Instructions to Authors
Domestic Animal Endocrinology publishes scientific papers dealing with the study of the endocrine physiology of domestic animal species. Those manuscripts utilizing other species as models for clinical or production problems associated with domestic animals will also be considered. Clinical case reports will generally not be accepted unless the research report provides significant new information regarding mechanisms responsible for a phenomenon. Topics covered include the regulation of hormone secretion, hormone action, and biochemical endocrinology.
Types of contribution
1. Original Research Papers (Regular Papers)
2. Review Articles
3. Short Communications
Original Research Papers should report the results of original research. The material should not have been previously published elsewhere, except in a preliminary form.
Review Articles should cover subjects falling within the scope of the journal which are of active current interest. They may be submitted or invited.
Short Communications are concise but complete descriptions of a limited investigation, which will not be included in a later paper. Short Communications should be as completely documented, both by reference to the literature and description of experimental procedures employed, as an Original Research Paper. They should not occupy more than six printed pages (about 12 manuscript pages, including figures, tables and references).
Submission of manuscripts
Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission also implies that all authors have approved the paper for release and are in agreement with its content, and that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. It is understood that materials accepted for publication reflect the opinion(s) of the author(s) and should not be construed to represent the opinion of the Editor, the Editorial Board or the Publisher.
Upon acceptance of the article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will enable the widest possible dissemination of information.

Preparation of manuscripts
1. Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise and grammatically correct English and formatted according to the instructions listed below. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked by an English-speaking colleague prior to submission. Manuscripts that do not conform to standard English style, usage and grammar, and/or which are not adequately prepared, will be returned to the authors for modification prior to scientific review.
Authors in Japan please note: Upon request, Elsevier Japan will provide authors with a list of people who can check and improve the English of their paper (before submission). Please contact our Tokyo office: Elsevier Japan, Editorial Service, 1-9-15 Higashi-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0044, Japan; Tel. (+81) 3-5561-5032; Fax (+81) 3-5561-5045; E-mail: info@elsevier.co.jp.
2. For hard-copy submissions, submit the original and three copies of your manuscript. Enclose the original illustrations and three sets of photocopies (four prints of any photographs). For electronic submissions, follow the guidelines above.
3. Manuscripts should be typewritten, typed on one side of the paper, with numbered lines and with wide margins and double spacing throughout, i.e. also for abstracts, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Avoid excessive usage of italics to emphasize part of the text.
4. Manuscripts in general should be organized in the following order:
Title, which should be clear, descriptive and not too long
Running title, not more than 48 characters
Name(s) of author(s)
Complete postal address(es) of affiliation(s)
Full telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address, of the corresponding author
Present address(es) of author(s) if applicable
Complete correspondence address, including e-mail, to which proofs should be sent
Abstract, not more than 250 words
Five keywords (indexing terms)
Introduction
Materials and Methods
Results
Discussion
Acknowledgements and any additional information concerning research grants, etc.
References
Tables
Figure captions
5. In typing the manuscript, titles and subtitles should not be run within the text. They should be typed on a separate line, without indentation. Use lower-case letter type.
6. SI units should be used.
7. If a special instruction to the copy editor or typesetter is written on the copy it should be encircled. The typesetter will then know that the enclosed matter is not to be set in type. When a typewritten character may have more than one meaning (e.g. the lower case letter l may be confused with the numeral 1), a note should be inserted in a circle in the margin to make the meaning clear to the typesetter. If Greek letters or uncommon symbols are used in the manuscript, they should be written very clearly, and if necessary a note such as "Greek lower-case chi" should be put in the margin and encircled.
8. Elsevier reserves the privilege of returning to the author for revision accepted manuscripts and illustrations which are not in the proper form given in this guide.
Assay validations
For radioimmunoassays, it will be necessary to include a measure of precision relative to intra- and inter-assay variability. Antibodies and standards should be referenced.
Descriptions of new assays must include estimates of intra- and inter-assay variability, as well as statements relative to sensitivity, specificity, additivity, and parallelism. Guidelines for Reporting Measurements of Steady State mRNA Expression, written by Frank Simmen and Mike White, are available at the URL: http://www.ag.auburn.edu/dae/rna.htm.
Abstracts
The abstract should be clear, descriptive and not longer than 250 words.
Tables
1. All tables should be referred to in the text by consecutive arabic numerals (Table 1, Table 2, etc.).
2. Authors should take notice of the limitations set by the size and lay-out of the journal. Large tables should be avoided. Reversing columns and rows will often reduce the dimensions of a table.
3. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two or more tables.
4. Drawn tables, from which prints need to be made, should not be folded.
5. Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all tables.
6. Each table should be typewritten on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
7. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
8. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
9. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.
10. Any explanation essential to the understanding of the table should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
Illustrations
1. All illustrations should be referred to in the text by consecutive arabic numerals (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc).
2. Units should be indicated in the figures.
3. Glossy prints of photographs, and original prints of photomicrographs, should be submitted.
4. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) should be submitted separately, unmounted and not folded.
5. Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or - in the case of line drawings - on the lower front side) by its number and the name of the first author. An indication of the top of the illustrations is required in photographs of profiles, thin sections, and other cases where doubt can arise.
6. Illustrations should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. Illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50%.
7. Lettering should be in Indian ink or by printed labels. Make sure that the size of the lettering is big enough to allow a reduction of 50% without becoming illegible. The lettering should be in English. Use the same kind of lettering throughout and follow the style of the journal.
8. If a scale should be given, use bar scales on all illustrations instead of numerical scales that must be changed with reduction.
9. Each illustration should have a caption. The captions to all illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
10. Explanations should be given in the typewritten legend. Drawn text in the illustrations should be kept to a minimum.
11. Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity. Sharp and glossy copies are required. Reproductions of photographs already printed cannot be accepted.
12. Colour illustrations can only be included if the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
13. Advice on the preparation of illustrations can be found at the following URL; www.authors.elsevier.com/artwork

Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit the journal's home page and click on the left-hand side link to the Author Gateway.
References
1. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a Reference section immediately following the Acknowledgements.
2. References in the text should be indicated by Arabic numerals in parentheses and should be listed in the Reference section in numerical order.
3. References should use the following style:
a. For periodicals
Connor EE, Ashwell MS, Dahl GE. Characterization and expression of the bovine growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor. Domest Anim Endocrinol 2002;22:189-200.
b. For books
Van Zutphen LFM, Baumans V, Beynen AC. Principles of Laboratory Animal Science, Revised Edition. Elsevier Science B.V., 2001.
c. For multi-author books
Betteridge KJ. Embryo Transfer. In: Reproduction in Domesticated Animals, King GJ (Ed.), World Animal Science B9, Elsevier Science B.V., 1993, pp. 413-418.
4. Abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of references in accordance with BIOSIS Serial Sources, published annually by BIOSIS. The correct abbreviation for this journal is: Domest Anim Endocrinol.
5. In the case of publications in any language other than English, the original title is to be retained. However, the titles of publications in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as "(in Russian)" or "(in Greek, with English abstract)" should be added.
6. Work accepted for publication but not yet published should be referred to as "in press".
7. References concerning unpublished data and "personal communications" should not be cited in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text.
Formulae
1. Formulae should be typewritten, if possible. Leave ample space around the formulae.
2. Subscripts and superscripts should be clear.
3. Greek letters and other non-Latin or handwritten symbols should be explained in the margin where they are first used. Take special care to show clearly the difference between zero (0) and the letter O, and between one (1) and the letter l.
4. Give the meaning of all symbols immediately after the equation in which they are first used.
5. For simple fractions use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line, e.g. Ip/2m.
6. Equations should be numbered serially at the right-hand side in parentheses. In general only equations explicitly referred to in the text need be numbered.
7. The use of fractional powers instead of root signs is recommended. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp.
8. In chemical formulae, valence of ions should be given as e.g., Ca2+, not as Ca++.
9. Isotope numbers should precede the symbols, e.g. 18O.
10. The repeated writing of chemical formulae in the text is to be avoided where reasonably possible; instead, the name of the compound should be given in full. Exceptions may be made in the case of a very long name occurring very frequently (e.g., phosphate as P2O5).
Footnotes
1. Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it should be possible to incorporate the information into the normal text.
2. If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as short as possible.
Nomenclature
1. Authors and editors are, by general agreement, obliged to accept the rules governing biological nomenclature, as laid down in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
2. All biotica (crops, plants,insects, birds, mammals, etc.) should be identified by their scientific names when the English term is first used, with the exception of common domestic animals.
3. All biocides and other organic compounds must be identified by their Geneva names when first used in the text. Active ingredients of all formulations should be likewise identified.
4. For chemical nomenclature, the conventions of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the official recommendations of the IUPAC-IUB Combined Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature should be followed.
Copyright
1. Authors, when quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing an illustration or table from a book or journal article, should make sure that they are not infringing a copyright.
2. Although in general authors may quote from other published works, they should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if they wish to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates, or other illustrations. If the copyright-holder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought.
3. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained.
4. A suitable acknowledgement of any borrowed material must always be made.
