For detailed instructions on bibliographic formatting, see «Reference list guideline». The principle statements are the following:

  • References should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited in the text, NOT in alphabetical order.
  • The quantity of cited sources should be limited to 30 in original articles, and 60  – in reviews;
  • Each reference should be cited in the text, tables, or figures in consecutive numerical order by means of Arabic numerals appeared in square brackets.
  • List up ALL the authors or editors in reference list. If there are more than four, list the first three, plus et al. Invert all names –authors, editors, translators, compilers – first & middle initials trailing without periods.
  • The names of journals are set in italics and abbreviated according to the List of NLM Catalog by the National Library of Medicine. If a journal is not indexed for Medline, you should use its full title. It is unacceptable to reduce the name of the article or abbreviate the title of the national journal (if it does not have NLM Title Abbreviation or ISO Abbreviation).
  • A complete print journal reference includes the following: Authors' surnames and initials; Title of article and subtitle, if any; Abbreviated name of journal; Year; Volume number; Issue number; Part or supplement number, when pertinent; Inclusive page numbers.
  • Reference list should be presented in AMA reference style (AMA style).

Tables

Enumerate your tables, give those a heading and clearly marked columns that would be easy to read and comprehend. Please make sure that table data is in line with the numbers in the body of the text (but does not simply duplicate them).

Graphical material

Reduce graphical material to minimum (unless the nature of your study dictates otherwise). It is obligatory to provide references to all of your supplementary materials (tables, graphs, figures etc.) within the body of the text.

  • Illustrations (graphics, charts, diagrams, drawings) should be rich in contrast and clear. This material should be created in separated files, saved in *.jpeg, *.bmp or *.gif formats, and inserted in the final variant of the submitted paper. Do not use MS WORD tools to insert any elements (arrow, text) in the illustration due to the high risk of its loss.
  • Photo and screen shots (e.g. results of diagnostic imaging, photographs, screenshots, digital artwork, etc.) should be presented both in a manuscript and as separate files submitted via our web form in *.jpeg, *.bmp or *.gif formats (in format *.doc и *.docx if there are notes). The absolute minimum for acceptable resolution is 300 dpi, though higher is preferable. Do keep in mind that image files should be tagged with numbers corresponding to the enumeration within the manuscript. In addition, file description should provide the caption of your image as it would appear in the paper (exp.: “Fig. 1. Elliott Proctor Joslin, M.D. (1869-1962).”).

If manuscripts give figures previously published in other journals, the author is obliged to provide the permission to publish image(s) in the academic journal "Annals of the Russian academy of medical sciences" otherwise it will be considered as plagiarism (See "Publishing Ethics").

Author Fees

This journal charges the following author fees.

Article Processing Charge

Price: 1500.00 (USD)

OBLIGATORY PAYMENT

Editorial of the journal "Annals of the Russian academy of medical sciences" requires single Article Processing Charge (APC) per submitted manuscript to defray its editorial and production costs. Charge rate is fixed - 1500 USD (one thousand five hundreds).

Payment is processed after Step 7 — Confirming the Submission — of the manuscript submission process when the author downloads the paper. Without payment transaction the manuscript will be not sent to the editor for reviewing. Payment can be made by:

  • Bank Wire Transfer. Transaction should be made to the bank details of "Paediatrician" Publishers, LLC (see. here). After making a transfer, you should scan the payment document and send it by e-mail: vramn@spr-journal.ru. In confirmation of successful sending the manuscript to the editor, you will receive an official notification from to your e-mail.

ATTENTION! Payment of the manuscript review process does not guarantee the publication of a manuscript in the academic journal "Annals of the Russian academy of medical sciences"! The fee is not refundable in the case of refusal to publish after reviewing or failure to review the paper for publication by objective reasons (failure to comply with the authors of author's copyright provisions; negative reviews; author(s) failure to meet a deadline for manuscript corrections; refusal to adopt/correct/update the manuscript in accordance with the requirements of the editorial board; violation of publication ethics guidelines).


Optional Open Access:

Price: 1200.00 (USD)

OPTIONAL PAYMENT (this will NOT abrogate the Article Processing Change payment)

Through Optional Open Access, authors of accepted papers are given the option of paying an open access publication charge to make their paper freely available online immediately via the journal website, meaning that readers will not need a journal subscription to view open access content. If an author does not choose to pay the open access publication charge, their paper will be published in the normal manner, and will not be made freely available online immediately. Therefore there will be a mixture of non-open access and open access papers within each journal issue. Open access articles will be clearly indicated on the journal's online contents page. In order to view the non-open access content, a current subscription to the journal will be required. Online, print and combined subscription options will continue to be available to institutions. 


We do not want the payment to become the challenge for good publication. If the authors do not have source of funds to pay for the article publication, the cost of publication may be reduced or canceled by the editorial board decision (the authors can send the formal request certified by their head on the company letterhead where the study has been performed). Persons who can receive the discount or cancelation of the payment for the publication are listed below:

  • authors of studies performed only at the expense of the authors' personal funds (when even the employer was not and cannot sponsor the study and publication);
  • members of editorial board (when authoring team consists predominantly of the board’s members);
  • students, interns, residents and postgraduates (if they are the only author and in the absence of external funding for their work).
