methodology and creation of models. Project administration – Responsibility for
management and coordination of the planning and implementation of the research
activity. Resources – Supply of study materials, reagents,
materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing
resources or other analysis tools. Software – Programming, software development,
computer program design, implementation of computer code and supporting
algorithms, testing of existing code components. Supervision – Supervisory and leadership
responsibility in planning and conducting research activities, including
mentoring external to the core team. Validation – Verification, either as part of the
activity or separately, of the overall replicability/reproduction of the
results/experiments or other research products. Visualization – Preparation, creation or
presentation of published work, specifically the visualization/presentation of
data. Writing – original draft – Preparation, creation
or presentation of published work, specifically writing the initial draft
(substantive translation included). Writing – review and editing – Preparation,
creation or presentation of published work by members of the original research
group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision – pre- or
post-publication stages should be included. . Institution where the work was carried out . Contact author: name – phone – email . If the work has been financed, it must refer
to its origin C-Text. With the exception of letters to the editor and
editorials, all other types of publications must begin with the title of the
article, subtitle where applicable, abstract and keywords (preferably use the
terms mentioned in the Medical Subject Headings , from the Index Medicus and no more than 5). In
the case of original works, the abstracts must follow the same items of the
work (introduction, objective, methodology, result, discussion, conclusions);
In the case of reviews and clinical cases, it is not necessary for the abstract
to mention its items. D-Tables and/or graphs and/or images. They should be at the
end of the manuscript. They must include the corresponding legends. In the case of tables, graphs or images already
published, the express authorization of the author must be obtained for their
reproduction. In case of being previously published in fonts that adopt the
Creative license Commons cc- by is enough to specifically list its author and
publication site. Images must be in JPG or GIF format. Preferably
up to 580 pixels ( pxl .) wide, maximum allowed 850 pixels ( pxl .) wide.
Remember in case of using images such as tomography, x-rays, etc. the name of
the patient should not appear. Sections In RUMI the following publications are made: A- Editorial: it is a document written by the Editorial
Committee or a guest with information on the thematic domain of the journal. B-Letters to the editor: these are brief communications about clinical
notes, preliminary communications, communications in relation to works already
published. C-Reviews: these are systematic, comprehensive, descriptive
or other reviews; updated on clinical, diagnostic or therapeutic aspects. They will present the following items: 1) Introduction ending with objective 2) Methodology used to carry out the review
(consulted sources - for example: SciELO , Medline , Index Medicus , etc .;
language and years of search) 3) Development of it. 4) Discussion. 5) Conclusions. 6) Bibliography. D-Clinical cases: these are reports on clinical cases, whether of
exceptional or common diseases that, due to some unusual fact, are worth
sharing. They will present the following items: 1) Introduction ending with the objective of
presenting clinical cases 2) Report of them. We remember that it must be
written in the past tense. 3) Discussion. 4) Conclusions. 5) Bibliography. It is recalled that if they contain images, they
should not identify the clinical case. E-Original papers: these are reports on original clinical or basic
research. They will present the following items: 1) Introduction: consists of a brief review of
previous works related to the topic to be investigated. End with the objectives
of the article. 2) Methodology: contains data on the type of
study, population and its selection criteria, intervention carried out,
variables analyzed with their corresponding definition and statistical analysis
carried out. In the case of using techniques, the device must be indicated
(name and address of the manufacturer in brackets). The information recorded
should allow other researchers to reproduce the experiment in detail. 3) Results: they will be presented in a clear
and concise way, as text, graphs and/or tables. The presentation of the results
should not be repeated. If they are expressed as a table or graph, it is not
recommended to also publish it in a text version. 4) Discussion: it must be a synthesis of the
comparison of the data obtained in the study with respect to the relevant
scientific literature, which also interprets the similarities or contrasts
found. It should include an analysis of the scope of your findings and their
limitations. 5) Conclusions: the most relevant findings will
be indicated, that is, those that constitute a contribution 6) Acknowledgments: addressed to people who,
without being authors, have contributed substantially to the manuscript. 7) Ethical norms – it must be specified if the
manuscript has the approval of the research ethics committee of the institution
where it was carried out. 8) Conflict of interest – a statement must be
made regarding the existence or not of a conflict of interest. A real or
potential conflict of interest exists when an author (or the institution to
which the author belongs) has personal or financial relationships that may
inappropriately influence (bias) their actions. The possibility of a
conflict of interest may exist whether or not a person believes that the
relationship affects their scientific judgment. Financial relationships—such as
employment, consultancies, stock ownership, fees, reports, and expert
opinions—are the easiest conflicts of interest to spot. However, conflicts can
occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships or academic rivalry,
among other causes. In case of acceptance of the manuscript, the declaration
will be published at the bottom. 9) Data availability –
should indicate whether the data set is available, and if so, where to access
it. In the event that the author has the research data on a server, he must
indicate the name of the same. If this is not the case, you must indicate that
the data is not available. 10) Bibliography Editorial flow The works received will be evaluated by the
Editorial Committee. If they meet the publication requirements and are
considered of interest to the journal's target audience, they will be sent to
be refereed by suitable professionals designated by the aforementioned. The
arbitration of the manuscript will be with the “double blind” methodology – the
referees do not know the identity of the authors, nor are they informed who
carried out the arbitration. Depending on the complexity and theme of the
manuscript, it may be evaluated by one or more referees. Papers approved by the
referees will be reviewed for style and bibliographic correction. From this triple evaluation will emerge:
The authors will be returned the manuscript with
the final report and in case of situation 3 they will have a period of up to 30
calendar days to return it with the proposed corrections or, failing that, a
note justifying the non-completion of these. Once returned, it will be verified
that the corrections indicated by the peer reviewers, the style and/or the
bibliographical references have been made in order to start the layout and design
process. This is the time of the job acceptance date. Abbreviations Only standard abbreviations will be allowed.
Abbreviations will be avoided in the title and in the abstract. When an
abbreviation is used for the first time in the text, it will go between
parentheses preceded by the complete term, except if it is a common unit of
measurement. Anti-plagiarism system RUMI has an anti-plagiarism system (Similar
Check) so we remind authors that it is imperative that the articles are their
intellectual property in all their extension. Code of ethics In the case of controlled clinical trials, it
must contain the registration identification number in the Ministry of Public
Health. In the case of epidemiological studies, the date and/or registration
number in which the bioethics committee of the institution gave the endorsement
for itself should be referred to. Papers submitted for evaluation must have been
prepared in compliance with international recommendations on clinical research
(World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki [ https://www.wma.net/policy/]) and with laboratory animals. Informed consent If photographs or patient data are reproduced,
they must not identify the subject. In all cases, the authors must have
obtained the patient's written informed consent authorizing their publication,
reproduction, and disclosure. The original works must have the endorsement of
the bioethics committee of the institution where it is carried out. Authors are
responsible for obtaining the appropriate permissions to reproduce previously
published material (text, tables, or figures). These permissions must be
requested from both the author and the publisher that has published said
material. Responsibility of the authors and collaborators Bibliography Bibliography publication must follow Vancouver
standards. They must be between parentheses and in superscript format, you
cannot use the automatic bibliographical reference tool that Word has. The
order of appearance in the text will be the order of the bibliography. Vancouver standards: bibliographical references Uniform requirements. Vancouver style.
