Small Ruminant Research
Small Ruminant Research is focused on articles regarding small ruminants and is the official journal of the International Goat Association.Small Ruminant Research aims to publish original, basic and applied research articles. It publishes articles on goats, sheep, deer, and New and Old World camelids.The journal publishes topics including:• Nutrition • Physiology, • Genetics, • Microbiology, • Anatomy if associated with new research on function or production, • Ethology, • Product technology and consumer health effects, • Socio-economics, • Management, sustainability and environment, • Veterinary Medicine, • Husbandry Engineering.The primary focus of the journal is on domesticated small ruminants and camelids, but contributions on non-domesticated small ruminants and camelids may be considered if these have a clear direct or indirect relevance to farmed small ruminants and camelids.Further notes on editorial priority:Small Ruminant Research will consider studies on polymorphisms if they report novel findings and have direct relevance to those species described in the aims and scope of this journal. Manuscripts can include investigations into variation on different levels (e.g. genes, proteins, transcriptomes etc.). Associations studies involving single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), should link them strongly and experimentally to production traits. Associations of a single genetic variant with a single trait within one population without support of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) will normally not be considered for publication. Genetic diversity studies are welcome, but should include more than one or a few breeds with only local importance. Reports on allelic / genotypic frequencies or gene sequences that are not accompanied by novel genetic findings will not be considered. Manuscripts with quantitative RT-PCR without multiple normalizer gene products will be declined at preliminary review.Morphometric studies are not in our scope unless they are explicitly related with a production trait of small ruminants. Papers on the use of feeds in nutrition are publishable only if these feeds have more than local importance, which should be detailed in the introduction. In many studies of nutrition, the effect on animal performance of substituting a feed with another is investigated and the hypothesis is that no effect is anticipated. We recommend a power analysis to determine sample size before planning the study. If authors want to report that they have discovered no difference they should add confidence limits to the difference between the sample means: if the sample size is indeed too small, these limits will usually be too broad to be informative. If the authors' aim is to show no effect, then the usual rule for bioequivalence is that the 90%CI for the ratio between the two means needs to lie between 0.8 and 1.25. Authors need to clearly state the experimental unit and degrees of freedom for the error term. With nutrition papers involving feeding animals in paddocks or pens with more than one animal, it is the number of paddocks or pens which determines the experimental units, not the number of animals in total, unless it is demonstrated that each animal takes independent foraging decisions. Manuscripts that deal with the effects of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) or plant extracts using in-vitro methods only are not published, unless if associated to a large-scale, long-term in vivo study. In studies with PSMs or plant extracts, advanced chemical analysis of the extracts should be documented. In vitro studies of the nutritional value of feeds are not in our scope unless they provide a background for in vivo studies in the same manuscript. Studies of the quality of semen, oocytes, embryos, following exposure to various materials (plant extracts, anti-oxidants, fatty acids and diluents) will be considered only if they are associated with in vivo experimental evidence in the same submission. Studies on estrus synchronization protocols will be considered only if the protocol used is new and supported by hormonal analysis or other biochemical measurements. Estrous or anestrous period of the animals used, must be verified by hormonal analysis. Adapting protocols to new breed of animals has local importance but is not considered a novelty.In the field of health, case reports presenting work in individual animals will not be considered. Only case reports presenting population medicine approaches will be considered for further evaluation on the condition that they have wide implications, well beyond their local interest, and good statistical evidence. Studies examining the prevalence of disease are not in our scope, unless their implications are of interest to the international readership of Small Ruminant Research. Submissions must describe in detail how the presented information will enhance the management of small ruminants nationally or internationally. For products, we will consider studies on carcasses but not on the further processing of meat products for human food. Studies on the textile processing of fibres are also excluded. Studies on the manufacture of "milk products" as mixtures of milk components or fractionated milk with non-milk ingredients will not be considered for publication. Papers on production systems will be considered only if their results can be connected to concepts and knowledge published elsewhere and/or extend them to scale up in genericity. Therefore, descriptive papers on production systems and local projects without connection to global development issues will generally not be considered. Special attention is given to the quality of methodological approaches and bibliographical references.The section of Integrative Genomics, Transcriptomics and Multi-Omics accepts original research applying genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and integrative multi-omics approaches to advance understanding of biological systems in small ruminants. It includes both basic and applied studies using high-throughput and systems biology approaches to investigate traits such as feed efficiency, product quality, growth, reproduction, health, adaptation to environmental and nutritional challenges, and sustainability. Studies should link molecular findings to phenotypic or production outcomes, providing clear biological relevance; purely descriptive studies without functional or experimental context will normally not be considered. Submissions integrating multiple omics layers, discovering novel biomarkers, or developing analytical frameworks are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts must employ robust experimental design, adequate replication, appropriate statistical and bioinformatic analyses, and transparent reporting. Deposition of data in publicly accessible repositories is recommended to ensure reproducibility.- ISSN: 0921-4488

Theriogenology
Theriogenology is a journal for researchers, practitioners, clinicians, and industry professionals.Therio... aims to cover animal reproductive physiology, management and biotechnologies. It mainly publishes research articles and may only accept unsolicited reviews if they are on cutting edge fields and are prepared by teams with outstanding expertise on the relevant subjects.Species of interest for the journal include:• Farm animals (cattle, swine, small ruminants) • Companion animals (horses, dogs, cats) • Farmed poultry and farmed fish. Please note that papers dealing with wildlife are not eligible for submission to “Theriogenology” and should rather be directed towards “Theriogenology Wild”.Theriogenology does not accept submissions reporting studies conducted in invertebrates or humans. Furthermore, toxicological studies run in animals to document risks/effects in humans of drugs, plant extracts and environmental pollutants are also outside the scope of Theriogenology.- ISSN: 0093-691X

Plant Gene welcomes hypothesis-driven, descriptive, confirmatory, and resource-generating studies when they provide sound data and clear value to the plant genetics and genomics community. Computational studies and resource articles must provide appropriate biological, functional or benchmarking validation. Studies in algae and other photosynthetic organisms, as well as plant-associated microorganisms, are also considered when they provide clear insights into plant gene or genome biology or plant–microbe interactions.Studies that are purely descriptive, with limited biological, comparative, or resource value, as well as computational predictions without adequate validation or interpretation, are generally outside the scope of the journal.Plant Gene is a companion journal to Gene and a member of the Gene Family of journals, alongside Gene Reports and Human Gene, offering a coordinated forum for research on genes, genetic variation, and gene function, with Plant Gene offering a focused platform for plant-centered gene and genome research.- ISSN: 2352-4073
