The work should comply as much as possible the following structure:
The liability for the contents of the published articles belongs 100% to the authors.
Page settings: left 30 mm, right 25 mm, up 25 mm, down 25 mm, line spacing 1.
Abstract
The abstract must include enough information so that the readers may appreciate the nature and significance of the topic, the research method, the results and conclusions of the work. The summary is not an introduction; it gives an overview of the essential results, doing more than simply numbering the issues presented in the paper.
The abstract will be typed in Times New Roman fonts, 10 points, italic, capitals. It must contain between 100 and 200 words, line spacing 1. It must be translated into English.
Key words
Select 4-7 key words or phrases that catch the essence of the paper. List them in the order of their importance. Key words will be translated into English.
Introduction
Its role is to establish the context of the presented work. It highlights the cited literature and summarizes the current status of the investigated issue.
Formulate the purpose of the work under the form of hypotheses, questions or issues you are treating and briefly explain the approach and the arguments. Whenever possible, present the results that the study may reveal (prove).
Body
Carefully organize the body of the work by using headings and subheadings in order to give clarity to the content. Consider the following: the terminology used in the field in order to describe any experimental subjects or procedures used in order to collect and analyze data; include detailed methods, so that readers can follow the presentation; formulate your results clearly and briefly; analyze and interpret in detail the implications of the results and the impact thereof, both globally and specifically.
The title and number of the tables will be placed above, and the titles and numbers of the figures, below. When applicable, the source will be mentioned. The number of the tables and figures will be placed in the body of the text, in brackets, where there are references to them, for instance: (figure 1); (table 1)
Graphs must be clearly drawn, so that they are legible when photocopied in black and white.
Number all equations and formulas used by placing their numbers between brackets, to the right.
Explain the abbreviations and acronyms first time they appear in the body of the text, although they have already been defined in the summary.
Conclusions
You must include a section dedicated to conclusions. They can recap the main points of the work, but not mirror the summary. They may include aspects regarding the importance of the work or provide suggestions on applications thereof, further directions of study.
References
Each citation must be noted within the text through use of simple sequential numbers. A number enclosed in square brackets, placed in the text of the report, indicates the specific
reference. Citations are numbered in the order in which they appear. Once a source has been cited, the same number is used in all subsequent references in the report. No distinction is made between electronic and print sources, except in the citation reference details
Research and Science Today (RST) journal accept submissions of case reports and case reviews
All case-based articles published in RST journal:
Technical notes focusing on a specific patient(‘s) case and/or containing identifying information will also require informed consent for the case to be published from the patient or guardian/relative where the patient is unable to give consent.
You must have signed informed consent for the case to be published (images, case history and data) from the patient(s)/patient’s guardian/relative before submitting.
If the patient is deceased or non-contactable:
Authors must make extensive efforts to seek informed consent from the next of kin (guardian/relative).
Please ensure that all patient data is anonymous and the patient can not be identified from pictures, descriptions, medical history, patient/hospital numbers in medical images etc. (See more Khaled El Emam, Sam Rodgers, and Bradley Malin, Anonymising and sharing individual patient data)
Here are instructions on methods of citation that need to used: IEEE Citation Guidelines
Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets on the same line as the text, before any punctuation, with a space before the bracket.
Examples
“. . .end of the line for my research [13].”
“The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1].”
“Scholtz [2] has argued. . . .”
“For example, see [7].”
“Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 22] have suggested that. . . .”
REFERENCE LISTS
To finish citing sources, a numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list is comprised of the sequential enumerated citations, with details, beginning with [1], and is not alphabetical.
