Scientific and Technical Review
Overview
ISSN 1608-0645 (online)
ISSN 0253-1933 (printed version)
The Review is the principal scientific and technical publication of the OIE, fulfilling two of the statutory functions of the Organisation, namely:
?to promote and co-ordinate experimental or other research work concerning contagious diseases of livestock for which international collaboration is deemed desirable
?to publish all facts and documents likely to be of interest to Veterinary Services world-wide.
The Review presents information on veterinary activities which may involve international co-operation in the fields of both animal and public health.
Another objective of the Review is to inform readers of the activities of the OIE Member Countries and of the Organisation in both of the above-mentioned fields.
The Review is indexed in the databases Agris (FAO, Italy) and Littérature vétérinaire francophone (Canada), in the abstract journals Index Veterinarius and Veterinary Bulletin (CABI databases, United Kingdom), BIOSIS, Capsule Report, Current Contents?/SUP>/Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences, Fish and Wildlife Worldwide, Focus On?/SUP>: Veterinary Science & Medicine, Index Medicus, MEDLINE and SciSearch?/SUP> (United States of America), Zoological Record (United Kingdom), Electre (France) and on the current awareness service Veterinary journals: table of Contents of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Montreal, Canada.
Content
At least two of the three issues published in each volume are devoted to a specific theme. For these issues, an internationally-renowned expert is designated as co-ordinator, and specialists in the field are invited to contribute papers, thereby providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the topic under discussion.
Issues of the Review which are not devoted to a central theme are generally presented in four sections. A significant part of each issue is devoted to comprehensive reviews and original articles. The various sections may be outlined as follows:
Reviews
Reviews offer detailed studies on a specific and topical subject, such as epizootiology, diagnosis, treatment and control of those animal diseases and zoonoses of greatest importance to the international community. Other subjects which may be covered include: the administration of Veterinary Services, legislation, information systems, animal health and economics. Reviews may take the form of one paper written by a single author, or may include a series of articles which present different aspects of a given theme.
Instructions to Authors
Original articles
These may be papers on research, diagnosis, control and treatment of animal diseases, and should be of interest internationally. Original articles may also involve other items relating to international co-operation between Veterinary Services.
Communications
The subject matter in this section is identical to that of original articles, but communications are shorter in length or discuss a more limited aspect or area. Furthermore, the content need not be original but may review published work.
Reports
These summarise the proceedings of scientific and technical meetings held by the OIE or other organisations.
Conditions for accepting manuscripts
Contributors to the Review undertake to submit articles which have not been published elsewhere, either in part or in full, and which do not require prior authorisation for publication by the OIE. In submitting a manuscript, the authors agree for the copyright of their article to be transferred to the OIE if and when the article is accepted for publication. The Editor will, however, consider all requests made by authors for permission to reproduce articles.
Manuscripts may be submitted in any one of the three official languages of the OIE: English, French or Spanish.
The first (or corresponding) author receives immediate notification of receipt of the article which is then submitted for appraisal to the Scientific Advisory Board. The author is subsequently advised of the decision of the Board.
The first (or corresponding) author is informed of any stylistic changes made to bring a manuscript into conformity with the standards of the Review. Manuscripts are returned to this person for approval of these changes. A response from authors within a week is essential at this stage.
The first (or corresponding) author is required to ensure that all co-authors concur with changes made prior to publication.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to publish certain of the articles accepted for publication in all three of the official languages of the OIE.
Presentation of manuscripts
Authors should address an electronic version of the original manuscript, together with two original sets of all illustrations to:
The Editor
Scientific and Technical Review
World organisation for animal health/Office International des Epizooties (OIE)
12, rue de Prony, 75017 PARIS, France.
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced with wide margins using A4 paper (29.7 ?21 cm). Word-breaks at the end of a line should be avoided and all pages should be numbered. The various sections should be arranged in the following order:
- Title, names and addresses of authors
- Summary and keywords
- Text
- Acknowledgements (if applicable)
- References
- Tables
- Legends for figures
- Figures.
Guidelines are given below for the preparation of manuscripts. For concrete examples, authors are invited to consult a recent issue of the Review.
1. Title, names and addresses of authors
The title should be concise (no more than 70 characters) and should not contain abbreviations. Standard terminology should be used in the title to facilitate information retrieval and indexing; for example, ‘Epidemiological survey of blackleg in cattle in France?(topic, disease, species, country).
The family names of authors should be preceded by their initials and followed by a superscript bracketed Arabic number. The position and full address of each author should be given below the list of names, as follows:
H. Jones (1), M.L. Smith (2) & M. Webber (2)
(1) Department of Animal Studies, Centre for Environmental Research, 12 Wellbeck Street, London WI 6AB, United Kingdom
(2) Institute of Veterinary Research, 4 Portsmouth Road, Southampton 4GY 6NW, United Kingdom
2. Summary and keywords
The summary, written in the original language and not exceeding 150 words, should describe the methodology, principal results and conclusions of the study. It should be remembered that in cases where the entire text is not translated, readers of the other two languages depend heavily on the content of the summary. Abbreviations used for the first time should be preceded by the expression in full. Eight to ten keywords should be provided after the summary.
3. Text
Manuscripts should not exceed 4,000 words (14 to 16 typed pages). When an author wishes to submit a paper of greater length, agreement should first be sought from the Editor. Unnecessarily long paragraphs should be avoided. In general, paragraphs should not be longer than 200 words (or 20 lines).
Authors should make every effort to write clearly and concisely. Experimental work and epidemiological studies should be presented using the following standard lay-out: introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions and references.
Units of measurement should be expressed using the metric system and, where appropriate, SI units.
New diagnostic methods should be described in sufficient detail (e.g. reference standard, nature of the antiserum or antigen, specificity, sensitivity, etc.). Well-known methods, or those already described in an international journal or review, should be mentioned and referenced.
Veterinary drugs, reagents and laboratory materials should be referred to in the text by the generic name (and, only if necessary, the commercial name).
Abbreviations and acronyms should be defined the first time they are used. Footnotes should be incorporated in the main text.
Tables and figures should be mentioned in the text at the place where the author wishes them to be incorporated.
4. Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements may be made to persons who have contributed substantially to the article. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from the persons acknowledged by name.
5. References
In the bibliography, the numbered references should be listed in alphabetical order of authors. In the text, references to the literature should be made by number and enclosed in brackets. For an article on research, it is recommended that the number of references be limited to fifty. For review articles this number may be doubled.
Before submission of the paper, authors are requested to verify the accuracy of all references and to check that all of these have been cited in the text. The names of journals and reviews should be abbreviated unambiguously. If in doubt, the full title should be given. For examples of title abbreviations and the bibliographical format used in the Review, authors are advised to consult the reference sections of recent issues.
Unpublished data and personal communications should be referred to in the body of the text and not in the list of references. Authors are required to obtain approval from sources quoted as unpublished data and personal communications before submission of the paper for publication.
Each reference should list the names ?followed by the initials ?of all authors, the year of publication, full title, journal, volume, issue and page numbers, as shown in the examples below. Please note that papers by the same author should be listed in chronological order (placing works by a single author first, followed by those written with co-authors).

Electronic documents (CD-ROM, website documents) can be cited in Reference sections provided they are of value from a scientific point of view. These documents must be dated and signed. Authors who choose to cite documents which can be obtained from the Internet are requested to indicate the date on which they consulted these documents. Website addresses, without reference to a specific document, cannot be included in the Reference section.
6. Tables
Tables should be given titles and assigned Roman numerals. Each table should be typed double-spaced and presented on a separate page at the end of the text. All columns should be headed, with individual values replaced, as far as possible, by mean values and standard deviations. Notes, comments or explanations relating to numerical values should be indicated using superscript letters (e.g. (a), (b), (c), (d)) and table footnotes. Abbreviations which are not widely used should be explained. Tables should illustrate, not duplicate, information in the text.
7. Legends for figures
Each figure should be presented at the end of the text with the corresponding legend on a separate page. Titles should be self-explanatory, so that the need to refer back to the text is minimised. The subject, site and date should be given, where possible. This information can be completed by providing units, sources and explanatory notes.
8. Figures
The use of photographs and figures to illustrate a paper is strongly encouraged. Photographs, diagrams, graphs, drawings and maps are considered as figures. Figures should be numbered using Arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited in the text. The Editor will accept for publication only Excel?/SUP>, Microsoft?/SUP> PowerPoint and CorelDRAW?/SUP> documents (giving the data used to create the figure, together with the figure itself), digital images of photographs, glossy prints, photographic reproductions or original documents prepared with Indian ink on tracing paper. The figure number and the name of the first author should be written in pencil on the back of each figure with an arrow indicating the top of the figure. Authors are reminded that the Editor requires two sets of figures.
Photographs with a maximum format of 10 ?8 cm should be supplied with the same indications.
Reprints
Fifty reprints are sent, free of charge, to the first author of the paper. Orders for additional reprints should be addressed to the Editor once the article has been accepted for publication.
All authors and co-authors receive a complimentary copy of the issue in which their paper is published.
