The journal mainly publishes Original Articles, Case Reports, and Reviews.
Original Articles are full descriptions of original works that describe experiments, studies, and other investigations. Manuscripts can focus on local, regional, or global scales, but must be placed into a context which allows readers from any location to be able to grasp the significance of the work.
Case Reports are descriptions of both novel and clinically significant cases or case series. The journal will accept case reports that have a very high potential to advance the field or provide significant information for researchers and practitioners in the field.
