Peer Review Process
Articles sent to Ars Veterinaria are usually reviewed by two specialists of the area. Exceptionally, when there are discrepancies between analyses, the article can be forwarded to a third party evaluator. The Editorial Board is sovereign in their decisions.
Publication Frequency
Ars Veterinaria is published quarterly
Open Access Policy
This journal offers immediate and free access to its content, following the principle that providing free scientific knowledge to the public provides greater worldwide democratization of the knowledge.
Archiving
This Journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create and distribute archiving system among participating libraries and allows you to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration.
Care and Use of Animals
All manuscripts submitted to Ars Veterinaria, involving animal experimentation, must be accompanied by an statement certifying that the research has followed established standards for the humane care and use of animals. Only investigations that have followed high standards for the humane care and use of animals in research will be reported in Ars Veterinaria.
The manuscript must include a statement of institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC) (or equivalent) approval of all animal procedures. The IACUC statement should appear as the first item in the Materials and Methods. The manuscript should discuss anesthetics, analgesics, tranquilizers, and care taken to minimize pain and discomfort during preoperative, operative, and postoperative procedures. If research requires discomfort to the animals or stressful conditions, justification for these conditions must be evident in papers published in Ars Veterinaria.
Publication Malpractice
An increasing number of publication malpractice cases have been noticed last years. Problems like plagiarism, authorship disputes and fraudulent research are becoming frequent.
We alert the authors to read about research and publication ethics to avoid misconduct.
The duties of Authors as described by Elsevier’s Home Page (accessed in August 10th, 2012) (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/rights?tab=3) are:
“Reporting standards
Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Review and professional publication articles should also be accurate and objective, and editorial ‘opinion’ works should be clearly identified as such.
Data access and retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
Originality and plagiarism
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
Plagiarism takes many forms, from ‘passing off’ another’s paper as the author’s own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication
An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper. Publication of some kinds of articles (e.g. clinical guidelines, translations) in more than one journal is sometimes justifiable, provided certain conditions are met. The authors and editors of the journals concerned must agree to the secondary publication, which must reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary document. The primary reference must be cited in the secondary publication. Further detail on acceptable forms of secondary publication can be found at www.icmje.org.
Acknowledgement of sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.
Authorship of the paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.
The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Hazards and human or animal subjects
If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) has approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.”
Conflict of Interest
The editors of the Journal Ars Veterinaria belive that to take the best decision on how to handle a submission, they should be alerted to the existence of any conflict of interest. It is not a question of rejecting a paper due to the existence of these conflicts, but, if necessary, to clarify the existence of that conflict.
A potential conflict of interest exists when professional judgment concerning a primary interest (such as the patient’s welfare or the validity of a research) can be influenced by a secondary interest (such as financial gain, issues involving patents or even personal rivalries, among others). A conflict may exist when authors of an article have a financial interest that could influence, even unintentionally, the interpretation of their results or those of others.
We understand that there is nothing inherently unethical in a conflict of interest if it is recognized and declared.
If there is any conflict of interest, it should be listed at the end of the manuscript, before the references.
