PAPER SUBMISSION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AUTHORS
“C.V.P. MEDICAL” journal is an
official scientific journal of the Publishing House “VIPAPHARM” and aims
to contribute to the constant scientific training, so as to promote medical
research, technology and science, and the profession of medical, in general.
Our journal’s principles are:
- The researchers – authors are given the
opportunity to present their papers / research/ reviews (scientific work)
in detail, so that the readers will be able to value the true merit of
their scientific work. Therefore, there are no restrictions regarding the
length of the submitted scientific works or the number of the
bibliographical references.
- To offer a scientist, as well as an
ordinary citizen, the opportunity to have free access to knowledge, and be
able to freely express their inquiries, questions, opinions and comments
on any scientific publication, and also to be able to participate in a
forum related to the publication. For each one of our publications, a
special website has been formed entitled “comments on the published
papers”, where a reader will have the opportunity to express his comments,
opinions, inquiries, questions and observations, as well as to participate
in a forum related to the publication. In that website the author can
respond to reader questions and support his views. We believe that only
when a scientific publication is subjected to such an extensive public
judgment, will it be considered as deserving and of high quality in the
international scientific community.
In order to accomplish these
goals, we are publishing in Greek and in English language, articles in the
following categories:
- Researches. First-time published clinical,
experimental and theoretical studies. There are no restrictions
whatsoever, regarding the size of the text of the submitted scientific
work, or the number of the bibliographical references.
- Reviews. A combined presentation of the recent
evolutions on modern scientific matters. Reviews dealing with scientific
subjects of a wider interest are preferable, as well as those presenting
the conclusions of a series of research topics of the authors themselves. There
are no restrictions whatsoever, regarding the size of the text
of the submitted scientific work, or the number of the bibliographical
references.
In consultation with the
Editorial Manager, notices of scientific events may be published in a special
column of the journal.
All articles published in
C.V.P. journals of “VIPAPHARM” Publishing House should not be republished in
any way without the written approval of the chief editor.

the issues should start on a new page: title page, summary in Greek, main body
of the article, acknowledgments, summary in English, bibliography, each Table,

and initial of first name).
- The name of the Foundation or Laboratory
that indicates the origin of the article. If there are more than one, it

- Summary. The reviews and the research, regardless
their original language, must be accompanied by an English summary or both
a Greek and an English summary of 250 words minimum and 400 words maximum.
More specifically, the research summaries are divided in four paragraphs
entitled in turn: AIM, SAMPLE – METHOD, RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS.
Abbreviations of words or phrases are permitted, as long as they first
appear in a parenthesis beside the abbreviated word or phrase in the
summary. This is an absolute requirement of The Editorial Management,
especially for the English summaries, as it will be a very important criterion
for the acceptance of the journal by the International Journal Catalogues.
- Main body of the text. Reviews and articles of the
Constant Scientific Training are being capitalized. The chapters and
subchapters are numbered with the Arabic numbering system. The
subchapters’ numbering also includes the chapter’s or subchapter’s number,
which is subdivided as follows, i.e. 1.1, 1.2 or 1.1.1., 1.2.1., 1.2.2.,
etc. A table of contents in a separate page, is always preceding the main
body of the text of the Constant Scientific Training Articles.
All
research is divided, as a rule, in the following sections: (a) Introduction,

the text. The explanation of these abbreviations in the text is required even
when the explanation itself is given in the summary. On the contrary, the symbols
proposed by international associations do not need any definitions. Authors
should be very careful when using the most recent suggested terms and symbols
(i.e. vacteria is written in its Latin name and in
italics), as well as with its official rendering in Greek (i.e. “éóôéïêõôôÜñùóç” and not “éóôéïêýôôùóç”). The units of various
sizes should be mentioned in internationally accepted symbols. Finally, it is
advisable to avoid using verbs in the first person. In cases of research
concerning humans, it is required that it be mentioned that the Helsinki

mentioned by their common name.
