Dear theriogenology friends,
Clinical Theriogenology is making good progress with strong support from the leadership and membership of our organizations (Society for Theriogenology, American College of Theriogenologists, Theriogenology Foundation) and Hannah Street Consulting, Inc.
In addition to publishing the Bartlett address (Vol. 15 (2023): Conference Proceedings | Clinical Theriogenology), we also published a review (after peer review) that was built on the Bartlett address (Vol. 16 (2024): Issue in progress | Clinical Theriogenology); thank you Dr. Stuart Meyers. As decided, we also published manuscripts (after peer review) created by presenters at the 2023 conference (Vol. 16 (2024): Issue in progress | Clinical Theriogenology). We sincerely appreciate the willingness of conference speakers to create full manuscripts, and working with us (Editorial and Production teams). We also acknowledge the time and effort invested by reviewers of these manuscripts; thank you all.
It has been a personal privilege for me to format, edit, and copyedit (initial) 76 abstracts for the 2024 conference that are published in this issue. We express our gratitude to the American College of Theriogenologists Scientific information/Abstract Committee (Drs. Roberto Palomares [chair] Orsolya Balogh, Misty Edmondson, Robyn Ellerbrock, Jessica Klabnik, and Karen Wolfsdorf) and to Drs. Jimmy Alexander and David Christiansen (Student Abstracts) for their dedication and due diligence. We are impressed with the broad range of topic, techniques, and application of ‘cutting edge’ science; student abstracts reflect the enthusiasm students have for theriogenology and the dedication of our mentoring colleagues (thank you all) in our discipline. Abstracts are truly an outcome of enormous amount of time commitment and effort and resources invested by the investigators and their institutions.
There is always a possibility of creating manuscripts from abstracts. Although some abstracts will need further work before a manuscript can be created, many have sufficient information to become either a case or research report. Please consider expanding your abstract into a manuscript for Clinical Theriogenology. If you decide to publish elsewhere, please acknowledge that an abstract was presented at the Society for Theriogenology conference and indicate that the abstract was published in Clinical Theriogenology.
We express our profound appreciation to Copy Editor, Dr. John Kastelic and Production Editor, Ms. Emma Csemiczky. Dr. Michelle Kutzler (Edtiorial Board member) joined us this year to observe the process of copyediting; thanks Michelle for your insights and ‘welcome aboard.’ In addition, I recognize the enthusiastic efforts of our ‘point person’ for conference abstracts in our management office (Hannah Street Consulting, Inc.), Ms. Beth Gibson; thank you Beth, we appreciate all your help.
Regards,
Augustine
