About the journal
First published in 1989, EVE is printed bi-monthly and provides basic articles intended for veterinarians in practice who see cases and want to share treatment and diagnosis with others. This information is provided in Case Reports accompanied by Satellite Articles, which expand on the subject discussed in the case report. EVE has always aimed to provide up-to-date continuing education and, in the 11 years since its inception, has grown from four issues each year to six issues and now alternates with EVJ. EVE also contains Tutorial Articles and one or two ongoing series including topics on the Eye, Equine Hoof, Anaesthesia and Radiology. EVE is attractively designed and produced with wide use of illustration and colour.
Instructions to Authors
Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is a continuing education journal aimed, primarily, at clinicians. All articles published in this journal are of a practical, informative nature and appear under various headings including Editorials, Case Reports, Satellite Articles, Tutorial Articles and Refresher Articles.

Submitted papers should be accompanied by a signed statement that the paper 1) is original, 2) has not been submitted or published elsewhere and 3) has the approval of all authors. If abstracts only have been published, full papers will be considered but a copy of the abstract should accompany the submitted paper. If reference is made to papers cited as ¡®in press¡¯, 3 copies should be provided. If material is used that has been published elsewhere or is given as a personal communication, it is the author¡¯s responsibility to obtain permission from the publisher and author.

*New information for 2002: Keywords*
From January 1st 2002, the authors of papers submitted to EVE are requested to include approximately 5¨C7 relevant keywords on the title page of their article.
EDITORIALS
These are often written by the Editors or members of the Editorial Board. However, guest editorials are always welcome. They can relate to the content of the issue, providing a useful means of introducing, and generating interest in, specific subjects. They may also be independent of other content and they give an opportunity to express opinions on any matters of interest to the veterinary profession. Editorials should be approximately 1,000 words and may include a limited number of references. All EVE editorials are signed.
CASE REPORTS
Practitioners are particularly interested in Case Reports which enable them to relate other veterinarians' clinical experiences to their own. Single or multiple cases are acceptable and they should be presented clearly, with events recorded in chronological order or under headings where appropriate: Introduction, Case history, Clinical findings, Diagnosis, Treatment, Outcome, Postmortem, Findings where applicable, Discussion. The use of sub-headings to separate areas of information is encouraged. Figures and tables should be used, if necessary, to complement rather than duplicate the text. The recommended length is 2,000 words, although this is dependent upon the nature of the report.
SATELLITE ARTICLES
Upon acceptance of a Case Report, the Editors commission accompanying Satellite Articles. These are intended to provide background information on specific aspects of the Case Report, e.g. pathology, pharmacology, neurology. The aim is to supply readers with answers to at least some of the questions which arise from the Case Report or to expand on a particular aspect of the topics covered. The length of these articles depends upon the range of the subject, but 2,000 words is recommended.
TUTORIAL ARTICLES
Tutorial Articles are written by acknowledged experts in particular fields and are intended to give a comprehensive review of a subject, incorporating aetiology, pathology, diagnosis, clinical aids, therapy and/or prognosis as appropriate. These articles should summarise the current knowledge relating to the subject and, in some cases, discuss means of improving understanding. Some subjects are too wide ranging to be discussed in one article and, in this event, a series of articles will appear in consecutive issues. Individual articles can be up to 4,000 words long and a full reference list should be supplied.
REFRESHER ARTICLES
Refresher Articles should provide an ¡®update¡¯ on subjects which are encountered commonly by practitioners. They should be largely pictorial and serve as a reminder of available techniques or a description of modifications. The majority of these articles are no more than 1,500 words.
CORRESPONDENCE
The Editors welcome correspondence on any subject. If a letter relates to an article published in a previous issue, it is usual for a copy to be sent to the author(s) of that article who will be given a chance to respond.

References

References in the text within the same parentheses are given in chronological order. The list of references should be alphabetical, with papers by the same author being arranged by the number of authors, i.e. from single author (Smith, J. 1992) to the highest number of authors (Smith, J., Jones, A. and Bloggs, W. 1997) irrespective of date. (References with the same number of authors by the same first author should be arranged chronologically.) References by the same first author and published in the same year should be labelled a, b, c etc within the text (e.g. Smith 1992a) and listed sequentially in the reference list.
The format in the reference list is as follows: author(s) name(s) and initials, year of publication in parentheses, full title of article, journal title as abbreviated in the World List of Scientific Periodicals, volume number and page numbers: e.g. Foster, B.W., Codd, J. and Smith, R.

References to book articles should be set out as follows: author(s) name(s) and initials, date of publication in parentheses, title of chapter or article, full title of book, edition, name(s) of editor(s) if relevant, publisher, place of publication and pages referred to; e.g. Robin, C.

Proofs
The corresponding author will receive proofs prior to publication. These should be read and returned with corrections immediately. Major alterations will be accepted only at the author¡¯s expense.
Reprints
A reprint order form will accompany the proofs and should be completed and returned with them, whether or not reprints are required. Ordering of reprints after you have returned the proofs will incur considerable expense which would have to be borne by the author(s).
