Author Guidelines
Mission Statement:
Veterinary Ophthalmology is a peer-reviewed, online, international journal that welcomes submission of manuscripts whose target audience includes Diplomates of the ACVO and ECVO, members of international ophthalmic societies and associations, academic researchers with interests in veterinary or comparative ophthalmology, specialists and general practitioners with an ophthalmology interest. Veterinary Ophthalmology strives to serve as the primary journal for all articles pertaining to veterinary and comparative ophthalmology published worldwide.
Veterinary Ophthalmology publishes original material relating to all aspects of clinical and investigational veterinary and comparative ophthalmology. The following types of material will be considered for publication:
Original articles including clinical (prospective and retrospective clinical studies) and investigational studies. Studies involving animals must have the approval of the institution's animal care and use committee or other appropriate regulatory group and be acceptable to the Editor-in-Chief.
Review articles (including papers which clarify, summarize and critically evaluate the current literature). These may be invited by the Editor or a member of the editorial board.
Case Reports (limited to 2000 words, 4 figures and 18 references). In general, single case reports describing observations in an animal will not be considered unless the report makes a substantial contribution to ophthalmic knowledge (important mechanistic insights, illuminate a novel principle or technique, or describe a newly recognized disease or important variation or increased depth of understanding of a recognized disease) and is not merely additive to the existing literature. Reporting a procedure previously established but performed for the first time in a new species generally does not add sufficient new knowledge to justify publication, unless unique aspects of the procedure or management have been adjusted. Justifying innovation and unique aspects of the case is the responsibility of the authors.
Authors of case reports rejected by Veterinary Ophthalmology may be offered the option of having their manuscript, along with any related peer review comments, automatically transferred for consideration by the editorial team of Clinical Case Reports. Authors will not need to reformat or rewrite their manuscript at this stage, and publication decisions will be made a short time after the transfer takes place. Clinical Case Reports is an Open Access journal, and article publication charges apply. For more information, please visit: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/20500904
Viewpoint articles (papers which challenge existing concepts or present an alternative interpretation of available information) are usually invited by the Editor or a member of the editorial board.
Brief communications: Brief research and clinical communications (limited to 1500 words, 2 figures and 12 references). Brief communications are used when the extent of the investigation or the findings do not warrant a full paper, but are still considered of value to the ophthalmic community.
Letters to the editor will be limited to 750 words, including references, and one image / figure / table; letters may cover a variety of topics and these may include but are not restricted to:
a. Briefly highlighting or commenting on an issue in a previously published paper.
b. Seeking to generate discussion or awareness of a developing area.
Double-Masked Peer Review Process
Veterinary Ophthalmology uses a double-masked peer review process for all manuscripts (i.e. the reviewers and authors are masked each other's identity). Authors are required to submit BOTH masked and unmasked versions of their main document. It is crucial that authors conscientiously redact identifying information from their manuscripts for a double masked review to be successful. Responsibility for ensuring that manuscripts are adequately masked rests entirely with the authors and not with the Journal.
Please use the following instructions for uploading masked and unmasked versions of your main document:
Version 1 should be uploaded as the Masked Manuscript File. This file will be automatically converted to PDF once uploaded through the online submission system (ScholarOne) and will be made available to the reviewers. This file SHOULD NOT include the following information:
Author name
Author institution details
Author contact details
Acknowledgements
Conflicts of interest (if declared)
Ethics approval statements that refer to your institution
Version 2 should be uploaded as the UnMasked Manuscript file. This file will only be accessible to the Editorial Staff. This file SHOULD INCLUDE the following information:
Author names
Author institution details
Author contact details
Acknowledgements
Conflicts of interest (if declared)
Ethics approval statements that refer to your institution
Author Guidelines
Veterinary Ophthalmology uses the guidelines and criteria for authorship of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html). The editorial staff is not responsible for resolving disputes between authors or potential authors of manuscripts submitted or accepted for publication.
Authorship should be based on the following criteria:
Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
Final approval of the version to be published; AND
Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data (such as recruiting cases in multi-center drug trials) does not justify authorship and, except in the case of complex large-scale or multi-center research, the number of authors should usually not exceed six. Contributors who do not qualify as authors should be mentioned under Acknowledgements
Animals in Research
The Journal is committed to the ethical use of animals and ethical involvement of people in all studies that it publishes. The Journal also notes that requirements for ethical approval differ among countries and states or provinces and therefore we hold authors and their institutions primarily responsible for the ethical conduct of studies. We require that authors indicate during submission of their manuscript if the study required institutional or governmental approval in the jurisdiction in which it was conducted, and whether such approval was granted.
The Journal reserves the right to decline to publish manuscripts in which approval by the appropriate regulatory group is not reported, when the Journal has concerns about the welfare or treatment of animals used in the study, where there is reason to believe that animals have been subjected to unnecessary or avoidable pain or distress or when the Journal has concerns about involvement of people in the study.
The Journal is not obliged to reveal the basis for such a decision.
The Journal may request further information about care and use of animals, or involvement of people, including evidence of regulatory approval or compliance with local regulations.
Ethical approval for studies involving animals
Studies of animals including, but not restricted to, those describing induction of disease, administration of drugs or other substances, surgical interventions or clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with regulations governing the use of animals at the authors’ institution. It is the responsibility of the authors to obtain approval by the appropriate regulatory group (e.g., Institutional Laboratory Animal Care and Use Committee, Animal Ethics Committee, Hospital Board) and report this approval. When experimental animals are used the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort.
The design of studies involving client-owned animals with spontaneous disease (e.g., clinical trials, prospective or retrospective studies, case reports) should be approved by the appropriate regulatory group (e.g., hospital board) and should include a statement of informed consent by the animal’s owner or the owner’s representative.
It is incumbent upon the authors to ensure that care of animals meets standards required by the authors’ institution.
Prior Publication, Plagiarism and self-plagiarism
Manuscripts submitted to Veterinary Ophthalmology may be screened electronically for plagiarism. Veterinary Ophthalmology is a member of CrossCheck, a service offered by CrossRef and powered by iThenticate software. iThenticate is a plagiarism screening service that verifies the originality of content submitted before publication. iThenticate checks submissions against millions of published research papers, and billions of web content.
Manuscripts are accepted for consideration on the understanding that they are being considered for publication solely in Veterinary Ophthalmology and that they have been neither published nor are under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts will be considered for publication with the clear understanding that their contents have not been previously published (abstracts ≤ 250 words presented at scientific meetings are excepted) and have not been submitted or published elsewhere while acceptance by Veterinary Ophthalmology is under consideration. Authors should not include entire paragraphs from their previous publications in a new submission. For example, sections related to the significance of a condition or background knowledge about the topic should be unique to each publication.
Veterinary Ophthalmology is published in online-only format. This is a proactive step towards reducing the environmental impact caused by the production and distribution of printed journal copies and will allow the journal to invest in further digital development. Published articles will continue to be disseminated quickly through the journal's broad network of indexing in the Web of Science, MEDLINE and Scopus. Articles will also continue to be discoverable through popular search engines such as Google.
EarlyView
Veterinary Ophthalmology is part of Wiley’s Early View service. All articles are published online in Early View. These articles are fully peer reviewed, edited and complete – lacking only page numbers and volume/issue – and are considered fully published from the date they first appear online. This date is shown with the article in the online table of contents. Because Early View articles are considered fully complete, changes cannot be made to an article after the online publication date, even if it has not yet appeared in an Issue. Early View articles are given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After issue publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
