When submitting an article to the editorial board, it is recommended to strictly observe the following principles formulated on the basis of Recommendations for conducting, Describing, editing and Publishing research results in Medical Journals (ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, December 2023).

Our journal, the International Journal of Scientific Pediatrics, is based on the provisions of the Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association and adheres to principles aimed at observing ethical norms and rules for collecting information for research involving people. Before starting the research, the scientist must familiarize himself with the requirements for informed consent set out in the Helsinki

Scientific articles submitted to the "International Journal of Scientific Pediatrics" must be written at the request of IMRAD.

1. the topic of the scientific article submitted by the authors must correspond to the section of the electronic journal "International Journal of Scientific Pediatrics".
2. Since the articles are mainly on IMRAD request include the following sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion, each section is the basis for the scientific article.
3. Authors' submitted articles are checked by anti-plagiarism platforms. (https://antiplag.uz/, https://www.antiplagiat.ru/, etc.). When checking for anti-plagiarism, the uniqueness of the article should show at least 75-90%.
4. The text of the article should be typed in Times New Roman font, kegel 12, 1.0 line spacing. On all (right, left, top and bottom) pages of the text of the article a distance of 2 cm (margins) should be left. The total length of the article should not exceed 10-15 pages, and the minimum size should not be less than 6-8 pages (except for the title of the article, information about the author, abstract, and keywords) and the number of used references should not be less than 10-15 sources.

1. The titles of the table, figure or figure should be written at the bottom and the source should be clearly indicated. The provision of tables, charts and figures in the article serves as a source that enhances the quality of the article.
2. Articles can be submitted in Uzbek, Russian or English.
3. Authors submit their scientific articles electronically after registration in the submit material section..

  Each scientific article is accepted for publication after internal and external reviewing by experienced specialists and members of the editorial board. The authors are given 2 weeks to correct the identified errors and shortcomings. After the lapse of the provided 2 weeks in case of absence of the repeated submission of the corrected article to the editorial board the article consideration process is stopped. The publication of scientific articles is free of charge.

A SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS

1. Title of the article, information about the author of the article (city, place of work, position, number on the ORCID platform, if available) in Uzbek, Russian and English.
2. Abstract (100-250 words) in Uzbek, Russian and English.
3. Key words (5-7 words) in Uzbek, Russian and English.
4. Introduction
5. Materials and methods (Methods)
6. Results
7. Discussion
8. Conclusions/Recommendations
9. The list of the used literature (References), where it is recommended to use scientific sources published for the last 5 years.

RULES OF FORMING THE LIST OF USED LITERATURE IN THE JOURNAL "INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC PEDIATRICS"

The editors recommend that the authors, when preparing the list of references, take into account the citation policy adopted in the journal. The correct description of the sources used ( References ) not only demonstrates the quality of the research, but also guarantees that the cited publication will be taken into account when assessing the scientific activity of its authors. International indexing databases convert all submitted links according to a single structure. In this regard, this block of a scientific article is subject to strict requirements for unification and standardization. A common practice has become the use of bibliographic programs ( Reference management software ), for example Mendeley , EndNote , Zotero , etc., which greatly simplifies the work with sources:

https://endnote.com/

https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager
https://www.zotero.org

The journal adopted an adapted version of the Vancouver citation style, which is supported by the specified software and is one of the standards recognized by international databases.

The editors invite authors to get acquainted with the features of Vancouver Style and design examples:

Imperial website College London: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/administration-and-support-services/library/public/vancouver.pdf

- in the brochure on the official website of British Columbia Institute of Technology: https://www.bcit.ca/files/library/pdf/bcit-vancouverstyle.pdf

- on the official website of the Elsevier publishing house (Elsevier'sStandardReferenceStyles): https://booksite.elsevier.com/9780081019375/content/Elsevier%20Standard%20Reference%20Styles.pdf

Vancouver Requirements Citation Style in the presented samples are variable. The editors ask you to pay attention to the following:

- do not indicate the date of publication for journal articles (leaving only the year);

- the name of the journal (collection of conference materials, books) must be in italics;

- titles of articles (chapters in the book) are not italicized.

The editors ask the authors to pay special attention to the placement of the DOI identifier (if any), as well as to its relevance and correct presentation.

Vancouver style (Vancouver Citation Style)

Vancouver Citation Style - sequential numerical style: links are numbered in the course of their citation in the text; references in the text are placed in square brackets[15]; [15-23]; [1; 15; 34]. Sources in the list of references are numbered in the order of their mention in the text, and not alphabetically:

1.Errami M, Garner H. A tale of two citations. Nature. 2008;451(7177): 397–399.

2. Batkins P.J. ABC of Diabetes. 5th ed. London: Blackwell Publishing; 2003. 500 p.

Rules for describing Russian-language sources

The presentation of sources in Russian in the References raises a number of questions and is of particular difficulty. At the same time, the incorrect presentation of this information can lead to a significant distortion of statistics on citations of publications. If the cited article has a DOI, it must be specified. In the absence of a DOI, citation in MNBD is determined by the name of the first author and the output of the article (name of the journal, year, volume, number, pages). The mismatch of at least one letter or number in these elements leads to the loss of the link.

The editors ask the authors to pay attention to the following rules:

1. Titles of articles are translated into English.
2. The titles of the journals are transliterated, but not translated (if the journal does not officially use a parallel English title, the information is checked on the publication's website).
3. The names of the authors are transliterated. BGN transliteration standard.
4. Cities whose names are written in English must be given in English ( Moscow , etc.).
5. It is undesirable to include only the translated name of the conference, as this will complicate the search for the necessary material and may lead to the loss of the link.
6. At the end of the bibliographic description with the translation of the title of the article, an indication of the language of the article ( In Russ .).
7. The rules for formatting References apply to sources in any language: articles in Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and other Cyrillic languages should be formatted in the same way as Russian-language ones ( In Russ ., In Ukr . etc.).
8. Square brackets, if necessary, to bring the transliterated and translated versions of the name are not used. We recommend using the = sign.
