Updated rules for submitting and accepting papers (January 2022) Uruguayan
Journal of Internal Medicine is the official organ of the Society of Internal
Medicine of Uruguay, it is an independent scientific publication, created with
the purpose of disseminating scientific production and quality knowledge. Sections The
following publications are made in the Uruguayan Journal of Internal Medicine: Reviews:
these are systematic and updated reviews on clinical, diagnostic or therapeutic
aspects. The experience of the authors in the revised topic is valued. They
will present an introduction that contains the objective and the methodology
used to carry out the review, then the body of the same, ending with the
bibliography used. Clinical
cases: these are reports on clinical cases of either exceptional or common
diseases that, due to some unusual event, are worthy of sharing. They will
present an introduction, the objective of the presentation of the clinical
cases, their report, the discussion and comments that arise from them, ending
with the bibliography used. Remember that if they contain images, they should
not identify the clinical case. Original
papers: these are reports on original basic or clinical research. They will
present the following items: 1)
Introduction – consists of a brief review of previous works related to the
topic to be investigated 2)
Objectives of current research 3)
Methodology- with data on description of the design, population and its
selection criteria, intervention carried out, statistical analysis carried out.
The information recorded should allow other researchers to reproduce the
experiment in detail. 4)
Results - will be presented in a clear way, as text, graphs and/or tables 5)
Discussion- must be a synthesis of the confrontation of the data obtained in
the study with respect to the relevant scientific literature, which, in
addition, interprets the similarities or contrasts found. It should include an
analysis of the scope of your findings and their limitations. 6)
Conclusions – the most relevant findings will be indicated, that is, those that
constitute a contribution 7)
Acknowledgments 8)
Bibliography consulted Letters
to the editor: these are brief communications about clinical notes, preliminary
communications, communications in relation to works already published. Editorial:
this is a document written by the Editorial Committee or a guest with
information on the thematic domain of the journal. Reception
of manuscripts The
works are received exclusively by email to: revistauruguayamedicinainterna@gmail.com This
will be the channel of communication between the Editorial Board and the
authors of the submitted manuscripts. The contact author will receive an email
confirming receipt. The date of receipt will be considered when all the
necessary documentation for the analysis of the submitted manuscript is
available. Editorial
flow The
works received will be evaluated by the Editorial Committee. If they meet the
publication requirements and are considered to be of interest to the journal's
target audience, they will be sent to be arbitrated by suitable professionals
designated by the aforementioned. The arbitration of the work will be with the "double
blind" methodology and may be assessed by one or more peers, depending on
the complexity and theme of the same. The works approved by the referees will
be reviewed for style and bibliographic correction. From
this triple evaluation will emerge: 1. Non-acceptance 2. Acceptance
of the article without modifications 3.
The need to make modifications by the authors taking into account the
suggestions made. 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-performance 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. Manuscript The
following items are considered integral parts of a manuscript: Presentation
letter. It must contain: a) Job
title b)

author: name – phone – email d)
ORCID identifier of each author (https://orcid.org/register) e)
Contribution of each author to the article in question (if possible to
quantify, put the percentage). Indicate next to the author's name and in
parentheses the items indicated below. For these purposes, we remember that an
author is considered to be someone who has participated in at least two of the
following aspects of a publication: •
Conception and design of the work. •
Collection of data or performance of experiments. •
Analysis and interpretation of data or results. •
Statistical analysis of the data or results. •
Drafting of the manuscript. •
Critical review of the manuscript. Text.
It must begin with the title of the article, subtitle when appropriate,
abstract and keywords (preferably use the terms mentioned in the Medical
Subject Headings, of the Index Medicus and no more than 5). All
the data indicated above must be in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Subsequently,
there will be the body of the article WITHOUT DATA that allows identifying the
authors or the center where the work was carried out. • Do
not number the pages. • Do
not use calls, lines or boxes. • Do
not use any automatic tools such as numbering or bullets. Abbreviations.
Only standard abbreviations will be allowed. Abbreviations will be avoided in
the title and abstract. When an abbreviation is used for the first time in the
text, it will be in parentheses preceded by the full term, except if it is a
common unit of measure. Playback
of images. In the case of tables, graphs or images already published, the
express authorization of the author must be obtained for their reproduction. If
they are previously published in sources that adopt the Creative Commons cc-by
license, it is enough to specifically detail their author and publication site. Thanks.
When deemed appropriate, include in acknowledgments those people or entities
that have collaborated in carrying out the work, but who do not meet the
authorship criteria. The financial support and material means received will
also be included in the acknowledgments. Bibliography.
The publication of bibliography must follow the norms of Vancouver. They must
be in parentheses and in superscript format, you cannot use the automatic
bibliographic references tool that Word has. This
information must be in CALIBRI 12 font, A4 size, single spaced, .doc or .docx
format. Graphs,
images and tables. They must come in the same text, at the end of it. Correctly
identified the site where they go. It must be indicated in the text and they
must be identified with the same number as the one referred to in the text.
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. that have the name of the patient, it SHOULD NOT
appear. Interest
conflict. In all cases, a declaration of conflict of interest must be made. A
conflict of interest, actual or potential, exists when an author (or the
author's institution) has personal or financial relationships that may
inappropriately influence (bias) the author's actions. These relationships
range from those whose potential is negligible to those with sufficient
potential to influence scientific judgments. Financial relationships
(consulting, share ownership, fees, reports and expert opinions) are the
easiest conflicts of interest to detect; however, conflict may occur for other
reasons such as personal relationships or academic rivalry, among other causes. Anti-plagiarism
system The
Uruguayan Journal of Internal Medicine has an anti-plagiarism system (Similar
Check) so we remind authors that it is imperative that the articles are their
intellectual property in their entirety. 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 its endorsement must be mentioned. The
works that are sent for evaluation must have been prepared in compliance with
international recommendations on clinical research (Declaration of Helsinki of
the World Medical Association [https://www.wma.net/policy/]) and with
laboratory animals. Informed
consent If
photographs or patient data are reproduced, these should not be identifying the
subject. In all cases, the authors must have obtained the patient's written
informed consent authorizing their publication, reproduction and dissemination.
The original works must have the endorsement of the bioethics committee of the
institution where it is carried out. The 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

first time in the text (do not use the automatic bullets and numbering tools to
enumerate). No more than 40 bibliographic citations. References will be
identified by Arabic numerals in parentheses and in superscript. If they are
discontinuous, separate them with commas: (2,8,11,19) and continuous ones with
a hyphen (5-7) This numbering will always appear in the article, whether or not
it is accompanied by the name of the authors. References
