Upon submitting a manuscript, authors must guarantee that their work is original and that neither the whole nor any part of their manuscript, regardless of language, is currently under consideration or has been published in any other scientific journal. Manuscripts that have been previously published or are under review elsewhere will not be accepted. The Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia also does not accept the duplication or translation of articles that have already been published in other journals or as book chapters.

Studies that are fractioned or subdivided should be submitted concurrently (as companion papers) as they will be evaluated by the same reviewers.

Authors are also required to certify that any use of other works or words has been properly cited or quoted to avoid plagiarism, which is considered unethical publishing behavior. They bear sole responsibility for the content of articles published by the Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia.

After submission through ScholarOne™ Manuscripts, the corresponding author must send the Assurance of Contents form. This step confirms the participation and agreement of all listed co-authors concerning the submission and integrity of the manuscript.

The original text of this form must NOT be altered. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure the form is accurately filled out, signed all its pages (by hand or with digital traceable signature), and e-mailed it to RBZ’s office at secretariarbz@sbz.org.br.

Manuscripts will not be evaluated without this form.
