ABOUT DUPLICATE PUBLICATION

Material submitted to International Journal of Poultry Science must be original and not published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors submitting a contribution to International Journal of Poultry Science who have related material under consideration or in press elsewhere should upload a clearly marked copy at the time of submission and draw the editor's attention to it in their cover letter. If a part of a contribution that an author wishes to submit to International Journal of Poultry Science has appeared or will appear elsewhere, the author must specify the details in the cover letter. Consideration by the International Journal of Poultry Science is possible if the main result, conclusion, or implications are not apparent from the other work, or if there are other factors, for example if the other work is published in a language other than English. Author is responsible to get permission from previous publisher or copyright holder if an author is re-using any part of paper (i.e. figure or figures) published elsewhere, or that is copyrighted. The editors consider all material in good faith that their journals have full permission to publish every part of the submitted material including illustrations.

ABOUT PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and ideas of another author and representation of them as one's own original work. Duplicate publication, sometimes called self-plagiarism, occurs when an author reuses substantial parts of his or her own published work without providing the appropriate references. This can range from getting an identical paper published in multiple journals, where authors add small amounts of new data to a previous paper. Plagiarism can be said to have clearly occurred when large chunks of text have been cut and pasted. Such manuscripts would not be considered for publication. But minor plagiarism without dishonest intent is relatively frequent, for example when an author reuses parts of an introduction from an earlier paper. The editors will judge any case of which they become aware (either by their own knowledge of and reading about the literature, or when alerted by referees) on its own merits. If a case of plagiarism comes to light after a paper is published in International Journal of Poultry Science, the journal will conduct a preliminary investigation. If plagiarism is found, the journal will contact the author's institute and funding agencies. A determination of misconduct will lead the Journal to run a statement, bidirectionally linked online to and from the original paper, to note the plagiarism and to provide a reference to the plagiarized material. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be obviously marked on each page of the PDF. Depending on the extent of the plagiarism, the paper may also be formally retracted.


Electronic Submission:

I.J.P.S will encourage to submit manuscripts through e-mail for evaluation. Author(s) should sent their manuscript to the Editor's e-mail address: editorijps@gmail.com

By Regular Mail:

Triplicate copies of the manuscript should be sent, each with a set of original figures and photographs, typed on one side (with numbered lines), double spaced and an IBM formatted floppy diskette of 3.50 size containing the manuscript should be accompanied (mentioning file names, in Microsoft Word).
Manuscript should be submitted to:

Managing Editor
International Journal of Poultry Science

Criteria for Manuscript:

Submitted manuscripts will be assessed from Editorial points of view, at first, and if the manuscript is found appropriate for publication, it will enter the peer-review process. To ensure an unbiased review, referees will receive the blinded version of the manuscript. The corresponding author will then be informed of the evaluation along with the Editorial remarks. The authors of the accepted articles will be asked to provide their article either on a floppy diskette or via e-mail: editorijps@gmail.com The preferred word processing program is Microsoft Word for PC or WordPerfect. The Journal discourages the submission of more than one article dealing with related aspects of the same study.

Title page:
The title of the paper must be brief and contain words useful for indexing (avoid serial titles) the full name and affiliation of all authors. If an author's affiliation has changed since the work was done, list the new affiliation as well. The address for communication (along with e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers, if available) should be given.

Structure of Articles:
Articles should include Abstract (should not exceed 250 words), Key words (3-6), Short running title, (up to 40 characters including spaces) Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and References sections. Do not use Reference citation in Abstract. The Editorial Office reserves the right for editing the submitted manuscripts to fit PJN formate. In any case, the authors are responsible for the published material.

References:
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of References following the text of manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of author's names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the Reference list. In the text refer to the author's name (without initial) and year of publication, followed if necessary by a short Reference to appropriate pages. Examples: "Since Abdel-Salam (2000) has shown that..." "This is in support with results obtained later (Kutrup, 2000)". If Reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used followed by "et al.". This indication, however, should never be used in the list of References. In this list names of first author and coauthor should be mentioned.
