Instructions to authors

 

Scope and policy

 

The journal Ciência Animal Brasileira/Brazilian Animal Science (CAB) publishes only complete and original scientific articles, reviews, short communication, technical notes and, exceptionally, case reports in the areas of veterinary medicine, animal science and related. One of the pillars of the CAB is to support research development by disseminating information and knowledge to the scientific community as well as to other professionals and non-professionals interested in these areas. Therefore, we encourage our authors to use clear, concise, and objective language in their writing.

Open access 

The CAB meets the international efforts to democratize science by providing open access to scientific contents. All articles are made available free of charge and unlimited and can be copied and disseminated, as long as the original publication is properly credited or cited. The journal is not charging Article Processing Charge (APC).

Pre-prints

Paper submission to the CAB implies it has not been previously published or is being considered for publication in another scientific journal. However, papers sent to a recognized preprint server, such as bioRxiv and SciELO pre-prints, are not considered as prior publication.  Thus, in line with open science policy and to speed up research dissemination, we strongly encourage authors to share their articles on a pre-print server. All authors must provide us with the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the pre-prints previously published in the repository of their choice.

Data availability

All data used in the article must be open and available to the public whenever requested. We encourage the authors to deposit their data in suitable repositories. Information on gene sequences must have its access number to the public bank mentioned in the paper (e.g., GeneBank).

Language 

CAB publishes articles in a bilingual system (English and Portuguese). Authors can choose in which language the article is written and submitted. If accepted, the other linguistic version must be sent to the journal. Foreign authors may not be asked to provide a Portuguese version.

Peer-review Process (Double-Blind) 

CAB uses a double-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers do not know the names or affiliations of the authors and the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. The peer-review system is used to assess the quality of a manuscript before its publication. Reviewers assist editors in making editorial publication decisions, but the final decision is issued by the Editor-in-Chief. . Authors are given the chance to designate names to be considered by the Editor-in-chief as reviewers or opposed reviewers.

Ethics in Animal Experimentation

The work described in the submitted article must follow the ethical principles in animal experimentation in Law n° 11794/08, which establishes procedures for the scientific use of animals and requires submission of research projects to institutional research ethics committees. We suggest the authors consult the National Council for Animal Experimentation Control (CONCEA) and the Brazilian College of Animal Experimentation (COBEA).

Publication Ethics

All authors must ensure that the reported studies do not result from misconduct such as data fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. In the case of confirmed misconduct, the journal will issue a retraction notice to correct the scientific record. All papers are submitted to a plagiarism detection software (iThenticate) to prevent misconduct and to ensure the originality of written work. According to the guidelines of the COPE (Committee on Ethics in Publications), which aims to encourage the identification of plagiarism, misconducts, frauds, possible ethics violations, and opening of processes, we ask the authors to access and read the information on the COPE’s website and in the guide to good practice of the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo – FAPESP (São Paulo State Research Foundation), Elsevier's publishing ethics guide and Elsevier's website.

Copyright and licensing

All articles in this journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. It means the authors give full permission to anyone to share and adapt the content of their articles, as long as they and the original sources are properly cited.

Digital Preservation Policy 

The Brazilian Animal Science is hosted on the journals portal of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), which guarantees the preservation of its digital content by the Brazilian Network of Digital Preservation Services (Rede Cariniana). As an initiative of the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT), the Cariniana Network is part of Stanford University's program - Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS).
 

Declaration of Submission
Paper submission implies it has not been published previously nor is under evaluation for publication in another medium. It also means that submission has already been accepted by all authors involved, institutional responsible authorities from where the study was developed tacitly and explicitly. Its acceptance implies that it must not be published anywhere else without the written permission of the copyright holder.

Conflict of interest
Authors must disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest including personal and financial relationships with other people, companies or institutions that may or may have negatively influenced the study, besides any subsequent conflicts involving the need for mandatory reporting of illness or potential harm to exports of products of animal origin. 

Changes in authorship
This policy relates to the addition, removal or permutation of copyright names in the authorship of accepted papers, which must be made before publication. Requests for change of authorship must be sent to the journal's management department and must include (1) the reason for the change and (2) a written statement signed by all authors (e-mailed), saying that they agree with the change. Addition or removal of authors must include confirmation from the author being added or removed. Change requests will be sent to the Editorial Committee, and publication will be suspended until the change is approved.

Role of financial subsidiaries
Authors should inform research sponsors and funders and briefly describe their role, if there was any, in study designing, data collecting and analysis, paper writing, and decision to submit it for publication.

The Material and Methods, Results, and Discussion sections can contain subsections.

For submissions in English:
Title in English; Title in Portuguese (mandatory); Abstract; Keywords; Abstract in portuguese (mandatory); Keywords in portuguese; Introduction; Material and Methods; Results; Discussion (or Results and Discussion); Conclusions; Declaration of conflict of interest; Acknowledgments (optional), References. The Material and Methods, Results, and Discussion sections can contain subsections.

References and citation: The full list of references at the end of the paper must be under Vancouver Style. References must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the text. Accuracy and appropriateness of study references mentioned in the text are under the responsibility of the authors. In the text, the reference should be cited by the reference number placed within brackets and superscript numbers. The following are examples of references and direct and indirect citations:

Examples of references: 

  1. Simple or extended abstracts, as well as full articles published on annals, should not be used as references.
  2. We recommend not to use theses or dissertations as references. But if they are essential and there is no respective material in journals, citations should be restricted to studies published in the last two years. Such referencing must present the link that refers to the national thesis database of CAPES and to local thesis database of universities, which publish them in pdf format.
  3. We also request that authors prioritize references derived from periodicals rather than textbooks. Our scientific editor may ask for more information on references while editing the paper. In this sense, prompt attention by authors will speed up the publication process. Easy information retrieval is the main point of bibliographic, technical or electronic referencing.

Examples of citation: Reference citations along the text should be made numerically, in ascending order, within brackets and superscript numbers.

  1. Indirect citation: Reports of L. similis lesion are scarce in the literature. Histopathological studies with three Loxosceles species of clinical importance, L. intermediaL. laeta and L. recluse, showed that the venom induces vasodilation, edema, inflammatory infiltrate (mainly neutrophilic), hemorrhage, cutaneous muscle necrosis, thrombosis and arteriolar walls degeneration(6, 13-15). It is necessary to elucidate whether the histological lesion induced by the Loxosceles similis venom is similar to that observed in other species of medical importance. Furthermore, it is important to determine the pathogenesis of the loxoscelic dermonecrotic lesion(...)
  2. Direct citation: According to Zanetti et al.(17)and Nowatzki et al.(18)who studied the action of the L. intermedia venom in vitro on endothelial cells, it was observed that 18 hours after the venom action, cells showed plasmatic membrane convolutions and chromatin condensation.
