When sending an article to the editor, it is recommended to follow the following rules, drawn up taking into account the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals", developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
The journal publishes only the results of studies conducted in compliance with the norms of biomedical ethics and meeting the standards of GCP (Good Clinical Practice).
When sending a manuscript to the editor for the first time, all authors of this article must be indicated in a copy of the e-mail. Feedback from the editorial office will be supported by the responsible author, indicated in the article (see paragraph 2 below).
Submission to the editorial office of previously published (in whole or in part) articles and articles already considered for publication in another journal are not allowed.
All articles including those prepared by postgraduate students and applicants for the degree of candidate of sciences based on the results of their own research are accepted for publication on a first-come, first-served basis.
Articles that do not meet the requirements of the editors are not accepted for consideration.
All incoming scientific articles are reviewed.
The editors reserve the right to edit articles submitted for publication.
The first page of the file with the article should contain in Russian and English:
• article title;
• initials and surnames of all authors;
• place of work of each of the authors (full address of the institution with an index);
• e-mail address of authors.
• the heading of the journal in which the authors would like to publish the article. The final decision on the heading is reserved by the editors.
The last page should contain:
1) information about the author responsible for communication with the editorial office:
• surname, name, patronymic in full;
• position held;
• academic degree, academic title;
• personal international identifier ORCID (for more details: http://orcid.org/);
• personal identifier in the RSCI (for more details: http://elibrary.ru/projects/science_index/author_tutorial.asp);
• contact number.
2) information about each of the other authors of the article:
• surname, name, patronymic in full;
• position held;
• academic degree, academic title;
• ORCID (if any);
• E-mail address.
Articles are accepted in DOC, DOCX, RTF formats. Font - Times New Roman, size 14, line spacing 1.5. All pages must be numbered.
For emphasis in the text, use italics, not underline (except for Internet addresses).
Original article is no more than 12 pages (larger volume is allowed on an individual basis, by the decision of the editorial board). Description of clinical cases is no more than 8 pages. Literature review is no more than 20 pages. Brief messages and letters to the editor are 3 pages.
The abstract of the article is provided to the editor in Russian and English. Annotation performs the following functions:
- makes it possible to establish the main content of the article, determine its relevance and decide whether to refer to the full text of the article;
- provides information about the article and eliminates the need to read the full text of the article in the event;
- is used in information systems, including automated systems for searching for articles and information.
The abstract should be:
- informative (do not contain general words);
- original;
- meaningful (reflect the main content of the article and research results);
- structured (follow the logic of describing the results in the article);
- compact (volume from 150 to 250 words).
Important! Annotations in English in a Russian-language edition are main and, as a rule, the only source of information about the content of the article and the presented research results for foreign scientists and specialists .
Foreign experts in annotation evaluate the publication, determine their interest in the author's work, can use it in their publication and make a link to it, open a discussion with the author, request the full text, etc. An annotation in English for a Russian-language article may be larger than an annotation in Russian, since the Russian-language annotation is followed by a full text in the same language.
Key words for the article are provided to the editor in Russian and English. There should be no more than 10 keywords. Only generally accepted abbreviations can be used.
Keywords should clearly indicate the main content of the article. General concepts such as “system” should be avoided as keywords, since a keyword search will not lead the reader to find the information of interest. In some cases, a keyword can be a phrase, but by no means a short sentence
The original article should contain the following sections:
In addition, according to Scopus and PubMed rules, an article must contain:
The above data should be given after the list of references.
Introduction. A brief overview of the state of the issue, the reason for the need for the study, its purpose.
Materials and methods. A detailed presentation of all aspects of the study design: criteria for inclusion and exclusion of patients, main and additional assessed parameters, research methods, equipment used, methods and principles of distribution into groups, methods of statistical analysis. The described research methods should ensure that the results can be reproduced. When listing the equipment used, the manufacturer and country are indicated in parentheses; when listing drugs and chemicals used in the course of work - their international non-proprietary (generally accepted) names, doses, routes of administration.
If the study requires it, indicate which ethics committee has approved it (cite its conclusion, indicating the document number, the date of its signing and the official name of the ethical committee), the fact that the subjects signed their informed consent, or the fact of compliance with the rules of bioethics (rights of laboratory animals).
Results. Should be presented in a logical sequence reflecting the data of the research described above, without references to literary sources. The results are presented clearly, in the form of short descriptions with references to graphs, tables and figures. It is preferable to start the section with a graph showing the selection of patients for analysis ("patient flow chart") to explain the formation of the study group.
Discussion. Highlighting new and important aspects based on the results of the study, analyzing possible mechanisms or interpreting the results obtained, comparing our own results with the data of other researchers. It is possible to include sound recommendations for clinical practice and use the findings in future studies. The section should end with a statement of the strengths and weaknesses of the research carried out in comparison with existing analogues. You should avoid repeating information from the "Introduction" section and listing details from the "Results" section.
Conclusion. Should be short and concise. Summing up the work done and the authors' hypothesis about the significance of the data obtained in the framework of pathogenesis, treatment, diagnosis; prospects of using the obtained data.
6.2.1. Authorship and contributions
In accordance with the recommendations of the ICMJE, only those persons who have made a significant contribution to the concept and design of the study or to the collection, analysis and interpretation of data, actively participated in the preparation of the text of the article or make fundamental changes, participated in the final approval of the version of the article, have the right to be called an author, submitted to the press, and agree to accept responsibility for the content of the article.
The first in the list of authors should be the head of the research team who took the greatest part in the work and preparation of the manuscript. He should also be responsible for communication with the editorial board and readers (after the publication of the article). When approving the final version of the article for publication, he must make sure that the co-authors have seen and approved it.
The mere provision of funding, the provision of laboratory materials and instruments, technical editing of the manuscript, scientific advice, or general direction of the research team do not justify inclusion in the composition of the author group.
All members of the research team who do not meet the criteria for authorship, but who have assisted in the work and writing of the article, should be listed with their consent in the "Acknowledgments" section with an indication of their participation. For example:
Acknowledgments

Rules for the design of cited references (References and References)
These rules for the design of bibliography (cited references) are based on the requirements of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, http://www.icmje.org/), as well as the Rules for submitting journals to the Russian Science Citation Index ( RSCI, https://elibrary.ru) and the requirements of the Higher Attestation Commission (VAK, http://vak.ed.gov.ru/).
1. In the text of the manuscript, references to sources are made out by inserting Arabic numbers in square brackets into the text; use normal font style (same as for surrounding text) and DO NOT highlight links (italic, bold, or underlined) or upper or lower case.
2. In the case when several sources in the list of references correspond to one statement, the numbers should be separated by commas WITHOUT SPACES.
Example: [3,4].
3. In the case when it is necessary to cite more than 2 sources at once, following one after another in the list of references, the references should be combined into a range.
Example: [15-17].
4. It is not recommended to use more than three references per statement. Exceptions are possible only in cases where it is of high importance for the presentation of the material.
1. The number of lists. In accordance with the requirements of domestic and international databases, in order to ensure a high-quality and accurate assessment of the citation of scientific works in manuscripts, it is necessary to bring TWO LISTS OF REFERENCES to the sources of information used in the work - "References" (in author's native language) and "References" (in English).
2. Number of sources. The number of references to primary sources should be limited. The recommended number of cited works: in articles on original research and in the description of clinical cases - up to 20 sources, in reviews and discussions - up to 40. If objectively necessary, this number can be increased by agreement with the editor.
3. Type of sources. Citation of any primary sources is allowed, except for unpublished works. It is also not recommended to refer to dissertations and abstracts of dissertations - in such cases, it is preferable to refer to articles published on this material.
4. Order of presentation of sources. Numbered References and References are given at the end of the manuscript and are arranged sequentially one after the other under the appropriate headings: "References" and "References", respectively. In the Bibliography and References, all works are listed IN ORDER OF Citation, NOT in alphabetical order.
5. Differences between lists. In the List of Literature and References, the same sources are indicated, in the same sequence and under the same numbering. Differences in the design of references in the References and References are detailed below.
6. The amount and sequence of information in the links:
for books - the surname and initials of the author (s), the full title of the book, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, volume or issue;
for articles in periodicals - the surname and initials of the author (s), the title of the article, the full name of the journal (collection), the year of publication (for the collection - also the place of publication and publishing house), volume, number (issue), the first and last pages of the article ;
for articles in non-periodical publications (books) - the surname and initials of the author (s), the title of the article, the full title of the book (collection), place of publication, publisher, year of publication, the first and last pages of the article;
for abstracts and texts of reports at conferences (seminars, symposia) - surname and initials of the author (s), title of the report, full title of the collection of abstracts or conference proceedings, date and place of the conference, volume, number (issue), first and last pages theses or text of the report;
for patents and copyright certificates - the type of patent document, its number, name of the country that issued the document, ICI index, title of the invention, author (s), application filing date, publication date and information about the official publication where information about the patent document is published, information about priority;
for deposited manuscripts - the surname and initials of the author, the full title of the manuscript, the name of the organization, the year of publication, the total number of pages, the place of deposit;
for dissertations - the surname and initials of the author, full name, place and year of defense, specialty code, dates of defense and approval, place of defense;
for electronic publications - the surname and initials of the author (if any), the title of the publication, the name of the resource (if any), the email address (URL), the date of access.
7. Number of authors. All authors should be presented in the bibliographic description of the source, if their number is from one to three. If the publication has more than 3 authors, then after the 3rd author it is necessary to put the abbreviation ", etc." or ", et al." (Attention! The comma separating the name of the last author and “et al.” or “et al.” is required).
8. Names and abbreviations. It is unacceptable to shorten (or otherwise change) the titles of articles and titles of journals. Exception: the names of English-language journals can be given in an OFFICIAL (!) Abbreviation (in the List of Literature abbreviations of the name of the journal with a dot, in References - without a dot). You can use the MedLine Database Names Catalog (NLM Catalog), the CAS Source Index, the WorldCat Library, or the Web of Science (ISI) to find the correct journal abbreviation. If it is not possible to find the official abbreviation of the name of the journal, it is necessary to indicate its full name.
9. DOI. In all cases where the cited material has a Digital Object Identifier (doi), it must be indicated at the very end of the source description. To check for doi at the source, visit http://search.crossref.org/ or https://www.citethisforme.com. To get doi, you need to enter the name of the source in English into the search box. The latter site, in addition to doi, automatically generates a well-formed bibliographic description of the article in English in the AMA (Vancouver) citation style. The vast majority of foreign journal articles since 2000 and many Russian-language articles (published after 2013) are registered in the CrossRef system and have a unique doi.
1. Output data. Bibliographic descriptions of references to sources in the List of References should be drawn up in accordance with GOST R 7.0.5-2008. Dash separators are omitted in the description. All authors (if their number is from one to three) or (if there are more than three authors) the first three authors + ", etc." (for Russian-language sources) or + ", et al." (for English-language sources) are listed before the title of the publication. The full record format should be used to describe the publication date, volume and issue of the periodical and the electronic pages on which the source of the link is published (see examples below).
2. Punctuation.
When specifying the names of the authors, the initials should be placed after the surname.
After the initials, a period is put, the surname is separated from the initials by a space.
Authors should be separated from each other with a comma and a space.
The title of the publication should be separated from the rest of the reference by a period, except for references to articles in scientific journals.
In references to articles in scientific journals, one of the punctuation symbols prescribed in accordance with GOST R 7.0.5-2008 - "//" should be used. They need to separate the title of the publication and the subsequent title of the publication (signs "-" are omitted from the structure of links, nothing is required to be italicized).
When specifying the date of publication, place, publisher, other imprint
punctuation should match the examples below.
3. The structure of the link (see examples of design below).
4. Language. In the List of Literature, references to sources should be given at
original language of publication (regardless of the alphabet used).
In order for the data on publications of Russian-speaking authors to be correctly presented in the world databases of abstract and analytical information about scientific research (SCOPUS, Web of Science, Google Scholar, etc.), it is necessary to observe a number of rules when presenting cited references in the Latin alphabet in the section "References".
1. Output data. Bibliographic descriptions should be in Vancouver format in the AMA version (Journal of American Medical Association style, http://www.amamanualofstyle.com). The abbreviated notation format should be used to describe the publication date, volume and issue of the periodical and the pages on which the source of the link is published (see examples below).
All authors (if their number is from one to three) or (if there are more than three authors) the first three authors + ", et al." listed before the title of the publication.
2. Punctuation.
References do not use the signs of punctuation prescribed by GOST: "//", "/", "-" - they must be replaced with commas, semicolons, colons and periods (see examples below).
When specifying the names of the authors, the initials should be placed after the surname. The initials must be written together with each other, without periods (!). The initials are separated from the surname by a space.
Separate authors with a comma.
The title of the publication should be separated from the rest of the link by a period.
In links to articles in scientific journals, the title of the journal is in italics.
In references to other sources italicized: the title of a book, collection, newspaper, dissertation, patent.
When specifying the date of publication, place, publisher, or other imprint, the punctuation should be in accordance with the examples below.
3. The structure of the link (see examples of design below).
4. Language. The list of sources in References should be written only in the Romance alphabet (while it should remain a complete analogue of the List of references, in which the sources were presented in the original language of publication). To write links to Russian-language sources (and sources in other languages that do not use the Roman alphabet), you should use OFFICIAL TRANSLATION or TRANSLITERATION.
To write links to Russian-language sources (and to other languages that do not use the Romance alphabet) in References, depending on the situation, either transliteration should be carried out (write the original non-English words in the letters of the Romance alphabet), or indicate the English translation of information about the primary sources.
If the article you are citing is written in the Latin alphabet (i.e. in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Danish and other languages using the Roman alphabet), the link to it should be given in the original publication language.
Example (Norwegian journal article in Norwegian): Ellingsen AE, Wilhelmsen I. Sykdomsangst blant medisinog jusstudenter. Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2002; 122 (8): 785-787. (in Norwegian).
If the article is written NOT in Latin - in Cyrillic (including Russian), hieroglyphs, etc., you need to provide an OFFICIAL TRANSLATION or TRANSLITERATION of the link.
A link to a source of literature in References can simultaneously consist of both transliterated elements (for example, names of authors, names of journals) and of translated ones (title of publication).
Transliteration standard. When transliterating, it is recommended to use the standard according to the BGN / PCGN standard (United States Board on Geographic Names / Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use), recommended by the international publishing house Oxford University Press, as "British Standard". To transliterate the text in accordance with the BGN standard, you can use the link http://ru.translit.ru/?account=bgn.
Name of authors, editors. The surnames and initials of all authors should be given in the References in the Latin alphabet in the same sequence as in the original publication.
If in the original publication (i.e. in the List of Literature) the names of the authors have already been given in the Latin alphabet, then this option should be indicated in References (regardless of the used transliteration system in the original source). If in official sources (on the journal's website, in databases, including in eLibrary) the names of the authors are not given in Latin, you should transliterate them yourself according to the BGN / PCGN standard (United States Board on Geographic Names / Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use), recommended by the international publishing house Oxford University Press as "British Standard". To transliterate the text in accordance with the BGN standard, you can use the link http://ru.translit.ru/?account=bgn.
The title of the publication. If the work you are citing has an official translation into English or an English version of the title (you should look for it on the journal's website, in databases, including in eLibrary), you should indicate it. If the official sources do not give the title of the publication in Latin, then the transliteration of the title should be given (transliterate it yourself according to the BGN / PCGN standard (http://ru.translit.ru/?account=bgn.). You should not translate the titles of the cited publications yourself as this could be considered a copyright infringement.
The name of the publication (magazine). Some non-English-language scientific publications (journals) have, in addition to their names in their native language, a "parallel" official name in English (for example, "Detskaja travmatologija, Ortopedija i Rekonstruktivnaja hirurgija" has the official English name "Pediatric Traumatology, Orthopedics and Reconstructive Surgery".
Thus, for the References list, in a link to an article from a Russian-language journal, either the transliterated title of the journal should be indicated, or a translated title.
The translated title of the journal can be taken either from the official website of the journal (or use the data on the correct spelling of the English-language title from the cited article), or check its presence in the database, for example, in the catalog of names of the MedLine database (NLM Catalog), CAS Source Index, WorldCat library or the Web of Science (ISI) catalog. If the journal does not have an official title in English, the References should include transliteration according to the BGN / PCGN system (http://ru.translit.ru/?account=bgn.). for example, the journal “Russian Medical and Biological Bulletin named after V.I. Academician I.P. Pavlova ”does not have an official English-language name, therefore the transliterated name“ Rossiyskiy mediko-biologicheskiy vestnik imeni akademika I.P. Pavlova"). You should not translate the names of the magazines yourself.
Place of publication. The place of publication in References should always be indicated in English (not in transliteration) and in full (without abbreviations), i.e. Moscow, not “Moskva” and not “M .:”, Saint Petersburg, not “Sankt Peterburg” or “SPb”.
Publisher / publisher name. Unlike the place of publication, the publisher's name for references in References should only be transliterated (except in the extremely rare cases that the publisher has a parallel official English-language name).
Language identifier. If the publication you cited in References is not originally English-language (i.e. if you did transliteration of the title of the publication and the name of the source to make a link in References), then at the very end of the link, after specifying the page range in parentheses, you should indicate the identifier of the language in which the original source is written. For example, for links to Russian-language sources, you should use the phrase "(in Russ)".
Desirable number of cited works: in original articles - no more than 20-25 sources, in literature reviews - no more than 60.
