Veterinary World adheres to the below ethical guidelines for publication and research. If your manuscript is based on in vivo experiment, then follow the guideline of ARRIVE and amend the manuscript wherever necessary as per guideline. You must have to do it otherwise there may be a chance of reject.
Ethical Approvals
Experimental Subjects: When experimental animals (All live animals considered experimental when using for the study) are used, the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort. Experiments should be carried out in accordance with the Guidelines laid down by the International Animal Ethics Committee or Institutional ethics committee and in accordance with local laws and regulations. All studies using human or animal subjects should include an explicit statement in the Material and Methods section identifying the review and ethics committee approval for each study, if applicable. Editors reserve the right to reject papers if there is doubt as to whether appropriate procedures have been used.
Informed Consent
For studies involving human participants, authors must obtain informed consent from all participants, or from their legally authorized representatives where applicable, before enrollment in the study. The manuscript must state whether informed consent was obtained and whether the consent was written or verbal. Where required, the study must also have approval from an appropriate institutional ethics committee or review board, and the approving institution and approval number should be reported in the manuscript.
For studies involving privately owned animals, informed consent must be obtained from the animal owner or authorized representative before enrollment, sample collection, clinical procedures, or use of relevant clinical information when applicable. The manuscript must include an appropriate statement confirming that owner consent was obtained.
Authors should retain the original consent documentation. Veterinary World may request confirmation of informed consent when necessary but does not normally require authors to submit signed consent forms containing confidential personal information.
