Instructions for Authors

About the Journal

Medicine® is an open access publication, providing authors with continuous publication of original research across a broad spectrum of medical scientific disciplines and sub-specialties. The Medicine® review process emphasizes the scientific, technical and ethical validity of submissions. Novelty or potential for impact are not considered during the manuscript's evaluation or adjudication.

Open Access

Open access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access via online to peer-reviewed scholarly research. Open access journals provide 'gold' open access, meaning immediate open access to all their articles on the publisher's website. 'Gold' open access for individual articles is funded by authors (or their author's institution or funders) who pay an open access publishing fee (APC).

The APC for Medicine® is $1650 (USD) for the Creative Commons 4.0 International license for Original Studies published under the and the CCBY-NC license and $1950 for Original Studies published under the CCBY license. The APC for Case Reports and Study Protocols is $1950 and will be published under the CCBY license.

Medicine offers full or partial equitable waivers for accepted articles from low-income and middle-income economies. Eligibility is based on the Research4Life eligibility criteria. Countries listed in Group A are eligible for the full waiver and countries listed in Group B are eligible for the partial (50%) waiver. The waiver is automatically applied based on the Corresponding Author's country information provided during submission.

To determine your eligibility, visit the Research4Life criteria page at https://www.research4life.org/access/criteria/

Editorial and Publishing Policies

Plagiarism

As defined by the World Association of Medical Editors (http://www.wame.org/resources/publication-ethics-policies-for-medical-journals):

Plagiarism is the use of others' published and unpublished ideas or words (or other intellectual property) without attribution or permission, and presenting them as new and original rather than derived from an existing source. The intent and effect of plagiarism is to mislead the reader as to the contributions of the plagiarizer. This applies whether the ideas or words are taken from abstracts, research grant applications, Institutional Review Board applications, or unpublished or published manuscripts in any publication format (print or electronic).

Medicine® is a member of CrossCheck by CrossRef and iThenticate. iThenticate is a plagiarism screening service that verifies the originality of content submitted before publication. iThenticate checks submissions against millions of published research papers, and billions of web content. Authors, researchers and freelancers can also use iThenticate to screen their work before submission by visiting http://www.ithenticate.com.

Plagiarism is scientific misconduct and will be addressed as such. When plagiarism is detected at any time before publication, the Medicine® editorial office will take appropriate action as directed by the standards set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). For additional information, please visit http://www.publicationethics.org.

Ethical Experimentation

The report of any research involving human beings or experimental subjects must be accompanied by a statement to be included in the Additional Information section of the submission process, indicating the mechanism used for reviewing the ethics of the research conducted.

Non-native Speakers of English

Authors who are not native speakers of English who submit manuscripts to international journals often receive negative comments from referees or editors about the English–language usage in their manuscripts, and these problems can contribute to a decision to reject a paper. To help reduce the possibility of such problems, we strongly encourage such authors consider using Wolters Kluwer Author Services***.

Wolters Kluwer Author Services

Wolters Kluwer, in partnership with Editage, offers a unique range of editorial services to help you prepare a submission-ready manuscript. For more information regarding Wolters Kluwer Author Services, please visit http://wkauthorservices.editage.com.

***Note that the use of such a service is at the author's own expense and risk and does not guarantee that the article will be accepted.

Statistical Analysis

For manuscripts that report statistics, the Editor requires that the authors provide evidence of statistical consultation (or at least expertise) by either the inclusion of a statistician/epidemiologist among the authors, or in the acknowledgements; a biostatistician may review such manuscripts during the review process.

In the Methods section:

Identify the statistical tests used to analyze the data.

Indicate the prospectively determined P value that was taken to indicate a significant difference.

Cite only textbook and published article references to support your choices of tests.

Identify any statistics software used. (List software name, version, and company in parentheses in the text, not in the reference list.)

In the Results section:

Note that following the American Medical Association style manual (AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors, 10th Edition. New York: Oxford University Press; 2007, page 889), the Journal does not use a zero to the left of the decimal point, because "…statistically it is not possible to prove or disprove the null hypothesis completely when only a sample of the population is tested (P cannot equal 0 or 1, except by rounding)."

Report actual P values rather than thresholds: not just whether the P value was above or below the significant-difference threshold. Example: write "P = .18", not "P > .05" or "P = NS."

P should be expressed to 2 digits for P ≥ .01, because expressing P to more than 3 digits does not add useful information. If P < .001, it should be expressed as P < .001, rather than P < .0001 or P = .00001 for example. In certain types of studies, it may be important to express P values to more significant digits. Please consult the AMA Manual of Style for further direction.

If P > .99, P = .999 for example, it should be expressed as P > .99.

Statement of Non-duplication

During the Additional Information section of the submission process, all authors must certify that their manuscript is a unique submission and is not being considered for publication by any other source in any medium. Further, the manuscript has not been published, in part or in full, in any form. Work published or presented as an abstract at a professional meeting will be considered.

Translations

Some previously published translated work may be considered for publication in Medicine®.

Authors must receive approval from the original publication and Medicine® for the translated article to be published.

Authors should indicate in the article that it is a translated article and cite the primary reference.

The translated article should be intended for different group of readers than the primary publication.

Ownership/Permissions

All figures submitted must be owned solely by the author(s). For Figures not meeting this requirement, authors must obtain permission for the use of the figure by Medicine®. Obtaining this permission is the sole responsibility of the author(s). Credit must be included in the figure legend for all figures being printed with permission.

These requirements apply to the following materials:

Previously published materials such as figures and adapted tables or direct quotations of more than 50 words; these require permission from copyright holder (usually the original publisher).

Unpublished data (i.e., from a personal conversation or a manuscript in preparation); these require permission from the appropriate investigator.

Photographs revealing unmasked faces; these require permission from the subject(s) of the photograph.

Product Information

Medications, materials, and devices must be identified by full nonproprietary name as well as brand name if appropriate and the manufacturer's name. Place this information in parentheses in the text, not in a footnote.

Funding Sources

Corresponding Authors are responsible for identifying and declaring all funding sources received for the research submitted to the journal. During submission, Corresponding Authors will also be asked to provide the Funder, Award Number and Grant Recipient. If there are no funders to be identified the corresponding author must state "Funding information is not available." Funding information will be entered during the submission stage and will be included in the final publication.

The Corresponding Author is responsible to completing this on behalf of all authors on the research submitted to the journal and should ensure complete accuracy.

Conflict of Interest

Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal are required to identify any financial interests or affiliations with institutions, organizations, or companies that are mentioned in the manuscript or whose products and services are mentioned in the manuscript, and also any competing interest that could be perceived as a bias in the work. Conflicts of interest can be defined as financial and non-financial in relation to the work.

Authors should disclose any interactions that could be perceived as potential conflicts of interest. This includes grants pertaining to the work and outside of the work that could be perceived as conflicts, revenue paid to the author in relation to the work submitted, payments from a government agency, payments from a pharmaceutical or drug company, personal conflict of interest related to the content of the manuscript, relationships and activities that may have influenced the work, or anything related.

Corresponding authors are responsible for filling this section out for all authors listed on the manuscript. If the corresponding or co-authors does not have a financial or personal conflict of interest relevant to the content of this manuscript, please enter 'the author(s) of this work have nothing to disclose'.

For example:

Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding: A has received honoraria from Company Z. B is currently receiving a grant (#12345) from Organization Y, and is on the speaker's bureau for Organization X – the CME organizers for Company A. For the remaining authors none were declared.

Patient Consent

As per the CARE guidelines, the patient or guardian must provide a written informed consent for inclusion of their clinical and imaging details in the manuscript for the purpose of publication. The submitted manuscript needs to contain a statement that informed consent was obtained from the patient for the purpose of publication. If the patient is deceased, the authors must seek permission from the patient's relatives which must be stated in the submitted manuscript. In cases where permission could not be obtained from the patient or the relatives, the head of the medical team or the institutional review board must take responsibility for the anonymization of the patient and this must be stated in the submitted manuscript. If the informed consent has been waivered by the IRB, the same must be included in the manuscript.

Medicine® provides a patient consent form on the Editorial Manager home page under 'Files and Resources.' Forms signed in a language other than English require a translated form.
