Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line publishes
articles in the broad field of health science,clinical practice, Health history, Animal Health,
sanity, which contribute to the study of the
health-disease-care process, health education , reporting on novel
findings in basic, clinical and translational research.
Since its first publication in 2006, Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line has
incorporated a series of documents and initiatives as part of its editorial
policies. Among these documents of reference are found the
Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing
and Editing for Biomedical Publication of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)
The scope of the journal is to report novel
research results that have an important impact on our understanding of health
or the development of diseases, or are likely to bring important changes to the
diagnosis or treatment of diseases. Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line gives
the highest priority to papers on general and public health and primary
health care.
All articles are evaluated based on an
international peer review process. Less than 70% of submitted articles can be
accepted. Articles will be selected based on novelty, importance for the field
and experimental quality.
Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line is an Open
Access Journal, as the AGENF believe that works reporting the results of
scientific research should be openly accessible and freely usable by the entire
scientific community.

Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line
recommends reading the article Ten Simple (Empirical)
Rules for Writing Science to improve your manuscript
There is no submission fee for original
articles, letters, comments, editorials, case report, guideline articles and
review articles.
All manuscripts submitted to Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line are critically assessed by external and inhouse experts in accordance with the principles of Peer Review, which is fundamental to
the scientific publication process and the dissemination of sound science. Each
paper is first evaluated by one or more editors, who will assess the overall
quality and novelty of the work and the article's appropriateness for the scope
of Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line. Articles that are not found to be relevant
for Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line will not be send
out for external review and will be returned to the authors. The remaining
articles are reviewed by external referees (second step of classical
peer-review). We aim to provide feedback to the authors in less than 4 weeks
after submission.
There is no publications fee for all
articles. All Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line articles are also uploaded to Publindex as a digital preservation service to
our authors.
Authors will grant copyright of their
article to the Salud, Historia
y Sanidad and AGENF. No formal permission will be
required to reproduce parts (tables or illustrations) of published papers,
provided the source is quoted appropriately and reproduction has no commercial
intent. Reproductions with commercial intent will require written permission
and payment of royalties. Please contact the office for requests: shs@agenf.org
Obligation to Register Clinical Trials
We believe that it is important to foster a
comprehensive, publicly available database of clinical trials. We therefore
request, as a condition of consideration for publication, the registration of
all clinical trials in a public trials registry. The ICMJE provides specific
guidelines on this topic. The ICMJE defines a clinical trial as
any research project that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention
or concurrent comparison or control groups to study the cause-and-effect
relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome. Medical
interventions include drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioral
treatments, process-of-care changes, and the like.
Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line does not advocate one particular registry,
but follows the ICMJE recommendations. Because it is critical that trial
registries are independent of for-profit interests, the ICMJE policy requires
registration in a WHO primary registry rather than solely in an associate
registry, since for-profit entities manage some associate registries. The
details of the ICMJE policy are published online.

Other research reporting guidelines: EQUATOR Network
Documented review and approval from a
formally constituted review board (Institutional Review Board - IRB - or Ethics
committee) is required for all studies (prospective or retrospective) involving
people, medical records, and human tissues. Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line
requires that the authors provide this information on the manuscript's website,
and also that they report it explicitly under 'Methods'.
Protection of human
individuals in research
When reporting experiments on human
individuals, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in
accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human
experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration
of 1975, as revised in 2013. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted
in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the
rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the institutional review body
explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.
Patients have a right to privacy that should
not be violated without informed consent. Identifying information, including
names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written
descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees unless the information is essential for
scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written
informed consent for publication.
Protection of animals in
research
When performing experiments on animals or
animal tissues, authors should seek approval by an institutional ethics
committee and should strictly follow the institutional and national guide for
the care and use of laboratory animals. At time of manuscript submission,
authors should provide information on the study approval by an institutional
ethical committee. We can only consider manuscripts reporting on studies on
animals or animal tissues if ethical committee approval of the study can be
documented.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to
the Uniform Requirements established by the International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE): http://www.icmje.org/manuscript_1prepare.html
Manuscripts should be prepared using in
Spanish or English spelling, and should be submitted as Word files. Submit one
manuscript file with the main text, figure legends and tables. Save your file
in .doc format.
Scientific nomenclatur
should be used without Saxon Genitive (for example: use 'Hodgkin Lymphoma' and
not 'Hodgkin's Lymphoma'). Saxon Genitive should be maintained in references.
Abbreviations or acronyms should only be
used when necessary (do not use abbreviations of words that are only used once
or twice in the entire text), and should be explained at their first use.
Abbreviations should be avoided in the title and in the abstract.
Use correct and established nomenclature
wherever possible.
·
Units of measurement. Use SI
units. If you do not use these exclusively, provide the
SI value in parentheses after each value.
·
Drugs. The
use of commercial names of drugs should be avoided. Drugs should only be
referred to under their generic names our Recommended International Non-Proprietary Name (rINN), unless different products are being compared.
·
Species names Write in
italics (e.g., Homo
sapiens).
Write out in full the genus and species, both in the title of the manuscript
and at the first mention of an organism in a paper. After first mention, the
first letter of the genus name followed by the full species name may be used
(e.g., H. sapiens).
·
Genes, mutations, genotypes, and alleles. Use the official gene
symbols when referring to genes, transcripts, proteins. (for
example: Use ABL1, not ABL or c-ABL ; use ETV6, not TEL). Please use this database as a reference: NCBI - gene
We use a new style since September 2015.
Please see the latest issue of Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line for an
example.Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line uses the reference style outlined by the
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), also referred to as
the “Vancouver” style. Example formats are listed below. Additional examples
are in the ICMJE sample references.
Journal name abbreviations should be those
found in the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases.
Please note the following examples:
The
list of references must be numbered consecutively in the order in which the
citations appear in the text. The list of references or bibliography should
begin on a separate sheet, at the end of the manuscript, and the format must
follow the instructions given below.

Papers Presented at Conferences, Congresses, Symposia, etc. Unpublished
papers that have been presented at conferences should be referenced as footnotes
within the text. Only those conference papers that have been published in full
(not just as abstracts) in official proceedings should be included in the list
of references:

Care; 1978 Sept; Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, former U.S.S.R. Geneva: WHO; 1979.
Unpublished conference
papers should be given as footnotes to the main body of the article.
6.
Personal Communications. These should be included only if they provide
essential information that is not available from a public source. Reference to
a personal communication should be given inside parentheses in the body of the
text–not in a footnote–in the following way:
Dr.
D.A. Little, of the Ecology Center of New York, (personal communication, 2
August 1991) has pointed out that...
Without
exception, obtain from the source written verification of the accuracy of the
communication.
Image size and layout:
Image layout should be simple, clear and
precise. In order to promote good management of the space, images must take up
the least space possible without compromising clarity. Figures can be either
one column width (8 cm) or 2 column widths (16 cm). If the figure contains
different panels their content should be identified (use capital letters to
identify each panel) and described in the order in which they are presented.
Please ensure that a description is provided for all parts of the figure.
Please ensure that different parts of the image are shown in proportion to each
other, e.g. axis scales and labels, internal descriptive text. Lines should be
black (not grey) and sufficiently thick. Data which has no graphic significance
to any part of the figure content and form should be presented as a separate
table.
Figure quality:
When a manuscript is accepted for
publication, high quality figures will be required and will be asked to the
authors. High quality figures should be submitted in tiff format. Note that we can not accept figures as presentation slides (Microsoft Powerpoint, Apple Keynote, or
similar) as these can not be printed in high quality.
The resolution of figures should be sufficiently high to allow clear sharp
printing. The best way to determine if a figure is of sufficient quality is to
print it in its final size: if all lines, letters, images are sharp and clear
(not blurry or unfocused) and sufficiently large to read, then the figure is
most likely fine. It is not possible to increase the quality of low quality images : be sure to capture high quality images at all times
during experimental procedures. When making figures in adobe illustrator or
similar software, export your figures as 300 dpi or 600 dpi jpg files (for text
600 dpi is likely to be the best option).
We can not accept
low quality figures. The final acceptance of a manuscript will be delayed if
the authors fail to provide high quality figures.
Reproductions and adaptations:
The author must obtain written permission
for the reproduction and adaptation of material that has already been
published. Permission should be obtained from the copyright holder or
publisher. Before a manuscript goes into print, Salud,
Historia y Sanidad On-Line
will need to receive a copy of the written permission. All material presented
from other sources should be identified and should be accompanied by a specific
reference in the legend confirming that permission for its use had been
obtained, for example: “Adapted from Berger et al. Leukemia 2003, 17,
1820-1826; with permission.”
Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line
recommends reading the article "Ten Simple Rules for Better
Figures" to improve your figures.
Conflict of
interest regarding papers that do not report original research (primary data).
As detailed under Editorial Policies authors must disclose
all relationships that could be viewed as potential conflicts of interest both
in the online manuscript submission system and in the manuscript. These
disclosures are expected to help readers in establishing whether the reported
relationships may influence the authors’ judgment.
Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line
believes that this procedure is appropriate with respect to papers reporting
original research (original articles, brief reports and research letters) as
primary data speak for themselves. This procedure may be insufficient with respect
to papers that do not report primary data, such as editorials, perspective
articles, commentaries, review articles, guidelines, consensus papers and
position papers.
As stated by Kassirer & Angell [Kassirer
JP, Angell M. Financial conflicts of interest in biomedical research. N Engl J Med. 1993 Aug 19;329(8):570-1.
PubMed PMID: 8204121] “unlike reports of original research, these articles
represent the judgment of their authors, based on their evaluation of the
literature. What studies they select to discuss and their analysis of them are
necessarily subjective. Bias may be extremely difficult to detect because these
articles contain no primary data to speak for themselves.” Nonetheless,
disclosing relationships that could be viewed as potential conflicts of
interest may be acceptable in many of these papers. Salud,
Historia y Sanidad On-Line,
however, no longer considers for publication papers not reporting primary data
- such as those listed above - whose preparation has been promoted, sponsored
or supported in any way by a company whose product is discussed in the paper.
In fact, the clear conflict of interest is very likely to influence judgment in
these cases, and there are no primary data that can speak for themselves. This
point is detailed in the online manuscript processing system; if doubts exist
about this issue, the authors are invited to contact the editorial office (shs@agenf.org) before proceeding with submission.
1. Editorials.
They deal with the journal
itself, specific articles within the journal, or public health issues.
Editorials reflect the personal opinions of the individual writing them, who
may be an editorial staff member or an independent author. They should always
bear the author's signature.
2.
Articles.
These are original research
reports, literature reviews, or special reports on subjects of interest to the
Journal. Papers presented at meetings and conferences do not necessarily
qualify as scientific articles. Studies of clinical cases and anecdotal
accounts of specific interventions are not accepted. In general, articles
intended for publication as a series on various aspects of a single study are
not acceptable either. In general, pieces that have been published previously,
in print or electronically (e.g., the Internet), in the same or similar format,
will not be accepted. Any instance of such prior publication must be disclosed
when the manuscript is submitted, and authors must provide a copy of the
published document.
On
occasion, short communications are published that convey innovative or
promising techniques or methodologies or preliminary results of special
interest.
3.
Opinion and Analysis.
In this section individual
authors present their reflections and opinions on topics of interest in the
sphere of public health.
4.
Current Topics and Review.
This section includes
descriptions of national and regional health initiatives, projects, and
interventions, and of current epidemiological trends, especially relating to
diseases and health problems of major importance. Unlike articles, current
topics pieces do not reflect original research. However, the same rules
concerning prior publication of articles also apply with current topics pieces.
5.
Publications.
This section offers brief
summaries of current publications dealing with various aspects of public
health. Readers are invited to submit reviews of books on subjects within their
area of expertise, with the understanding that the reviews will be edited. Each
book review should be no more than 1 500 words in length and should describe
the book's contents objectively, while approaching the following essential
points: the book's contribution to a specific discipline (if possible, as
compared to other books of its kind); the quality of the paper, type,
illustrations and general format; the kind of narrative style; and whether it
makes for easy or difficult reading. The author's professional background and
the type of reader the book is addressed to should also be briefly described.
6. Case Report.
Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line publishes original and interesting
case reports that contribute significantly to public health, nursing and
medical knowledge
6.
Letters to the editor.
Letters to the editor that
clarify, discuss, or comment in a constructive manner on ideas expressed in theRPSP/PAJPH are welcomed. Letters
should be signed by the author and specify his or her professional affiliation
and mailing address.
(See: Reporting
guidelines for main study types)
Abstract:
The Abstract comes after the title page in
the manuscript file. The abstract text is also entered in a separate field in
the submission system. The Abstract of the paper should be succinct; it
must not exceed 250 words. Authors should mention the techniques used without
going into methodological detail and should summarize the most important results.the Abstract is conceptually divided into four sections
Background (opcional) , Aim,Methods,
Results (Principal Findings), and Conclusions/Significance.Do
not include any citations. Avoid specialist abbreviations.
Author Summary:
We ask that all authors of research articles
include a 150–200 word non-technical summary of the work as part of the
manuscript to immediately follow the abstract. This text is subject to
editorial change, should be written in the first-person voice, and should be
distinct from the scientific abstract.Aim to
highlight where your work fits within a broader context; present the
significance or possible implications of your work simply and objectively; and
avoid the use of acronyms and complex terminology wherever possible. The goal
is to make your findings accessible to a wide audience that includes both
scientists and non-scientists.Authors may benefit
from consulting with a science writer or press officer to ensure they
effectively communicate their findings to a general audience.
Introduction:
The Introduction should put the focus of the
manuscript into a broader context. As you compose the Introduction, think of
readers who are not experts in this field. Include a brief review of the key
literature and epidemiology. If there are relevant controversies or
disagreements in the field, they should be mentioned so that a non-expert
reader can delve into these issues further. The Introduction should conclude
with a brief statement of the overall aim of the experiments and a comment
about whether that aim was achieved.
Materials and Methods: This section should provide enough detail
for reproduction of the findings. Protocols for new methods should be included,
but well-established protocols may simply be referenced. While we do encourage
authors to submit all appendices, detailed protocols, or details of the
algorithms for newer or less well-established methods, please do so as
Supporting Information files. These are not included in the typeset manuscript,
but are downloadable and fully searchable from the HTML version of the article.
Results:
The Results section should provide details
of all of the experiments that are required to support the conclusions of the
paper. There is no specific word limit for this section, but details of
experiments that are peripheral to the main thrust of the article and that
detract from the focus of the article should not be included. The section may
be divided into subsections, each with a concise subheading. The section should
be written in the past tense.Large datasets,
including raw data, should be submitted as supporting files or in a repository.
Discussion:
The Discussion should spell out the major
conclusions of the work along with some explanation or speculation on the
significance of these conclusions. How do the conclusions affect the existing
assumptions and models in the field? How can future research build on these
observations? What are the key experiments that must be done? The Discussion
should be concise and tightly argued.
References:
References must be limited to those that are
necessary. Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line does not restrict the number of
references; however suggests not exceed 30 for manuscripts
Any and all available works can be cited in
the reference list. Acceptable sources
include:
·
Published or
accepted manuscripts
·
Manuscripts on pre-print servers, if the
manuscript is submitted to a journal and also publicly available as a pre-print
Do not
cite the following sources in the reference list:
·
Unavailable and unpublished work, including
manuscripts that have been submitted but not yet accepted (e.g., “unpublished
work,” “data not shown”). Instead, include those data as supplementary material
or deposit the data in a publicly available database.

Personal communications (these should be
supported by a letter from the relevant authors but not included in the
reference list)
These articles serve primarily as a forum
for the discussion of controversial, emerging, or topical issues in the field;
occasionally, the discussion surrounds a challenge to findings in a published
research article.
Viewpoints are subset of articles that
reflect a particular position adopted by a person or a group. It is an
articulated organized perspective about a particular topic or issue associated
with health research. A Viewpoint must be clearly expressed, and
demonstrate a thorough and broad understanding of the literature and practices
in the field. The opinion expressed must be cogently presented and lead to
insights and possibly new and interesting perspectives. Salud,
Historia y Sanidad On-Line
will expect a Viewpoint paper to stimulate discussion among the scientific
community that will result in advancing our knowledge and understanding of
contemporary issues as well as practice in medicine and health.
While the subjective nature of Viewpoints
manuscripts should be taken into account, high scholarly standards for
relevance, documentation, organization, and content pertain. The author must
establish a context for why the manuscript is justified and must point toward
the implications or consequences that might follow from the opinions expressed
in the article.
Authors must be researchers with experience
in the subject discussed
Abstract:
The Abstract of the paper should be
succinct; it must not exceed 200 words. Authors should express the main idea
and a concise argument position in one or two paragraphs. Avoid specialist
abbreviations.
Introduction:
The context for the article is made in the
introduction and a logical case is made for the expression of the Viewpoint.
Historical background is thoroughly reviewed, where appropriate. Key concepts
and terms are well explained.
Viewpoint:
The purpose of the Viewpoint is clear and well articulated. The Viewpoint is cogently
argued. The parts of the manuscript are well integrated, coherent and the
conclusions follow. Contrasting viewpoints or counter-arguments are considered.
The perceived benefits, and limitations, of the position advocated are clearly
stated.
References:
References must be limited to those that are
necessary. Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line does not restrict the number of
references; however suggests not exceed 30 for manuscripts
Letter to the Editor submissions must
be no longer than 750 words, no more than 10 references, and no more than a
total of 2 figures and tables (combined). If the Letter to the
Editor is written in response to a Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line
article, the Editor-in-Chief may choose to invite the article's authors to write
a Letter to the Editor reply. The Letter to the Editor section
is not considered to be an appropriate venue for publishing new data without
peer review, nor for comments made in response to a previously published
Correspondence. Studies with scientific merit should be considered for
submission as an Original Report to an appropriate journal.

Authors
should indicate in the abstract and cover letter how the case report adds to
the medical literature. Submissions that do not include this information will
be returned to authors prior to peer review.
Case reports should include an up-to-date
review of all previous cases in the field. Authors should seek written and
signed consent to publish the information from the patients or their guardians
prior to submission. Authors will be asked to confirm informed consent was
received as part of the submission process, and the manuscript must include a
statement to this effect by including a 'Consent' section, as follows:
"Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of
this case report and accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is
available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal
See the CARE guidelines to write the manuscript of case
report.
Abstract:
For a Case Report, the structured abstract
must include the following headings: Case Description, Clinical Findings,
Treatment and Outcome, Clinical Relevance
Introduction:
The Introduction should put the focus of the
manuscript into a broader context. As you compose the Introduction, think of
readers who are not experts in this field. Include a brief review of the key
literature and epidemiology. The Introduction should conclude with a brief
statement of the overall aim of the case report and a comment about whether
that aim was achieved.
Case Description:
A Case Report begins with the signalment (eg, age, sex, ...) of the patient, followed by a chronologic
description of pertinent aspects of the diagnostic examination, treatment, and
outcome, and ends with a brief discussion. When more than 1 patients
is involved, a representative of the group should be described in detail;
important differences among patients can be addressed separately. For reports
in which there are 3 or fewer patients, pertinent abnormal findings should be
summarized in the text. For 4 or more patients, 1 table that provides a summary
of pertinent abnormal findings may be accommodated, provided that such findings
are not repeated in the text.
Discussion:
The Discussion should be concise and tightly
argued.Should discuss the
main findings, differential diagnosis, therapeutic alternatives, as appropriate.Do not include the extensive literature
reviews. Conclude with the value of the contribution to clinical practice or
knowledge of the case report
References:
References must be limited to those that are
necessary. Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line does not restrict the number of
references; however suggests not exceed 12 for manuscripts
Written by the journal's editors, our guest
Editorialist these occasional pieces can cover announcements, highlights
of journal content, position statements, and journal updates.
The Editor-in-Chief may solicit an Editorial
to accompany an accepted manuscript. Editorialists are expected to provide a
balanced opinion of the paper in question and must not have conflict of
interest that could compromise their objectivity. Any concerns that the
editorialist might have regarding conflict of interest should be discussed with
the Editor-in-Chief, before the editorial is written. Editorials should be no
longer than 1500 words, may contain a total of one table or figure (optional),
and should not include an abstract.
The Editorial should generally not be
divided into subheadings, although on occasion a few subheadings to promote
clarity might be permitted at the discretion of the Editor. Opinions stated in
Editorials should not be overly speculative and should be supported by facts
published in the medical literature. Editorials are subjected to editing and
final approval by the Editor-in-Chief.
Review articles are welcomed by the Journal
and are generally solicited by the Editor-in-Chief; authors wishing to submit
an unsolicited Review Article are invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief prior
to submission in order to screen the proposed topic for relevance and priority,
given other review articles that may already be in preparation. Review articles
should focus on recent scientific or clinical advances in an area of broad
interest to those in the field of medicine and health. Such articles must be
concise and critical and should include appropriate references to the
literature. All Review Articles, including those solicited by the Editors, are
rigorously peer reviewed before a final publication decision is made.
Authors must be researchers with experience
in the subject discussed
See the Ten Simple Rules for
Writing a Literature Review to write the manuscript of literature
review.
Abstract:
The Abstract of the paper should be
succinct; it must not exceed 200 words. Authors should express the main idea
and a concise argument position in one or two paragraphs. Avoid specialist
abbreviations.
Introduction:
The context for the article is made in the
introduction and a logical case is made for the expression of the Viewpoint.
Historical background is thoroughly reviewed, where appropriate. Key concepts
and terms are well explained.
Main Text (broken into subsections as appropriate):
These succinct, synthetic, well-focused, and
engaging Reviews should appeal to a broad genetics readership. Aim for no more
than 4,000 words (introduction and main text), two or three display items, and
a concise list of the most relevant references. The article should include an
overview of the existing literature that places the topic within a broader
context, but it should also focus on the future: where is the field going and
what exciting developments are expected? It is particularly important to
highlight critical new advances, open questions, and standing controversies or
paradoxes as these are especially valued by a general readership.
The use of tables and color figures to
summarize critical points is encouraged; the Journal offers assistance with
preparation or improvement of figures by professional illustrators, once the
article is accepted.

and 3; Figures 2-4 and 6; Tables 2, 4 and 6).
References referring to Figure panels and
subpanels should be presented by adding a capital letter in alphabetic order
immediately after the identification number (for example: Figure 1A, Figure
1B).
When reference is made to more than one
Figure panel or subpanel, please separate the capital letters with a hyphen and
use a comma followed by a space to separate capital letters that are not
consecutive (for example: Figure 2 B-C ; Figure 3 B, D).
Provide tables in a simple format, without
specific layout. The final layout will be given by journal staff at time the
final manuscript pdf file is prepared. Tables should have a short clear title.
Provide a legend to the table (if needed) directly below the table. Explain all
abbreviations that are used in the table in the legend.
Figures should be numbered consecutively in
the order in which they are presented in the main text, e.g. Figure 3. Give

Articles appearing in the journal are exclusively the responsibility of the
authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Editorial Committee.
Reproduction of the material published in Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line is strictly forbidden
without prior authorization.
The names and e-mail addresses introduced in
this journal will be used strictly for the purposes declared by this journal and
will not be available for any other purpose or to other individuals
Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line strictly
follows the ICMJE Ethical Considerations in the Conduct and
Reporting of Research, which are reported below with a few modifications of
the original text available in the ICMJE website.
All persons designated as authors
should qualify for authorship according to the ICMJE criteria. Each author should
have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for
the content. Authorship credit should be based only on substantial
contributions to
·
conception and design, or
analysis and interpretation of data; and
·
to drafting the article or
revising it critically for important intellectual content; and on
·
final approval of the version to be published.
These three conditions must
all be met. Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the
collection of data does not justify authorship. General supervision of the
research group is not sufficient for authorship. Any part of an article
critical to its main conclusions must be the responsibility of at least one
author. Authors should provide a brief description of their individual
contributions in the section Authorship and Disclosures. Authors should
consider that Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line
publishes scientific papers under the assumption that they have been drafted
and written by persons listed as authors, and that the data presented have been
collected and analyzed by the authors themselves. The Editors believe that,
while editing may benefit a paper, ghost writing is unacceptable in scientific
publishing.
All contributors who do not meet
the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgments section.
Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided
purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Editors should ask
corresponding authors to declare whether they had assistance with study design,
data collection, data analysis, or manuscript preparation. If such assistance
was available, the authors should disclose the identity of the individuals who
provided this assistance and the entity that supported it in the published
article. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
Groups of persons who have
contributed materially to the paper but whose contributions do not justify
authorship may be listed under such headings as "clinical
investigators" or "participating investigators," and their
function or contribution should be described—for example, "served as
scientific advisors," "critically reviewed the study proposal,"
"collected data," or "provided and cared for study
patients." Because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and
conclusions, these persons must give written permission to be acknowledged.
The ICMJE adopts the World
Association of Medical Editors' definition of editorial freedom. According to this definition,
editorial freedom, or independence, is the concept that editors-in-chief have
full authority over the editorial content of their journal and the timing of
publication of that content. Journal owners should not interfere in the
evaluation, selection, or editing of individual articles either directly or by
creating an environment that strongly influences decisions.
Editors should base decisions on
the validity of the work and its importance to the journal's readers not on the
commercial success of the journal. Editors should be free to express critical
but responsible views about all aspects of medicine without fear of
retribution, even if these views conflict with the commercial goals of the
publisher. Editors and editors' organizations have the obligation to support
the concept of editorial freedom and to draw major transgressions of such
freedom to the attention of the international medical, academic, and lay
communities.
All manuscript submitted to Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line are critically
assessed by external and/or inhouse experts in
accordance with the principles of Peer Review, which is fundamental to the
scientific publication process and the dissemination of sound science. Each
paper is first assigned by the Editors to an appropriate Associate Editor who
has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript. The first step of
manuscript selection takes place entirely inhouse and
has two major objectives:
a) to
establish the article's appropriateness for Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line's
readership;
b) to
define the manuscript's priority ranking relative to other manuscripts under
consideration, since the number of papers that the journal receives is much
greater than that it can publish.
If a manuscript does not receive
a sufficiently high priority score to warrant publication, the editors will
proceed to a quick rejection.
The remaining articles are
reviewed by at least two different external referees (second step or classical
peer-review).
Public trust in the peer-review
process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how well
conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer review, and editorial
decision making .
Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or
editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence
(bias) his or her actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments,
competing interests, or competing loyalties). These relationships vary from
negligible to great potential for influencing judgment. Not all relationships
represent true conflict of interest. On the other hand, the potential for
conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether an individual believes
that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment.
Financial relationships (such as
employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, and paid expert
testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most
likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science
itself. However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal
relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion.
All participants in the
peer-review and publication process must disclose all relationships that could
be viewed as potential conflicts of interest. Disclosure of such relationships
is also important in connection with editorials and review articles, because it
can be more difficult to detect bias in these types of publications than in
reports of original research. Editors may use information disclosed in
conflict-of-interest and financial-interest statements as a basis for editorial
decisions.
When authors submit a manuscript,
whether an article or a letter, they are responsible for disclosing all
financial and personal relationships that might bias their work. To prevent
ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not
exist.
Authors should do so in the
manuscript on a conflict-of-interest notification page, providing additional
detail, if necessary, in a cover letter that accompanies the manuscript. Salud, Historia
y Sanidad On-Line now adopts the ICMJE uniform format for disclosure of
competing interests. The ICMJE Uniform Disclosure
Form for Potential Conflicts of Interest must be used, and each author should
prepare a separate form. The corresponding authors will be invited to submit
all forms during the peer-review process.
Increasingly, individual studies
receive funding from commercial firms, private foundations, and government. The
conditions of this funding have the potential to bias and otherwise discredit
the research.
Scientists have an ethical
obligation to submit creditable research results for publication. Moreover, as
the persons directly responsible for their work, researchers should not enter
into agreements that interfere with their access to the data and their ability
to analyze them independently, and to prepare and publish manuscripts. Authors
should describe the role of the study sponsor, if any, in study design;
collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; writing the report; and the
decision to submit the report for publication. If the supporting source had no
such involvement, the authors should so state. Biases potentially introduced
when sponsors are directly involved in research are analogous to methodological
biases.
Editors may request that authors
of a study funded by an agency with a proprietary or financial interest in the
outcome sign a statement, such as "I had full access to all of the data in
this study and I take complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and
the accuracy of the data analysis." Editors should be encouraged to review
copies of the protocol and/or contracts associated with project-specific
studies before accepting such studies for publication. Editors may choose not
to consider an article if a sponsor has asserted control over the authors'
right to publish.
Reviewers must disclose to
editors any conflicts of interest that could bias their opinions of the
manuscript, and they should recuse themselves from reviewing specific
manuscripts if the potential for bias exists. As in the case of authors,
silence on the part of reviewers concerning potential conflicts may mean either
that conflicts exist and the reviewer has failed to
disclose them or conflicts do not exist. Reviewers must therefore also be asked
to state explicitly whether conflicts do or do not exist. Reviewers must not
use knowledge of the work, before its publication, to further their own
interests.
Editors who make final decisions
about manuscripts must have no personal, professional, or financial involvement
in any of the issues they might judge. Other members of the editorial staff, if
they participate in editorial decisions, must provide editors with a current
description of their financial interests (as they might relate to editorial
judgments) and recuse themselves from any decisions in which a conflict of
interest exists.
Patients have a right to privacy
that should not be violated without informed consent. When informed consent has
been obtained, editors may request authors to provide a copy before making the
editorial decision.
Manuscripts must be reviewed with
due respect for authors' confidentiality. In submitting their manuscripts for
review, authors entrust editors with the results of their scientific work and
creative effort, on which their reputation and career may depend. Authors'
rights may be violated by disclosure of the confidential details during review
of their manuscript. Reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which must
be respected by the editor. Confidentiality may have to be breached if
dishonesty or fraud is alleged but otherwise must be honored.
Editors must not disclose
information about manuscripts (including their receipt, content, status in the
reviewing process, criticism by reviewers, or ultimate fate) to anyone other
than the authors and reviewers. This includes requests to use the materials for
legal proceedings.
When reporting experiments on
human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in
accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human
experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration
of 1975, as revised in 2013. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted
in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the
rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the institutional review body
explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting
experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and
national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Plagiarism is when an
author attempts to represent someone else’s work as his or her own. Duplicate
publication, sometimes called self-plagiarism, occurs when an author reuses
substantial parts of his or her own published work without providing the
appropriate references. This can range from getting an identical paper
published in multiple journals, to ‘salami-slicing’, where authors add small
amounts of new data to a previous paper. Plagiarism can be said to have clearly
occurred when large chunks of text have been cut-and-pasted. Such manuscripts
would not be considered for publication in Salud, Historia y Sanidad On-Line. But
minor plagiarism without dishonest intent is relatively frequent, for example,
when an author reuses parts of an introduction from an earlier paper.
The journal editors judge any case of which they become aware (either by their own knowledge of and reading about the literature, or when alerted by referees) on its own merits. If a case of plagiarism comes to light after a paper is published, the journal will conduct a preliminary investigation. If plagiarism is found, the journal will contact the author’s institute and funding agencies. A determination of misconduct will lead the journal to run a statement, bidirectionally linked online to and from the original paper, to note the plagiarism and to provide a reference to the plagiarized material. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be obviously marked on each page of the PDF. Depending on the extent of the plagiarism, the paper may also be formally retracted.All manuscripts submitted to Salud, Historia y sanidad are reviewed with the Turnitin
