Could you clarify the peer review process?
To ensure the integrity and quality of published research, all submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process:
Initial Editorial Assessment—The editorial team evaluates manuscripts upon submission. This includes verifying compliance with journal guidelines, assessing relevance to our journal’s scope, and determining the potential interest for our readership. Each submission undergoes checks for AI-generated content and plagiarism. However, we are committed to conducting a thorough peer review process in a timely manner. Authors are welcome to suggest up to two potential reviewers who are experts in the field and have no conflicts of interest. While these suggestions are not binding, they can be helpful in expediting the review process.
Peer Review—Manuscripts that pass the initial assessment are sent for peer review. Reviewers either recommended by the authors or selected from our database based on their expertise—are given 14 days to provide their reports.
Revisions and Further Review—After receiving the reviewers’ reports, the editorial team forwards the feedback to the authors. The timeline for subsequent rounds of review depends on how promptly authors submit their revised manuscript and whether reviewers find the revisions satisfactory.
Final Acceptance and Production—Once a manuscript is accepted, it undergoes copyediting and technical preparation before publication.
I am preparing a review paper. Is there a specific requirement for this type of paper?
For review articles, at least one author or group of authors must have previously published a minimum of five papers on the proposed topic. However, if the subject is of particular relevance and interest to our readership, the editor-in-chief may invite a researcher specializing in that area to submit a review.
Is there a quick review of papers in your journal?
The editorial policy of the journal does not provide for a quick review. If the topic of the paper is extremely topical and of special importance for the scientific community, the editor-in-chief can make a decision on the acceptance of the paper if all the necessary conditions of the reviewed paper are met.
Does the journal Archives of Veterinary Medicine practice “online-first” publishing?
The journal Archives of Veterinary Medicine uses the OJS platform, which has the ability to publish papers on an "online first" basis. The practice of publishing papers "online first" has been extremely rare until now.
However, as of 2025, this option will no longer be available. The editorial policy of the journal will use this option to its full capacity.
Does the journal Archives of Veterinary Medicine have special editions?
For the time being, the journal does not have special editions.
Does the journal provide waivers and special conditions for authors from low-income countries?
Since the journal does not have publishing costs for accepted papers, it does not provide a waiver for individual authors.
What is the journal AI Police?
Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, presently do not meet our authoring standards. Authorship attribution entails accountability for the work, which LLMs cannot adequately assign. The publication must document LLM use in the Methods section or a suitable substitute section. The utilization of an LLM (or alternative AI tool) for "AI-assisted copy editing" does not require disclosure. Authors may utilize an LLM or other AI assistant as a writing aid, provided they adhere to the aforementioned privacy and confidentiality stipulations, to assist in refining, correcting, formatting, and editing text and tables. Contributions of this nature must be specified in the Acknowledgements section, including the name and version of the AI. Authors bear complete accountability for the content.
These AI-assisted enhancements may encompass modifications to the phrasing and formatting of the texts but exclude generative editorial tasks and independent content creation. In every instance, human accountability for the final text version is essential, along with the authors' consent that the modifications accurately represent their original work.
The Archives of Veterinary Medicine does not allow figures or images that were made by or with the help of generative AI models unless they are clearly part of the study result and made clear that they are that.
When utilizing non-generative machine learning technologies to alter, amalgamate, or augment existing images or figures, the relevant caption must state this at the time of submission.
Is the Forthcoming/Online-First version available online before the publication of a specific journal issue?
Yes. Forthcoming/Online-First articles are peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in the Archives of Veterinary Medicine. These articles are made available online before being assigned to a specific volume and issue of the journal.
Once the final version is published in the designated volume and issue, the Forthcoming/Online-First version will be removed, and the official version will appear in the journal's archives.
Forthcoming articles can be cited and are accessible at the following link: https://niv.ns.ac.rs/e-avm/index.php/e-avm/forthcoming.
