About the journal
Basic information
The Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz is an international journal of biological and biomedical research published by the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (Oswaldo Cruz Institute) and welcomes original contributions from research scientists throughout the world. It publishes 8 regular numbers and one suplement a year.
Founded in 1909, through the visionary ideals and dedicated effort of Oswaldo Cruz himself, it is today one of the most highly cited journals published in Latin America.
The journal has gradually changed from publishing only the results of research produced by the Institute to become an international research journal.
To briefly refer to the journal, the short title Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz is recommended regarding bibliographies, footnotes, as well as bibliographical strips and references.

Instructions to Authors
Scope and policy
The Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz is a multidisciplinary journal which publishes original research throughout the fields of tropical medicine (including pathology, field epidemiology and clinical studies) medical and veterinary parasitology (including protozoology, helminthology, entomology and malacology), and medical microbiology (virology, bacteriology and mycology). It particularly welcomes basic and applied research in biochemistry, immunology, molecular and cell biology, physiology, pharmacology and genetics related to these fields. Short communications are also considered. Review articles are invited. The journal publishes eight issues constituting one volume per year. Occasionally papers presented at symposia or congresses are published as supplements.
Submitted papers must be written in Portuguese or English. English of low quality is a major cause of delay in publication and we strongly advise authors with English as a foreign language to have their manuscripts checked by someone with English as a first language, preferably a scientist.
Submission of a paper to the Memórias is understood to imply that is has not previously been published (except in an abstract form), and that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Responsibility for the accuracy of the material in the manuscript, including bibliographic citations, lies entirely with the authors.
Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed; acceptance will be based on scientific content and presentation of the material.
Submission of manuscripts will only be accepted when submitted electronically using the following link: http://submission.scielo.br/index.php/mioc/login.
With this service you can submit manuscripts, you will be able to check the content of your submission, the electronic file will be used for editorial assessment and online refereeing, and the editorial decision on the manuscript will be communicated to you.
By using this service you will guarantee fast and safe submission of your manuscript, and speed the assessment process.
The manuscript should be prepared according to Author Guidelines
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if accepted for publication, copyright of the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all form and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Memórias.

• Illustrations: figures and tables must be understandable without reference to the text.
- Figures presented in tiff format with a minimum of 300 dpi and photographs must be sharply focused, well contrasted, and if mounted onto a plate, the figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers. Magnification must be indicated by a line or bar in the figure, and referenced, if necessary in the caption (e.g., bar = 1 mm). Plates and line figures should either fit one column (8 cm) or the full width (16.5 cm) of the page and should be shorter than the page length to allow inclusion of the legend. Letters and numbers on figures should be of a legible size upon reduction or printing. A colour photograph illustrates the cover of each issue of the Journal and authors are invited to submit illustrations with legends from their manuscript for consideration for the cover.
- Tables should supplement, not duplicate, the text and should be numbered with Roman numerals. A short descriptive title should appear above each table, with any explanations or footnotes (identified with a, b, c, etc.) below.
•Short communications: should communicate rapidly single results or techniques. They should occupy no more than three printed pages including figures and/or tables. They should not contain excessive references. References should be cited at the end of the paper using the same format as in full papers. A brief summary and three key words must be provided.
• Alternative format: manuscripts may be submitted following the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" produced by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors also known as the Vancouver Style. In this case, authors should follow the guidelines in the fifth edition (Annals of Internal Medicine 1997; 126: 36-47, or at the website http://www.acponline.org/journals/resource/unifreqr/htm) and will be responsible for modifying the manuscript where it differs from the instructions given here, if the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Authors should also follow the Uniform Requirements for any guidelines that are omitted in these Instructions.
Once a paper is accepted for publication, the authors must provide:
• an affidavit, provided by the Editorial Office, signed by all authors. Authors from different countries or institutions may sign in different sheets containing the same basic statement;
• a copyright assignment form, provided by the Editorial Office, signed by the corresponding author.
•Page charges: there will be no page charges.
•Proofs: one set of page proofs will be supplied for the author to check for typesetting accuracy, to be returned by the stipulated date. No changes to the original manuscript will be allowed at this stage.
