Open Access Policy

This journal provides free immediate access to all articles. We are proud to make the research freely available and to contribute to a greater interchange of global knowledge.

Conflict of Interest Statement

Whenever a relationship exists between authors and any public or private organisation, which may generate a conflict of interest, this possibility must be communicated and it will be included in the article. In case that a conflict does not exist, it should also be mentioned in the title page. Editors should set and regularly monitor a conflict of interest policy for editors, reviewers, editorial board members, editorial staff, and authors.

Authorship

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as coauthors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be named in an Acknowledgement section. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors (according to the above definition) and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the author list of the manuscript, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Informed Consent for publications

Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out by ICMJE recommendations for reporting about patients.

Identifying information should not be published in written descriptions, photographs and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) has given written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires the patient be shown the manuscript to be published.

Complaints

The following types of complaints may be submitted:

• Authorship complaints
• Plagiarism complaints
• Multiple, duplicate, concurrent publication/Simultaneous submission
• Research results misappropriation
• Allegations of research errors and fraud
• Research standards violations
• Undisclosed conflicts of interest
• Reviewer bias or competitive harmful acts by reviewers

Policy for Handling Complaints

All complaints will be acknowledged (within three working days if by email). If possible a definitive response will be made within a week. If this is not possible an interim response will be given within two weeks. Interim responses will be provided until the complaint is finally resolved. If the complainant remains unhappy, complaints should be escalated to the editor, whose decision is final.

Please write your complaint with journal title, vol. no., issue no., paper ID, paper title, page no. preferably in writing by email to: archiveuromedica@gmail.com .

Data sharing

We fully support the Data Sharing Principles of the World Data System

All who produce, share, and use data and metadata are stewards of those data, and have responsibility for ensuring that the authenticity, quality, and integrity of the data are preserved, and respect for the data source is maintained by ensuring privacy where appropriate, and encouraging appropriate citation of the dataset and original work and acknowledgement of the data repository.

Reproducibility

As we deal with reproducible research data, there are 2 basic considerations. The first is to provide evidence of the correctness of the results. The second is to enable other researchers to make use of the methods and results. Adopting a reproducible workflow means making relevant data and, where applicable, code available so that other researchers can verify and extend the reported findings. This approach facilitates the transmission and reuse of scientific knowledge.

Ethical oversight

Ethical oversight includes the following policies and requirements.

Policies on consent to publication

The journal requires authors to protect patient privacy and confidentiality. Identifying information, including names, initials, hospital numbers, photographs, or other details that may permit identification, must not be published unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and written informed consent for publication has been obtained from the patient or, where appropriate, from a parent or legal guardian. When an individual may be identifiable, the patient must be shown the material intended for publication before consent is obtained. Nonessential identifying details must be omitted. Masking only the eye region in photographs is not sufficient to ensure anonymity. Authors must state in the manuscript when written informed consent for publication has been obtained. The journal follows the ICMJE Recommendations concerning patient privacy and informed consent.

Publication on vulnerable populations

Vulnerable populations are defined as groups who are at increased risk of receiving a disparity in medical care on the basis of financial circumstances or social characteristics such as age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, spirituality, disability, or socioeconomic or insurance status.

Medical research involving human participants must comply with recognized ethical standards, including the WMA Declaration of Helsinki.

Ethical conduct of research using animals

Journal “Archiv Euromedica” retains the right to reject any manuscript on the basis of unethical conduct of either human or animal studies.

Researchers must have respect for animals' worth, regardless of their utility value, and for animals' interests as living, sentient creatures. Researchers must be respectful when choosing their topic and methods, and when disseminating their research. Researchers must provide care that is adapted to the needs of each laboratory animal.

Researchers are responsible for considering alternatives to the use of animals in research. The principles of replacement, reduction, and refinement must be applied before, during, and after the study. Animals should only be used when the expected results are important for humans, animals, or the environment. Source: Ethical Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Research.

Ethical conduct of research using human subjects

All investigations on human subjects must include a statement that the subject gave informed consent. A researcher must consider all possible consequences of the research and balance the risks for human subjects with proportionate benefit. Confidentiality and anonymity are closely connected with the rights of beneficence, respect for the dignity and fidelity and should be granted without compromise.

Handling confidential data

Good confidentiality practice in research might be defined as a balance between the contemporary public concerns against the benefits of using data for research.

Intellectual property

As editors of Journal Archiv Euromedica we attempt to strike an appropriate balance between protecting authors’ rights and providing flexible reuse rights for readers. To this end, Copyright Notice, our Open Access Policy and Creative Commons licensing (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International) are addressed.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Post-publication discussions and corrections

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the

author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal’s Editor-in-Chief or publisher and cooperate with

them to either retract the paper or to publish an appropriate erratum.

Article Processing Charges (APCs) policy

All articles published in Archiv Euromedica are open access and freely available online immediately upon publication. An article processing charge (APC) of EUR 200 is charged for each published article and covers the journal’s publishing services. Since the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, articles by Ukrainian authors have been published free of charge.
