Introduction
The journal publishes original papers, literature reviews, case reports, short reports, case series, clinical images, as well as editorials or letter to editor, either solicited or unsolicited, written by internationally recognized scientists and researchers working in the broad field of medicine.
Ethics
Human studies must be performed with the subjects’ written informed consent. Authors must provide the details of this procedure and indicate that the institutional committee on human research has approved the study protocol. Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in your paper. Patients have a right to privacy. Therefore, identifying information, including patients’ images, names, initials, or hospital names, should not be included in written descriptions and photographs. Articles concerning human or animal research should comply with the Declaration of Helsinki and this must be stated in the methods section.
Conflict of interest
All authors must make a formal statement at the time of submission indicating any potential conflict of interest that might constitute an embarrassment to any of the authors if it were not to be declared and were to emerge after publication. Such conflicts might include, but are not limited to, shareholding in or receipt of a grant or consultancy fee from a company whose product features in the submitted manuscript or which manufactures a competing product. All sources of funding for the work should be acknowledged on the title page, as should all institutional affiliations of the authors. This includes associations such as consultancies, stock ownership, or other equity interests or patent-licensing arrangements. If no relationship with industry exists, please state this on the title page.
Permissions
No part of materials published in Annals of Academy of Romanian Scientists – Series of Medicine may be reproduced without written permission of the editor. Once a manuscript is accepted, the corresponding author will be sent an e-mail to complete the Copyright Form. The authors are fully responsible for scientific content of the article.
Exclusive submission/publication policy
The manuscripts are considered for review only under the conditions that they are not under consideration elsewhere and that the data presented have not or have not been previously published. On acceptance, transfer of copyright to the Academy of Romanian Scientists Publishing House will be required.
Manuscript acceptance
The Editor-in-Chief will notify the corresponding author if the submited manuscript has been accepted for publication. If revisions are solicited by the reviewers, a revised manuscript must be returned to the editorial office.
It is a condition of publication in the Annals of Academy of Romanian Scientists – Series of Medicine that authors grant an exclusive licence to the Academy of Romanian Scientists Publishing House. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and thus ensures that the article is disseminated as widely as possible. As part of the licence agreement, authors may use their own material in other publications, provided the Academy of Romanian Scientists Publishing House is acknowledged as the original place of publication and is notified in writing in advance.
Plagiarism detection
The Annals of Academy of Romanian Scientists – Series of Medicine is committed to the highest standards of research and publication ethics, and does not allow any form of plagiarism. All submitted manuscripts are screened with plagiarism software at least two times during the evaluation process to detect instances of overlapping and similar text.
The Annals of Academy of Romanian Scientists – Series of Medicine Journal requires that each author, reviewer, and editor must disclose to the editor-in-chief any conflict of interest related to family, personal, financial, political or religious issues as well as any competing interest. Whether or not a conflict of interest and financial support exist, they must be declared in the Conflict of Interest form as well as at the end of the manuscripts. If a reviewer, an associate editor, or a section editor has a conflict of interest and/or believes that it is not appropriate to be a reviewer, or an editor for a given manuscript, the reviewer or the editor should resign from the assignment. The Editorial Board members of the Annals of Academy of Romanian Scientists – Series of Medicine Journal, who handle submissions and recommend decisions to the Editor-in-chief may also submit their own manuscripts to the journal as all of them are active researchers and scientists. However, they cannot take place at any stage on the editorial decision of their manuscripts in order to minimize any possible bias. They will be treated like any other author, and if any, final acceptance of such manuscripts can only be made by the positive recommendation of at least two external reviewers, who are not the members of decision-making Editorial Board.
