Advice to authors

  1. Guidelines for Manuscript Volume and Structure

    To ensure high scientific quality and compliance with international standards, the Editorial Board has established the following guidelines for manuscript preparation:

    Publication type Volume (pages) Number of Sources DOI Assignment Key Features
    Original Research 8–12 15–30 Yes

    Full IMRAD structure. High citation potential.
    Review Article 12–20 50–100 Yes In-depth analysis of literature (past 5–10 years).
    Case Report 5–8 10–15 Yes Focus on uniqueness and clinical photography (6–8 figures).
    Technical Note 3–5 up to 10 Yes Description of new methods, instruments, or protocols.
    Anniversary article (essay) 2–4 if necessary No Biographical data, list of works, portrait
    Post- release 1–2 None No A brief description or review of the event.

    Note: According to international standards (Crossref), a DOI is assigned to materials that possess independent scientific value. Chronological or informational notes (post-releases) are generally not indexed as scientific articles; therefore, DOI registration for these items is not applicable.

  2. ORCID Registration and Usage

    Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCIDORCID is a unique international digital identifier for researchers that ensures an automatic link between the author and their scientific works.).

    An ORCID ID is a mandatory requirement for every author submitting a manuscript to our journal.

    Registration Algorithm:

    • Visit https://orcid.org/register.
    • Fill in the mandatory fields in the registration form: first name, last name (in Latin characters), and email address (enter twice).
    • A red warning indicates the email is already in use; creating a new profile is impossible.
    • Create a password (at least 8 characters, including numbers and letters/symbols).
    • Visibility settings: select "Everyone" to ensure discoverability and indexing.
    • The final step of the registration process is to agree with the privacy policy and terms of use. To complete the registration, you must accept the terms of use.
    • Check your email and click on the link to activate your account. After this, your ORCID profile page will open, displaying your personal ORCID ID.

    After logging in, you must:

    • Specify your department and university;
    • Add your previous works (via import from Scopus/Web of Science);
    • Provide your ORCID number when submitting a manuscript to our journal.

    The ORCID identifier information must be provided when submitting publications, grant applications, and during other research-related processes; it should also be included in various search engines, scientometric databases, and social networks.
