Preparing the Manuscript
At Medires Publishers, we are committed to the dissemination of high-quality research across various fields including science, technology, and medicine, with the ultimate aim of contributing to the betterment of societies worldwide. To streamline the publication process and maintain the integrity of our content, we have outlined the following guidelines for manuscript submission:
Manuscript Submission: We welcome submissions of high-quality manuscripts either through our online submission portal or via email attachment to the designated editor's email address for expedited review and evaluation.
Research Article:
A research article is widely accepted in scientific discourse, being rooted in original research and offering innovative insights. There is no specific limit on words, figures, tables, or references for a research article. However, for extensive manuscripts, the ultimate decision lies with the publisher, determined on a case-by-case basis, contingent upon the manuscript's merits. Including an abstract is obligatory. The scientific discoveries presented in the article must be supported by thoroughly documented experimental details outlined in the Material & Methods section. The study's results should be confirmed using established statistical methods, and any form of scientific misconduct in data handling and reporting will not be tolerated.
Review Article:
A review article serves as a condensed overview, analyzing recent advancements in a specific topic. It provides a succinct summary of established facts discussed in prior publications by various authors. While review articles offer an up-to-date reference to existing literature and delve into the current state of a particular domain or technology, they do not present novel research, findings, or experimental results. Review articles do not have specific limitations on words, figures, tables, or references, but they are required to include an abstract.
Mini Review:
A mini-review is an article concentrating on recent advancements within a specific domain, delivering a conclusive summary of the latest developments and prevailing trends in the respective research area. The primary distinction between a review article and a mini-review lies in the manuscript's length. While review articles offer a comprehensive and detailed overview of the topic, mini-reviews succinctly present all pertinent details. Mini-reviews have a word limit of 2000, allowing only 6 figures/tables and up to 25 references. Nevertheless, an abstract is mandatory.
Short communication:
A short communication aims to disclose a novel finding not previously reported, with the primary objective of being the first author(s) to present it. The essential criterion for a short communication is the uniqueness and innovation of the research finding being reported. Typically, it provides a concise description of any newly discovered feature, promising technique, or methodology arising from ongoing research. Unlike detailed background information on the scientific or technical problem, short communications focus on brevity. The publication process for short communications is expedited, with the highest priority given during review to ensure prompt publication. The constraints include a limit of 1500 words, 7-25 references, and 4 figures/tables. An abstract is mandatory for publication.
Case report:
A case report is derived from a meticulous clinical assessment and the medical history of the patient(s), highlighting significant and rare/unusual observations encountered in clinical practice. It includes a concise presentation of the case, its background, and its importance. The report provides a synopsis of symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the medical condition, incorporating details on negative findings, side effects, or adverse drug reactions. A thorough clinical diagnosis should be meticulously documented, supported by pertinent evidence from medical examinations, such as photographs, x-rays, scans, and radiological images, while ensuring patient identity confidentiality. The word limit is 2500 words, allowing for 7-30 references with no restrictions on figures/tables, and an abstract is obligatory.
Opinion:
An opinion article is a concise piece expressing the perspectives of the author(s) on a previously published topic or article by other author(s). It delves into various attributes and parameters associated with the subject, offering either support or presenting a counter-opinion. Crucially, opinions are substantiated with evidence, and the review of literature is confined to articles that validate the author's viewpoint.
Opinion articles undergo editorial review rather than peer review. To be eligible for publication, they must adhere to a word limit of 1000 words, include 2 figures/tables, and reference a maximum of 10 sources.
Letter to Editor:
A letter to the editor can be crafted to provide commentary, criticism, or evaluation of an article published in any Medires Group journal. However, only scientifically relevant criticism, discussions, or objections will be considered for publication. Any references to unpublished data are prohibited, and any claims or rebuttals must be thoroughly substantiated and validated before submission as a 'letter to the editor'. These letters undergo editorial review rather than peer review, with a word limit of 1000 and a reference limit of 10.
Editorial:
An editorial, often referred to as the "editor's view" or "editor's note," provides insights into the current volume, issue, or articles of a specific journal. Editors from the Medires Group editorial board or guest authors/editors can submit editorials, and the chosen topic should align with the journal's scope and aims. Editorials may also address general topics within the technical field/domain covered by the journal. The word limit for editorials is 1000 words, and there are no restrictions on the number of reference.
e-Book:
Special Issue Compilation: Special Issues featuring over 10 articles have the chance to be featured in a dedicated e-book. Published by Medires Books, this e-book encapsulates the advantages synonymous with Medires—ensuring high availability, visibility, and widespread and swift dissemination.
Medires publications appear in a wide range of abstracting and indexing databases. Different journals are listed in different databases. See our dedicated abstracting and indexing page for a detailed breakdown of journals per repository.
Upon successful submission of the manuscript, the author will receive due acknowledgment. All manuscripts undergo plagiarism and pre QC checks. Once accepted in pre QC, a distinguished editor with expertise in the relevant field is assigned. The editor holds the authority to accept, reject, or recommend revisions based on the manuscript's quality. The editor may also delegate the manuscript review to 2-3 reviewers of similar expertise, who independently decide on acceptance, rejection, or revision based on the paper's quality and novelty. Articles require acceptance from at least 2 out of 3 reviewers (majority) to be accepted. In case of suggested revisions, the corresponding author is notified for necessary amendments.
If 2 out of 3 reviewers (majority) recommend rejection, the article is rejected, and the author is informed accordingly. Revised manuscripts are scrutinized against reviewer comments and published upon their acceptance. The editor's decision is final at any stage of the editorial process. Articles submitted elsewhere, published articles, or those with plagiarism and unattributed content are strictly rejected. MEDIRES adheres to a fast-track 14-day peer-review process (*provided all details are accurate), and accepted articles are made available online in full text and PDF formats within 3-5 days of acceptance under "Article in Press."
