| The International Journal of Veterinary Research (INJVR) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all measures against any publication malpractices, following the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (https://publicationethics.org).
1. Author Responsibilities
- Originality: Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original works and have not been previously published or are under consideration elsewhere.
- Proper Citation: If authors have used the work and/or words of others, these must be appropriately cited or quoted.
- Co-author Agreement: The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and have agreed to its submission to the journal.
- Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any conflicts of interest that may influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
- Ethical Compliance:
- Animal Rights: All research involving animals must include a statement of approval from an appropriate institutional ethics committee. Studies must be conducted according to internationally accepted standards for the care and use of animals in research.
- Human Rights: Research involving human participants (including data, samples, or interviews) must comply with the Declaration of Helsinki and other relevant guidelines, and must have obtained prior approval from an appropriate ethics committee or institutional review board.
- Informed Consent: For experimental studies involving client-owned animals, authors must include a statement confirming that informed consent was obtained from the owner. For studies involving human subjects, informed consent must be obtained from each participant or their legal guardian.
2. Editor Responsibilities
- Decision Making: The editor-in-chief has complete responsibility and authority to accept, reject, or request modifications to the manuscript based on the reviewers’ evaluations and the journal's policies.
- Confidentiality: Information pertaining to manuscripts should be kept confidential. Editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, editorial advisers, and the publisher.
- Unbiased Evaluation: Originality and quality of the paper, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the publication's scope should be the sole criteria for accepting or rejecting any manuscript. Rejections should not be made based on suspicions.
3. Reviewer Responsibilities
- Confidentiality: All manuscripts received for review should be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor-in-chief.
- Constructive Feedback: Reviewers should provide constructive feedback to authors to improve the quality of the manuscript.
- Conflict of Interest: Reviewers must declare any potential conflicts of interest that may affect their impartiality.
4. Plagiarism and Ethical Misconduct
- Plagiarism: Any type of plagiarism is unacceptable and is considered unethical publishing behavior. Such manuscripts will be rejected.
- Misconduct Reporting: Any cases of error, citation manipulation, piracy, plagiarism, duplicate submission, republication, fabrication or falsification of data, and financial conflict must be reported to the Editorial Board, which will investigate them even if the report is from anonymous sources.
- Post-Publication Actions: Articles found to have ethical issues can be rejected, retracted, or amended with errata.
5. Editorial Independence
Board and staff members can publish in the journal but are excluded from all decisions regarding their manuscripts.
6. Advertising Policy
International Journal of Veterinary Research (INJVR) does not accept advertisements in any form. The journal maintains editorial independence and ensures that its content is free from commercial influence. For more information, please refer to the journal's ethical policies
