Short communication (Case reports) should consist of the following sections: Title page, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Legends to Figures. The manuscript should not exceed 8 pages in length.
Review study summarizes findings in the field concerned. The manuscript should not exceed 20 pages in length, and the reviewed literature sources must have been published in the last 20 years. Short abstracts in English and in Czech should be submitted with this article.
The title of the paper should be short and informative, of not more than 85 strokes. Subtitles of the papers are not allowed. The title should be given in English and in Czech or in Slovak.
Authors’ names should have the form of the first name initials and surnames (ladies-authors can use their first names in full).
Authors’ departments, institutions should be given in an official version in English. If authors are from several institutions, their names should be designated by a digit corresponding to the same digit in a list of institutions.
Grant funding of the paper: besides the grant number, the full name of grant agency or institution should be given.
Abstract. It should present an excerpt of information on the contents and conclusions of the paper, it is not a mere description of the paper. It should present all substantial information contained in the paper. It shall not exceed 170 words. It should be written in full sentences, not in the form of keynotes, and comprise basic numerical data including statistical data. It should contain important information on methods used to solve the problem, clear description of results and their statistical significance, and brief and unambiguous conclusions drawn from the results. References and discussion of results should not be included in the abstract.
Keywords should not repeat nouns used in the title and should describe the studied problem as best as possible.
INTRODUCTION section should provide information on the present state of research in the field concerned and on the goal of the study. References to literary sources document such present findings that are used by the authors, not all that has been published until now. References in the text should agree with those in the list of references. It is recommended to include references to papers from peer periodicals only.
MATERIAL AND METHODS section should provide a clear description of:
?? Machines, instruments and equipment, chemicals, diagnostic kits, etc. (model, source or manufacturer, country of origin) and ways of their use.
?? Plants / animals (exact definition of the species, number and sources of plants/animals, their inclusion in experimental and control groups, technology of growing/housing, feeding and tending, evaluation of the condition, samplings for examinations, sample storage until they are processed).
?? Methods (their detailed description or references to papers containing the method description); it is not admissible to cite any paper referring to the method used but not containing its description; it is necessary to describe any modifications of the cited methods in an unambiguous way; if the methods were not employed by the authors themselves, it should be indicated who provided the results (the author’s name and institution).
?? Methods of result evaluation, statistical data processing and software used.
RESULTS should be processed in a clear way, and if possible, represented graphically or arranged in tables. Parallel documentation of identical results in tables and in figures is not admissible. Statistical processing should be reasoned and perfect. The results should include data making their verification possible (e.g. mean, number of determinations and standard deviation should be given if significance of difference in two means is evaluated). Explicit and clear illustration of statistically significant differences in tables or figures is desirable. It is not possible to include any results that were provided by the procedure neither described nor cited in the Method section.
DISCUSSION can be combined with result presentation into one section or it can be a separate section, but it must not contain any result description in the latter case. Discussion section should contain a comparison of results presented in the paper with the present knowledge, showing clearly what findings are quite new, how the results differ from those presented by other authors or how they coincide with published conclusions. The importance of results should be emphasized, and new problems and the need of their solution should be highlighted in discussion. It should be stated in the last paragraph of Discussion section whether the goal set in the introductory section was achieved, and what are the authors’ conclusions.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS make it possible to thank for help with result interpretation, for paper reviewing and for another help with its preparation, for financial or any other aid, for technical assistance, for provision of materials or important information, for examinations carried out by those who did not participate actively and creatively in the study or project, for translation of the text or its language correction, etc. It is also a chance of saying who else besides the authors worked on the paper, who contributed by their ideas, advice, who provided methods or experimental material from other experiments or equipment, etc. but who themselves did not contribute actively and creatively to the solution of the problem.
REFERENCES should contain all papers cited in the text, name is followed by date (if several papers that appeared within a year are cited, letters a, b, c ... should be used both in the text and in the References section). If the paper was written by more authors, all authors should be cited in the list of references, but only the first author plus “et al.” and date should be given in the text. Surnames are printed in small letters, followed by first name initials, date in brackets and colon, the full title of the paper, official abbreviation of the journal, volume and extent.

Kaláb J. (1995): Changes in milk production during the sexual cycle. In: Hekel K. (ed.): Lactation in Cattle. London, Academic Press: 876-888.
References should consist of peer periodicals. It is not desirable to cite reports presented to conferences, research reports, dissertations and habilitation theses, textbooks and monographs without describing or citing experimental papers, popular or daily press and hardly available (in foreign countries unavailable) sources. Only exceptionally can unpublished findings or results be cited in Discussion section, mentioning the author and using the note (unpublished) or (personal communication).
The papers not referred to in the text cannot be included in the list of references. Examples of references in the text: ..... described by Brown (1995) ..... described by a number of authors (Brown, 1995; Green and Grey, 1996; Reed et al., 1998) ...
