Indications for Authors

The journal Ginecologia.ro is a magazine that has a peer review process, dedicated to the publication of original surveys, observations, scientific surveys and reviews in various fields of obstetrics and gynecology. The language of publication of the magazine is Romanian, with the title, abstract and keywords in English.

Citing references from Ginecologia.ro magazine can help increase citations. Thus, it is important to recall the use of recent citations in the journal, especially by other authors during the editing of the manuscript, avoiding self-citation.

The purpose of the Peer Review Process

Thank you for your effort and expertise in contributing to the revision of the manuscripts, without which it would be impossible to maintain the high standards of the journal.
The peer review process is a critical element of scientific publication and one of the most important cornerstones of the scientific process. The peer review process has two important functions:

- Acts as a filter: properly check manuscripts before publication;

- Improves the quality of research: rigorous evaluation carried out by other experts in the field;

The user guide of the reviews adheres to the standards of the Elsevier Editorial System.

Ethical considerations

If the scientific project involves human or laboratory animals, the authors must state in the manuscript that the protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the institution where the research was carried out. Experiments on live vertebrate animals or higher invertebrates must be shown to be ethically acceptable and in accordance with institutional and national guidelines or regulations for laboratory animals. Any form of record that can identify a patient must be excluded from the content of the paper. When clinical photographs of patients are presented, the patient's consent must be obtained before the manuscript is submitted, which is the responsibility of the author. If the manuscripts present medical research involving human subjects, the authors must include a statement confirming the informed consent obtained from all subjects, in accordance with the World Declaration of the Helsinki Medical Association. The publisher reserves the right to reject any document on ethical grounds. All authors are responsible for adhering to guidelines on good publishing practice.
