Original Research Article

The purpose of an Original Research Article is to present the research, together with its original findings and data, that the author has conducted themselves or has had a significant contribution in acquiring the data. Original Research Articles are considered a primary source. The authors aim to answer a research question by employing suitable methods and discussing their results within their hypothesis and the broader scientific context of their field. As such, an Original Research Article must include an introduction, a methods section, the results of the research, and a discussion.

Thesis Review

The StudentMedicalJournal warmly invites the submission of a concise summary, spanning 2-6 pages, derived from doctoral or bachelor/master theses. This summary should adhere to the conventional structure of an Original Published Article. The primary objective of this format is to enhance the dissemination of student research findings and streamline access to doctoral scientific work.

Review articles

In a review article, authors aim to answer a research question by identifying relevant works, assessing their quality, summarizing the evidence, and interpreting the results.The type of review is determined by the depth of the research and the extent to which the research question has been addressed in the existing literature. SMJ encourages the submission of the following types of reviews: overview, systematic review, and narrative review.

Research Letter

Research letter is a concise report of original research, which not exceed 1000 words of text and may include 2 figures or tables maximum. Letters must not duplicate other materials previously published or submitted for publishing. Research letter must include Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. Online supplementary material is only allowed for absolutely necessary methods description but not additional results or discussion.

Methodological Paper

A methodological paper concentrates on the methods and procedures employed within a research project. It offers a comprehensive description, evaluation, and occasionally a comparison of research methods, techniques, or tools. SMJ does not mandate a specific structure, allowing authors the flexibility to design their own format, tailored to best convey their method and the message they wish to send to the scientific community.
