JOURNAL POLICIES
Double-blind peer review process
The journal uses double-blind peer review, which means that both authors and reviewers are anonymous to each other throughout the review process.
Peer-review process steps:
1. Manuscript submission – the corresponding author submits the manuscript to the journal, via online editorial system.
2. Editorial office assessment – the manuscript’s composition and arrangement is checked against the Instructions for Authors. The manuscript is checked for plagiarism (CrossRef Similarity Check).
3. Evaluation by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) – EIC checks that the manuscript is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting. If not, the manuscript may be rejected without being reviewed.
4. EIC may assign a Co-editor who will handle the peer review.
5. Invitation to Reviewers – at least two reviewers are assigned by the Editor in Chief or the Co-editor to a manuscript. Once responses are received, further invitations are issued, if necessary, until at least two acceptances of the article reviewing are obtained.
6. Response to invitations – potential reviewers consider the invitation based on their own expertise, conflicts of interest and availability. They then accept or decline. If possible, when declining, they might also suggest alternative reviewers.
7. Review is conducted – the reviewer sets time aside to read the manuscript several times. The first read is used to form an initial impression of the work. If major problems are found at this stage, the reviewer may feel comfortable rejecting the manuscript without further work. Otherwise, he will read the manuscript several more times, taking notes so as to build a detailed point-by-point review. The review is then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept (without change, minor revisions, major revisions and second review) or reject the manuscript.
8. The EIC or assigned Co-editor considers the returned reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews differ widely, additional reviewer is invited so as to get an extra opinion before making a decision. The EIC decides on the publication of papers, taking into account peer reviews, scientific importance, and recommendations of the Editorial Board members.
9. The decision is communicated. The Executive Editor sends a decision e-mail to the corresponding author including any relevant comments.
10. Next steps. If accepted, the manuscript is sent to production. If the article is rejected or sent back for either major or minor revision, the handling editor should include constructive comments from the reviewers to help the author improve the paper. If the paper was sent back to authors for revision, the reviewers should expect to receive a new version, unless they have opted out of further participation. However, where only minor changes were requested, this follow-up review might be done by the handling editor.
Reporting guidelines
The journal Veterinarni Medicina endorses the use of an appropriate reporting guideline when writing a scientific manuscript to improve the accuracy, clarity and completeness of reporting. Meeting basic reporting requirements will greatly improve the value of a manuscript, may enhance its chances for eventual publication, and will contribute to trials reproducibility. A collection of reporting guidelines for research with animals is available at MERIDIAN. For controlled trials and experiments with animals, the REFLECT (Reporting Guidelines for Randomized Controlled Trials in Livestock and Food Safety) checklist or ARRIVE checklist are recommended.
Pre-submission language editing
The journal emphasises the importance of high-quality scientific writing and clarity in presentation. The manuscript must be grammatically and linguistically correct. British English spelling should be used in the manuscripts (e.g. aetiology, caecum, faecal, haematology, utilise). The authors who are not native English speakers are strongly advised to get their manuscript translated by translators cognisant in the subject matter or assessed by an English Editing Service prior to the submission to avoid acceptance problems. Manuscripts with poor quality of the English text may be rejected without review.
Ethics
Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out by the CAAS Journals Ethical Standards which are in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) standards, particularly the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the authors’ own work without proper citation, and misappropriation of the work are all unacceptable practices. By submission of a manuscript, the authors guarantee to the journal that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; and that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out.
Care and use of animals
The journal Veterinarni Medicina requires all research animal activity to be performed in compliance with national and local laws and regulations, following ethical rules. The authors should state explicitly that institutional animal care and use approval was obtained before the commencement of the study. Authors should make it clear that experiments were conducted in a manner that avoided unnecessary discomfort to the animals by the use of proper management and laboratory techniques. Methods of euthanasia must be described, types and dosage of the anaesthetic agents must be specified.
Experiments should be conducted in accordance with the principles and specific guidelines presented for example at
http://www.who.int/tdr/publications/laboratory_practice/en/.
Conflict of interest
Any conflict of interests must be declared.
Licence terms
All the content of the articles is made freely available for non-commercial purposes, users are allowed to copy and redistribute the material, transform and build upon the material as long as the source is properly cited.
Open access
The journal provides immediate open access to their content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Charges
The article processing charge is EUR 320 (CZK 8 000) plus VAT (payable upon acceptance). When submitting an article, the authors agree to this payment if the article is accepted for publication. See details at https://www.agriculturejournals.cz/web/vetmed/fees/.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Submit the manuscript electronically to the editorial system from web page: https://www.agriculturejournals.cz/web/vetmed/.
The manuscript should be submitted in the following separate files:
• Title Page including the type of document (review, original paper, short communication, case report), manuscript title, names of all authors in the order they will be published in the article (first name, middle name, last name), authors’ affiliations, corresponding author’s e-mail address, number of characters, acknowledgement, funding acknowledgement statement, conflict of interest declaration) (templates).
• Manuscript file including title, abstract, keywords, content/text of the article, references, tables and figures (see Manuscript file layout), blinded (follow the instructions below) (templates).
• Figures – graphs preferably in MS Excel (editable .xls or .xlsx); and images (photographs, schemes, diagrams, maps).
• Cover letter – explaining the significance and novelty of the work, the problem that is being addressed, and why the manuscript belongs to this journal.
• Supplementary material, if needed (for online publication only).
• Authors’ Declaration form (downloadable here).
The manuscript files should be blinded – the authors are fully responsible for the manuscript (also its revised versions and accompanying letter to reviewers) anonymisation.
