Clinical Practice Review and Meta-Analysis is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes reviews and meta-analysis articles in basic, clinical, and related biomedical disciplines.
Clinical Practice Review and Meta-Analysis is issued on a continuous basis as a primary electronic journal. Clinical Practice Review and Meta-Analysis is a direct continuation of MEDICAL SCIENCE REVIEW.
Ethics and authorship. Clinical Practice Review and Meta-Analysis editors endorse the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki and expect that all investigations involving humans will have been performed in accordance with these principles. If your manuscript uses human subjects, animals, or any related specimen that require an ethical approval from your institution also known as your Institutional Review Board (IRB), independent ethics committee (IEC), ethical review board (ERB), research ethics board (REB), or Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), please upload it to our system along with your submission files. If ethical approval is entirely in another language other than English, please translate this ethical approval into English, and this should be signed by a corresponding author. Please upload the original and translated copies.
The corresponding author takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal’s editorial office during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process. In addition, the corresponding author is required to provide all details of authorship, ethics committee approvals, conflicts of interest forms and statements, and other supporting documents that the editorial office may request. The corresponding author is expected to be available throughout the entire process and respond to editorial queries in a timely manner. Although the corresponding author is primarily responsible for all correspondence with the editorial office, we recommend that this correspondence is communicated with all authors.
Anti-plagiarism verification. At every stage of the submission and review process, your manuscript will be electronically checked for plagiarism by more than one electronic method. Because some online publications may have a delay in their availability and access by electronic identification, we are obliged to do repeated checks up to the time of pre-publication. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, that is detected at any stage will result in rejection of the manuscript and all paid processing fees will be forfeited.
Conflict of interest. Authors of research articles should disclose at the time of submission any financial arrangement they may have with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript or with a company making a competing product. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial decision, but if the article is accepted for publication, the editors will usually disclose this information in the Authors section. Journal policy requires that reviewers, associate editors, editors, and senior editors reveal in a letter to the Editor-in-Chief any relationships that they have that could be construed as causing a conflict of interest with regard to a manuscript under review. The letter should include a statement of any financial relationships with commercial companies involved with a product under study.
Permissions. Materials taken from other sources must be accompanied by a written statement from both the author and publisher giving permission to the Journal for reproduction. Obtain permission in writing from at least one author of papers still in press, unpublished data, and personal communications.
