  • The manuscript must be unpublished, that is, it has not been published in other journals. Nor must it have been submitted at the same time to another magazine.
  • The manuscript respects the confidentiality of the information and in the case of research, attests that it was approved by a duly formed Research Ethics Committee. The Journal reserves the right to request the approval document from the Research Ethics Committee. The Revista HISPANO AMERICANA DE DERMATOLOGY PEDIATRICA reserves the right to request the approval document from the Research Ethics Committee.
  • The authors must declare that they have freely obtained the informed consent of the patient or their legal representative, in the case of minors or subjects with intellectual disabilities, for the publication of the case and its photographs. In addition to consent, for minors with the capacity to understand the information (applies from 8 years to the age of majority), their informed assent must be obtained.
  • In the letter of presentation of the manuscripts, the authors must declare that they have the informed consent of the patients and the endorsement of the institutional ethics committee and send it to the Journal, when required.
  • The manuscript respects copyright and guarantees the inclusion of all authors. Likewise, it is guaranteed that anyone who does not meet the authorship criteria has not been included.
  • An author is one who has made a significant scientific and intellectual contribution in the conceptualization and planning, in the interpretation of the results, in the writing of the manuscript and in the approval of the version submitted for publication.
  • The sources used must be cited clearly and taking into account the technical standards adopted by the Journal. Anti-fraud and good publishing practices policies include that fragments of other published works should not be copied, nor from other authors (plagiarism), or from the same author (self-plagiarism); If bad practice is detected, the work will be rejected; If plagiarism is identified in an already published article, it will be removed from the Electronic Journal.

  • The manuscript must not omit relevant quotes from previous original research related to the topic, nor cite articles that were not consulted.
  • Citation of secondary sources, or citation citation, should be used sparingly and primarily when it is not possible to access the original text.
  • It is a breach of ethics to cite for complacency, called exchange citations, the result of agreements for reciprocal citation. All citations must be well justified and based on quality and scientific relevance.
  • Self-plagiarism is the copying of fragments or paraphrasing of articles previously published by the authors, without the respective citation. Citing previous works of the authors is valid, as long as the reference is properly attached.

Examples of references

List the first six authors followed by et al.

  • Journal articles: Title of the article.  International abbreviation of the journal.  Year;  volume: initial and final page of the article.  DOI
  • Books: Title of the book.  Number of the edition.  Place of publication: editorial;  year.
  • Book chapters: Authors of the chapter Chapter title.  In: Editors of the book.  Title of the book.  Number of the edition.  Place of publication: editorial;  year;  the opening and closing pages of the chapter.
  • Electronic medium: Title [web site]. Place of publication: publisher;  date of publication.  Date of consultation.  URL electrónica exacta.

Illustrations and pictures

Each of the illustrations and tables should be sent in an additional file to the text of the article. They are supplementary and not duplicative of what is said in the text. Each item can carry a reasonable number of photos; for case reports, the maximum is three. The number of photos can be increased when the didactic characteristics of the article merit it, in the opinion of the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Committee. 

Photographs

The photographs must be sent in a file attached to the article, preferably in TIFF format (Tagged Image File Format);  the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format does not allow an optimal impression since it is a compressed file in which an indeterminate number of pixels have been removed to achieve its compression.  If the photo is color should be sent in high resolution, ie at least 300 dpi (dots per inch);  if black and white, the optimal resolution for printing is 600 dpi.

They must be numbered with Arabic numerals, have a short title and be self-explanatory. Histopathology photographs should indicate the type of staining and magnification at which the image was photographed. Always with the patient’s eyes covered in order to protect their identity.

If they have been previously published, the complete and exact reference of the site on which it was published must be noted and attached the written permission of the publication that holds the right of reproduction (copyright).

Graphs and tables should be sent in their source files (Excel, Power Point) and not sent scanned as it prevents their correction and proper diagramming. Like figures, they should be numbered, cited in the text and should have an illustrative legend and be explanatory; the units used for the different variables listed should also appear.
