Original Article

- Experimental: spontaneous submission with peer review. A scientific publication that compiles primary data and constitutes the final product of experimental research generating new knowledge. It aims to establish statistical associations between variables under study. This section includes clinical trials. The structure of such articles follows the IMRaD format: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (may include a Conclusions section). Maximum length: 5,500 words; maximum number of tables and/or figures: 8; maximum number of references: 100.

-Observational: spontaneous submission with peer review. These articles systematically compile data from observing real-world events where the researcher has no control. They include cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies. Requires corresponding statistical analysis and follows the IMRyD pattern as described above. Maximum length: 5,500 words; maximum number of tables and/or figures: 8; maximum number of references: 100.

Review

- Systematic: spontaneous submission with peer review. Summarizes results from available and carefully designed studies, providing a high level of evidence on the effectiveness of health interventions. It involves selecting publications on a specific topic and analyzing the information to present discussion and conclusions. A clear description of search criteria and study inclusion/exclusion criteria is required. Follows the IMRaD structure.
This type of publication includes descriptive reviews without statistical analysis and quantitative or meta-analysis reviews that integrate systematically, using statistical techniques, information from previous publications. Articles must adhere to PRISMA guidelines. Maximum length: 5,500 words; maximum number of tables and/or figures: 8; maximum number of references: 120.

- Bibliographic: spontaneous submission with peer review. This is a thematic or monographic review addressing a specific topic. Unlike systematic reviews, it follows scoping review guidelines and is considered an update on the topic. The structure does not follow the IMRaD format but should minimally include an introduction on the topic, development, discussion, and/or conclusions. Maximum length: 5,500 words; maximum number of tables and/or figures: 6; maximum number of references: 100.

Case Report

Spontaneous submission with peer review. Based on describing specific cases or issues that, due to their significance or complexity, provide important information to peers or serve as a basis for new studies. Although these articles do not strictly follow the IMRaD structure, they should include an introduction, case presentation, and discussion with conclusions. Examples include describing an unexpected adverse event in a patient, original results from analyzing a sample or product, novel findings from an oversight task, etc. Maximum length: 3,000 words; maximum number of tables and/or figures: 5; maximum number of references: 20.

Regulatory Approach

Spontaneous submission. This is a thematic review where the author, on behalf of an institution, takes a well-founded position on a specific regulatory topic.

Maximum length: 3,000 words; maximum number of tables and/or figures: 5; maximum number of references: 20.

Technical Report

Spontaneous submission with peer review. These articles comprehensively describe products or processes that serve as inputs for other research. Some documents may be the first report on a completely new technology. In other cases, substantial improvements and/or expansions of existing technologies may be reported, which should be thoroughly compared with those used in the field. Maximum length: 2,500 words; maximum number of figures or photographs: 3; maximum number of references: 20.

Letter to the Editor
