MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

Submission of a manuscript to Ciencias Veterinarias y Producción Animal (CVPA) implies that the work has not been previously published, that it is not being considered for publication in another journal, and that the work has been approved by all authors and by the institution where it was submitted.

Manuscript submission is done through the journal's web platform (https://cienciasveterinariasyproduccionanimal.uat.edu.mx) for which you must register and log in beforehand to be able to submit items online and check the status of recent submissions.

Elements submitted online

  • Cover letter and statements about the manuscript

Letter addressed to the Editor-in-Chief of CVPA to introduce the work you wish to publish in the journal. The letter should include the following information:

- Title of your paper.

- Type of contribution to which it corresponds (Scientific Article, Review Article, Short Communications, Clinical Case).

- Names of the authors of the paper

You are requested to confirm some aspects about your manuscript by adding the following text to the letter: “On behalf of all authors I confirm that the work has not been previously published, nor is it being considered for publication in another journal; I also confirm that the work has been approved by all authors and by the institution where it was done. In addition, I confirm that the manuscript does not include figures protected by copyright or, if they are, we have permission to publish them.”

The letter must be signed by the author for correspondence.

  • Authorship sheet (authors' data and authorship statement)

The author's file will be an additional text file to the manuscript file that will include the title of the paper and information about the authors.

The full names of the authors should be listed beginning with the surname(s) and then the first name(s) of the author(s). Separate the different authors with a comma. A numerical superscript should be added at the end of each author's name as an identifier of his/her institution of affiliation. Please include the ORCID ID, if available.

Write the name of each institution, including city, state/province and country.

Indicate the author for correspondence and add his/her e-mail address.

The author's contribution to the manuscript being submitted to the journal (e.g., contribution to the conception or design of the paper, acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data for the paper, drafting or critical revision of the manuscript, among other contributions) should also be indicated in the author's record.

Once the article has been submitted, no changes in the authors will be allowed, unless it is due to an extraordinary situation (the criteria of the Committee on Publication Ethics: COPE).

  • Manuscript

The manuscript of your paper should be sent in a word processor file that includes the Tables and Figures at the end of the document. The manuscript should not include the names of the authors or their institutions of affiliation, since this information will be provided in another text file called “author's file”.
