Best Practices
The Journal adheres to the best practices, recommendations and procedures proposed by the Committee on Advertising Ethics (COPE) for the publication of scientific journals.
Authors must take into account the principles of the World Medical Association on human research and the well-known Declaration of Helsinki (https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinki- principios-éticos-para-la-investigación-medica-en-sujetos-humanos/).
The Journal also endorses the ICMJE recommendations for the conduct, writing, editing and publication of papers in medical journals (http://www.icmje.org/recomendaciones/).
Clinical studies should use CONSORT or TREND guidelines when appropriate. Meta-analysis studies should follow PRISMA guidelines. Diagnostic reports should follow STARD guidelines. Epidemiological studies should consult with the STROBE Initiative. Microarray reports should follow MIAME guidelines and be published in accessible repositories. In biomedical research, authors can evaluate BioShari guidelines.
Human studies
In the case of clinical experiments in humans, the studies must have institutional and ethics committee approval, statements of the implementation of good clinical practices, and document how informed consent was obtained. If requested by the Journal, authors should provide this material. This includes following the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. In addition, registration of clinical trials with WHO or ICMJE may be requested.
Animal studies
Animal studies must be conducted in accordance with internationally accepted standards. Institutions must obtain approvals from their institutional or equivalent committees (ethics committees). This information should be reported in the manuscript.
Informed Consent
Studies should follow privacy standards and request signed informed consent. The Journal requires the request of consent by the investigators to the subjects of the study, under the WHO/WHO international regulations and compliance with local regulations. Studies containing personally identifiable information will not be accepted.
Declaration of conflict of interest and sources of funding
Authors should also declare any possible conflict of interest in a short paragraph at the end of their manuscript. Our journal is regulated under the guidelines of the International Committee of Medica Journal Editors (ICMJE). This declaration includes owning stock, providing consulting services, organizational memberships, financial partnerships, travel fees, or royalties. A conflict of interest should be identified by any direct or indirect benefit, whether financial or not, derived from the publication and provided by a third party. Likewise, authors should disclose the source of funding for their work or any sponsor that supported the research directly or indirectly.
When the author submits the manuscript, each listed co-author will receive an e-mail with a link to a digital potential conflict of interest form. This form should be filled out by each co-author by clicking on the submit button. The model form was taken from the International Committee of Medical Editors.

It will be subject to peer review. It will then be forwarded to you with the editors' comments, questions and suggestions. They should return the responses and changes in a separate file, where the changes are shown and marked. When publications are accepted, authors should take into account that this material cannot be published in another journal. The journal reserves the right to require compliance with these rules.
Cost of publication
Publication in the Journal is free of charge for authors in the initial stages. Subsequently, the Journal reserves the right to request a financial contribution upon approval of a manuscript for publication.
The CC-BY license option is an international license for free distribution or OPEN ACCESS of your article.

Likewise, the content of your manuscript will be in full text and PDF format with CC-BY license. See example: https://www.revistamedica.org/index.php/rmdp/article/view/1950
