Aims and scope:

Revista FAVE – Sección Ciencias Veterinarias is the official journal of Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias of Universidad Nacional del Litoral. The periodical publishes scientific works, including original research, short communications, case reports, reviews, and opinion articles, all of them on topics related to Veterinary Sciences. The subjects covered are epidemiology, disease ecology, parasitology, microbiology, infectious diseases, pathology, physiology, immunology, endocrinology, pharmacology, reproduction, zoonoses, veterinary public health, applied biochemestry and biotechnology, and other disciplines relevant to animal health.

 

Submission and peer-review:

Revista FAVE – Ciencias Veterinarias publishes one volume per year, which consists of two issues. The articles are published online soon after they are accepted. The official language of the Journal is Spanish, but the use of English is encouraged, and Portuguese and French are admitted. Submission, article processing and publishing is free of charge for authors.

Submissions must be made via Open Journal Systems at the Journal Website (https://bibliotecavirtual.unl.edu.ar/publicaciones/index.php/FAVEveterinaria) or by sending an email to: prensa@fcv.unl.edu.ar with carbon copy to favecv@gmail.com and to the e-mail addresses of all co-authors, if there were any. Submissions must include: 1) Cover letter; 2) Main document with figures and tables embeded; and 3) Supplementary material (additional figures, appendix, etc.). All authors will receive a notification of the correct receipt of all files.

Each contribution is managed by one member of the Editorial Board (the one whose expertise is best suited for the submission), who will carry out a first evaluation of the work to determine whether it is appropriate for FAVE Cs Vet. Articles that are not rejected at this stage, are subjected to external review by peers. For each contribution, at least two experts in the subject matter will be selected to critically review the manuscript. At this stage and until an eventual publication, the manuscript will be treated as confidential. Rewiewers' identities will be kept anonymous. A brief set of guidelines and an evaluation form is given to the reviewers together with the manuscript materials. The time given to complete and send the review is 3 weeks. The final decision will be made by the Director of the Journal, and will be based on the comments provided by the reviewers, the managing editor and its own judgement. Possible decissions are: rejected, rejected with invitation to re-submit, revise with major changes, revise with minor changes, accepted.

GUIDELINES TO PREPARE THE MANUSCRIPT

The following should be carefully considered for the preparation of manuscripts. Abiding by these guidelines will facilitate and accelerate article processing.

Formatting, type of contribution, length and language:

Manuscripts should be typed with a word processing software, in A4 pages, using double space, and 25mm margins. The font should be Arial and the size 9 for the Summary and Resumen, 10 for the text and 11 for titles and subtitles. Lines and pages must be numbered. Accepted formats are DOC, DOCX, RTF y PDF.

The maximum length of the works, by article type, is described in the following table:

Type of work	Word count (excluding references)	References
Original article	5000	50
Short communication	2500	25
Case report	2500	25
Review	5000	100
Opinion article	3000	50
Thesis abstract	1000	<10

 

The Editorial Board can accept extensions if proper justification is provided.

Original articles must contribute with previously unpublished scientific results of research conducted by the authors.

Short communications are also results of unpublished research, but that can be reported succinctly, although they must include enough detail of methods and results to enable full comprehension of the data.  The inclusion of the titles and structure of original articles (see below) is optional.

Case reports are considered, if the contribution is of sufficient novelty and significance to Veterinary Sciences. They may include epidemiological surveillance reports, outbreak investigations, and other relevant events. As with short communications, they do not need to be structured as original articles.

Reviews must result from deep literature analysis, and should be contributed by scientists that have a demonstrated academic production in the subject matter.

Opinion articles  are original personal perspectives on a specific scientific topic of interest for Veterinary Sciences. They may include infromative subtitles, tables, figures and boxes.

Doctoral and Masters Thesis abstracts can be published. These should include thesis title, author, type of thesis, career and institution providing the degree, date of graduation, name of the supervisors. References should be limited to the articles that resulted from the thesis work.

 

Preparation of the manuscript:

The structure must be as follows: pubication type (see above), title, author/s, affiliation, author for correspondence (include full address and e-mail), summary, key words, Resumen (abstract in Spanish), Palabras claves (key words in Spanish), introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgements (if there were any) and references. Supplementary material may also be provided (tables, figures, appendices), which must be cited in the text with its own numbering preceded by an "S", for example "Table S1".

Title: should be informative of the work presented, without being overtly long (max. 100 characters); It must be typed in bold, without final stop. When a taxonomic genus or species is included, do not add the authority, but do state order and family in parenthesis, for example: "(Diptera: Muscidae)".

Author/s: The format required is the last name (family name) and the initials (e.g. Leloir LF). Each name should be separated by colons. Affiliations should be indicated by superscript numbers.

Summary and  Resumen: abtracts must be provided both in English and Spanish, each with a maximum of 200 words. The Resumen must begin by a Spanish version of the title.

Keywords and Palabras clave: after the Summary and the Resumen, provide a maximum of five key words for indexing purposes, in the respective language.  They should be written in lowercase, and separated by a colon.

Nomenclature, units and abbreviations: Except for domestic animals, biotic organisms (vertebrates, insects, protozoans, plants, etc.) must be identified by their full scientific name when they first appear in the text (Genus species, authority year, e.g. Philornis downsi Dodge y Aitken, 1968), followed by Order and Family in parenthesis, e.g. “(Diptera: Muscidae)”. For chemical nomenclature use the conventions of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (www.iupac.org) and the IUPAC-IUB Combined Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (www.jbc.org/content/241/3/527.full.pdf). For units and abbreviations, follow the international system of units (https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/pdf/sp811.pdf).

Abbreviations generated by the authors should be spelled out the first time used in the text, tables and figures. Sentences must not start with an abbreviation or a number.

Macro-molecules sequences: at the time of publication, if the work contains obtention of sequences of nucleotids or aminoacids, these should be deposited in GenBank or similar public repositories. The accession numbers should be included in the text, with no mention of them in the reference section.

Acknowledgements: add people or institutions that contributed with the research in any way that does not merit authorship. Add funding grant and instittutions, and conflict of interests and ethical considerations.

References: all references listed must be cited in the text. Cites in the text are done with the name/year system (last name of the first author, plus 'et al.' or co-author if appropriate, and year of publication). Two authors must be separated by a '&', and when there are three or more authors only the first author followed by 'et al.' should be used. When the same author has more than one referenced publication in the same year, letters are used after the year. Examples: 'Groeber 1946'; Angelelli & Fernández 1972'; 'Manzoli et al. 2013'; 'Legarreta et al. 1981b'. In the reference list (at the end of the manuscript), the cited articles are presented in alphabetic order (by last name of the first author) and chronologically (when one group of authors has many referenced contributions).

The format used for the reference list was taken from “Scientific Style and Format, 8th Edition, Chapter 29” (http://www.scientificstyleandformat.org), and are as follows:

(Use standard abbreviations of each journal, with a stop after each abbreviated word).

 

Tables and figures: after the references, a separate page should be used for each table, and each figure, including their legends. If figures are sent separately, include a page with figure legends. All tables and figures must be referenced in the text (e.g. 'Table 3'; 'Figure 2').
