Units of measurement, abbreviations, symbols Guidelines for submitting your manuscript for peer review The Canadian Veterinary Journal (CVJ) provides a forum for the discussion of all matters relevant to the veterinary profession. The mission of the Journal is to educate by informing readers of progress in clinical veterinary medicine, veterinary research, and in other related fields of endeavor. The key objective of the Journal is to promote the art and science of veterinary medicine and the betterment of animal health. A report suggesting that animals have been unnecessarily subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatment will not be processed for publication. Experimental studies using animals will only be considered for publication if the studies have been approved by an institutional animal care committee, or equivalent, and the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care (1), or equivalent, have been followed by the author(s). The CVJ welcomes manuscripts in English or French. FORMAT The CVJ publishes 2 categories of articles: Non-peer-reviewed articles These include feature articles, special reports, student papers, etc. Unsolicited material will be considered. Consideration for publication as a student paper is limited to those articles that were written by students while they were attending a Canadian veterinary college. Students interested in submitting a manuscript for publication in this category should consult with the Assistant Editor at their college. Peer-reviewed articles These include: 1) scientific articles, 2) brief communications, and 3) review articles. Manuscripts are reviewed for possible publication by at least 2 peer reviewers, with the understanding that they are being submitted to one journal at a time and have not been published, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. This does not preclude consideration of a manuscript that has been rejected by another journal or of a complete report that follows publication of preliminary findings elsewhere, usually in the form of an abstract. Guidelines for authorship All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship, and all those who qualify should be listed. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. One or more authors should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole, from inception to published article. Authorship credit should be based only on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Conditions 1, 2, and 3 must all be met. Acquisition of funding, the collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, by themselves, do not justify authorship (2). The CVJ publishes 3 types of peer-reviewed articles: 1.  SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES ?significant original observations, especially those with direct application to veterinary practice in Canada. Format for Scientific Articles Authors should refer to scientific articles published in previous issues of the CVJ for explicit format. Title page see format and style guidelines below Abstract no more than 150 words state the purpose(s) of the study or investigation, basic procedures, main findings, and principal conclusions Introduction clearly state the purpose and rationale for the study do not review the subject extensively do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported Materials and methods describe the materials and methods used, so that the research could be repeated identify equipment and pharmaceuticals with the manufacturer name, city, province/state, country identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic names, doses, and routes of administration describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results present findings with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals) Results present in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations do not repeat tabulated data in the text Discussion do not repeat your results discuss your findings, their limitations, and your conclusions in relation to the literature Acknowledgments include only persons who have made substantive contributions to the study but do not qualify for authorship do not include recognition of editorial or secretarial assistance References see style section below If your article is written in French, please use the reference style and format outlined in the French instructions for authors (?nbsp;Directives ?l’intention des auteurs ? Can Vet J 2002;43:153?56). Studies involving trials of drugs and biologics When planning studies and preparing manuscripts that involve drug trials, authors should consider the influence that their publication may have on the use of therapeutic agents in the field, particularly in an off-label context. Information should be included that covers such matters as current approval status of the drug in Canada, withdrawal period, and what procedures were used to detect deleterious effects, such as injection site lesions or systemic reactions. The Editor can be consulted in advance and will make the final decision as to whether sufficient information has been included for the protection of various interests for which the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association is responsible. 2.  BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS ?These include case reports, clinical notes, and other short subjects. Case reports are restricted to those that advance a testable hypothesis; concern a rare condition or unusual combination of conditions, the recording of which will contribute to the scientific literature; or offer new insight into a condition (3). style for Brief Communications, please see below Format for Brief Communications please refer to recent issues of the CVJ for the format used include an abstract, not exceeding 50 words, that briefly states the purpose, results, and principal conclusion(s) of the study limit the text to 6 double-spaced typewritten pages, one table or figure, and up to 10 references subheadings are not required 3.  Review Articles ?These are usually commissioned, but unsolicited reviews are welcome upon prior consultation with the editors. Review articles should carefully evaluate and synthesize information, should serve to educate the reader, and should contribute to the advancement of knowledge (4). STYLE 1. General style The CVJ style follows accepted biomedical format (2). When submitting your manuscript, please: number lines continuously double-space left justify, one-inch (2.5-cm) margins begin each section on a separate page: title page, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, references, tables, figure legend(s), and figures number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page, in the upper right-hand corner of each page use 12-point text size spell English words according to Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (5) spell medical terms according to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary (6) 2. Guidelines for submission of electronic files (diskette) for manuscripts Manuscripts Manuscripts should be saved on IBM-formatted diskettes, not those diskettes formatted for Macintosh. Documents should be saved in one of WordPerfect 6.0 (or higher) or Microsoft Word 6.0 (or higher). Manuscripts should be named according to their manuscript number. All tables should be included at the end of the manuscript. Please don't send articles for peer review via e-mail. Figures Simple figures, such as line drawings, bar charts, and line graphs, should be incorporated at the end of the main manuscript, after the tables, so that they can be altered, if necessary; alternatively, they may be saved as separate files on the same diskette. If a figure file is too large to fit on the same diskette as the manuscript file, use of a second diskette is acceptable. The following are general guidelines for figure format: It is not necessary to provide an electronic copy of a figure if it is a photograph; for example, photographs of an electrophoresis gel or gross postmortem findings. Figures should not be downloaded from the Internet, as they do not have sufficient resolution (72 dpi). Photographs and figures may be scanned and submitted on a diskette, but they must be at least 300 dpi resolution, and they must be saved as *.tif files. Line drawings, bar charts and other figures should be in “encapsulated postscript?(*.eps) format. If a figure was created by using CorelDraw graphics software, it must be exported to Adobe Illustrator and saved there as an Illustrator file (*.eps) before it can be used. If scanning a line graph or drawing for submission on a diskette, or if providing only a paper copy of a figure, the lines used must be thicker than “hairline? they must be at least 0.01 in. (0.03 cm) wide, or they will not scan clearly. 3. Title page All title pages will include: the title of the article, which should be concise but informative without using abbreviations usual first name, initial(s), and last name of each author name and address of department(s) and institution(s) or practice(s) to which the work should be attributed name of corresponding author (plus the mailing address, if different from address above, and the e-mail address) disclaimers, if any a statement that reprints will not be available from the author, if so the source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these 4. References number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text identify references in text, tables, and legends by arabic numerals (in parentheses) number references cited only in tables or in legends to figures in accordance with a sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or illustration abbreviate titles of journals according to the style used in Index Medicus (consult the “List of the Journals Indexed,?which is printed annually in the January issue of Index Medicus, or visit www.medscape.com/Home/Search/IndexMedicus/IndexMedicus.html) use only refereed abstracts published within the last 5 years as references do not use “unpublished observations?and “personal communications?as references; references to written, not verbal, communications may be inserted (in parentheses) include among the references manuscripts accepted, but not yet published, by specifying the journal or book, year and volume number, if known, and adding “In press?(see example 8). cite information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted as “unpublished observations?(in parentheses) verify all references against the original documents list all authors when they number 6 or fewer; when 7 or more, list only first 3 and add et al.
