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.
Please note that Canine Genetics and Epidemiology is changing title to Canine Medicine and Genetics, in order to reflect the expansion in scope to all aspects of canine health. Please direct any queries regarding this to vicky.brewis@springernature.com.
