Publication rules
The journal of research, innovation and technology in health Crea Science of the Evangelical University of El Salvador (UEES) is a biannual published journal that publishes scientific articles derived from academic or professional research in the national and international fields for the training and updating of your readers
Publication formats
Scientific research article (original results), reflection article (analyzes results of other research), review article (must include at least 30 bibliographical references), case report (focuses on the methodological experience: no literature review, with literature review, a series of cases or systematization of several cases), scientific essay with consulted sources or bibliographical references.
Process of choosing articles
The articles received in digital format are initially reviewed by the members of the Editorial Committee to verify that they comply with the basic formal elements. Once this process has been completed, the author or authors are notified of the receipt or returned with the corresponding instructions.
Once this requirement has been met, the document is sent to readers specialized in the topic of the article, an anonymous and confidential process that yields an evaluation subject to the consideration of the Editorial Committee. When an article is accepted conditioned to changes, the author (s) must forward the version with the included observations and, if it disagrees with any of them, attach the respective argument. Once a consensus has been reached on the content and methodology exposed, the document is sent to a style editor and returned for the author to review the final version and approve it in the established period.
All articles that present research with interventions on human beings must have the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of the UEES, installed in the Vice-Rector for Research and Social Projection (VRIPS), or of another committee of this nature legally constituted. A copy of the approval letter must be attached and cited in the methodology section of the article.

Recommendations for drawing tables and figures
Tables and tables
They are made following the models that are explained below. The content of the data must be explained before the table or table, which does not mean transcribing said data. Tables and tables should be referenced in the text; In addition, the number and title are written at the top of the table. Fundamentally, the difference between tables and tables is that tables are used to present predominantly textual information, while tables offer numerical information, figures, percentages, values.
Examples:
The percentage of students who always feel overwhelmed by class schedules, the tasks they have to perform and the physical fatigue was low, since in general the majority thought that they never or rarely felt overloaded and for the free time between Most classes mentioned that it was rarely or sometimes (Table 1)
Figures
The term figure includes: photographs, graphics (not 3D), diagrams, drawings, maps, infographics, models. The explanation of the figure is made before, not after it has been placed. The figures must be in black and white. In addition, the number and the title are written in the lower part of the figure.
Example:
Prevalence of alcohol consumption
For once in a lifetime, consumption was 45.6% very similar. Tobacco consumption, for the last 12 months was 16.0% and for the last 30 days it was 14.2% (Figure 1).
