Author Guidelines

GENERAL ASPECTS

Multimed accepts unpublished articles and documents that have been previously deposited in preprinted servers recognized by the specialty (SciELO Preprints, PMC, MedRxiv). In the latter case, it is necessary to specify which preprint server is used for your manuscript.

In all of the articles, the end of the document must declare the Declaration of conflicts of interest and the contribution of authorship. (For original articles, CRedit taxonomy is mandatory)

In case you have access to the web, the authors should access: http://www.revmultimed.sld.cu/index.php/mtm/index for the introduction of work in the system. Following is the sequence offered by the home page for the authors' description: (REGISTRARSE, User name and Password). Appear on the page that offers the system to the author: BEGIN A NEW SEND and more: PULSE HERE.

Upon entering the system, the registered author will know the work situation, and could appear in SIN ASIGNAR, REVISIÓN, EDICIÓN.

When the job is found in: SIN ASIGNAR, it can be accepted and passed to REVISIÓN through peer review (double arbitraje), the person can be rejected, and the system returns the work; so that it is corrected by the author; and introduced new into the system with suggested corrections. If it is definitively rejected it cannot be introduced into the system.

It is obligatory to present the SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT of the institution from which the article comes.

The main author with the co-authors will offer in the AUTHORITY DECLARATION POLICY, the originality, ethical consent, validity and legitimacy of the data and its interpretation, as well as the authorship order according to the participation in the studio. In such a case that it exceeds the number of authors signed in the Section Policy, this letter will reflect the participation of each of them for the justification of their participation.

Likewise, the work must be accompanied by the endorsement granted by the Scientific Council corresponding to the health area from which the study by the main author belongs.

All work must conform to the rules of publication, otherwise they may be rejected without further review by the referees.

The Editorial Committee of the Multimed Magazine reserves the right to publish articles that it considers of interest, to suggest the most appropriate form for the new presentation, to reject a manuscript for not complying with the publication rules, in the interest of the magazine. theme that is addressed, in meeting the scientific criteria or another difficulty that is present. The decision by the Editorial Committee is unappealable.

The scientific writing must be understood from the first lecture by the promising lecturer with the general discipline, but he is not a specialist on the specific subject of research, so he must implement a clear language, sencillo, in the redundant and un appropriate order when planting ideas.

    Emplee the impersonal style.
    Take care of the use of the capital letter, as well as the agreement in gender- number and subject - verb.
    Do not use jar.
    Reduce participation and gerund growth in cases where it is essential.
    Avoid wide prayers and excessive subordinations, use convenient score signs to separate statements.
    Rationally use media to highlight texts or important elements, such as bold and cursive sounds.
    Avoid misuse of prepositions and abuse of adverbs.

Multimed Granma publishes Original Articles, Bibliographic Revisions, Historical Articles, Pedagogical Work, Case Reports and News. In order to send other classes of material, you must have prior authorization from the Editorial Committee of the magazine.

STRUCTURE OF LOS ARTÍCULOS

All works must present the next consecutive order, without page leaps:

TYPE OF ARTICLE: Defined by the author and co-authors (as mentioned above).

TITLE: It is one of the most important parts of the work, because it will be read by all the interested community. It must be attractive but exactly. You must listen carefully so that it is brief, clear and explicit. Do not overlap a maximum of 15 words. No excess of prepositions and articles. The use of subtitles, abbreviations, acronyms in jergas is not allowed and it will be ordered from the general to the particular, capable of expressing the content of the text and being able to be registered in the national and international indexes.

AUTHOR (ES): Statement of names and exact and complete surnames, separated by comas and ordered according to their participation, which has made a substantial intellectual contribution and human responsibility for the content of the article. With each index superimposed, to reflect each one of your academic notes in the bureaucratics (specialty, scientific degree and teaching category). Followed by the name of the institution to which it belongs, province, country and electronic telephone.

It is mandatory to declare in each author his ORCID ID. Alphanumeric code, in the commercial, that uniquely identifies scientific and other academic authors.

It is inappropriate to include as authors the person whose contribution to the article is minimal or null (unjustified authorship), denying the author credit to a person who is responsible for a decisive part of the intellectual content of the article (incomplete authorship).

If the number of authors is higher than required (See Section Policy), the preparation of each article in the investigation will be clarified in writing.

RESUMEN: Text that guides the reader to identify the basic content of the article quickly and accurately and to determine its relevance; is a miniature version of this and should briefly summarize each of its main parts. It will have 150 maximum words for the informative summary and up to 250 for the structured summary.

It must be drafted in an impersonal form, in block, without points and apart. It should include, according to the type: objective (which was the main problem that motivated the work and the purpose of the study); period of time, place, universe and size of selected sample, variables analyzed, how the work was carried out, which were the most important hallmarks and conclusions.

In addition, abbreviations, acronyms, bibliographic references and their contents must be intelligible without having to refer to any other text, table or figure. It must be drafted in the third person and in the past time, except for the concluding sentence.

KEY WORDS: From 3 to 10 defined by the author (s). There are also words to help inducers to classify the article for their inclusion on the basis of data, which allows for the search of words in broader or more specific terms or all terms that belong to a large hierarchical structure. At least 3 must match the title of the article.

INTRODUCCIÓN: In this book it is necessary to clearly identify the problem and frame it in the current moment, briefly expose the most relevant works, and highlight the contributions of other authors on the subject object of the study, justify the reasons for the investigation and formulation the hypotheses and the pertinent objectives. Only contains material related to the studio. It should not contain anything that we have described in other sections of the article. It must be brief but interesting to encourage the reader to read the rest of the article.

The introduction informs three very important elements of the investigation: the purpose, the importance of the work done and the current knowledge of the theme. The introduction does not have a strict limit of words but it must be more concise (if recommended in more than one quarter and the media). It will not include results at the conclusion of the work. If it is written in the present time it must be correctly attached.

From here the structure for each type of article is as follows:

For original articles:

METHOD: It must be clearly written and provide information so that another researcher can repeat the study. It should describe the general design of the investigation, define the universe and the sample, as well as the techniques and methods employed, the variables studied, the terms and the statistical analyzes. When unfamiliar methods are used, in addition to providing complete information about them, exposing the razones, benefits and disadvantages of their use.

It is completely descriptive and is written in the past. Bibliographically, except for the method, the procedure has not been carried out and has not been repeated in detail. Avoid the use of ambiguous terms, such as: frequently, regularly and periodically. Do not reflect results. It does not mention the names of patients or commercial names (ethical aspects). The formulas are not explained in the statistical analysis. It takes care of the use of the “significant” term in support of great, important and notable. Significant only should be used when a statistical problem has shown that the differences are real and that there is no experimental error or fortuitous success.

RESULTS: The results report, not interpreting the observations. It should be presented following a logical sequence in the text. The medullary section of the article represents the new knowledge that comes with it. Generally speaking, the text is the quickest and most efficient way to present a few data, the tables are ideal for presenting accurate and repetitive, representative data, which indicate changes, and graphs are ideal for presenting data that show trends to important patrons.

A good text does not require tables or figures, they are used to reinforce informationmassive, not to duplicate it.

DISCUSIÓN: The discussion of data in scientific articles corresponds to the way in which the results are interpreted by the researcher, both in the light of the hypotheses planted, and in the light of what other authors have said about the topic. Each result must be discussed one by one in order to plant the results. Use the intelligence, creativity, updating and ethics of the author. It should refer to the new and important aspects of the investigation, compare and contrast the results obtained with other relevant studies, present the limitations and, finally, comment on the implications of the study for future investigations and for practice. The author must express, at times, clearly and in time past, his version of what has contributed to his investigation.

CONCLUSIONS: Deben derives from the work itself (occasionally, it is stated as such certain statements that are correct, but it does not come off the work done), and there is no need to repeat the results achieved, but be genuine workings that synthesize what can be done as a result of the work done.

Answer the research question planted on the introduction, and the questions that lead to the realization of the work. This acapite is redacted at the present time.

RECOMMENDATIONS: It contains information on suggestions, inferences and reflections formed by the authors.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES: From 15 to 20 references. Organized according to order of appearance. Siempre using super index, never in parentheses.

For Bibliographic Revisions and Historical Articles:

DESARROLLO: Text organized with all the information compiled in the review from which the guidelines of elemental coherence must be respected, and may be included in subacapites or subtitles if the author desires it. This is not just a passive review, the authors will present the revised subject in a critical manner, express their own practical experience and contribute something more that everyone can get from reading it previously published. You can take final considerations from the author (s) to the end of this page separately.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES: From 25 to 50 references. Organized according to order of appearance. Siempre using super index, never in parentheses.

For Presentations o Case reports:

PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO: It narrates the diagnosis of the patient clearly and sencilla, taking care of the logical narrative sequence, describing the clinical manifestations and the surgical procedures, the results of the complementary studies and the necropsy (in case of death).

DISCUSIÓN DEL CASO: It will focus on the specific message of the case and its clinical, surgical, diagnostic and therapeutic importance. If the author has found other cases, these can be mentioned and illustrated in the description below.

It is possible to include the final considerations of the authors or to develop them in the book separately. It highlights in a succinct form the message that must be given, the recommendations for the management of patients similar to the lines of investigation that could originate in this case. The conclusion must be taken care of as long as it is not possible to recommend treatments or extrapolate conclusions at the root of only one case in particular

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES: From 10 to 12 references. All over the text according to the order of appearance. Siempre using super index, never in parentheses.

For educational work:

Maintaining the basic structure: Summary, Introduction, Development, Conclusions and Recommendations, if they have; with the features previously explained.

The Bibliographic References are equally reflected in the Original Articles.

ABOUT THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES

References or bibliographic references constitute a section highlighted in a scientific work. The careful selection of relevant documents is an element that strengthens the theoretical exposition of the text, as it constitutes an important source of information for the reader.

Vancouver style will be presented. These standards can be found at: http://www.ecimed.sld.cu/referencias-bibliograficas-estilo-vancouver-publicaciones-seriadas

Some recommendations

They have updated 75% of the last five years for magazines and for books.

The authors cited are as close as they are cited, it is not necessary to quote authors not consulted by the author.

When there are more than one appointment, you must separate by comas, but they were correlative, the first and the last mentioned by a guide are mentioned.

Avoid using as a reference the summaries, thesis of residents and other documents in the equivalent, because there is still merit in his work, because they are not recoverable material.. In essential cases, the thesis of unpublished residents or doctorates will be noted in parentheses in the text.

The Editorial Committee of the Multimed Magazine suggests authors who prioritize all the articles obtained from scientific articles in scientific journals that can be reviewed by editors through the Internet. On the other hand, quotes from work that come from sites or “dubious” magazines for example, personal web pages or magazines and books that are not certified properly are not accepted.

The bibliographic references cited in the text must be issued by safe and scientific sources such as: prestigious organizations recognized by national or international organizations; national or international scientific journals that make it possible to consult the data of articles through the Internet, as well as databases or directly on the site of the scientific journal itself; the books and other documents that provide elements that identify the authors or the responsible editors of the content used.

They will only include those references consulted personally by the authors. To quote jobs through third party opinions, you can assume that there are nonexistent opinion opinions. It is also common that the work is badly quoted and that we contribute to perpetuate errors of citation.

It is recommended not to quote translated magazines al español. It is advisable to retrieve the quote from the original version, since it is easier to locate an original magazine that has a translated version, in addition to resulting in the most reliable original document.

The titles of magazines should be abbreviated according to the style used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals).

To check the abbreviation of Spanish magazines, you can consult the catalog C17 (Collective catalog of periodical publications of the Spanish Libraries of Sciences of Spain http://biblioteca.ugr.es/pages/biblioteca_electronica/bases_datos/c17). Once the bibliography has been finalized, it must be ensured of the correspondence of the quotes in the text and the assigned number in the bibliography.

Bibliographic references on many occasions contain errors. To avoid such errors, you should check the references with the original documents. PubMed, in the Single Citation Matcher allows you to check in a simple way the bibliographic data of the magazines indicated in Medline.

Consultation with librarians in your area of assistance or assistance, so that help is needed in the use of the Vancouver style, it is obligatory, because it must be signed by those who perform the task.

OTHERS ASPECTS OF INTEREST

Tablas

They will only be used to show very significant results within the article and not to exceed the corner of 5. They will be presented in Web Style 1 included in the text of the work. It must be enumerated in Arabic and consecutively according to the order of appearance in the text and the assignment of a title. Each column will take a title short or abbreviated (if abbreviations are used to clarify the note in the table), however it can be understood easily. The authors must put the explanations in notes on the table. Make the spaces in white with N / A, if not applicable, with a ray and explain its meaning at the end of the title or on a note. Los espacios en blanco could be interpreted as if they had no data what was omitted due to error. If the percentages are to add up to 100, making sure that they are 100. Use the same degree of precision for all the data. Put the ring around the decimal point (0.5 instead of .5). Line the column numbers below the decimal point. If the table is so wide that it must continue on the next page, write on the next page Table X (X is the number of the table) and repeat the column headings. If the table is too old, try to exchange the headings of the rows and columns so that the table falls vertically. Express all the decimals with the same score criteria.

Figures

It must have the quality required for electronic publication. It should be listed consecutively according to the order of appearance in the text. They will be delivered in * .JPG format, with not more than 500 KB of size If photographs of people are used, they must not be identifiable or, on the contrary, they must attach the consent of the patient. For radiographs, scanners and other imagesof diagnostic techniques to send clear and bright photographs in white and black. In such a case that it is not original, it must reflect the source with all the data from which it was taken. In the readings of the figures, there should be no lack of titles in the explanations, but you should not appear inside the illustrations.

Graphics

It will not be necessary to duplicate the information in tables and graphics. Have descriptive title corto y leyenda. The example of one another responds to its ability to facilitate understanding of information. The use of aesthetics in addition to tables with multiple entries is preferred. They must be simple, explanatory and showy colors, with contrasting or adornments. They will faithfully represent the facts without distorting the data, without changing the scales.

Abbreviations

The abbreviations are convenient because they open the space and include the lecture, but you must use them with care not to confuse the lector. The use of conventional abbreviations is not free, a bell that is limited to certain contexts and subject to certain rules; so, in general, you cannot use the abbreviations in any place in the text.

These rules will help you to use the abbreviations effectively:

- To define an abbreviation, write the complete term the first time you use it and the symbol with the abbreviation in parentheses

- Not included in the title in the abstract.

- Do not invent abbreviations (unless it is a long term that uses the menudo y for what does not have a standard abbreviation).

- No prayers with abbreviations.

Units of measurement

The measures of length, height, weight and volume should be provided in metric units (meter, kilogram or liter) or in multiple or sub-multiple decimals.

Temperatures must be expressed in degrees Celsius (ºC). The blood pressure must be measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

For hematological, clinical chemistry and other measurements, the authors must provide measurements according to the International System of Units (SI).

All clinical laboratory results will be reported in SI units or permitted by this. If traditional units are desired, these are written in parentheses. Example: glucemia: 5.55 mmol / L (100 mg / 100 mL).

After any numerical value, the symbols are written leaving a space between the numerical value and the first letter of the symbol.

The names of units that have special names are written with their original graphics, in international form.

When the units that have special names are accompanied by numerical value, the corresponding symbol must be written in preference.

If you think it is necessary, you can write the complete name, in singular and in small letters, in all cases. Ejemplo. 10 W or 10 watt; 2.8 to 2.8 ampere; 35 V or 35 volt.

The units in the plural llevan for what must write 10 mg, no 10 mg
