Manuscript Requirements:

These Instructions conform to the generally accepted requirements for manuscripts submitted to medical and biological publications and with ČSN ISO 690/1966. The Publication process is governed by the recommendations of the International Commission of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) described in "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts (URM) Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (www.icmje.org) and the recommendation the Council of Science Editors (CSE), promoting ethical practices in science publishing, communications in the sciences by educating authors, editors, and publishers and other related matters. (http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/services/draft_approved.cfm).
Each submission is evaluated by the Editors and a Review Process. The reviewers will be selected by the Editor or Editorial Board. Submissions are evaluated in a double-blind reviewing process. By double-blind we mean that authors don't know who their reviewers are, and reviewers don't know who the authors are. After the publication has been accepted it is customary, under the rules, to obtain a positive recommendation by two experts in the topic. If diverging opinions exist, a third expert or the Editorial Board may cast a deciding vote. Comments by experts will be given to authors anonymously. The author will respond in three weeks. Upon receipt of expert views, the Manuscript is either accepted or rejected.
All articles ought to be original and contain information not published elsewhere. Conditionally, it is possible to publish findings which are in print of another publication or have been published in without a review (for example abstracts).

1. The cover letter must include a statement of the author. The cover letter must attest that the manuscript represents original work, and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The cover letter should also state that all authors meet criteria for authorship and that the authors will sign a statement attesting authorship, disclosing all potential conflicts of interest, and releasing the copyright should the manuscript be acceptable for publication. All manuscript must be accompanied by a Declaration by the main author that it is an original work. It is understood that the acceptance for publication is met by approval by all participating authors, who agree with its publication. If accepted, the manuscript will not be offered for publication in a periodical in a different language, without the consent of the Publisher.
2. Each accepted work includes a Statement transferring the Copyright to the Publisher.
