors recommend that Arabic numerals be used in superscripts and in brackets.

- When there is more than one appointment, they must be separated by commas, including correlatives. Appointments are located after the punctuation mark. It is advised to only quote up to four authors at a time.

- Only those references personally consulted by the authors will be included. Citing work through the opinions of third parties may mean that nonexistent opinions are attributed to it. It is also frequent that the work is misquoted and that we contribute to perpetuating citation errors.

- It is recommended not to include works written in infrequent languages. If for some special circumstance we are forced to cite them and their spelling is not Latin, it is recommended to translate the title into Spanish or English. PubMed performs an English translation and puts them in square brackets. If we quote it through its summary, we must specify this particularity, putting it in square brackets after the title [Summary] [Abstracts].

- It is recommended not to cite magazines translated into Spanish. It is advisable to retrieve the citation of the original version, since it is easier to locate an original magazine than a translated version, in addition to being the most reliable original document.

- The documents cited must be current and must not be more than five years old; p that they are of the last three. Only cite documents that are older, for historical reasons of n or Met ass updated references as an alternative.

- To properly cite electronic documents, we recommend consulting the document on Internet bibliographic citations published by the National Library of Medicine of the USA, or the International Standards Organization (ISO 690-2) for electronic documents.

- Documents, reports, reports, protocols etc. unpublished, it is recommended not to include them in the literature, but can n include it in the text as "unpublished observations". Its location, identification and access can be very difficult. They are usually documents from which no legal deposit is made, therefore they are not kept in libraries or documentation centers.

- References made from accepted but not yet published originals will be indicated with expressions such as "in press" or "next publication"; Authors can obtain authorization for proof of publication on the page offered by the platform. Information on manuscripts submitted to a journal but not accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observations", prior written authorization of the author.

- Quotations should be avoided, unless it is a very justified reason. The full documents will be consulted. Also, do not cite a "personal communication", except when it provides essential information that is not available in publicly accessible sources, in these cases they will be included in parentheses in the text, the name of the person and the date of the communication . In scientific articles, authors citing personal communication must obtain written authorization.

- Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the style used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Please consult the Journals Database of PubMed. To check the abbreviation of Spanish journals, you can consult the catalog C17 (Collective catalog of periodical publications of the Spanish Health Sciences Libraries). In the event not locate an abbreviation, please consult the "List of serial title Word abbreviations International" in accordance with ISO 4 standard, or the "The List of Title Word ABBREVIATIONS" the ISSN agency.

- Once bounded references, there must be correspondence between citations in the text and the number assigned in the s references.

- Bibliographic references often contain errors. To avoid such errors, they should be verified with the original documents. PubMed, in the Single Citation Matcher allows you to easily check the bibliographic data of the journals indexed in Medline.

 

BOARDS

The tables collect the information in a summarized way and present it efficiently. They also allow to display the information with the desired level of detail and precision. The inclusion of data in the tables instead of in the text usually allows to reduce the extension of the same.

 You must prepare the table s double spaced on different pages. Tables must be numbered consecutively, in the same order in which they are first cited in the text. Each table must be accompanied by a short title. Tables should not need to be opened without r horizontal or vertical interior lines. Each column in the table must contain a short or abbreviated header.

 Explanations should be included in footnotes, not titles or headings. In the footnotes, all unusual abbreviations should be explained. For the footnotes the following symbols should be used, following the same order presented: *, †, ‡, §, || , **, †, ‡. Dispersion statistical measures, such as standard deviation or standard error of the mean, should be properly identified.

 The authors must ensure that each table appears zca conveniently referred to in the text Capitalized (Table 1). If data from other sources, published or not, are presented in the tables, the corresponding permits must be obtained and the sources in question should be publicly acknowledged.

 In these cases, the necessary relevant information will be added to the text. These tables should be sent to the journal along with the manuscript for availability in the external review process by experts.

ILLUSTRATIONS (FIGURES)

Figures must be prepared and photographed with professional quality, or send digital reproductions of photographic quality. In addition to requiring versions of the figures suitable for printing, some journals also ask the authors for the corresponding electronic files in a format that allows the reproduction of high quality images in the electronic version of the journal (for example, JPEG or GIF). Authors should check these images on the computer and verify that they meet the necessary quality requirements.

In the case of radiographs, ultrasound or other diagnostic imaging techniques, as well as photographs of pathological specimens or photomicrographs, photographic reproductions in black and white or color, crisp and satin, should be used, generally of size 127 × 173 mm. L as letters, numbers and symbols included in the figures should be clear, uniform, and each character enough to remain legible in the reduced size version of the article. The figures should be explanatory in themselves as much as possible, since many will be reproduced directly as slides for scientific presentations. However, titles and detailed explanations should be included in the legends, not in the body of the figures.

Photomicrographs must contain scale markers. The symbols, arrows or letters included in the photomicrographs should be clearly highlighted on the background.

If photographs of people are used, they must not be identifiable, or they must be accompanied by the corresponding written authorization that allows their use. Whenever possible, specific permission should be obtained for the publication of these materials.

The figures should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first cited in the text. If a previously published figure is used, the original source must be identified and the written authorization of the copyright owner to reproduce the material must be submitted with the manuscript. Unless it is a public domain document, this authorization is necessary regardless of who the authors or the publishing company are.

Legends of illustrations (figures)

The legends should appear at the bottom, with Arabic numerals and initial capital letters (Figure 1) according to the order of the illustration. When symbols, arrows, numbers or letters are used to identify parts of the figure, the meaning of all of them in the legend must be clearly identified and explained. The internal scale of the image must also be explained. The staining method used must be described in the photomicrographs.

Measurement units

Metric units (meters, kilograms or liters) or their decimal multiples must be used for length, height, weight and volume measurements.

The temperature must be expressed in degrees Celsius. Blood pressure should be measured in millimeters of mercury.

The units used for hematological measurements, clinical biochemistry or others, will be the units of the International System (SI) regulated in the country. SI or mass units may be used for drug concentrations, but whenever appropriate, alternative units will also be presented in parentheses.

Abbreviations and symbols

Only common abbreviations should be used; The use of unusual abbreviations can be extremely confusing for readers. The first time an abbreviation appears in the text, it must be preceded by the full term to which it refers, except in the case of common units of measurement.

 Other aspects :

The presentation of your proposal for publication must have adequate quality in terms of writing and spelling, and comply with the ethical principles of research.

Items that do not meet these conditions will be rejected immediately .
