We accept six types of articles as follows:

1) Original articles

2) Case Reports

3) Meta-analysis 

4) Systematic reviews

5) Narrative review

6) Case series

1) Original articles

These articles typically include randomized trials, intervention studies, studies of screening and diagnostic tests, laboratory and animal studies, cohort studies, cost-effectiveness analyses, case-control studies, and surveys with high response rates, which represent new and significant contributions to the field.

2) Case Reports

A detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. Describe an unusual or novel occurrence and, as such, remain one of the cornerstones of medical progress and provide many new ideas in medicine.

3) Meta-analysis

This article consists of a  quantitative, formal, epidemiological study design is used to systematically assess previous research studies to derive conclusions about that body of research. Outcomes from a meta-analysis may include a more precise estimate of the effect of treatment or risk factor for disease, or other outcomes, than any individual study contributing to the pooled analysis. The examination of variability or heterogeneity in study results is also a critical outcome.

4) Systematic reviews

This article involves a detailed and comprehensive plan and search strategy derived a priori, with the goal of reducing bias by identifying, appraising, and synthesizing all relevant studies on a particular topic. Often, systematic reviews include a meta-analysis component which involves using statistical techniques to synthesize the data from several studies into a single quantitative estimate or summary effect size.

5) Narrative review

This article has aim to show how concepts, theories, and methods have developed within particular subject areas. The key differences between concepts, theories, and methods are • Concepts: Terms and ideas used to describe a particular phenomenon. • Theories: Ideas that have been developed to explain a specific phenomenon. • Empirical research: Research that has already been undertaken to observe the phenomena.Methodology: The philosophical approach adopted by a researcher to study a particular phenomenon and not to be confused with methods. • Methods: Techniques such as questionnaires, observation or interviewing are used to collect data.

6) Case series

This article consists of a group or series of case reports involving patients who were given similar treatment. Reports of case series usually contain detailed information about the individual patients. This includes demographic information (for example, age, gender, ethnic origin) and information on diagnosis, treatment, response to treatment, and follow-up after treatment.
