Sections

Original studies

The journal takes manuscripts, containing the results of international and local investigations in various fields of medicine. The editorial board will take for publication only manuscripts of original scientific studies, which were carried out according to international principles of biomedical ethics and deontology.

 In accordance with ethic policy, the editorial board asks authors to indicate the source of financing their work (preparation of investigations, writing and publishing of manuscript etc.) and to declare  obvious and potential conflict of interests.

Please, pay attention that the presence of obvious or potential conflict of interests (including financial   interest of authors) or confession to any organization (state or private) to research performed is not the reason to reject the manuscript.

Original research should be designed in accordance with the IMRAD format.

The editorial board strongly recommends observing the following standards for the presentation of their scientific research, depending on its type:

  • parallel group randomized trialsCONSORT standard;
  • observational studies – STROBE standard;
  • clinical trials – SPIRIT standard;
  • diagnostic accuracy studies – STARD standard;
  • clinical case reporting – CARE standard;
  • clinical practice guidelines – AGREE standard;
  • qualitative research – SRQR standard;
  • preclinical animal studies – ARRIVE standard;
  • quality improvement reporting SQUIRE standard;
  • health economic evaluation reporting – CHEERS

All clinical and preclinical studies must be approved by the ethics committee.

All studies involving vulnerable populations should be conducted in accordance with international ethical principles.

The conclusion of the ethics committee is obligatory if any biomaterials were collected.

The editorial board has the right to request from the authors a copy of the conclusion of the ethics committee. Researchers must obtain voluntary informed consent from patients or their legal representatives to participate in the study.

Consent form-must be approved by the ethics committee.

Full information is presented in the Ethical Code of the "Eco-Vector" publishing house.

Review of literature

The journal greets manuscripts with the results of studies involving human beings and the results of experimental studies in vitro and animal investigations.

 

The editorial board will take for publication only manuscripts of clinical and experimental studies, which were carried out according to international principles of biomedical ethics and deontology.

 

The editorial board asks authors to inform that the research presented was conducted in accordance with international standards GCP: voluntary signing of informed consent  by all the participants; approval of research protocol by local ethic committee (name of ethic committee, date of meeting and protocol number, which are to be indicated in manuscript) etc.

Detailed protocol of investigation should be presented in the manuscript. Authors should present all the necessary protocol details. In case of meta-analysis, authors should describe in details the procedure of searching information: name of database, filters and keywords as well as any additional search settings to collect primary sources.

Papers on new methods of diagnosis and equipment in different fields of medicine.

Preventive and social medicine

The journal publishes manuscripts on modern methods of preventing diseases.

Clinical case

The journal publishes manuscripts with description of clinical cases and discussion regarding managing such patients.

At the meeting of the editorial board the submitted manuscripts are handed to one of its members to carry out preliminary expert estimation and recommendation of possible reviewers from among the scientists with recognized authority within the framework of the corresponding area of knowledge and having publications on the subject of the paper intended for publishing during the last three years.
At the next meeting of the editorial board the paper is discussed and either accepted for consideration or rejected.
One of the members of the editorial board of Perm Medical Journal, having scientific specialization most close to the subject of the paper, carries out reviewing. Editorial board has the right to engage external reviewers (MD or PhD including practicing specialists with recognized authority and working in the sphere of knowledge connected with the content of manuscript).
The author or coauthor of the reviewed manuscript as well as scientific advisers of competitors for academic degree and personnel of the department, where the author works, cannot be a reviewer. If the editorial board has no possibility to engage a specialist of the proper level in the area of knowledge related to the manuscript content, the executive secretary offers external review. At author’s discretion, external review can be presented when submitting the manuscript that, however, does not exclude a common procedure of reviewing.
Paper is delivered to reviewer without any information about the authors. Review must present objective estimation of paper and contain fundamental analysis of its scientific and methodical advantages and drawbacks. Review is presented in the standard form offered by the editorial board or in the free form with obligatory description of the following aspects (appendix 1).
Review must include conclusions on the paper as a whole and a clear recommendation concerning expediency or inexpediency of its publishing in the journal or its revision followed by repeated submission.

Review is discussed by the editorial board members and is a ground for adopting or rejecting manuscripts.
If the manuscript does not satisfy one or more criteria, reviewer indicates in the review the necessity to revise the paper and gives recommendations (with author’s inaccuracies and errors) for perfection of manuscript. The editorial board informs the author on the results of review.
After updating and revising, the manuscript is sent to the editorial board for repeated review by the same reviewer or the other one chosen by the members of the editorial board. In this case, the delivery date is the date of repeated registration of revised paper.
In case of conflict situation, review is presented to the author without any information about the reviewer. When the author does not agree with reviewer’s comments, he (she) can apply for repeated review or can withdraw a manuscript making notes in the registration book.
When rejecting the paper, the editorial board affords the author a motivated refusal during three days after making a decision on rejection.
The paper, which was not recommended by the reviewer for publication, can not be submitted repeatedly.
Manuscripts are not returned. The editorial board is not responsible for reliability of clinical studies presented by the authors.
Reviewers are not allowed to copy manuscripts for their own needs and are prohibited to give a part of manuscript for reviewing to another person without editor’s permission.
Maximum term for manuscript reviewing is not more than 3 months from the registration date.
To publish graduate students’ papers, the editorial board should receive additional recommendation presented by profile department that, however, does not exclude the accepted procedure for reviewing.

After agreeing on all changes with the scientific editor, the authors will have to upload the final version of the manuscript to their personal account on the website (Word file).

At the next stage, the manuscript will be handed over to the layout editor to create an electronic layout of the article.

This file (proofreading) will be sent to the authors in pdf format for final approval.

 

Manuscript withdrawal

Authors can withdraw their manuscript at any stage of consideration and preparation for publication (including in electronic form on the website in Online First mode).
