As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Announcing the launch of In Review
Porcine Health Management, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:
- Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
- Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
- Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received
Journal News - we've updated our statistical guidance
We would like to emphasise the importance of the experimental unit being clearly specified in the manuscript, given that there are a variety of situations in animal studies where the experimental unit is not a single animal but a group of animals (e.g. a pen, room, pasture or litter).
We also wish to encourage the reporting of any checklists used for manuscripts (for example CONSORT, REFLECT and SAMPL) by the inclusion of this information in the ‘Availability of data and materials’ statement in the Declarations section of your manuscript.
For more information please see our Submission Guidelines here.
