Author Guidelines

Scope and Accepted Article Types

Archiv Euromedica publishes peer-reviewed articles in clinical medicine, biomedical science, and public health. We accept the following article types:

• Original Research Articles
• Case Reports and Case Series
• Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses
• Narrative Reviews

To help authors choose the appropriate article type and prepare their manuscript accordingly, the following table outlines the key differences:

• Do not repeat ORCID iDs or email addresses in the affiliation block.
• All author names must appear in a single line before the affiliation list.

Structure

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract must be structured and concise, with a maximum length of 250 words. It should summarize the essential elements of the article without references, abbreviations (unless standard and widely recognized), or undefined acronyms. The abstract should provide a clear overview of the study, including:

• Background: The rationale or context for the study.
• Aims: The specific aim or research question.  
• Materials and methods: A brief description of the study design, population, interventions, and primary methods of analysis.
• Results: The most important findings with numerical data where applicable.  
• Conclusions: The main interpretation and implications of the findings.  
• Keywords: 5–10 terms (MeSH terms recommended)

Introduction

• The Introduction must provide the scientific background and rationale for the review. Authors should:
• Clearly define the research problem and explain its clinical or scientific significance.
• Summarize the current state of knowledge using relevant and up to date sources.
• Identify inconsistencies, unresolved questions, or gaps in the existing literature.
• Explain why the review is necessary and what contribution it is intended to make.
• Maintain a logical progression from the general context to the specific problem addressed.
• Avoid presenting results, conclusions, or detailed methodological information.

The Introduction must end with a clear transition to the Aims section, where the primary aim and, where applicable, the specific research objectives are stated.

Aims

State the primary aim of the study in a concise and specific form. If applicable, include secondary objectives.

Materials and methods

All review articles must include a Methods section that describes how the material was identified, selected, and analyzed. Authors should provide the following:

• Type of review: Specify whether the article is a narrative review, systematic review, scoping review, or meta-analysis.
• Types of studies included: Indicate the categories of literature considered (e.g. clinical trials, observational studies, meta-analyses, case reports).
• Sources: List the databases and other sources searched (e.g. PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library).
• Search strategy: Briefly describe the keywords, time frame, and language restrictions, if any.
• Selection criteria: Define the inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies.
• Data extraction and synthesis: Explain how information was collected, grouped, and summarized.
• Time frame: State the period covered by the literature search. Use subheadings where appropriate.

Results

• This section must present the main findings of the review in a clear and structured manner. Authors should:
• Organize content thematically or by research question, not chronologically unless justified.
• Summarize key data or trends identified across the selected studies.
• Use tables or figures, if needed, to present grouped information (e.g. study characteristics, outcomes, limitations).
• Report on the number and types of studies included (e.g. how many were clinical trials, meta-analyses, cohort studies).
• Avoid interpretation or commentary. Do not discuss implications or relevance; reserve this for the Discussion section.
• Maintain objectivity by presenting evidence without selective emphasis or speculative statements.

Use subheadings to structure this section if the material is extensive. If no suitable findings were identified for certain questions, this must be clearly stated.

Discussion

The Discussion section must interpret the main findings of the review in the context of current scientific and clinical knowledge. Authors should:

• Summarize the principal findings without repeating the detailed content of the Results section.
• Compare the evidence from the included studies and identify consistencies, contradictions, and gaps in knowledge.  
• Explain the clinical or scientific relevance of the findings.  
• Critically assess the quality, strength, and consistency of the available evidence.  
• Distinguish conclusions supported by the reviewed evidence from assumptions or hypotheses.  Identify unresolved questions and indicate priorities for future research.  
• Avoid repeating information presented in the Introduction or Results sections.  
• Avoid introducing new data, studies, or findings that were not presented in the Results section.

The Discussion must remain focused, critical, evidence based, and free from unsupported speculation. Subheadings should be used when they improve clarity and logical organization. Limitations The manuscript must include a separate Limitations section. Authors should:

• Describe the limitations of the reviewed evidence, including methodological weaknesses, heterogeneity, risk of bias, small sample sizes, incomplete reporting, or limited generalizability, where applicable.
• Describe the limitations of the review process, including restrictions related to databases, search period, language, study selection, data extraction, and synthesis.
• Explain how these limitations may affect the interpretation and reliability of the conclusions.
• Avoid generic statements that are not directly related to the reviewed material or the methods used in the article.

References

• Use Vancouver citation style.
• Cite sources in the text using numbers in square brackets, for example [1], [2], [3,4].
• List references in numerical order according to their first appearance in the manuscript.
• Review articles should normally include not fewer than 45 relevant scientific sources.
• All references cited in the text must be included in the reference list, and all references in the list must be cited in the text.
• References must be directly relevant to the statements they support.
• Each reference should include complete bibliographic data and DOI where available.
• Citations’ DOIs should be presented as active hyperlinks, for example: https://doi.org/10.1000/j.journal.2026.01.001.
