Recommendations on Publication Ethics Policies for Authors

The purpose of a policy on ethical principles
Our journal aspire to select, through peer review, the highest quality science. To achieve this, the entire peer review and publication process must be thorough, objective, and fair. Almost every aspect of this process involves important ethical principles and decisions, which are seldom explicitly stated and even less often shared with the readership. Our Journals' reputations depend on the trust of readers, authors, researchers, reviewers, editors, patients, research subjects, funding agencies, and administrators of public health policy.

Our policy on publication ethics is following the WAME Publication Ethics Committee https://wame.org/recommendations-on-publication-ethics-policies-for-medical-journals

Preparing the manuscript text

Style and language
Vejovis Journal accepts manuscripts written only in English. Spelling should either be US English or British English, but not a mixture.

There is no limit on the length of articles submitted, but authors are encouraged to be concise. There is also no restriction on the number of figures, tables or additional files that can be included with each article.

Manuscripts for articles submitted to Vejovis Journal will have an unique ISBN and this should follow the ICMJE (http://icmje.org) uniform requirement for manuscript submitted to biomedical journals and follow standard IMRAD format.

Introduction
The Introduction section must clearly state and illustrate the background to the research (why?) and its aims and objectives, in a way that is interpretable to researchers without specialist knowledge. It is recommended to include the review of literature here to indicate why this study was necessary and what it aimed to contribute to the field. The section should end with a brief statement of what is being reported in the article.
It is recommended that this section may also be broken into subsections with short, informative headings.

The methods section should include the design of the study, the setting, the type of participants or materials involved, a clear description of all interventions and comparisons, and the type of analysis used, including a sample size and power calculation if appropriate.
For studies involving animal or human participants a statement detailing ethical approval and consent should be included in the methods section.

Results
In this section report the results of your study. Results of statistical analysis should include, where appropriate, relative and absolute risks or risk reductions, and confidence intervals. It is recommended that this section may also be broken into subsections with short, informative headings.

Discussion
Please discuss your results in this section. It is recommended that this section may also be broken into subsections with short, informative headings. Discussion should be limited to the results being reported in the manuscript, please try not to go beyond the results and please try to refrain from being speculative.

Conclusions
This should state clearly the main conclusions of the research and give a clear explanation of their importance and relevance.

Learning points
Please innumerate 3-5 learning points, in form of short sentences highlighting the research contribution.

Competing interests and conflict of interests
Please read the journal policy on declaration of conflict of interest (financial and non financial). A competing interest exists when your interpretation of data or presentation of information may be influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations. Authors must disclose any financial competing interests; they should also reveal any non-financial competing interests that may cause them embarrassment were they to become public after the publication of the manuscript. All financial or non financial interests will be published along with the article. If the authors declare no competing interests a statement of this effect will also be published.

Authors' contributions
In order to give appropriate credit to each author of a paper, the individual contributions of authors to the manuscript should be specified in this section. Please read the ICMJE guidelines on uniform submission to know more about authorship credits and who can be an author. If some of the contributors do not meet authorship criteria be acknowledged in acknowledgement section.

The authorship credit be reported in following format

CD carried out the literature search and prepared the draft manuscript, GB carried out the experiments and interpreted the results, DT designed the study and performed the analysis, KT conceived the study, participated in design and edited the final manuscript. It is important to state that all authors read and approved the final manuscript for submission.

Acknowledgements
Please acknowledge anyone who contributed towards the article by making substantial contributions to conception, design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, or who was involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content, but who does not meet the criteria for authorship. Acknowledgment to the funding should not be made here but should be on the title page on separate section. Authors should obtain permission to acknowledge from all those mentioned in the Acknowledgements section.

References
Only articles and abstracts that have been published or are in press, or are available through public e-print/preprint servers, may be cited. All references, must be numbered consecutively, in square brackets, in the order in which they are cited in the text, followed by any in tables or legends. Each reference must have an individual reference number, irrespective of how many time it appear in manuscript, please do not repeat numbering or create duplicate. Please avoid excessive referencing. If automatic numbering systems are used, the reference numbers must be finalized and the bibliography must be fully formatted before submission.

Unpublished abstracts, unpublished data and personal communications should not be included in the reference list, but may be included in the text and referred to as "unpublished observations" or "personal communications" giving the names of the involved researchers. Obtaining permission to quote personal communications and unpublished data from the cited colleagues is the responsibility of the author. Journal abbreviations follow Index Medicus/MEDLINE. Citations in the reference list should include all named authors, up to the first 3 before adding 'et al.'.

Tables
Tables capture information concisely and display it efficiently; they also provide information at any desired level of detail and precision. Including data in tables rather than text frequently makes it possible to reduce the length of the text.

Type or print each table with double-spacing on a separate sheet of paper. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. Do not use internal horizontal or vertical lines. Give each column a short or an abbreviated heading. Authors should place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Explain all nonstandard abbreviations in footnotes, and use the following symbols, in sequence:

*, †, ‡, §, ||, ¶, **, ††, ‡‡, §§, ||||, ¶¶, etc.

Identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean.

Be sure that each table is cited in the text.

If you use data from another published or unpublished source, obtain permission and acknowledge that source fully.

Additional tables containing backup data too large to publish in print may be appropriate for publication in the electronic version of the journal, deposited with an archival service, or made available to readers directly by the authors. An appropriate statement should be added to the text to inform readers that this additional information is available and where it is located. Submit such tables for consideration with the paper so that they will be available to the peer reviewers.

Illustrations (Figures)
Figures should be either professionally drawn and photographed, or submitted as photographic-quality digital prints. In addition to requiring a version of the figures suitable for printing, some journals now ask authors for electronic files of figures in a format (for example, JPEG or GIF) that will produce high-quality images in the Web version of the journal; authors should review the images of such files on a computer screen before submitting them to be sure they meet their own quality standards.

Photomicrographs should have internal scale markers. Symbols, arrows, or letters used in photomicrographs should contrast with the background.

Photographs of potentially identifiable people must be accompanied by written permission to use the photograph.

Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they have been cited in the text. If a figure has been published previously, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the figure. Permission is required irrespective of authorship or publisher except for documents in the public domain.

For illustrations in colour, ascertain whether the journal requires colour negatives, positive transparencies, or colour prints. Accompanying drawings marked to indicate the region to be reproduced might be useful to the editor. Some journals publish illustrations in colour only if the author pays the additional cost.

Authors should consult the journal about requirements for figures submitted in electronic formats.

Figure legends
Include legends in the main manuscript text file. For each figure provide the figure number in Arabic numerals, short title and a detailed legend upto 250 words. If reproducing the previously publishing figures or tables, it is authors responsibility to take the permission from the copyright owners.

Typography
Font Arial
Please use double line spacing.
Type the text unjustified, without hyphenating words at line breaks.
Use hard returns only to end headings and paragraphs, not to rearrange lines.
Capitalize only the first word, and proper nouns, in the title.
All pages should be numbered.
Please do not use Footnotes, but endnotes may be used.
Please do not format the text in multiple columns.
Greek and other special characters may be included. If you are unable to reproduce a particular special character, please type out the name of the symbol in full. Please ensure that all special characters used are embedded in the text, otherwise they will be lost during conversion to PDF.

Units of Measurement
Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal multiples.

Temperatures should be in degrees Celsius. Blood pressures should be in millimeters of mercury, unless other units are specifically required by the journal.

Journals vary in the units they use for reporting hematologic, clinical chemistry, and other measurements. Authors must consult the Information for Authors of the particular journal and should report laboratory information in both local and International System of Units (SI). Editors may request that authors add alternative or non-SI units, since SI units are not universally used. Drug concentrations may be reported in either SI or mass units, but the alternative should be provided in parentheses where appropriate.

Abbreviations and Symbols
Use only standard abbreviations; use of nonstandard abbreviations can be confusing to readers. Avoid abbreviations in the title of the manuscript. The spelled-out abbreviation followed by the abbreviation in parenthesis should be used on first mention unless the abbreviation is a standard unit of measurement.
