Acknowledgments

Scholarships (specialization, masters, doctorate, post-doc) and/or any other financial support for research should be included in the "Acknowledgements", with the name of the agency and the protocol number when it is possible.

Conflict of interest statement

Authors must report any sponsorship, funding, or benefit received from governmental, commercial, or non-commercial sources, and declaring that there is no personal, commercial, academic, political, or financial conflict of interest in the manuscript.

References
Only works cited in the text should be included in the reference list. References to conference proceedings, meeting abstracts, theses, dissertations, or monographs are not permitted. The reference list must follow the Vancouver style, with entries numbered in the order of citation in the manuscript, and include exclusively published articles or manuscripts accepted for publication (in press). Unpublished data, non-indexed sources, or inaccessible materials must be omitted. Journal titles should be written in italics and abbreviated according to the NLM Catalog (National Library of Medicine Catalog) (see NCBI database: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals/). For articles with six or fewer authors, list all names; for articles with more than six authors, list the first six followed by “et al.” For further details, consult the “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals” (J Am Med Assoc 1997;277:927 -34).

After pagination, insert the DOI when available. To retrieve DOIs, search reference metadata via Crossref (https://doi.crossref.org/simpleTextQuery). If no DOI exists, provide the journal’s article URL.

The format and reference punctuation should be as in the following examples:

  1. Numerical Citations: Use Arabic numerals in square brackets (e.g., [1]).
  2. Consecutive References: Separate the first and last numbers with an en-dash (e.g., [1-3]; [7-11]; [18-21]).
  3. If the surname of the author of the referenced article is given as “et al.” at the beginning and/or in the middle of the paragraph, it should be added after it, followed by its reference number in square brackets, for example: “et al. [8]”.

In-text citations

This journal adopts the Vancouver (numerical) style for citations. It is important to note that we exclusively use the indirect citation system (paraphrasing). The ideas, data, and conclusions of other authors must be integrated into the text by rewriting them in the author's own words, followed by the numerical indication of the source.

Examples:

. Single reference (end of paragraph):

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/World Health Organization (WHO) has extensively discussed COVID-19. To date, seven coronaviruses are known worldwide: HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, but only three are transmissible to humans [1].

. Two references (end of paragraph):

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) emerged in China in 2002 and was eradicated by 2003. In 2012, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was identified in Saudi Arabia. Although MERS-CoV is suspected to circulate in bats and camels, it remains uneradicated [2,3].

. Three or more consecutive references:

Contributing factors include childhood trauma, emotional stressors, and religious influences. Physical causes of vaginismus, such as endometriosis, infections, anatomical abnormalities, and sexually transmitted diseases, have also been documented [9-11].

. Isolated reference + range:

Secondary vaginismus occurs after a history of normal vaginal penetration and is often triggered by genital-area trauma [1,5-7].

. Single-author mention (beginning):

Ramos [2] highlights that wavelength is critical in photodynamic therapy.

. Multi-author mention (beginning):

Margonar et al. [4] report that combining hydroxyapatite with collagen or synthetic polymers enhances osteogenic properties and graft stability while reducing resorption rates.

. Single-author mention (mid-paragraph):

As Ramos [2] notes, wavelength selection is fundamental to photodynamic therapy efficacy.

. Multi-author mention (mid-paragraph):

Despite their efficacy in preserving bone volume, Bohner et al. [14] emphasize that these biomaterials exhibit slower integration compared to autografts due to the lack of osteoinductive properties, limiting their clinical applicability.
