How to submit a paper for publishing in the journal Vnitřní lékařství/Internal Medicine and the editorial process involved

Please send your paper to the following e-mail addresses:

svacina@seznam.cz and fama@fa-ma.cz.

Attach a scanned copy of a statement of originality of your paper and its supplements (tables, charts, diagrams, photographs and images) with your signature to the paper and request for publishing. Thestatement also includes consent to make the data from the paper available for the MEFANET portal, a non-profit educational project of Czech and Slovak faculties of medicine. If you have used supplements taken over from other publications, permissions from their authors and publishers need to be included. If you only use some of the data or only adapt part of it, exact quotations of the source have to be stated.

The publisher will hand your paper over to the editor-in-chief for evaluation and decision on its acceptance or rejection. The publisher will notify the main author (the first author named) of the opinion of the specialist editors by e-mail no later than within 2 months from the paper receipt.

An accepted paper will be reviewed and the publisher will e-mail possible proposals for modification by the reviewers to the main author.

After the editing and layout completion the publisher will send the paper to the main author for author’s proofreading in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat). The author will add his comments in this programme through the correction system or will make the corrections to the printed text that he will then scan and send to the publisher, or will type his corrections giving their exact locations in the text in a text file in the DOC (MS Office) or TXT/OTD (Windows XP and higher) format. The term for returning the proofread text is 1 week from its sending by the publishers.

The journal will be referred to in the abbreviated form of Vnitr Lek.
