Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Articles

Clinical Medicine Journal considers and publishes the following types of articles:

  1. Empirical Articles – These are structured according to the IMRAD format and present original research findings from primary sources such as clinical trials, observational studies, patient data, laboratory experiments, or epidemiological databases. Submissions must include an original interpretation of the analyzed data, emphasizing clinical relevance and ethical considerations.

  2. Theoretical Articles – The structure of these articles depends on the content. They involve a critical analysis of existing literature and propose new theoretical frameworks or hypotheses that contribute to the advancement of clinical medicine globally. These may include original models for disease mechanisms, modifications or critiques of diagnostic approaches, comparison of therapeutic strategies, or development of methodological strategies for clinical research.

  3. Review Articles – These provide a comprehensive synthesis of research in a particular area, identifying unresolved questions and outlining directions for future studies. Review articles are essential for updating the scholarly community on recent developments, trends, and achievements in clinical fields, such as systematic reviews or meta-analyses.

  4. Case Studies – These articles describe specific clinical events, patient cases, or phenomena in detail, analyzing context, causes, consequences, and potential solutions. Case studies are valuable for understanding real-world applications and complexities of medical conditions, including rare diseases or novel treatments.
