Research Articles
They are complete reports of original research or metanalysis. They consist of the following sections (4): Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, and Discussion and conclusions.
Short Communications
These are original reports that are characterized by being limited in size or extent or, because of their novelty, require immediate communication as a preview of a more exhaustive one. They consist of the same sections as the research works. They cannot exceed 5 pages of text (in A4 size paper, excluding the first page and the abstract page) or the 3 figures. They will have, at most, 15 bibliographical references.
Case reports
They consist in the description of cases with unusual aspects that provide meaningful and original information. This concept includes the presentation or unusual progress of a disease, collateral or adverse effects not reported during treatments or vaccination plans, among others. They consist of Introduction, Presentation of the case (with the subtitles that require the type of case) and Discussion and conclusions. It must include relevant findings, both positive and negative, that arise from the examinations performed, the interpretation of the results and their discussion with references to the articles cited. If it is only one case, the clinical history will be complete, if there are several, only the most relevant data of each one will be consigned. They will have a maximum of 15 bibliographical references.
Review articles
They are narrative reviews aimed at updating a relevant topic and include a critical discussion of the state of knowledge. They consist of a brief Introduction (in which the interest of the topic or the reason for the review is explained), Subtitles (those that are appropriate to the topic in question) and Discussion and conclusions. They will have, at least, 40 bibliographical references.
Teaching research articles
These are works that constitute a contribution for the teaching of Veterinary Sciences (research work, interventions, etc.) that are superior to the mere presentation of quantitative results and include the corresponding analysis. They consist of the following sections (5): Introduction (in which the motive of interest, the current status of the issue, the theoretical foundations frame and the objectives and hypotheses may be included), Methods, Results (presentation and analysis), Discussion and conclusions, and Projection of the investigation.
Technical reports
They are descriptions and analysis of novel techniques in the fields of research, diagnosis or surgical treatment. They consist of Introduction, Methodological description, and Discussion and conclusions. In this and other types of work that require it, the methodological description can be enriched through videos of high-quality information. They will have, at most, 15 bibliographical references.
