The purpose of Acta Scientiae Veterinariae [formerly Arquivos da Faculdade de Veterinária UFRGS] is to publish scientific articles of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and other professionals related to Veterinary Medicine.
ASV is concerned with papers dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, clinical and internal medicine, pathology, surgery, epidemiology, immunology, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, in addition to fundamental research in physiology, biochemistry, immunochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology applied to the veterinary field and as an interface with public health.
The submission of a manuscript implies that the same work has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscripts should be first submitted online to the Editor. There are no page charges, only a submission fee.
The Journal publishes Review Articles, Original Articles (Full length Papers), Short Communications, Fast Tracks, Case Reports, Hospital Forum section and Book Reviews. The decision of acceptance for publication lies with the Editors and is based on the recommendations of the Editorial Board and/or ad hoc reviewers. The journal is housed in Veterinary and Biomedical libraries in many countries and is also published electronically (http://www.ufrgs.br/actavet). Guidelines for authors and instructions for submitting a manuscript electronically can be found at the web link above. Animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals (Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzterland).
