Each submitted manuscript undergoes initial quality checks, including plagiarism screening using paid software and administrative checks by the journal handling staff.

2. Editorial Processing

This includes editorial handling, reviewer assignment, external review coordination, expert evaluation, and administrative management throughout the editorial workflow.

3. Article Production

Accepted manuscripts undergo basic language editing, typesetting, proofreading, layout preparation, and production in an online-compatible PDF format.

4. Post-Production Corrections

The journal performs correction checks to improve publication quality and minimize typographical, layout, and production errors.

5. Web Hosting and Dissemination

The APC supports website maintenance, permanent article archiving, and article dissemination through journal communication channels or social media upon request.

APC Waiver

Authors may be eligible for an APC waiver under the following conditions:

  • The corresponding author has a Scopus or Web of Science h-index of 10 or higher.
  • Authors are affiliated with institutions from low-income countries.

Special publication requests may be submitted by scientific meeting committees. Publication costs and related arrangements will be regulated separately in an agreement letter. In such cases, manuscripts that pass the review process may be distributed across several publication numbers or issues, according to editorial and publication arrangements.

Advertisement Policy

ARSHI Veterinary Letters has not accepted or published advertisements on the journal website or within journal articles.

Encouragement for English Manuscript Submission
