5. Compliance with ethics of experimentation
↑Back to top.
- Authors must ensure that research reported in submitted manuscripts has been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner, in full compliance with all relevant codes of experimentation and legislation. All manuscripts which report in vivo experiments or clinical trials on humans or animals must include a written Statement in the Methods section that such work was conducted with the formal approval of the local human subject or animal care committees, and that clinical trials have been registered as legislation requires.
- Authors must confirm that any patient, service user, or participant (or that person’s parent or legal guardian) in any research, experiment or clinical trial who is described in the manuscript has given written consent to the inclusion of material pertaining to themselves, and that they acknowledge that they cannot be identified via the manuscript; and that authors have anonymised them and do not identify them in any way. Where such a person is deceased, authors must warrant they have obtained the written consent of the deceased person’s family or estate.
- Authors must confirm that all mandatory laboratory health and safety procedures have been complied with in the course of conducting any experimental work reported in the manuscript; and that the manuscript contains all appropriate warnings concerning any specific and particular hazards that may be involved in carrying out experiments or procedures described in the manuscript or involved in instructions, materials, or formulae in the manuscript; and include explicitly relevant safety precautions; and cite, and if an accepted standard or code of practice is relevant, a reference to the relevant standard or code. Authors working in animal science may find it useful to consult the Guidelines for the Treatment of Animals in Behavioural Research and Teaching .
6. Reproduction of copyright material
↑Back to top.
If you wish to include any material in your manuscript in which you do not hold copyright, you must obtain written permission from the copyright owner, prior to submission. Such material may be in the form of text, data, table, illustration, photograph, line drawing, audio clip, video clip, film still, and screenshot, and any supplemental material you propose to include. This applies to direct (verbatim or facsimile) reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source).
You must ensure appropriate acknowledgement is given to the permission granted to you for reuse by the copyright holder in each figure or table caption. You are solely responsible for any fees which the copyright holder may charge for reuse.
The reproduction of short extracts of text, excluding poetry and song lyrics, for the purposes of criticism may be possible without formal permission on the basis that the quotation is reproduced accurately and full attribution is given.
For further information and FAQs on the reproduction of copyright material, please consult our Guide .
7. Supplemental online material
↑Back to top.
Authors are encouraged to submit animations, movie files, sound files or any additional information for online publication.
All submissions should be made online at the Veterinary Quarterly Scholar One Manuscripts website. New users should first create an account. Once logged on to the site, submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Online user guides and access to a helpdesk are available on this website.
Manuscripts may be submitted in any standard editable format, including Word and EndNote. These files will be automatically converted into a PDF file for the review process. LaTeX files should be converted to PDF prior to submission because ScholarOne Manuscripts is not able to convert LaTeX files into PDFs directly. All LaTeX source files should be uploaded alongside the PDF.

To assure the integrity, dissemination, and protection against copyright infringement of published articles, you will be asked to assign us, via a Publishing Agreement, the copyright in your article.

Accepted Manuscripts Online (AMO)
↑Back to top.
Veterinary Quarterly publishes manuscripts online as rapidly as possible, as a PDF of the final, accepted (but unedited and uncorrected) manuscript, normally three working days after receipt at Taylor & Francis. The posted file is clearly identified as an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. No changes will be made to the content of the original manuscript for the AMO version. Following copy-editing, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof the final corrected version (the Version of Record [VoR]), will be published, replacing the AMO version. The VoR will be placed into an issue of Veterinary Quarterly . Both the AMO version and VoR can be cited using the doi (digital object identifier). Please ensure that you return the signed copyright form immediately, and return corrections within 48 hours of receiving proofs to avoid delay to the publication of your article.
As an author, you will receive free access to your article on Taylor & Francis Online. You will be given access to the My authored works section of Taylor & Francis Online, which shows you all your published articles. You can easily view, read, and download your published articles from there. In addition, if someone has cited your article, you will be able to see this information. We are committed to promoting and increasing the visibility of your article and have provided guidance on how you can help . Also within My authored works , author eprints allow you as an author to quickly and easily give anyone free access to the electronic version of your article so that your friends and contacts can read and download your published article for free. This applies to all authors (not just the corresponding author).
