Tables and figures The figures (statistical graphs) and tables should be sent preferably in MS-Excel. The tables must have only horizontal lines to separate the header from the body of the table, in no case should vertical lines be included. The figures will be presented separately from the text of the article, each one in a separate electronic file or page.

Tables should appear at the end of the text, after the bibliography and should be as simple as possible and not duplicate information that is presented in the text. They should be self-explanatory, with a brief title describing their content. Its structure should be as simple as possible and present the information in a logical sequence, which usually means ordering it from left to right and top to bottom. Consistency must be maintained in the punctuation or abbreviations of the words, or in the units of measure or decimals of the numerical data. It is advisable to present only the significant digits and to do it only with a decimal. If abbreviations or symbols are used, if they are not self-explanatory, they should be made explicit by the use of footnotes. If data that do not come from the study are included, it should be clearly indicated with a footnote that identifies the source. Photographs, data charts, and diagrams will be considered figures. Each one will go in a separate file preferably in JPG or TIFF format. The photographs will be carefully selected, omitting those that do not contribute to a better understanding of the text. It is important that the copy is of the best possible definition (300 dpi), to ensure the quality of the reproduction. The figure feet should be included, on a separate page, at the end of the manuscript, after the bibliography or after the tables, if any, with the Arabic numerals corresponding to the figure. If photographs or patient data are reproduced, they should not be identifying the subject. In all cases, the authors must have obtained the written informed consent of the patient authorizing its publication, reproduction, and dissemination on paper and the Internet at the "Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana". Also, the authors are responsible for obtaining the appropriate permits to reproduce in the "Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana" material (text, tables or figures) previously published.

Obligations of the author |
|
|
Ethical responsibilities Confidentiality The authors are responsible for following the protocols established by their respective health centers in order to access the data of the clinical histories to be able to carry out this type of publication with the purpose of research/dissemination for the community. They must declare the compliance with this requirement. The author has the obligation to guarantee that the requirement of having informed all the patients included in the study and that he/she is in possession of the document signed by them having received sufficient information and having obtained their informed written consent to participate, has been fulfilled. The authors must mention in the section "Methods" that the procedures used in patients and controls have been carried out after obtaining informed consent. Privacy The author is also responsible for guaranteeing the right to privacy of patients by protecting their identity both in the writing of their article and in the images. Do not use names, initials or hospital medical record numbers (or any other type of data irrelevant to the research that could identify the patient) or in the text or photographs. Unless such information is essential for scientific purposes in which case you can collect it in the article provided that the patient or his parent or guardian gives written informed consent for its publication. The authors are responsible for obtaining written informed consent, authorizing its publication, reproduction, and dissemination on paper on the web. Financing The authors must declare the origin of any financial aid received. The authors must recognize whether the research has received funding from the US National Institutes of Health or if any of the authors belong to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Authorship The list of authors should include only those people who have contributed intellectually to the development of the work. Having helped in the collection of data or having participated in some technique are not by themselves sufficient criteria to appear as an author (see "Acknowledgments"). In general, to appear as an author, the following requirements must be met:
Conflict of interests There is a conflict of interest when the author had / has economic or personal relationships that have been able to bias or improperly influence their actions. The potential conflict of interest exists regardless of whether the interested parties consider that these relationships influence their scientific criteria or not. The authors will describe in the Letter of presentation and in the Additional information section of the Journal of the Faculty of Human Medicine any financial or personal relationship they had or have, at the time of writing or submitting the article with persons or institutions and that could lead to a conflict of interest in relation to the article that is submitted for publication. What is declared will be recorded in the printed journal (see also the section "Acknowledgments"). Permit obtainment The authors are responsible for obtaining the appropriate permissions to partially reproduce material (text, tables or graphics) of other publications. These permits must be requested both to the author and to the Publisher who has published said material. Publication permission is required by the institution that has funded the research. A declaration that the content of the article is original and that it has not been previously published or sent or submitted for consideration to any other publication, in its entirety or in any of its parts. The authors should be aware that not revealing that the material submitted for publication has already been fully or partially published constitutes a serious breach of scientific ethics. In the same way, authors who reproduce in their article previously published materials (text, tables or figures) are responsible for obtaining the appropriate permissions to reproduce these materials in the journal. The authors must have written authorization from both the author and the publisher who has published this material and send a copy of them together with the article to the journal. Redundant or duplicate publication The journal does not accept previously published material and will not consider for its publication manuscripts that are simultaneously sent to other journals, nor redundant or duplicate publications, that is, articles that substantially overlap another already published, printed or in electronic media. Authors must inform in the cover letter about previous posts or publications of the same work, in whole or in part, that may be considered redundant or duplicate publication. It is necessary to quote and include the bibliographic reference of these previous publications in the new manuscript. These restrictions are not applicable to published abstracts of communications, papers or conferences presented at national or international scientific meetings. |
