The journal Czech Gynaecology is a trade-reviewed journal of ČLS JEP published six times a year. Articles are published in Czech, Slovak and English. The journal publishes original scientific work, overview articles, case studies, trade society news, book reviews, personal reports and letters to the editors. Only a manuscript that has not been and will not be published in a different periodical shall be accepted for publication. Published articles are the property of the publisher and potential reprinting is possible only with the publisherʼs consent and by quoting the original source.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

The text part of the manuscript must be prepared in a word-processing program (WORD), font Times New Roman, size 12, margin width 2.5 cm, double-line spacing. (1,800 characters – 1 manuscript page = 30 lines x 60 characters per line). The text itself shall be written in straight setting, without indentations, bulleting, hard enters at the end of the line or tabulators. All pre-settings must be cancelled. In the manuscript document follow this chronology: front page, abstract and key words (on one page, in English on another page together with a translation of the paperʼs title) in mother tongue, the actual text, references, tables, and captions.

Figures and graphs – a separate file (do not insert into the WORD document) in JPG, TIF or EPS and high resolution – 300 DPI.

Tables – separately, numbering them chronologically.

Use of others’ materials – diagrams, figures, graphs, etc. – can be only published with the written consent of the author’s rights holder.

Valid grammar rules (progressive valid wording) shall be followed. Trade terminology, abbreviations and symbols shall correspond to valid norms, in particular SI.

Attach page numbers to the manuscript in this chronology: front page, abstract, key words, actual text, references, caption texts, typeset tables. Attach figures separately.

The manuscript shall include an imprimatur of the leading institution and a statement that the paper has not been and will not be published in a different journal.

Recommended manuscript length

Original paper: 1,500–2,000 words, i.e. 5–8 standard pages.

Practical paper and case studies: 500–1,000 words, i.e. 2–3 standard pages.

Abstract articles (additional physician training): 1,000–2,000 words, i.e. 3–6 standard pages.

A paper longer than this should be agreed upon with the editors in advance.

A MANUSCRIPT CONSISTS OF THESE PARTS:

1. Front page

• A brief and apt article title in Czech and English
• Surname(s) of the author(s), abbreviated first name (Novak J., Novaková H. In case of a different institution, mark with a superscripted number.)
• Title of the institution from which the paper originates including the full name and all titles of the chief or director of the institution (for all authors)
• Contact address of the main author, telephone number, e-mail address to which correspondence regarding the manuscript will be sent.

In addition, a statement regarding the responsibility for the paper or sources of support (names of grants, etc.) may be enclosed.

2. Abstract and key words

Abstract – should encompass all that was investigated and found, no common statements and prospects.

It shall be available in Czech and English for all articles. If necessary, the English version will be corrected by the editors. The editors reserve the right to refuse a paper due to language reasons. A structured abstract should not exceed 300 words including the chapter titles. The chronology of abstract chapters follows:

Objective, Design, Setting, Methods, Results, Conclusion, Key words.

The length of each abstract should not exceed 300 words.

Key words – 3 to 10 words (max. 255 characters) should aptly represent the discussed issue. Please pay special attention to their selection because they will be used for your paper in Index Medicus or other reference journals and on the Internet. We therefore recommend using key words as used in Index Medicus.
