2018
Though European rabbits are a social species, socially housing them can be challenging. Therefore, there must be a thorough understanding of behaviors and social structures of pair-housed laboratory rabbits. Here we present a protocol to identify pairing methods, species-typical hierarchy establishment behaviors and behaviors that warrant appropriate intervention.
FAQs
Journal scope determines whether a paper is an appropriate match before editorial evaluation begins. Authors should compare their manuscript’s subject and contribution with the publication’s stated focus rather than relying only on general reputation. A strong scope match can help the submission reach the relevant editorial audience, while a mismatch may lead to rejection before peer review.
Author guidelines translate a journal’s expectations into practical requirements for formatting, supporting documents, ethical standards, and use of its submission system. Following them helps authors present the work in the requested form and reduces avoidable problems during initial screening. Information literacy enables researchers to locate, interpret, and apply these instructions accurately.
Researchers should assess whether the journal provides clear author guidance, describes its editorial and peer-review processes, and communicates publication expectations transparently. They should also remain alert to signs of predatory publishing, such as practices that obscure how editorial decisions are made. This evaluation supports informed publication choices and protects the reliability of scholarly communication.
A submission may require more than the manuscript itself. Depending on the publication, authors can be asked for a cover letter, declarations, and statements about data or other resources. These materials provide context and disclose relevant information for editorial evaluation. Authors should consult the specific guidelines because requested components vary between publications.
Authors first identify a suitable publication, review its scope and requirements, and prepare the paper accordingly. They then use the journal’s submission system to provide the manuscript and any requested supporting materials, such as declarations or data statements. After submission, the paper enters editorial evaluation, which may lead to peer review, revision, acceptance, or rejection.
Information literacy helps authors distinguish credible publication venues from potentially predatory ones, interpret author instructions, and communicate evidence accurately. These skills influence both the choice of journal and the quality of the submitted materials. They also support transparency by encouraging appropriate declarations and data or resource statements when a publication requests them.
