Guide for Authors
Submission guidelines
• Article types
• Submission
• Formatting guidelines
JVATiTD has no restrictions on the length of articles; however, the text is expected to be concise and complete. Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be in English and neither been published before nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Authors should publish all experimental controls and make full datasets available where possible. Articles must be submitted through our online submission system.
JVATiTD uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from each other throughout the review process. Because of this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity. Therefore, it is necessary to remove names and affiliations of authors from the main manuscript file. Such information as well as all authors’ declarations must be included in the first cover letter.
The article-processing charge (APC) is payable when the manuscript is editorially accepted and before publication.
Article types
JVATiTD publishes the following article types:
Letter to the editor: a letter to the editor may contain a re-analysis of a previously published article; a study that may not cover ‘standard research’ but that is of general interest to the journal; or a brief report of research findings adequate for the journal’s scope.
Review: review articles provide concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in specific research areas within the scope of JVATiTD.
Research: articles containing the results of original research (work reporting scientifically sound experiments and providing a substantial amount of new information).
Short report: studies on important preliminary research findings, ongoing research projects or results of limited significance.
Case report: a detailed report of the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient.
Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted through our online submission system. The submitting author is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. He/she must ensure that all eligible co-authors have been included in the author list and that they have all read and approved the submitted manuscript.
In order to submit a manuscript, the following files are required:
The main manuscript file that must not include the names of authors or co-authors (an anonymous file, since the journal uses double-blind peer review). References and smaller tables should be included in this file.
A title page that must contain the names of all authors and co-authors, their affiliations, their e-mails as well as all authors’ declarations (see item 3.2 below).
A cover letter.
Figure files.
Any additional files as supplemental material to the manuscript.
Title page
Since JVATiTD operates double-blind peer review, please include in the title page the following information:
Personal information of all authors and their institutions such as names, affiliations and e-mails.
The journal encourages that the ORCID number of all authors is provided.
A list of statements must be included in the manuscript (item 3.2, authors’ declarations). These declarations should be provided in the title page. The topics are: ‘Acknowledgments’ (if applicable), ‘Availability of data and materials’, ‘Funding’, ‘Competing interests’, ‘Authors’ contributions’, ‘Ethics approval/Ethics approval and consent to participate’, ‘Consent for publication’.
Cover letter
The following information is expected to be included in the cover letter:
An explanation of why your manuscript is suitable for publishing in JVATiTD.

6. Additional files
Authors can provide datasets, tables, movies, or other information as additional files. Additional files will be published along with the accepted article. Results that would otherwise be indicated as ‘data not shown’ should be included as additional files. Each additional file should be cited in sequence within the main body of text. Additional files should be named “Additional file 1” and so on and should be referenced explicitly by file name within the body of the article, e.g. ‘An additional movie file shows this in more detail (see Additional file 1)’.
7. References
References must be numbered consecutively, in square brackets, in the order in which they are cited in the text, including any tables or legends. Example: “According to Lourenço [2], scorpion venoms have been studied for more than a century, and some interesting results were revealed since then [3, 4, 5]”. Unpublished data and personal communications should not be included in the reference list.

Peer-review policy
Peer-review is the system used to evaluate the quality of a manuscript before its publication. Independent researchers in the research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors determine whether the manuscript should be published. JVATiTD operates using a double-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers do not know the names or affiliations of the authors and the reviewer reports provided to the authors are anonymous. The suitability of a manuscript for publication will be assessed solely on criteria of scientific excellence. Final decisions will be made by the editor-in-chief .
