Instructions to Authors for 2025 European buiatric congress abstracts submission
example of one author:

Raphaël Guattéo
Oniris Veterinary School

Nantes, France

If there is more than one author, use the full names (with middle initial). Superscript numerals should be used after each author’s name to identify their organization, city, state and country, which should be typed immediately underneath the list of author names.

example of more than one author:

  1. Guattéo R.1, Ravinet N.1, and Dravigney L.2
    1Oniris Veterinary school, Nantes, France
    2SNGTV, St Flour, France

Do not include street address, postal code or e-mail address. Names, institutions, city and state should be typed in upper and lower case. Use 12-point Times New Roman font.

Single space the text within a paragraph, with a double space (i.e., skip one line) between each paragraph. Do not indent the first line of a paragraph.

Primary section headings should begin at the left margin; capitalize the first letter of each word (upstyle) and underline the entire heading. Do not use a bold face font. Secondary section headings should begin at the left margin, upstyle and italicized.

Abbreviations should be described on first use and should not be in bold font.

Tables must be vertically oriented and may be placed in the text or at the end of the paper. Captions should be a single sentence, typed at the head of the table; additional explanatory information, including non-standard abbreviations, should appear as numerically ordered footnotes, directly underneath the table. Do not change the margins to make tables and figures fit on a page. Tables should be constructed using the Table function of MS Word, with each entry in a separate cell. Do not make tables using the tab key or by using spaces.

Figures will be reproduced in grayscale in the printed proceedings. Figures must be vertically oriented and be accompanied by a short descriptive caption that contains explanation of all markers, lines and symbols used, but no abbreviations.

Symbols and special characters sometimes change or are lost during electronic transmittal from one system to another. Please limit yourself to the characters that are available in Times New Roman and Symbol fonts. Avoid the use of unusual symbols. You may want to consider spelling out symbols or special characters (such as alpha and beta).

Do not use footnotes at the bottom of pages since this area will be used to add page numbers prior to publication.

Measures should be listed in both U.S. (imperial system) and metric equivalents, if possible. There is no preference as to which is listed first.

References should be cited alphabetically. The citation sequence is: name(s) of author(s), year of publication, title, abbreviated name of periodical, volume and page numbers. Include name and address (city, state, country) of publisher for books.

See the next page for a sample manuscript that illustrates the formatting requirements.
