2. All authors have approved the submission and have obtained permission for publish work. Also, the authors of all submitted manuscripts must declare whether they have any conflicts of interest.
3. Researchers have proper regard for conservation and Human and animal welfare considerations. Attention is drawn to the'Guidelines on ethics for medical research : use of animals in research and training'. Any possible adverse consequences of the work for populations or individual organisms must be weighed against the possible gains in knowledge and its practical applications. Use of humans and experimental animals: Research carried out on humans must follow international and national regulations. When experimental animals are used, research carried out must follow internationally recognized guidelines on animal welfare, as well as local and national regulations.

ArticleSections Format:
Title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper. The Title Page should include the author(s)'s full names and affiliations, the name of the corresponding author along with phone and e-mail information. Present address (es) of author(s) should appear as a footnote. Abbreviations in the title are not allowed.
Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should be 150 to 300 words in length. Complete sentences, active verbs, and the third person should be used, and the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited.
Following the abstract, about 3 to 10 key words that will provide indexing references should be listed.
Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Materials and Methods should be complete enough to allow experiments to be reproduced. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer's name and address. Subheadings should be used. Methods in general use need not be described in detail.
Results should be presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the author(s)'s experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense. Results should be explained, but largely without referring to the literature. Discussion, speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the results but should be put into the discussion section.
Discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on this topic. State the conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. The Results and Discussion sections can include subheadings, and when appropriate, both sections can be combined.
Results and Discussion can be presented jointly if preferred.
Acknowledgments of persons, grants, funds, etc should be brief.
Tables should be kept to a minimum and be designed to be as simple as possible. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes.

References:
- All references to publications made in the text should be presented in a list with their full bibliographical description.
- In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses. When there are more than two authors, only the first author‘s surename should be mentioned, followed by ’et al‘. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to distinguish the works.
- References in the text should be arranged chronologically (e.g. Kelebeni, 1983; Usman and Smith, 1992 and Agindotan et al., 2003). The list of references should be arranged alphabetically on author's surnames, and chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-authors, the following order should be used: Publications of the single author, arranged according to publication dates - publications of the same author with one co-author - publications of the author with more than one co-author. Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1992a, l992b,etc.
- Names of authors and title of journals, published in non-latin alphabets should be transliterated in English.
- A sample of standard reference is " 1th Author surname A, 2th Author surname B , 3th Author surname C. 2013. Article title should be regular and 7 pt . Karun J. Clin. Emerg. Med., Add No. of Volume (Add No. of Issue): 00-00."
- Both full or abbreviated journal title types are acceptable in references.

Paper Submission Flow:
Article Review Process and Proof
Firstly, all manuscripts will be checked by Docol©c, a plagiarism finding tool. An double blind reviewing model is used by KJCEM for non-plagiarized papers. The manuscript is reviewed and edited by two reviewers selected by section editor (SE) or deputy SE of KJCEM, who are research workers specializing in the relevant field of study. Also, a reviewer result form is filled by reviewer to guide authors. One unfavourable review means that the paper will not be published. After review and editing the article, a final formatted proof is sent to the corresponding author once again to apply all suggested corrections durring the article process. The editor who received the final revisions from the corresponding authors shall not be hold responsible for any mistakes shown in the final publication.
Declaration
After manuscript accepted for publication, a declaration form will be sent to the corresponding author who that is responsible to coauthors' agreements to publication of submitted work in KJCEM after any amendments arising from the peer review.
Charges to Authors
No peer-reviewing charges are required for manuscripts submitted to the KJCEM. But, there is a $75 fee for the processing of each primary accepted paper after an extensive review via Docol©c. Papers cannot move forward in the editing process until the submission fee has been received. Authors are able to pay the processing fee during the submission process using a credit card. Payment can also be made by PayPal or MoneyGram. Bank to bank transfers are accepted.
The submission fee will be waived for invited authors, authors of hot papers, and corresponding authors who are editorial board members of the Karun Journal of Clinical and Emergency Medicine (KJCEM). The Journal will consider requests to waive the fee for cases of financial hardship (for high quality manuscripts and upon acceptance for publication). Requests for waiver of the submission fee must be submitted via individual cover letter by the corresponding author and cosigned by an appropriate institutional official to verify that no institutional or grant funds are available for the payment of the fee. Letters including the manuscript title and manuscript ID number should be sent to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. It is expected that waiver requests will be processed and authors will be notified within one business day.
