Detection dogs sniff out COVID-19
BMC Veterinary Research Section Editor, Prof Holger Volk and his team at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, identify in a pilot RCT that trained detection dogs can discriminate between samples from SARS-CoV-2 infected humans and control samples.
ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines
We encourage our authors to adhere to appropriate reporting standards when planning, conducting and writing about their research. Therefore, it's important to note that the ARRIVE guidelines have recently been updated to help facilitate their use in practice. The new ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines can be found here.

Author support and information
Membership
Over 500 institutions have partnered with us to help authors maximize their research funding. Researchers affiliated with these member institutions may receive a discount on article processing charges (APCs). Check to see if your institution is a member and learn how you could benefit from APC savings when publishing with us.
Reporting guidelines for authors
The Meridian Network is home to a collection of reporting guidelines and checklists for research that involve animals. The checklists are intended as an aid for authors to clearly, completely and transparently let reviewers and readers know what they did and found. We encourage our authors to adhere to these standards.
COVID-19 Announcement
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. Thank you.
