While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper, are that the paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers, iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this journal. A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the journal is the safest course. All submissions to the journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures, if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.For more information, please refer to: https://www.elsevier...- ISSN: 2468-2020

Veterinary Parasitology
Veterinary Parasitology is a hybrid journal offering both subscription-based and open access publication. An international scientific journal and the Official Organ of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), the European Veterinary Parasitology College (EVPC) and the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP)Veterinary Parasitology is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and arachno-entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal.Hosts that will be considered: Domesticated animals include farmed or companion mammals, farmed or pet birds, wild game animals kept for commercial reasons, farmed insects (e.g. bees) and farmed marine and freshwater fish. Contributions relating to parasites and parasitic disease of other animals, including species kept in zoological gardens, will only be considered upon the Editors’ discretion if they are of interest to a broader readership.Studies on natural infections of experimental animals are within the scope of the journal, while parasitological studies laboratory animal models only fall within the scope of Veterinary Parasitology if they provide a reasonably close model of parasitic infection or disease of domestic animals.The journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as parasite reservoirs for domestic animals or humans. In these cases, the actual transmission needs to be demonstrated. Parasitic organisms that will be considered: Endo- and ectoparasites of the host species investigated. Among the arthropods, parasites senso latu (i.e. organisms that spend prolonged times on the host for feeding and/or mating and reproduction and can cause clinically relevant alterations) such as mange and other parasitic mites, ticks, nuisance insects and flies as causes of obligate or facultative myiasis fall within the journal scope. Insects such as culicids (mosquitoes) or ceratopogonids (midges) are considered as vectors only in conjunction with the parasites they transmit to domesticated animals, and will only be considered when the submitted manuscript includes data on the transmitted parasites. Zoonotic parasites will only be considered if transmission from domesticated animals or wildlife to humans is included.Manuscripts dealing with organisms that do not fall into these categories are generally not accepted. However, in rare cases, eukaryotic organisms described as pathogens for domesticated animals can be considered at the Editors’ discretion.Manuscrip... dealing exclusively with the taxonomy of parasites (i.e. first or re-descriptions of species or a taxonomic group, irrespective of the method applied) do not fall within the scope of the journal.Descriptions of genomes (nuclear, mitochondrial, or both) or transcriptomic/prote... data will only be accepted for parasite species listed above, and only if they include phenotypic or functional investigations. Functional studies on parasites or hosts not included here, e.g. knockout studies in rodent or invertebrate models, will only be accepted if the model function for parasites of domesticated animals is clearly demonstrated.Case studies are rarely considered and need to be unique or of specific interest to the journal.Manuscripts of geographically limited (local) interest which are deemed not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate in the Cover Letter why their manuscript is relevant to a broader readership. Otherwise they can submit to the journal’s companion title, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, which welcomes manuscripts with a regional focus.Studies on vector-borne bacterial disease organisms (Neoehrlichia, Anaplasma, Borrelia….) will be considered for publication in Veterinary Parasitology only if the paper deals with the vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals and includes data on both vector(s) and host(s), or if zoonotic. Studies on bacteria per se will not be accepted.Studies dealing with parasite control by means of plant extracts, prebiotics, probiotics, paraprobiotics, fungi, micro-organisms or other derived products both in vivo and in vitro, fall within the scope of the journal, but only if well documented (including analytical data on the composition of the products) and with therapeutically relevant inhibitory concentrations of purified and identified active compound(s) being clearly demonstrated. Effects must be demonstrated against relevant parasite life stages.- ISSN: 0304-4017

Journal of Plant Physiology
Mechanisms of Plant Function: from Molecular to Ecosystem ScalesThe Journal of Plant Physiology is a broad-spectrum journal that welcomes high-quality submissions in all major areas of plant physiology, including plant biochemistry, functional biotechnology, computational and synthetic plant biology, growth and development (including reproduction), photosynthesis and respiration, transport and translocation, plant-microbe interactions, biotic and abiotic stress. Studies are welcome at all levels of integration ranging from molecules and cells to organisms and their environments and are expected to use state-of-the-art methodologies. Pure gene expression studies are not within the focus of our journal. To be considered for publication, papers must significantly contribute to the mechanistic understanding of physiological processes, and not be merely descriptive, or confirmatory of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model as well as accepted model species and those that bridge basic and applied research. For instance, studies on agricultural plants that show new physiological mechanisms to improve agricultural efficiency are welcome. Studies performed under uncontrolled situations (e.g. field conditions) not providing mechanistic insight will not be considered for publication.The Journal of Plant Physiology publishes several types of articles: Original Research Articles, Humboldt Reviews, Early-Career Researcher Reviews, Invited Reviews, Perspectives, Opinion Articles and Short Communications. Reviews, Perspectives and Opinion Articles will be solicited by the Editors; unsolicited reviews are also welcome but only from authors with a strong track record in the field of the review. Original research papers comprise the majority of published contributions.Humbol... Reviews are expected take a broad approach, one that spans multiple areas of biological inquiry, and one that distinguishes itself from that taken in most regular review works by a deeper philosophical line of thought and a more global reach. Humboldt Reviews are also expected to be thoroughly respectful of the historical developments in a given field (i.e. not limit themselves to covering the literature of only the previous one to two decades) and speak to both its fundamental and applied aspects. They are named after Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), one of the most influential German natural philosophers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Our editors-in-chief take great inspiration from Alexander von Humboldt's profound and wide-ranging contributions. The Journal of Plant Physiology was founded in 1909 but it traces back to 1818 and to the geographic region Alexander von Humboldt was most active in. The Journal of Plant Physiology has consistently published landmark papers in plant physiology, and is one of the world's oldest international journals in the botanical sciences. For these reasons, we consider Alexander von Humboldt a particularly appropriate scholar after whom to name our prestigious review series.Early-Career Researcher Reviews: This new category is specifically aimed at early-career scientists starting their independent research careers. Suitable candidates will be nominated by senior scholars. Nomination letters should include a brief curriculum vitae and a justification for the selection. Nominees will be evaluated by the Editors-in-Chief and officially invited to submit articles. ECR Reviews should not exceed 8,000 words and contain no more than 150 references plus figures and tables.Early Career Researchers are within their first eight years of academic or other research-related employment, following completion of postgraduate research training.Founded in 1909, with roots tracing back to 1818, the Journal of Plant Physiology has consistently published landmark papers in plant physiology, and is one of the world's oldest international journals in the botanical sciences.An official journal of the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB)Authors are encouraged to carefully study the Aims & Scope of the journal to examine suitability of submissions. We discourage directly contacting editors about suitability of manuscripts, except in cases of proposals for Review, Opinion, or Perspectives articles, which are by invitation only. In the latter cases, well-developed proposals must be submitted for consideration.- ISSN: 0176-1617
Bioelectrochemistry

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g., genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemophenetic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemophenetics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemophenetic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.In the Biochemical Ecology subject area, studies addressing the role compounds play in the ecology of the organisms producing them are invited. Moreover, manuscripts that address hypothesis associated with the influence of factors such as altitude, geography, and seasonal variation on the expression of primary and secondary metabolites are encouraged. Research papers should generally represent a complete investigation and not preliminary data. Preliminary reports will only be considered where findings are of sufficient interest to justify rapid publication. New Source Reports will only be considered in cases where a significant chemophenetic or ecological finding is reported. New Source Reports have to be written in a standard format (Example).- ISSN: 0305-1978
Zoology
Zoology is a journal devoted to experimental and comparative animal science. It presents a common forum for all scientists who take an explicitly organism oriented and integrative approach to the study of animal form, function, development and evolution. The journal invites papers that take a comparative or experimental approach to behavior and neurobiology, functional morphology, evolution and development, ecological physiology, and cell biology. Due to the increasing realization that animals exist only within a partnership with symbionts, Zoology encourages submissions of papers focused on the analysis of holobionts or metaorganisms as associations of the macroscopic host in synergistic interdependence with numerous microbial and eukaryotic species.- ISSN: 0944-2006

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
