Instructions to Authors. Page Report.

The Page Report

Each algorithm or clinical case will be accompanied by a Page Report Example: (017 A) Breast Mass. The data included in the report will be used for drawing up the keyword list, which will allow the database Med-Online and the establishment of connections between its pages.

The Page Report will be made by the author(s) of each algorithm by filling out the Page Report table which may be downloaded from the Med-online website (page_report.doc) or requested from the Project Secretary.

The Page Report will be sent by e-mail, on a diskette or in print to the Project Secretary, who will introduce the data into the online database. The Romanian version of the Page Report will be done by the project secretary.

(Code) and Title:

(Code) - The Code of the chapter in which the algorithm is included. The code for Clinical Presentations will be found in the List of the University of Calgary, Canada. The code for Diseases and Case Reports will be found in the ICD 10 list elaborated by WHO.

Title -The name of the algorithm, indicating the content as clearly as possible.

Authors:

Contributions from all categories of specialists, physicians or academic staff, are encouraged. The algorithm authors are free to choose their collaborators. The responsibility for the page content belongs entirely to its authors and reviewers.

References :

The published sources used for developing the algorithm will be cited selectively. The recommended reference style (webmaster: Recommended reference style with examples) is the one used by the Science magazine, but other styles used by prominent medical journals will also be accepted.

Reviewers

Each algorithm must be reviewed and approved by another expert, chosen by the authors from among colleagues or collaborators they trust. Reviewers will be informed that their names will be included in the Page Report. We hope that the mention of the reviewers' name will increase their responsibility in the algorithm analysis and will represent a reward of their work.

Contributions, updating

The database is meant to be dynamic, updated whenever necessary and open to contributions from users. Valuable suggestions or contributions (recommendations, observations, case records, imaging etc.) included into the algorithm or in the attached pages will be acknowledged by mentioning the contributor's name in the Page Report.

Page Editor

The responsibility for the page maintenance and updating as well as related e-mail correspondence will belong to one of the authors of the algorithm or another expert in the field designated for this job.

Keywords

Keywords mentioned in the Page Report will be included in the list of terms used for database search. The list must be as detailed as possible and reflect all the important aspects of the algorithm. Insufficient coverage of the content by keywords will make the page be missed by the database search. Therefore it is recommended to also include accepted synonyms of concepts as well as accepted terms in literature. Example.

Last update of the page:

To be maintained by the page editor.
