Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Ethical Guidelines
Tradition and Modernity in Veterinary Medicine (TMVM) is a scientific
journal dedicated to upholding high ethical standards throughout the publication
process. The responsibilities regarding publishing ethics of TMVM, for authors
and peer reviewers are detailed in these guidelines.
Editorial Process
We are committed to maintaining editorial independence and preventing
any violation of this principle, regardless of the circumstances. We do not tolerate
discriminatory policies towards authors or reviewers. Our editorial process
promotes fairness and equity at every stage of publishing process.
All publication proposals sent to us are checked for compliance with the
aim and scope of the journal. After passing this stage and upon the declared
confirmation by the authors that the article is not about to be published by another
journal, it is sent to at least two independent reviewers in the relevant scientific
field corresponding to the topic of the article. Within 14 days, they must return an
answer to the editorial board, with a decision on whether they recommend that the
article be published in the journal.
If one of the reviewers decides to reject the article for publication, the
journal notifies the corresponding author of this decision by e-mail as soon as
possible, attaching a detailed justification.
In the case of a positive decision by both reviewers, the journal will notify
the corresponding author via e-mail as soon as possible, applying all corrections
suggested by the reviewers to be made by the authors. The latter, within a period
of 7 days, must make the appropriate corrections and send the corrected and final
version of the article again to the e-mail of the journal.
A one-time extension of the period for returning a review by reviewers and
making an article corrections by the authors is allowed only upon written
notification to the e-mail of the journal.
Decision for acceptance of a manuscript is 8-12 weeks, including the time
for reviews and corrections.
TMVM scientific journal is published biannual – first issue June-July and
second issue November-December
