About the journal
|
Veterinary Clinical Pathology is an international journal for the communication of scientific investigations and new developments in laboratory medicine in animals, including original research and clinical reports in hematology, coagulation, immunology, clinical chemistry, endocrinology, cytopathology, surgical pathology, laboratory methods, quality assurance and instrumentation.
Veterinary Clinical Pathology is published quarterly by the American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology (ASVCP) and is the official journal of the ASVCP and the European Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology (ESVCP). The journal's mission is to provide an international forum for communication and discussion of scientific investigations and new developments that advance the art and science of laboratory diagnosis in animals. Veterinary Clinical Pathology welcomes original experimental research and clinical contributions involving domestic, laboratory, avian, and wildlife species in the areas of hematology, hemostasis, immunopathology, clinical chemistry, cytopathology, surgical pathology, toxicology, endocrinology, laboratory and analytical techniques, instrumentation, quality assurance, and clinical pathology education. |
Instructions to Authors
Author Agreements
Manuscripts will be considered with the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere (except in abstract form) and are not concurrently under review by any other publication. Authorship implies substantial contribution and approval of the manuscript by each author. At the time of acceptance of a manuscript or letter, all authors will be required to sign a written transfer of copyright to the ASVCP. Requests to copy, reprint, or use portions of published material (including information in figures and tables) should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief. Authors are expected to acknowledge all sources of funding or support and to disclose any financial interest with companies that manufacture products that are the subject of their research or with companies that manufacture competing products. Veterinary Clinical Pathology reserves the right to reject manuscripts if it appears that experimental animals have been subjected to unacceptable stress or pain, or if the use of experimental animals does not appear to be justified by the significance of the knowledge gained. Investigations involving research animals must be done in accordance with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, or equivalent guidelines.
Manuscript Review
The Section Editor in the article's subject area (hematology/ immunology; cytology/surgical pathology; clinical chemistry/endocrinology; QA/methodology/instrumentation) coordinates the peer review process. Manuscripts are evaluated by at least two anonymous peer reviewers. When reviewers disagree on the merits of a manuscript, a third referee may be asked to review the paper. Authors are asked to respond to reviewer suggestions within 1 to 2 months, and revised manuscripts may be re-reviewed. All accepted manuscripts will undergo scientific editing and copyediting according to Veterinary Clinical Pathology style. Proofs will be sent to the author for final approval.
Article Categories
Articles are grouped in the journal as follows:
- Original Articles - Peer-reviewed, prospective or retrospective research investigations that include a structured abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, and discussion.
- Research Communications - Peer-reviewed brief technical reports that include a structured abstract and have few or no separate sections.
- Case Reports - Peer-reviewed clinical reports describing a novel case or unique observation that include an abstract and have few or no separate sections.
- What Is Your Diagnosis? - Peer-reviewed case reports in which "unknown" photomicrographs or laboratory data are provided in a case presentation, followed on subsequent pages by cytologic or histologic interpretation, additional test results, and discussion. An abstract is included at the end of the article. The case presentation should not exceed 2 double-spaced pages.
- Editorials, Reviews, and Book Reviews are generally invited, although unsolicited manuscripts in these categories also are welcome.
- Letters to the Editor are welcome, particularly those in response to published articles. Letters may include references, and a figure or table. Veterinary Clinical Pathology reserves the right not to publish letters containing defamatory, libelous, or malicious statements.
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscripts should be written in English and double-spaced throughout (including the abstract, references, tables and figures legends). Pages should be numbered consecutively, starting with the title page. Authors should refer to a recent issue of the journal for general style and format.
Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum. All nonstandard abbreviations should be defined the first time they are used in the text. The following standard abbreviations may be used (except in titles) without first being spelled out: ANOVA, ATP, CBC, DNA, EDTA, ELISA, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, NADH, NADPH, PCV, RBC, RNA, SD, SEM, WBC.
- Title Page - The first page of the manuscript should include the full title of the article and a short title of less than 50 characters to be used as a running header. Include the authors' first and last names, using footnote designations to refer to the name and location of the institution(s) where the work was conducted. Indicate the corresponding author's name, mailing address, and e-mail address. Previous presentation of the work at a professional meeting should be noted, including the date and location of the meeting.
- Abstract - The abstract should be structured using the following headings: Background, Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Abstracts should be limited to approximately 250 words. Case Reports and What Is Your Diagnosis? articles do not require a structured abstract, but should include an abstract that summarizes the case.
- Key Words - Provide up to 6 key words for indexing the article.
- Introduction - The Introduction (which should not be given a heading) should provide the objective of the study and state the hypothesis or research question. Sufficient background information should be provided to justify the rationale for the study and why it is important.
- Materials and Methods - Methods should include, as appropriate, a description of study design, experimental animals, analytical methods, and statistical analysis. Products (eg, instruments, reagents, stains, drugs) should be referred to by their generic or chemical names, followed by the model or trade name, and the name and location of the manufacturer in parentheses. Use of metric or SI units is strongly encouraged.
- Results - Tables and figures should be referred to in parentheses at the end of a sentence referring to the results. Data in tables and figures should not be duplicated in the text. Results should not repeat the rationale for the methods used.
- Discussion - The Discussion should succinctly summarize the most important findings as related to the study objectives and discuss the results in the context of other studies. Only discussion relevant to the results should be included. Repetition of results should be avoided.
- Acknowledgments - Funding, grant support, or provision of supplies used in the study and individuals providing other forms of assistance (eg, statistical review, manuscript preparation, technical assistance) may be acknowledged.
- References - References should be limited to pertinent literature and formatted according to American Medical Association guidelines, as shown in the examples below. References should be listed and numbered in the order in which they first appear in the text, and should be identified in the text by superscript Arabic numbers. Journal abbreviations should be those used in Index Medicus. References with more than 6 authors should list the first 3 authors followed by et al.
Manuscript Submission
Electronic submission - Manuscripts, tables, references, and figures may be sent electronically as a Microsoft Word document in an e-mail attachment to asvcp@vetclinpathjournal.org. The title of the paper, and the name, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be provided in the accompanying e-mail. A single paper copy of the manuscript, tables, and all figures should be sent concurrently to Dr. Mary M. Christopher, Editor-in-Chief, Vet Med:PMI, 1126 Haring Hall, University of California, 1 Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616-8739.
