Submission Guidelines
- has not been published elsewhere at the same time, even in a different language. However, if it is included in an abstract or as part of a thesis or dissertation, it will be accepted (please be aware that all submitted manuscripts will be checked for plagiarism using iThenticate).
- is not being considered for publication by another journal or publisher.
- each co-author has read and authorized the contribution.
- will not, in whole or in part, be published elsewhere without the Exp. Appl. Vet. Res. J. consent.
- Manuscripts are accepted in English, mainly American English. It is highly recommended that authors whose primary language is not English have their papers properly edited prior to submission.
- Manuscripts must be presented in grammatically acceptable English to guarantee feasible initial acceptance. The journal does not offer language editing services. The writers bear the responsibility for any expenses associated with language correction.
- Arabian authors must include a title, author names, affiliations, abstract, and keywords in an Arabic language, to be put at the end of the manuscript, i.e. following the references.
- Word processing software must be used to generate manuscripts in a single column, single spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, with sequential page numbers that use an Arabic numeral in the center of each page's footer.
- All manuscript lines have to be numberd, as this can help facilitate the evaluation of the paper and make giving feedback on specific sections easier.
- When utilizing abbreviations, include a complete explanation of the abbreviation when it first appears in the text, followed by the abbreviation itself in parenthesis. Avoid using abbreviations as much as you can. Generally, abbreviations should use the same language as the extended form in the manuscript. Internationally recognized abbreviations in other languages are an exception to this norm.
- To assist you in preparing your paper in accordance with the journal formatting requirements, the Exp. Appl. Vet. Res. J. website offers a manuscript submission template.
- Provide explanations of conventional protocols and experimental techniques, including reagent amounts in parenthesis where possible (e.g., 1.09 g, 0.50 mmol).
- Well-known methods can be briefly described and appropriately referenced, including any modifications.
- The conditions of the animals (breed, strain, age, sex, and body weight) and the diets used in the experiments (chemical analysis of food items, if necessary for the experiment) should be precisely documented.
- If available, provide the catalog number for the kits and reagents together with the names of the manufacturers and origins of the instruments and equipment.
- Use standard abbreviations for chemicals, reagents and solvents.
- Include the required ethical statements in the Methods section of your article if your research uses live animals (vertebrates, higher invertebrates or experimental) as subjects.
- There should be a single space between the number and the unit.
- To separate thousands (such as 2,000), a comma should be used.
- Unusual units or acronyms should be fully defined or specified in the legend.
- Scale bars should be used in place of magnification factors, and the length of the bar should be shown on the bar itself rather than in the legend.
- Any table in your primary manuscript should be submitted in an editable format (Word format), but not as an image. A table caption (legend) should explain the ranges and standards of error analysis for tables that provide statistical analysis of the data.
- All photos must be provided in a high-quality (300 dpi) bitmap image format (such a JPG, JPEG, or TIFF). Please make sure that the compression option is chosen when saving TIFF files in order to prevent extremely huge file sizes.
- Backgrounds like unnecessary objects in photos or grid lines in graphs should be eliminated.
- Figures should be supplied in an editable format and can be either colored or black and white.
- Figure (not fig.) should be used when a figure is quoted in the main body of the manuscript.
- The title below the figure or image should be started as “Figure 1.” Please notice that there is a period (a single space) between the Figure and the number.
- Please include a concise title statement for the entire figure at the start of your figure legends. Only the initial letter in the title's first word needs to be capitalized. After that, give a brief explanation of each panel's contents. Reduce the number of methodological details as much as you can and use any symbols sequentially.
- Author or authors. The surname is followed by first initials.
- Year of publication of the book (in round brackets).
- Book title (in italics).
- Edition (in round brackets), if other than first edition.
- Publisher
- DOI
- The first line of each citation is left adjusted. Every subsequent line is indented 5-7 spaces.
