- The European Journal of Medical Research publishes papers from all areas of medical research of international interest. The main focus is on »clinical research«.
- The language of publication is English (in British or American version). Authors whose native language is not English are requested to have their paper checked by a native speaker. Manuscripts should not require language editing.
- Please send a data file with the text and figures as jpg files.
The authors attest that their contribution has neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. They agree that the copyright of the paper passes to I. Holzapfel publishers as soon as the contribution has been accepted for publication. - Reviews and original papers should not exceed 6 pages (including figures and tables), short communications should not exceed 2 pages.(1 page corresponds to 6 000 keystrokes or 1 000 words approximately.)
- Title of the paper, headings, abstract and key words should be fully descriptive
- The structure of the paper should be as follows: Titlepage: Title of the paper,
Names of the authors preceeded by the initials of the surnames, Institute, Clinics, University and Town, Abstract*,
Key words, List of Abbreviations (only uncommon abbreviations),
Contents: Short Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, References, Address of the corresponding author with telephone and fax number and Email.
Tables should be inserted at the point of the text where they have to be placed logically. Figure legends are to be placed at the end of the paper.
* We point to the importance of the Abstract for the publication in PubMed (MEDLINE). A division of the abstract into the following paragraphs is recommended: Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusions - Quotations of references in the text should primarily be from journals indexed in PubMed which have proven their significance. There are two forms of citation, either numerically [1] or by name (Breuckmann et al. 2005), (Gresser and Gleiter 2002).
- In the list of references contributions must be in alphabetical order according to the names of the authors if the authors are cited by name in the text.
By numerical citations in the text the numbering should begin with [1] and follow ascending order. The list of references should be in numerical order.
References should follow the following form of presentation:
Breuckmann F, Neumann T, Kondratieva J, Wieneke H, Ross B, Nassenstein K, Barkhausen J, Kreuter A, Brockmeyer N, Erbel R. Dilated cardiomyopathy in two adult human immunodeficiency positive (HIV+) patients possibly related to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Eur J Med Res. 2005; 10: 395-9.
Gresser U, Gleiter CH. Erectile dysfunction: comparison of efficacy and side effects of the PDE-5 inhibitors sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil--review of the literature. Eur J Med Res. 2002; 7): 435-46. Review. - Figures:
All descriptive lettering in the figures should be big enough to be eligible for reading after lessening ca 2 times. The first words describing the axes should be in capital letters. The symbol legend should be within the figure frame, not sticking outside. No upper and right-hand axes. No bold for the lettering. Lines should be no thicker than 1 pts and all of them of the same thickness. Decimals are separated by a dot, not a comma. There should be only decimals, not hundredths of more digits, after a dot. Do not send color slides as figures – make them black and white. Do not send automatic software outprints as usable figures, there are nearly always unacceptable. All fragments of the figure should be blocked together.
Figures in black and white will be published without any charge.
Color figures can be published if the authors cover the additional printing costs.
