Peer Review Process
Similarity index
We check the similarity index with the use of plagiarism detection software (Turnitin). To reduce the similarity, please give proper citations and use the words and sentences carefully. Similarity index should not exceed 20%.
Research misconducts
Plagiarism
The manuscript is checked on submission by Turnitin, in case of similarity index more than 20%, the Editor contact the corresponding author with the plagiarism report to adjust and reform the plagiarized texts. The re-submitted edited manuscript is then re-checked and if the similarity index is not satisfactory, the Editor will contact other authors until obtaining the required similarity index.
Fabrication and/or Falsification
In case of a report of suspected fabrication and/or falsification from the peer-reviewer, the Editor will contact for a second opinion from another peer-reviewer. If the same outcome has been issued, the Editor will contact the author for full explanation without direct accusation. If there is no satisfactory response, the Editor will inform all authors to clarify the situation. In case of no response, the manuscript will be rejected.
Complaints process
This procedure applies to complaints about the policies, procedures, or actions of ZVJ editorial staff. We welcome complaints as they provide an opportunity for improvement, and we aim to respond quickly, courteously, and constructively.
The complainant is not simply disagreeing with a decision we have made or something we have published, but must be about something that is within the responsibility of the editorial department - content or process.
Complaints can be made by sending an email to: zvj@vet.zu.edu.eg, All complaints will be acknowledged within three working days and a full detailed response will be made within two weeks.
Conflict of interest
Journal submissions are assigned to editors in an effort to minimize potential conflicts of interest. The following relationships between editors and authors are considered conflicts and are avoided: Current colleagues, recent colleagues, recent co-authors, and doctoral students for which editor served as committee chair. After papers are assigned, individual editors are required to inform the managing editor of any conflicts not included in the list above. In the event that none of the editors satisfy all of the conflict screens, co-editors who are least conflicted will be assigned to the manuscript. In addition, co-editors who are least conflicted are assigned for all paper submissions by sitting editors. Journal submissions are also assigned to referees to minimize conflicts of interest. After papers are assigned, referees are asked to inform the editor of any conflicts that may exist.
In case of submission of manuscripts by a member of the editorial board, the Editor In Chief is the only one responsible for distribution of the manuscript to relevant peer-reviewers (Double blind peer reviewing process).
