The Online
Journal of Veterinary Research,
abbreviated
as
Online
J Vet Res
(OJVR)
was
created in 1994 for the purpose of disseminating original veterinary
research electronically and currently has 26 scientific
board members specialized in different areas of
Veterinary Science. The Journal is only available online, printed versions are the responsibility
of authors and subscribers. Submissions are usually reviewed by 2 board
members or persons commissioned from outside institutions. The site
consists of links to abstracts with full-text articles which may be
purchased or are available to
subscribers only. Published articles are permanently archived on the
site. Articles are posted with relevant meta tags. The journal only
publishes original research work in veterinary science as full-text
articles or short communications. The Board may consider the
publication of solicited or unsolicited reviews. As of the 16th
of August, 2007 each article will be linked to the review report.
Unfortunately, as of the 14th of May, 2008 abstract will no longer be
available on the site due to unauthorized use .
The main criteria for publication in the OJVR is scientific soundness, originality and a high standard of written English. The Work, when relevant, must be supported by Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines, conciseness, raw data if requested, appropriate sampling and statistical analysis. Abstracts posted on OJVR should be able to be read by persons not specialized in the field. A recent full-text article may be viewed here. Authors are usually notified by email of an outcome within four weeks. Accepted articles are usually published within four weeks of acceptance notification. Please note: Submissions that do not meet the basic requirements (see below), will not be reviewed. Submissions will be subjected to an automatic plagiarism and author (only if relevant), check before review. Work must be of middle to high significance to be considered for review. Currently (August 2007), 14% of submitted articles are published in OJVR. A list of specific areas for publication is shown below:As a guide, but NOT in any priority order, OJVR will consider publication of animal research in:
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR AUTHORS How to
submit: The Online
Journal of Veterinary Research (OJVR) is an electronic
journal. Basic
requirements: Submissions must be emailed here and when
received will be acknowledged by OJVR
by
a return email. Authors submitting on behalf of an institution
must provide evidence (email or otherwise) of acceptance of submission
by the institution. Authors must identify or nominate the organization
where the work was done, acknowledge collaboration, and nominate their
qualifications (qualifications are not published with the articles). To avoid confusion,
file names should be distinctive and include date of submission. For
example "Influenza
virus: biochemical perspectives, mutational variants and bird flu"
should be named "birdfluMay3rd08.doc", "influenzaMay3rd08.doc" or
mutationalMay3rd08.pdf" ect. Review and
publication: Submissions are
reviewed by two or more editors, or persons commissioned from another
institution. The criteria for publication are outlined in the Referee
Form. If accepted with or without modifications, reports are
usually emailed to authors within 30 working days. After author
notification by email, submissions not published by OJB are erased and
copyright is returned to authors. If the work is deemed to be not an original contribution and requires major changes, the
manuscript will not be considered for publication (but a report will be
issued to the author(s)). From 2008, all
review reports of submissions will be posted
without author's names, origin or title. Reports are not provided to
authors for submissions found to be not
suitable for publication in OJB and no further correspondence
concerning the submission will be entered into. Once authors have
signed and returned the copyright form, and have been notified by the OJVR that a submission has
been accepted, the board may at its own discretion not allow the work
to be withdrawn from publication. Emails or attachments with viruses
are deleted. Upon acceptance of a submission, the TITLE and KEYWORDS will be posted on the
internet and usually, published within 48 days. Submissions remain
posted indefinitely and archived. Copyright
and Conflict of Interest: OJVR is unable to process accepted
submissions further until the OJVR
Copyright Form is received. The form must be sent here by email. Receipt
of the completed form constitutes transfer of copyright (please read
the form for further information). OJVR encourages the
dissemination of scientific work and supports the SPARC initiative
which allows authors to disseminate their work without financial gain.
Authors are encouraged to complete the SPARC
form here when submitting work to the OJVR.
OJVR subscribes to the
conflict of interest charter as described by the Council
of Science Editors and authors must
complete this
form. While every effort
is made to assure due diligence, submissions that
are subsequently found to have been plegariased, copied, repeated or
published elsewhere whole or in part will be deleted from OJVR pages. Formatting: Submissions should be
submitted in text or formatted HTML, MSWORD, Latex, PDF or other
suitable word processing program. Additional formatting, if required,
will be done by the OJVR. Submissions should
include all original data. Additional data will not be accepted after
submission and the work will not be further considered. Submissions
must be written in a high standard of English (Basic
requirement). As a guide, authors
should view
a recent OJVR article (full-text). ARTICLE
FORMAT (Headings
centered, Basic requirements)) TITLE
AUTHOR(S)
NAMES: with
qualifications (DVM, PhD), affiliations, address for correspondence and
email address. ABSTRACT must be a concise
compilation of the work done, results and conclusions. In the abstract
only, statements of difference are assumed to be p < 0.05 or less.
If required, only values lower (ie P <
0.01) need be stated. However, significance must be stated in the
material and methods and/or results (see below). In the abstract,
abbreviations may be used if repeated in the abstract. KEY-WORDS.
INTRODUCTION MATERIALS
and METHODS,
RESULTS DISCUSSION
REFERENCES: References in text should be set out as Jones GH (1996) or Jones and Smith JK (2000) or for more than two authors, Jones et al (2001) or (Jones and others) with, title of work, journal name in full, volume, page(s) and year and/or numbered (1,2) and listed in order of appearance (ie:"blood values1 ).
Experimental methods and statistical significance: Once a submission is reviewed, further data will not be requested and the work will not be considered any further. Submissions without accompanying data to validate the findings will not be considered (basic requirement). Experimental methods and results, when relevant, must be supported by approved laboratory methods and standards (GLP) with valid statistical or programming tests. For pharmacokinetic, physio-pathological or similar studies with animals, six subjects/samples or more per group, are advisable to validate significance. With large animal studies (ie: laminitis in horses) or case studies, if variance is small or not relevant, less subjects may suffice (basic requirements). Animal
Ethics: Housing and care of
animal should comply with the Code of Practice for the Housing and Care
of Animals used in Scientific Procedures (Home Office, UK) which is
linked here.
Any animal experimentation should comply with The Australian Code
of Practice for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes
(2004) which can be viewed here . A statement of Ethics
approval from an Approved Ethics Committee from an approved institution
must accompany
any animal experimentation.
Short communications: Contributors may report novel and significant research results as a short abstract with supporting condensed data. Short reports should not exceed 1000 words and 25 references. Review articles: Authors may submit a compendium of their own research work or a review of the current and future status of areas of interest (see list above). Reviews should include an abstract, an introduction and brief headings. The article should not exceed 3000 words and 60 references. Reprints: Please note, OJVR is an electronic journal only. Authors
will be emailed a copy of the full-text published article for their own
printing. Parts may have to be reformatted (ie:
large images may be linked to a separate web page).
