Instructions to Authors
Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original articles and reviews of recognized scientists that deal with all scientific medicine. AMS opens the possibilities for young, capable scientists. The journal would like to give them a chance to have a publication following matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists. Thanks to that they will have an opportunity to present their study results and/or receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far.
The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts of recognized scientists about the educational capacity, in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
Full length (original) articles should not exceed 8 printed pages (4400 words including tables and references - about 20 typewritten double-spaced 8½" 11" sheets). Each article should contain structured abstract (200-250 words), divided such as the text of the manuscript. Subject matter should be organized under suitable headings and subheadings such as: Structured Abstract, Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments and References. Footnotes should be avoided and their contents incorporated into the text. Manuscripts should be in their final form when submitted.
Case reports should be limited to 1000 words and 10 references - approximately 4 manuscript pages - and should include a synopsis, standard abstract of 100 words maximum, 3-5 key words/phrases for indexing purposes, and a short title. The text should consist of short Introduction, description of Case Report, Discussion and Conclusions. If tables and/or figures are used, an equivalent number of words must be deducted from the total.
Short communications should be no more than 1000 words - 4 manuscript pages, excluding structured abstract (100-150 words), references, name(s) and address(es) of the signers. There should be no more than 10 references, no more than 2 tables or 1 figure, and no more than 5 authors, all of whom should sign the copyright release form. Keywords and name and mailing address of all authors should be included.
Review articles should follow the format for a regular article, but should be submitted only after consultation with the Editors. Each article should contain unstructured abstract (100-150 words) and up to 5 key words.
Ethical consideration
Papers describing animal experiments can be accepted for publication only if the experiment conforms to the legal requirements in Poland as well as with the European Communities Council Directive of November 24, 1986 or the National Institute of Health Guide (National Institute of Health Publications No. 80-23, Revised 1978) for the care and use of Laboratory Animals for experimental procedure. Authors must provide a full description of their anesthetics and surgical procedures. Papers describing experiments on human subjects must include a statement that experiments were performed with the understanding and consent of each subject, with the approval of the appropriate local ethics committee.
Submission of manuscripts
All manuscripts written in English should be submitted to Editorial Office by electronic Editorial System of Archives of Medical Science to: http://panel.termedia.pl/?ams. Tables and figures should be submitted separately; linked files such as images or charts should also be provided. Authors are requested not to submit the manuscripts by post or e-mail.
In of legal aspects
In sending the manuscript the author(s) confirm(s) that (s)he has (they have) not previously submitted it to another journal (except for abstracts of no more than 250 words) or published it elsewhere. The author(s) also agree(s), if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, to automatic and free transfer of copyright to the Publisher allowing for the publication and distribution of the material submitted in all available forms and fields of exploitation. The author(s) accept(s) that the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the written consent of the copyright holder, i.e. the Publisher. Appropriate Transfer of Copyright Agreement form is available online and will be also sent with page proof to corresponding author.
All manuscripts submitted should be accompanied by a covering letter including signed confirmation of the above and confirming that this publication has been approved by all co-authors (if any), as well as by the responsible authorities at the institution where the work has been carried out. Generally no more than six authors should be listed (except multicenter studies). All authors must sign the Authors Guarantee Form (available online) and send to Editors with the manuscript. Materials previously published should be accompanied by written consent for reprinting from the relevant Publishers. In the case of photographs of identifiable persons, their written consent should also be provided. Any potential conflict of interest will be dealt with by the local court specific to the Publisher. Legal relations between the Publisher and the author(s) are in accordance with Polish law and with international conventions binding on Poland.
Anonymous review
All manuscripts will be subject to a process of anonymous editorial review (the name of authors and their affiliations will be disclosed to the referees only when the review process is complete). In order to achieve this, the first page and the acknowledgements page will be removed from the manuscripts sent to referees. Manuscripts will be sent to 2 independent reviewers, and the information about acceptance should be limited to 4 weeks.

- The second page contains the abstract which should be written in an informative style. Avoid generalizations and give essential details of research findings. For indexing purposes, a list of 3–5 key words (according to Index Medicus) in English and not included in the title should be typed below the abstract.
- The textual material of the article should be organized in a standard form with separate: Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and References. Review articles should be divided into sections and subsections as appropriate without numbering.

Like all other figures, block should be prepared within a rectangular frame to fit within a single or double column width of 84 and 174 mm, respectively, and a maximum page height of 226 mm.
- Each figure should include scale magnification bar; do not use magnification factors in the figure legends.
- All figures, whether photographs, graphs or diagrams, should be numbered consecutively throughout. Do not give explanations on a back of illustrations.
- Only good drawings and original photographs can be accepted; negatives, photocopies or xerocopies cannot be used.
- On the back of each illustration indicate its number and top.
- Color illustrations can be included, but the expense must be borne by the authors. The cost of color print for every successive 8 pages is 200 euros (VAT exclusive) irrespective of the number of color pages, i.e., the price remains the same whether there is one or eight pages. The Publisher makes out the bill to the Author.
