Presubmission enquiries

If you wish to make a presubmission enquiry about the suitability of your manuscript, please email the editors who will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible.

Only the complete manuscript will be examined at the presubmission step, since sometimes just the title and abstract do not reflect in depth the content of the manuscript. Of course, even if a positive reply is given for the suitability of a manuscript, there is no guarantee for a final acceptance at the end of the evaluation process.

Veterinary Research publishes the following article types:

• Research Articles
• Opinions
