Breve Histórico O Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia - ABMVZ, editado pela FEPE-Editora, destina-se à divulgação de artigos científicos originais e comunicações científicas de interesse das áreas de Medicina Veterinária, Zootecnia, Tecnologia e Inspeção de Produtos de Origem Animal e ciências afins. O Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, publicado de forma ininterrupta desde 1943, é um dos mais importantes periódicos científicos dos setores de Medicina Veterinária, Zootecnia, Tecnologia e Inspeção de Produtos de Origem Animal e de ciências afins. Ele é disponibilizado on line, na íntegra, sem restrição e sem taxa adicional no endereço eletrônico https://www.scielo.br/j/abmvz/, para divulgar trabalhos científicos realizados por pesquisadores brasileiros e também do exterior, todos sempre submetidos à avaliação de pares. Portanto, ele é responsável, em parte, pelo desenvolvimento cientifico mineiro e nacional. A sua continuidade histórica com excelência ocorre graças ao apoio da UFMG disponibilizando pessoal e apoio logístico, sem o qual fica inviabilizada a existência de projetos bem sucedidos como o ABMVZ. A submissão de trabalhos por parte de autores, principalmente a partir de 2014, desafia os editores científicos e o editor chefe a serem ágeis e judiciosos, de forma objetiva, na triagem, avaliação científica e preparação de trabalhos aprovados para publicação em tempo hábil. Tal procedimento viabiliza disponibilizar para a comunidade científica nacional e internacional, em tempo adequado, o conhecimento científico contido nos artigos, para que a mesma possa fazer eventual aproveitamento do mesmo. Entretanto, este crescimento no número de trabalhos submetidos é percebido como muito salutar, pois possibilita uma seleção objetiva de melhores artigos para publicação. O tempo médio de tramitação de artigos, de sua submissão até a publicação, é variável, em função da própria natureza do artigo, da demanda dos relatores para eventuais correções, da resposta dos autores para as modificações solicitadas pelos relatores e pelo Comitê Editorial, além do tempo necessário para as correções finais pelos revisores das línguas inglesa e portuguesa e da normalização bibliográfica. O sistema operacional para acompanhamento pleno dos trabalhos submetidos à Editora, atualmente em uso, é um programa computacional de gerenciamento de publicação científica, o ScholarOne, operando a partir de janeiro de 2016. O programa contempla quase to
