Author Guidelines

Scope

Before submitting, please read our Aims and Scope to make sure your work fits IAJAVS's focus on agricultural and veterinary sciences. We publish Original Research Articles, Review Articles, Case Reports and Short Communications.

Authorship

Authorship follows the ICMJE criteria. Each author must have made a substantial contribution to the conception, design, analysis or interpretation of the work; drafted or critically revised it; approved the final version; and agreed to be accountable for all of it.

Preparing Your Manuscript

Write in clear, grammatically correct English
Prepare the manuscript for double-blind review, with author names and affiliations in a separate file from the main text
Give an ORCID iD for the corresponding author, and for other authors where possible
Use the standard structure: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and References
Give scientific names in italics, with the authority at first mention, and state varieties, breeds and strains precisely

Required Statements

Every submission must include:

A Conflict of Interest (Competing Interests) statement
A Data Availability Statement
A Funding statement disclosing all sources of support
An animal ethics approval statement where animals were used, owner consent for client-owned animals, and informed consent where people took part
An AI Use Declaration naming any generative AI tool used

Reporting Guidelines

Describe experimental design, replication, field or housing conditions, and statistical methods in enough detail for others to reproduce the work. We recommend ARRIVE for animal studies and CARE-style structure for veterinary case reports.

Originality

All manuscripts are checked with iThenticate before peer review, under the Plagiarism Policy.

Peer Review

Submissions receive double-blind review from at least two independent reviewers. First decisions usually arrive within 12–14 weeks.
