TYPES OF ARTICLES
Research reports
Most papers published in JAPR are research reports. The journal emphasizes the importance of good scientific writing and clarity in presentation of the concepts, apparatus, and sufficient background information that would be required for thorough understanding by scientists in other disciplines. The results of experiments published in JAPR must be replicated, either by replicating treatments within experiments or by repeating experiments.
Field reports
Field reports will be published when adequate background is available and conclusions can be supported by quantifiable laboratory or diagnostic results. The manuscript should follow the format outlined in the Style and Form section of this document. It should include a section titled Field Report in which the observations are explained and discussed under subheadings of Materials and Methods and Results and Discussion. Authors are encouraged to include subheadings for all major areas in this section.
Applied research notes
Applied Research Notes report the results of complete experiments but are less comprehensive than full-length articles. These short papers may convey case reports, preliminary, or final data fulfilling one or more of the following criteria: a single experiment, low sample numbers, or limited replication. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guidelines for full-length articles. The title of an Applied Research Note must begin with the words "Applied Research Note:". The running head shall be "APPLIED RESEARCH NOTE." Results and Discussion should be a unified section with concise data interpretation. A conclusions heading is not permitted. Supplementary data are not permitted. These papers are limited to: 1) 3,000 words or approximately nine typed, double-spaced pages; 2) two tables or figures or one of each; and 3) maximum ten (10) references. Authors must also indicate the section under which the manuscript is to be reviewed on the manuscript title page and on the Manuscript Submission Form. Editors may request that submitted full-length papers be revised for publication as Applied Research Notes.
Review articles
Articles submitted to this section may cover new developments in a field, describe the evolution of a currently accepted management practice, propose changes in management based on current research, or describe procedures. Clear distinctions should be made between firmly established practices and unresolved questions. Articles should begin with a concise description of the topic, followed by a critical evaluation of the important references. Review articles, whether solicited or unsolicited, will be subject to a stringent review process. Review articles should follow the general format outlined in the Style and Form, when appropriate, and include brief subheadings to separate main ideas. A Conclusions and Applications section should be included in most cases.
Symposium and workshop articles
Manuscripts presented at the annual meeting as part of a symposium or workshop may be submitted with prior agreement by the editor-in-chief. These submissions will be subject to peer review and may be accepted or rejected in the same manner as other submissions. The format may be similar to reviews, research reports, or field reports, as outlined in the Style and Form. Please see the full guidelines here.
Letters and commentaries
The journal accepts letters, book reviews, and other free-form communications (used to correct errors, provide clarification, or offer other points of view on pertinent issues). Submissions may be edited in consultation with the author.
JOURNAL POLICIES
PEER REVIEW PROCESS
This journal operates a single blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper, frequently under the direction of a section editor with expertise in the manuscript topic. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. For more information on the types of peer review, please visit: https://www.elsevier.com/reviewers/peer-review.
All submissions to the journal are initially reviewed by the editorial office. At this stage, manuscripts may be rejected without peer review if it is felt that they are not relevant to the journal's scope or do not conform to manuscript formatting requirements. This fast rejection process means that authors are given a quick decision and do not need to wait for the review process.
Manuscripts that pass initial screening will be forwarded to the appropriate section editor. The section editor may suggest rejection based on fatal design flaw, inappropriate replications, lack of novelty, or other major concerns. If appropriate, the paper will be sent out for peer review, usually to 2 independent reviewers who will provide comments. The section editor may recommend rejection or acceptance at this point, after which the manuscript and reviewer comments are made available to the editor-in-chief for a final decision to the authors. The manuscript will be sent back to the corresponding author for revision according to the guidelines of the reviewers. Authors have 30 days to complete the revision, which shall be returned to the section editor. Failure to return the manuscript within 30 days will lock the author out of re- submitting the revision.
Rejected manuscripts can be resubmitted only with an invitation from the section editor or editor-in-chief. Revised versions of previously rejected manuscripts are treated as new submissions.
PRE-SUBMISSION LANGUAGE EDITING
Please write your text in good English (American usage). Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing service available from Elsevier's Author Services.
POST-PRODUCTION CORRECTIONS
No correction to a paper already published will be carried out without an erratum or corrigendum (as applicable), this applies to articles in press and published within an issue. This means that any change carried out to a paper already published online will have a corresponding erratum or corrigendum published with its own separate DOI. Whether as an article in press or in an issue, if an erratum or corrigendum is published, the online version of the original paper will also be corrected online and the correction notice will mention this. Corrections will only be made if the publication record is seriously affected by the academic accuracy of published information.
Authors' corrections to Supplementary Data are made only in exceptional circumstances (for example major errors that compromise the conclusion of the study). Because the Supplementary Data is part of the original paper and hence the published record, the information cannot be updated if new data have become available or interpretations have changed.
ETHICS
Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
CARE AND USE OF ANIMALS
Authors must make it clear that experiments were conducted in a manner that avoided unnecessary discomfort to the animals by the use of proper management and laboratory techniques. Experiments shall be conducted in accordance with the principles and specific guidelines presented in Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching, 3rd edition, 2010 (found here; and, if applicable, Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (United States Department of Human Health and Services, National Institutes of Health, Publication Number ISBN 0-309-05377-3, 1996); or Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animals, 2nd ed. Volume 1, 1993 (Canadian Council on Animal Care). Methods of killing experimental animals must be described in the text. In describing surgical procedures, the type and dosage of the anesthetic agent must be specified. Intra-abdominal and intrathoracic invasive surgery requires anesthesia. This includes caponization. The editor-in-chief may refuse to publish manuscripts that are not compatible with these guides. If rejected solely on that basis, however, the paper may be resubmitted for reconsideration when accompanied by a written verification that a committee on animal care in research has approved the experimental design and procedures involved.
THIRD PARTY COPYRIGHT
As a general rule, permission should be sought from the rights holder to reproduce any substantial part of a copyrighted work. This includes any text, illustrations, charts, tables, photographs, or other material from previously published sources. For more information on third party permissions, visit https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/copyright/permissions.
DECLARATION OF INTEREST
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double-blind) or the manuscript file (if single-blind). If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. This summary statement will be ultimately published if the article is accepted. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
Preprints
Preprints can be shared anywhere at any time, in line with Elsevier's sharing policy. Sharing your preprints, e.g. on a preprint server, will not count as prior publication. Information regarding the preprint, including the DOI, must be included during submission.
