Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences (JAVS) - Publication Ethics

The Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences [JAVS] follows ethical standards for publication to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas.

It is important to avoid:

Data fabrication and falsification
Data fabrication means the researcher did not actually do the study, but made up data.

Data falsification means the researcher did the experiment, but then changed some of the data.

Plagiarism

Taking the ideas and work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest.

Multiple submissions

It is unethical to submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. The Journal will not accept manuscripts that have been previously published in refereed scientific journals.
 
Redundant publications
This means publishing many very similar manuscripts based on the same experiment. It can make readers less likely to pay attention to your manuscripts.
 
Improper author contribution or attribution:
All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims.
 
The JAVS supports the humane care and treatment of all animals. Any experimentation in which animals are subjected to painful or harmful conditions must be justified, and a statement as to an Animal Care and Use Committee’s approval should be included in the paper submitted.
All invited papers will be submitted to the same review policies and procedures as contributed papers. Such papers must conform to the Journal’s established style and form. The Editor, Associate Editors, and Reviewers judge the suitability of papers for publication in the Journal. Associate Editors, within a given field of specialization, are chosen on the basis of demonstrated expertise and high editorial competence.
