Author Guidelines

PRESENTATION AND WRITING

The text sent will not have a presentation or cover page, and there will be no divisions, page breaks or sections. It will be received in Microsoft Word (*.doc, *.docx), letter size sheet, with Calibri size 12 font, 1.5 line spacing; a space between words throughout the entire article and with Normal margins (2.5 cm). It will have no layout, no pagination, indents, tabs, hyperlinks (except for online references) or any other attributes, such as header and footer, frames, etc.

A precise, clear, simple, concise, non-redundant language and an adequate order in the approach of ideas will be used. Some of our suggestions are:

  • Use the impersonal style (It was carried out, identified, concluded).
  • Proper use of capital letters, as well as gender-tense Spanish use of nouns, adjective and verbs.
  • Do not use medical jargon (blood sugar for blood glucose, etc).
  • Avoid the use of participles and gerunds (Example: -ed, -ing forms) except when it is essential.
  • Use properly the text highlighting forms (bold, italic and underlined fonts).
  • Avoid the incorrect use of prepositions, adverbs and conjunctions.
  • Avoid unnecessary lengthy sentences and excessive subordinations.

It is recommended to read the book How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper by Robert A. Day.

Abbreviations and acronyms

The use of conventional abbreviations is not free, but is limited to certain contexts and subject to certain rules. Some of them are:

  • Do not make up abbreviations. Only scientific community common domain abbreviations should be used.
  • Write the full term the first time you use it and follow it with the abbreviation between parentheses.
  • They will not be included in the title or abstract (except those explained).
  • Do not start sentences with abbreviations.
  • They have a full stop. Examples: Rev. inf. cient.; pag.; etc.
  • Spanish stressed words keep their accent on the corresponding syllable when forming the abbreviation. Example: Máximo-máx.; Número-núm.

An acronym consists of the set of initial letters of a complex expression or the combination of syllables of different words. The first time an acronym appears, it is placed between parentheses, preceded by the full name of the words it stands for.

Acronyms are written without a period between letters or at the end of them, and the letters that form it are not allowed to be spaced, split or divided; they lack plural (ER not ERs).

Acronyms may be also pronounced as one word: UNICEF, AIDS. These are written in lowercase letters and can be incorporated into the language as words from the common lexicon: Unicef, aids. They fulfill the same indications of the acronyms.

Numbers

Numbers in scientific-technical texts are preferably written in Arabic numerals, not in words.

When the figures are in the millions, numbers and words can be combined. Examples: 324 billion, 100 million.

In Spanish, decimals will be expressed using the comma (,) and not the period (.).

When numbers are written following one another, they are separated with semicolons (;) if they are decimals, and by commas (,) if all related numbers are integers. Examples: 0,125; 31,24; 12,26; 31, 49, 89.

In Spanish, integers with more than four digits are written in groups of three, from right to left, leaving a space between them. Examples: 1 000, 25 400, 862 300. Telephone numbers, pages, years and decrees are excepted.

Units of measurement

Length, height, weight and volume measurements must be provided in metric units [meter (m), kilogram (kg) or liter (L or l) or in decimal multiples or submultiples.

The time is expressed accompanied by the corresponding symbol: hours (h), minutes (min) and seconds (s). Temperatures must be expressed in degrees Celsius (°C), while blood pressure must be measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

For hematological measurements, clinical chemistry and clinical laboratory results, authors should provide measurements according to the International System of Units (SI). If the author wants to add the traditional units, they will be written between parentheses. Example: blood glucose: 5.55 mmol/L (100 mg/100 ml).

After any numeric value, symbols are always written with a space between the number and the first letter of the symbol. Examples: 69 %; 38.5 °C; 765 g; except when it comes to angles and measures of longitude or latitude.

When units with special names are accompanied by a numerical value, the corresponding symbol should be written preferably. Examples: 10 W not 10 watt; 2.8 A not 2.8 amp; 35 J no 35 Joules.

The units of measurement do not have a plural, so they must be written 10 mg not 10 mgs; 5.3 cm not 5.3 cms, and they never have a final period, except when they finish a sentence or paragraph.

Tables

They will only be used to show very meaningful results within the article. Tables will be presented with grids without any format and included in the text of the work, not in Annexes.

Each one should be titled at the top, listed consecutively in Arabic numbers and according to the order of appearance in the text. The title must be brief. Example: Table 1., followed by the title. To write Table No. 1 is to be redundant.

In case of use of abbreviations, they must be clarified in a legend in the footer of the table next to the source of the data.

Authors must fill in the blanks with a zero (0). Blanks can be interpreted as having no data or as being omitted by mistake.

If the percentages must add up to 100, make sure they add up to 100. Line up the columns of numbers under the decimal point. If the table is so long that it must continue to the next page, write Table X (X is the table number) on the next page and repeat the column headings. Express all decimals with the same scoring criteria.

The Editorial Board of Revista Información Científica will demand the use of the tables whenever it deems it necessary.

Figures

All images must be sent separately through the platform using the Supplementary Files in step 4, regardless of whether they are in the article in case they require editing work.

They must be of optimum quality for electronic publication. They will be delivered in *.jpg format, and will have a dimension no bigger than 1 024 x 768 pixels and will not exceed 500 kb.

They will be titled in the footer as follows, and numbered consecutively according to the order of appearance in the text: Fig. 1. Title (Writing No. 1 is being redundant).

If photographs of people are used, they must not be identifiable or, otherwise, the informed consent of the patient must be attached. Other ethical aspects must be ensured. Revista Información Científica approves the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.

In the event that the images were not owned, the license or copyright it holds must be taken into account and if possible, its use must reflect the source and data.

Radiographs, magnetic resonance images, computed tomography scans, sonograms and other images from diagnostic techniques should be presented in sharp, gray-toned photographs.

The legend of the images should have title or explanations, but these will not appear inside the illustrations but on the footer.

Graphics

The information should not be duplicated in tables and graphs. They must have a short descriptive title and legend, and be marked on the footer as: Graphic 1. Title (To write No. 1 is to be redundant).

The use of charts (bars, lines, pie, etc.) is preferred over that of tables with multiple entries.

They should be simple and unadorned. They will be presented in light gray and shades of gray for pie charts. RIC will assume the final design. If possible, the data will be reflected from higher to lower figures, from left to right. They will faithfully represent the facts without falsifying the data, or modifying the scales.

PRELIMINARY PARTS AND COMMON CONDITIONS

Preliminary parts

The preliminary parts are common parts of most scientific articles and show a particular disposition in these. They are:

Type of article (Section): defined by the author/s in accordance with what is expressed in the Section Policies.

Title: one of the most important parts of the work, as it will be read by the entire community. It should be carefully chosen to be short, clear and explicit, attractive but accurate. It will not exceed a 15 words maximum and it will not have an excess of prepositions. The use of subtitles, abbreviations, acronyms or jargon will not be allowed and the text in the title will be sorted in general-to-specific order, being able of expressing the content of the text and suited to be registered in national and international indexes.

Author/s: correct full names and surnames of those who made a substantial intellectual contribution and assumed responsibility for the content of the article. The names will be separated by commas and ordered according to their participation in the study, each one will have a superscript in Roman numerals linked to information below reflecting each of their non-administrative academic details (résumé), followed by institutional affiliation, province, country, email or telephone, and ORCiD.

Abstract: text that guides the reader to quickly and accurately identify the basic content of the article, and determine its relevance. It is the most commonly read part of the article by the majority of those interested, and represents a miniature version of the whole work, where each of its parts should be briefly summarized. Only structured abstracts will be accepted, with a maximum of 250 words, with the exception of Case Reports, where the informative type is allowed; reaching no more than 150 words. It must be written in an impersonal voice in past tense, except for the conclusions, that carry the verbs in the present tense. It will include objective, type of research, place and period of time it was carried out, research population and selected sample size, sampling selection technique used, how the primary data was collected, analyzed variables, statistical techniques used, how the work was carried out, what were the main findings and the most important conclusions. It must not include abbreviations, acronyms, or bibliographic annotations and its content must be intelligible without having to resort to any other text, table or chart.

Keywords: three to ten words defined by the author/ s and separated by semicolon (;). These words help indexers to classify the article for inclusion in databases, which allows the searches in broader or more specific terms or all the terms that belong to the same hierarchical structure. At least three must correspond to the title of the article.

Other common sections

The Introduction and Bibliographic references are not considered preliminary parts according to the bibliography consulted, but they constitute common parts of most scientific articles and are considered very important sections within them.

Introduction: this section must clearly identify the problem at the present time, briefly expose the most relevant works and highlight the contributions of other authors to the subject under study, justify the reasons why the research is carried out and formulate the objectives. It will only contain material related to the study. It should not contain anything that is described in other sections of the article. It should be brief but interesting to encourage the reader to go on the rest of the article, and the scientific problem must be declared. It does not have a strict word limit, but it should be as concise as possible. It will not have tables or charts, nor include results or conclusions of the work. It will be written in the present tense and must be correctly delimited.

Bibliographic references: constitutes a prominent section in a scientific work. The careful selection of relevant published documents is an element that solidifies the theoretical exposition of the text, at the same time that it constitutes an important source of information for the reader.

As previously stated, Revista Información Científica complies with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals of the ICMJE, which is why it follows the Vancouver reference style.

75% of the references must be updated, considering update-valid range the last five years for magazines articles and ten years for books. More detailed information about this in section 5.0.

Acknowledgments, Declaration of conflict of interest and Authors contributions may or may not appear in any of the types of articles allowed to be published in Revista Información Científica.

Acknowledgments: it is an optional section where the institutions that supported the research and the people who collaborated intellectually with it can be cited, if their participation does not justify being included on the authorship. These persons and institutions must agree to be named by the authors. The section must be written in the first person (plural or singular), they can be personal (to Dr. ..., from the university ...) or collective (to the Hospital Surgery service ...). It must state what they did to deserve the mention. Acknowledgments are short, and adjectives as immense, invaluable, decisive should be avoided.

Declaration of conflict of interest: the authors must report the presence or absence of conflicts of interest related to the research presented. There is a conflict of interest when an author, reviewer or editor (or the institution to which they belong), presents personal or financial relationships that may interfere or influence their judgments in relation to the preparation, evaluation or publication of a manuscript. The most common conflicts are financial, but more subtle ones such as academic rivalry or intellectual passion can be observed. This information must also be reflected in the corresponding box of the metadata of all authors.

Authors contribution: mandatory section for all articles except Editorials, Letters to the Editor and Obituaries. It must be written using the CRediT Taxonomy, providing transparency and delimiting contributions in percentages.


STRUCTURE AND REQUIREMENTS ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF ARTICLE

Editorial

It will consist of Title, Text (in italics), Signature of the author with his highest curricular level and Bibliographic references (3 top), if any.

Its length should not be more than 1,000 words. It will not present charts, images or tables, except in justified exceptions.

Declaration of conflict of interest: mandatory.

Authors contribution: optional.

Letter to the Editor

It will consist of Title (it has the concession of being striking, using questions and exclamations), Name of the addressee with the position he or she occupies in the Editorial Board, Text and Signature of the author with his highest curricular level and no more than five Bibliographic references if they were precise.

Declaration of conflict of interest: mandatory.

Authors contribution: optional.

It will consist of no more than 1,000 words. I could have a table or chart, and up to 3 authors.

Original Article and Pedagogical Work

It will include in its structure: Preliminary parts (Type of article, Title, Author/s, structured Abstract, Keywords), Introduction, followed by:

Method: it must be clearly written, and provide information so that another researcher can replicate the study. It must describe the general design of the research, define the population and the sample, as well as the techniques and methods used, the variables studied, the terms and the statistical analyses. When unknown methods are used, in addition to offering complete information about them, the reasons, advantages and disadvantages of their use will be explained. It is entirely descriptive and is written in the past tense. It is not bibliographically limited unless the method or procedure has already been carried out. Avoid using ambiguous terms, such as: ‘frequently’, ‘regularly’, or ‘periodically’. It does not reflect results. It does not mention patient names or trade names. Formulas and statistical analyses are not explained.

Results: the results report, do not interpret the observations. They must be presented written in the past tense and following a logical sequence in the text. It is the core section of the article and represents the new knowledge that is provided. Text is generally the fastest and most efficient way to present little data, tables are ideal for presenting accurate, repeatable, representative data that indicate change, and graphs are ideal for presenting data that exhibits significant trends or patterns. A good text does not need tables or graphs; these are used to reinforce the information, not to duplicate it.

Discussion: corresponds to the way in which the results are interpreted by the researcher, both in light of the hypothesis raised, as well as what other authors say or have found on the subject. Each result must be discussed one by one in the same order of presentation. The discussion should refer to the new and important aspects of the research, compare and contrast the results obtained with those of other relevant studies, state the limitations of the study and finally, comment on the implications of the study for future research and for practice. The author must express in a few words, clearly and in past tense, his version of what his research has contributed.

Conclusions: they must be derived from the work itself (occasionally, certain statements that are correct but that do not emerge from the work carried out are recorded as such), and they must not repeat the results achieved, but rather be genuine elaborations that synthesize what can be clearly obtained as a result of the work done. It answers the research question posed in the introduction and the questions that led to the completion of the work. This section is written in the present tense.

Recommendations: can have them or not.

Acknowledgments: optional.

Bibliographic references: from 12 to 15 of them will be accepted. They will be sorted according to the order of appearance in Arabic numbers, always using superscript and between parentheses.

Declaration of conflict of interest: mandatory.

Authors contribution: mandatory.

Just one appendix or complementary material will be allowed in the Annex section if its use is required.

It will have a maximum length of 4,500 words and no more than 5 authors. It will be accepted up to 5 tables and/or graphs.

Case Report

One or more clinical cases can be described in the same article. It will be structured as follows: Preliminary parts (Type of article, Title, Author/s, informative Abstract, Keywords), Introduction, and below:

Presentation of the case(s): it narrates the diagnostic process of the patient in a clear and simple way, taking care of the narrative logical sequence, describing the clinical manifestations and surgical procedures, the results of the complementary studies and the necropsy (in case of death).

Discussion of the case(s): should focus on the specific message of the case and the clinical-surgical-diagnostic and therapeutic importance. If the author has found other cases, these can be mentioned and illustrated, but not described in detail.

Final considerations: reflected at the end of the discussion, or developed in a separate section. It highlights the recommendations for the management of similar patients or the different lines of research that could originate from this case. The conclusion must be cautious as it is not possible to recommend treatments or extrapolate conclusions from only one particular case.

Acknowledgments: optional.

Bibliographic references: 10 to 12 references. They will be sorted according to the order of appearance in Arabic numbers, always using superscript and between parentheses.

Declaration of conflict of interest: mandatory.

Authors contribution: mandatory.

Reports with a maximum of 3,000 words, 3 authors and up to 5 figures will be accepted.

Bibliographic Review and Historical Article

It will consist of: Preliminary parts (Type of article, Title, Author/s, structured Abstract, Keywords), Introduction, and below:

Development: text organized with all the information collected in the review, where the basic coherence guidelines must be followed, and it can consist of sub-headings or subtitles if the author so wishes. It is not only a passive review, the authors will present the subject reviewed critically, will express their own criteria of their practical experience and will contribute something more than what everyone could obtain by reading what has been previously published.

Conclusions: final considerations of the author/s about the timeliness of the review.

 Acknowledgments: optional.

Bibliographic references: from 25 to 50 references in bibliographic reviews, and from 15 to 20 in historical articles. They will be sorted according to the order of appearance in Arabic numbers, always using superscript and between parentheses.

Declaration of conflict of interest: mandatory.

Just one appendix or complementary material will be allowed in the Annex section if its use is required.

Up to 5,000 words will be accepted without including bibliographic references and 4 authors for both types of article. No more than 3 charts, tables and/or graphs for bibliographic reviews, and up to 6 for historical articles.

Obituary

The text will be sent with a photo of the deceased person. It will have a Title, Author/s, and will not have an Abstract; an Introduction may or may not be reflected, and body of the text. If necessary, only 3 references and graphs to use.

Declaration of conflict of interest: mandatory.

MORE ABOUT BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES

The RIC Editorial Board suggests to authors to prioritize citations of scientific articles from national or international scientific journals updated online, from databases or from the journal's website.

Abstracts, personal communications, thesis or other texts that may not be available to the reader's access should be avoided as references; in such case, they will be mentioned in the text of the article without limiting.

Citations from “dubious” sites or magazines will not be accepted.

It is recommended not to cite journals translated into Spanish. It is advisable to retrieve the citation from the original version, as it is easier to locate an original journal than a translated version.

Careful attention must be paid to the correct spelling of proper names and foreign terms, as well as the completion of the reference data.

Once the references section is complete, the author must ensure the order and correspondence of the citations in the text with the number assigned on the list.

The national and international abbreviations of the journal titles can be consulted at ISSN Portal and National Library of Medicine (NLM).

Example of the most used references:

Complete book: Author/s. Title of the book. Edition. Publishing place and house; year.

Ex: Brocklehurst J. Geriatría. 6a ed. Madrid: Editorial Salvat; 2007.

Book chapter: Author/s of the chapter. Chapter title. In: Director/Coordinator/Editor of the book. Title of the book. Edition. Publishing place and house; year. initial-final page of the chapter.
