Equine Veterinary Journal

This unrivalled international scientific journal was first published in 1968 when there were four issues each year. It now appears bi-monthly with around 96 pages per issue containing articles with original and potentially important findings. Contributions are received from sources worldwide, including North America, Europe and Australia. EVJ has also produced a number of Special Issues, which generally appear as an additional 7th issue devoted to a specific topic, including Immunology, Colic, Evidence-Based Medicine, Laminitis and Conformation. These extra journals are distributed free to all subscribers, and are available to purchase from the EVJ Online Bookshop.

All papers published in the journal are subjected to peer review and once articles have been accepted for publication they should appear in the journal within six to eight months. They present new developments in research being carried out by universities, veterinary schools and institutes devoted to equine and/or comparative physiology, pathology, medicine or surgery and from workers in practice.

The journal strives to publish clinically orientated work and categorises articles into General Articles, Clinical Evidence Articles, Short Communications, Case Reports and Review Articles. General Articles are often accompanied by a Science: Overview which gives the reader a further insight into a particular topic and provides further reference information. The Clinical Evidence category was introduced in 2003, for articles in which the objective is to answer questions of clinical importance in a controlled manner based on data obtainable in practice.

A combined subscription with Equine Veterinary Education provides a complete service to the equine veterinarian with access to the latest peer-reviewed original work and information for the clinician assisting with the development of new skills and knowledge and continuing education.
