Article Types

The journal will consider the following article types.

1. Research Articles

The articles that present the results of the original research study are considered research articles. These manuscripts should describe how the research project was conducted and provide a thorough analysis of the results of the project. The research articles should include the following in the order given below:

• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Materials and Methods
• Results (including Tables and/or Figures)
• Discussion
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgments
• References

2. Reviews and mini-reviews

A review article provides an overview of the published literature in a particular subject area. A review article should contain an abstract, keywords, introduction, methods (including data sources, study selection, and data extraction), results and conclusion, acknowledgment, and references.

3. Short Communication

Short Communications are brief reports that present original and significant research and need to be published quickly. It may focus on a hot topic or may have new findings that are expected to have a significant impact on a current problem. Short communications are expected to have a higher than average impact.

4. Case reports

New, interesting, and rare cases can be reported. They should be unique, describing a great diagnostic or therapeutic challenge and providing a learning point for the readers.

Preparation of Manuscript

• Title: The title should be concise and informative.
