Types of articles
The articles published in INRAE Productions Animales are so-called "review" articles. They can be literature reviews on a given topic ("state of the art" of a question with regard to works published elsewhere). They can also be articles synthesizing results obtained from experiments, surveys or modeling work on a given issue, which must essentially be published elsewhere, or results obtained by using databases that must be referenced. In all cases, the results presented must be positioned in the existing literature.
These articles may have been published in English (or another language), in international periodicals, in books, or at congresses, symposia or colloquia. In this case, the French version submitted must be adapted to the public of the journal INRAE Productions Animales and must not be a simple translation of the original text.
